What I find amazing is that Biden says things that border on moronic, yet SNL doesn't say anything, but Palin is fair game.

This was too funny. My husband was trying to pretend he wasn't listening and got hooked. Thanks!

Suzanne said...

I fell asleep last night before the show, so didn't get to see it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Absolutely hilarious, and yes, "spot on." I think I'll watch it every day just to laugh and reduce stress.

LOVE IT!

I normally don't feed the trolls, but in this case I'm going to because this needs to be stated.

SNL and everyone else pokes fun at Sarah Palin for exactly one reason... because she is a joke. Without question or debate, she is the most unqualified person ever put forth as a candidate to be a 72-year old heartbeat away from the Oval Office. She makes Dan Quayle look like a potatoe (spelled incorrectly intentionally) scientist.

I don't care for John McCain, but at least I did respected him, his war record, and service in the Senate. Succumbing to pressure and having this "hockey mom" hoisted upon him by the Republican Party to appease the fringe right wing nut jobs made me lose that respect. It is extremely irresponsible to place someone with her lack of credentials and experience in the position of possibly being the leader of this country.

So da old man, that it why Sarah Palin is fair game. The fact that Tina Fey doesn't look like Sen. Joe Biden probably keeps him relatively safe.

Tina did a great impression of her. I had to look twice to make sure it really wasn't her. I love it. Thanks for giving me a great laugh before I have to go to bed. Oh and in Dan Quayle's defense. I mispell potatoe all the time.

Cece said...

And although I'm not a potato scientist, I am a microbiologist, so pretty close. But spelling isn't my strong point.

my word verification this time is....bbzzbob

Every time I write the word "potato" I think of Dan Quayle, as without him I probably would spell it incorrectly.

Just remember two things:

All politicians are at least slightly complete asshats.

and:

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." -- Voltaire

As for Ms. Palin, the only things I have to say about her make me sound as if live in a time capsule circa 1953.

And that's just too freaky.

Who wuda thunk it???

I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.

Penelope/Karen... That's why I didn't delete da old man.

Interesting day and I'm up past 1 am, so decided to rewatch the video for another good laugh. Will do that in just a minute or two. But, first things first:

1. LOVE the comment page. Great response by the way.

2. Thank you for not deleting. And thank you even more for responding! I already knew you were smart, but wow, you're kinda sexy when you're angry too!!!

3. I was driving back from the park a few days ago and notice a McCain/Palin sign on a neighbor's lawn. I started to laugh and thought of the line from a movie, "That's a bold statement m***** f*****!" I was surprised they'd advertise in this neighborhood. Palin's a freakin' joke and the idea that she might possibly become president, well that's just beyond scary. Worse then Potatoe Head (spelled wrong purposely, of course). I loved what I saw the next day. The neighbor across the street from our neighbors up the street posted an Obama/Biden sign with tons of beautiful flag in varying heights surrounding it. Classy and absolutely gorgeous (I'll take a photo and post it). They have a really lovely home and landscaping, so it makes sense they'd go all out for Obama and Biden. I'm going to steal their idea and do the same. Now I just gotta get me a sign! Oh, and more flags. I'm thinking about installing a flag pole and hiring a marching band. No, seriously.

4. I must congratulate da old man for putting an unpopular comment on your blog. I've done the same on various blogs and lived to tell the story!!! I also love that he got you all hot under the collar. You may have to have that shirt launder professionally. "That'll be $3.50 sir and you can pick it up Tuesday, November 4th."

Love you (and good job!),

Bwaaaahahahahha!

Was that long incoherent economic analysis a direct quote? It sounded just like the original. Very scary.

just bob said...

Blottie... It's a lot easier to seem sexy when you don't actually have to look at me too.

catscratch... I think that's a laugh, so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Jennifer... I was thinking the same thing. The writers may have lifted that from the original interview.

just bob said...

Merely me... Glad I could contribute to your marital bliss.

Cecile... Tina Fey has said that she doesn't especially enjoy doing the character, but she is tremendous at it. As far as great laughs, I'm always good for one, especially when looking at my photo.

Suzanne said...

Bob, knock it off before I drive down there.

No, I'm not kidding. I'll pick RC up on the way, but know she's celebrating Rosh Hahanah, so might have to bring the whole family. Start cooking.

Suzanne said...

I'm not Jewish and that is only a typo. If she sees that you know she'll kill me. Okay, let's try that ONE...MORE...TIME! Rosh Hashanah. There we go by God (said in the voice of Sarah Palin!). What?

just bob said...

Blottie... I'll be sure it's vegetarian and Kosher!

Suzanne said...

Thank you. And now I have a surprise.

Suzanne said...

Apparently I don't. I thought I was still a guest speaker on your blog. In name only? How do I post without a place to flick my clicker?

just bob said...

Suzanne, I didn't take away your soap box. You should still be able to be a guest writer here.

Suzanne said...

Oh, I wasn't standing on the soap box honey, just hangin' out near the front door ringin' the bell. That was probably my problem. I'll try again once my finger recovers.

;)

Word Verification: "u very ew." What's that mean? I stink?

Lmao! Seriously, those are her thoughts lmao! I live five hours from Canada, whoo hoo, I know lots about foreign policy!

Whoops, Bob, just got off "Rusty's" blog and still laughing. The second to last post (Cindy McCain) just killed me. Just too funny. It's funny. I was going to leave a comment, but had to type in so much information I gave up. It's late and I'm tired.

Enjoy.
