Political Commentators, err, Comedians?

This blog entry is dedicated to a variety of news sources and their commentary on Sarah Palin. Some are funny, some are serious, most are scary.

If you have one you'd like to add to the list PLEASE send it my way!

Here are some of my favorites:

The Jon Stewart Show - "Sarah Palin may be the ideological opposite of Hillary Clinton, but she's her gynecological twin." The clip: John McCain Chooses a Running Mate.

By Fareed Zakaria - "Palin is Ready? Please." McCain says that he always puts country first. In this important case, that is simply not true. Published Sep 27, 2008. From the magazine (Newsweek) issue dated Oct 6, 2008.

From a Katie Couric interview with Sarah Palin - As Wonkette notes, the first couple of minutes and the very end are priceless! Also, I just like to watch Katie's eyes glimmer as she asks the 'difficult' questions! The clip: Couric Interviews Palin.

From the Huffingtonpost.com - "Palin Claimed Dinosaurs and People Coexisted". Need I say more??

Saturday Night Live - "Palin and Clinton" - too funny!

Saturday Night Live - "Palin and Couric" - also very funny!

Time.com: In Search of Sarah Palin - The McCain campaign has squirreled Sarah Palin away from the press -- a clear vote of no-confidence that does no service to the candidate, to women or to voters.

From the Huffingtonpost.com - Jack Cafferty: If Sarah Palin Being One Heartbeat Away "Doesn't Scare The Hell Out Of You, It Should"

From CNN's Campbell Brown - Campbell Brown Calls Out the McCain Campaign: Stop being Sexist

From MSNBC's Countdown With Keith Olbermann - Keith Olbermann makes good on his promise to pay $100 to charity every time Sarah Palin lies or repeats a lie in the course of campaigning. This week Keith donates $3,700 to the Alaskan Special Olympics Fund and one lucky Countdown viewer will win a can of Aunt Sarah’s Moose Stew. The clip: Keith pays on his promise.

From MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show - Pig lipstick: Rachel Maddow blasts McCain/Palin distraction

From The Washingtonpost.com's 'Media Notes' by Howard Kurtz 9/30/08- "Meanwhile, I seem to have kicked up a fuss on the blogs with my column yesterday reporting that CBS has tape of more potentially embarrassing answers by Sarah Palin. These are part of Katie Couric's "Questions" series--Joe Biden fields the same queries--and will air Wednesday and Thursday. I can now report that one of the questions deals with Supreme Court decisions, and that the Alaska governor was unable to name a single ruling other than Roe.
