Everyone knows by now that Sarah Palin has cast her support for Donald Trump which is bad enough but the REAL question here is: why the hell is Sarah Palin still a thing??? How has this woman who has definitively proven time and again that she truly is one of the dumbest people alive managed to remain in the public eye as a leader within her party and a voice whose opinion is sought out by anyone? THAT's the question I want answered.
So far as Palin endorsing Trump goes, it should be viewed as the political equivalent of Daffy Duck endorsing Goofy. Regardless, this unholy union of stupidity and arrogance is clearly cause for concern. Still, it coulda been worse, she coulda gotten behind Cruz.
Is it wrong that I almost want to see a Trump/Palin ticket? I mean, if just for the entertainment value alone.
Bill Maher's theory was that Republicans find her attractive (OK, really what he said was that they wanted to fuck her). I don't find her attractive at all, but I could totally see how a lunatic gun nut would find her sexy. And she knows how to use that, as shown by her winking during the VP debate 8 years ago. It's as good an explanation as any.
Edit: misspelled Bill Maher's name (stupid auto-correct)
If this were a sane world, having Palin endorse Trump would be the kiss of political death. But NOOOO this is not a sane world. So the Donald gets some points for the endorsement.
This whole thing is like some weird, offbeat, Orwellian novel.

And now a word from the Ministry of Solemnity:
I didn't realise Colbert was back!
He's now the host of the "Late Night" show (used to be David Letterman) on NBC. I think he doesn't get as much chance to shine as he did on the "Colbert Report," but "Late Night" is a much different sort of show. He still gets his moments though, as above.
Did anyone else see the actual endorsement speech she gave? It was pure Palin gold! A mindless, meandering morass of moronic mush while Trump just stood next to her with a dumb look on his face that suggested he was probably daydreaming about banging his daughter again.
I find that I can't listen to the likes of Palin, Trump, Ted Nugent, Rush,etc...for any reasonable length of time...I tried to listen to her entire rant or speech, however. I don't speak the Conservative,Christian, Authoritative, Tea-bagger language she was speaking, and lacked an interpreter so I could only make out parts of it.
I did read a transcript of her speech, and I found it amazing for two reasons, one her complete lack of understanding of how to structure a sentence properly, and two the amazing patience of whomever was able to transcribe her speech.

You know what would be a good idea? They should hire that fake interpreter from Mandela's Ceremony to translate what she's, well... semi-saying. :snicker:

Holy fuck. That means even though I'm not a US resident I am going to get Trump blasted in my face (news feeds) for another 10 months, potentially more. Balls to that.
Good news everyone!!
Tina Fey has resurrected her old role for the occasion!
The best part of these skits is that without the show logos on the screen, you really wouldn't be able to tell which is real and which is parody.

Tina Fey is so f-ing awesome; this was a good skit, and she is so good at her Palin impression, I mean it is always spot-on.
I love this part from the skit where she makes fun of Palin's tendency to rhyme:
"I'm here for all you teachers and teamsters, you farmers and charmers, whether you're a mom or Two Broke Girls or Three Men and a Baby, or a rock 'n' roller, holy roller, pushin' a stroller, pro bowler with an abscessed molar...."

I'm sorry, but are those supposed to be like...
Bad things?
I don't like pot and don't really care for a vast number of potheads and porn is... Well, boring. Sex with no commitment is, on the other hand, just fun. And if you catch some crotch rot, well... It's your own damned fault for not using condoms or choosing your one night stands more carefully. Personal preferences aside though, how are any of those things undesirable on societal level?
Can anyone try answering this from as close to Palin's point of view as you can get, but with an educated person's presentation skills?

It was inevitable Tina would be getting that phonecall and just think; IF Trump becomes the GOP nominee, and WHEN he chooses a running mate, and IF that running mate is Sarah Palin, and IF the Trump/Palin ticket wins the election, she'll be playing Sarah fulltime for four years.

I mean... No educated person would say the shit she does. There is no other way to explain it. It's not like there's some rational but odd veiwpoint behind it that can be nicely articulated and debated.

Those are big "
IF's" MB, especially the one of them winning the presidency...know way that could happen. Republicans couldn't beat Obama twice there is no way they could win with a Trump/Palin ticket.

I don't think he'd be so stupid as to run with her, since she pretty much is the reason McCain lost. Unless the crowd who believes he's running to lose is correct, in which case who knows?
Either way, I'm really happy this is already a gif

I love that! :cheerleader:
By the way, is that a bullet-blouse she is wearing?
I've seen a couple write ups on her choice of attire. Apparently it's some sort of cocktail party trend that translates horribly to national television.
Personally, I think Trump should wear it next time.

Wasn't Mary, the mother of Jesus, an unwed teenage mother?
Doesn't the Catholic church provide free alcohol to its followers?
Pot? Please leave Mary Jane out of it. >:(
Porn? There were no video cameras back then, but Solomon kept a thousand of women in his harem. That would've made one kinky porn movie.
So what is Sarah trying to say?

Sarah doesn't use words to convey thoughts or ideas like most of us, she just sort of releases words into the atmosphere like a verbal fart.

She was the governor of Alaska for one term - except that she quit two years into it to make money doing what she's doing now, whatever that is.

Quite so, it's so shitty up there they needed a good laugh!
To be fair, we don't know who she was running against. Governors are notoriously horrible. CT's is fucking horrendous right now and everyone knows it, and knew it when he was running. The other guy was even worse.
