Dunno about anybody else, but I get a HUGE kick out of the image of Barry getting off on his fantasies of raunchydog and me sputtering. He hasn't noticed that we ignore him when he tries to make fun of us. But if that doesn't tickle your funny bone, check out the elaborate mess Barry makes of his rant about Palin and Fey: > Think about the recent election. For a while people were > actually so shocked that McNumnuts chose Sarah Palin as > his running mate that they were almost afraid to point > out the obvious -- that she was an idiot in the true > sense of the word, both ignorant and proud of it. Actually, if Barry had been paying attention, he'd know that Palin's deficiencies had been noticed and discussed at great length--even by some conservatives--immediately after she was announced as McCain's choice for VP. Our own Shemp observed, in a post of August 29, the day her selection was announced: "I've seen more hatred --sputtering hatred -- expressed against Palin in the MSM in the past 6 hours since her nomination was announced than in the last 6 months of Hillary's running." > Then along came Tina Fey.

She was literally laughed out of contention. Actually, of course, Fey never did a Palin "five-minute monologue"; Barry appears to have hallucinated that along with everything else. All Fey's Palin impressions on SNL were done with other people. Fey's first Palin impression was her joint appearance with Amy Poehler playing Hillary, in which the two were giving a press conference; this was on September 13, *after* Palin's interview with ABC's Charles Gibson, in which she didn't seem to know what the Bush doctrine was and made a bunch of other gaffes, including that being able to see Russia from Alaska somehow gave her foreign policy experience. Folks had been laughing about that all week. Barry seems to be thinking of the parody Fey did two weeks later, on September 27, of Palin's interview with Katie Couric, in which a number of Palin's responses to Couric were repeated almost verbatim by Fey. But Palin had long since become a laughingstock for much of America without Fey's help. Have a look at the posts here (624 of 'em, more than 40 a day) between the time she was announced as McCain's pick and Tina Fey's first SNL impression of Palin for a good reflection of what most of the country was saying about her.
