| The world was shocked earlier this week when Fox News announced that long-time Professor of Talking Points and former Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Sarah Palin, was joining the network as a roving (no, not that Rove) Contributor and Analyst. Palin was summarily “interviewed” by network stalwart and ratings hound Bill O’Reilly, where she was forced to answer hard hitting questions like “Where do you stand on butter substitutes?” and “Isn’t it true that you wear more expensive shoes than the First Lady?” | Which got us to thinking. Who could come to TV in a way that we’d all have to stop and take notice? Conclusion? The time has come for Howard Stern to sign with HBO and host his very own daily late-night talk show. With all apologies to Jon Stewart (who we LOVE), If anyone can dominate the ratings, it is the King of All Media. Not only would Howard operate without fear of censorship, but neither Letterman, nor Leno would be allowed to go anywhere near material suitable only for HBO. | |||
| Forgive us for being a tad skeptical here, but what exactly is Sarah Palin qualified to contribute and/or analyze? Sure, the former Governor knows a lot about the collegiate admissions process (she attended 5 undergrad schools in 6 years). She also seems up-to-speed on monitoring Russian airspace with her set of trusty binoculars. Palin even appears experienced when it comes to blasting forest creatures with large caliber rifles. We’re just not sure how this enhances Fox’s already robust and delicious lineup of Fair & Balanced programming.
If your eyes keep drifting upward to that image of the Governor, we admit it, those aren’t her boobs. That said, the irony of that doctored photo is that her most dedicated supporters almost certainly would not be as rabid for her brand of “values” if she looked like say… Margaret Thatcher or Eleanor Roosevelt. Ever wonder who are these people that get so fired up for Palin? Do yourself a favor, take ten minutes out of your day and watch this video taken outside of a Going Rogue book signing in Ohio. Enlightening eh? And people wonder why the average IQ in this country is only slightly north of a spaghetti squash. Here’s a thought. Maybe the millions of people that actually watch Fox News (other than people like us, who are taking notes for mockery purposes) are the same people who line up across the country to meet and greet Governor Palin. You know, people who know more about chewing tobacco than chewing with their mouths closed. That’s why this relationship will be so mutually beneficial. Sarah Palin has inadvertently severed any possibility of a 2012 Presidential bid, especially when you factor in the “stupid comment to airtime ratio.” In that sense, we all win. Here’s hoping that the virtually certain forthcoming verbal gaffes exclude her from the political arena forever. |
Think Real-Time with Bill Maher (another @LessThis favorite) on steroids. No, not Mark McGwire steroids, but a shock-inducing, intellectual performance enhancer. No more beating around the “Bush.” No more cotton candy questions for guests in tandem with laugh and applause tracks. Finally, our insatiable appetite for complete honesty and spontaneity can be sated.
Picture the debut episode. First guest, none other than Tiger Woods. We all know full well what a scoundrel he is, but what better way for the disgraced poon-hound to remake himself than by telling all on the new Howard Stern Show? Screw Oprah, Tiger should look America in the eye and tell us he could care less what we think. It might go down like this: Howard: “So Tiger, you really like you some ladies, don’t you?”Tiger: ” Howard, I do. I f*cking LOVE ‘em. And why shouldn’t I? I am the best in the world at a game that millions try desperately not to embarrass themselves at. I’m worth a billion dollars that the government knows about. I’m half black and I carry the well-endowed gene.”Howard: “Wow. I really appreciate your honesty. So I have to ask… Elin. I mean, she looks truly delicious, how was she?”Tiger: “You know, even I have limits Howard. After all, she is the mother of my children. Whatever, f*ck it, people hate me anyway. She was awful, so in a way I feel like I was justified for my so-called indiscretions.”Do you see the potential here people? Rod Blagojevich, Brad Pitt (after he dumps Angelina), Bill Clinton, Octomom. They’d all be on the show! Pretty much anyone and everyone you can think of would make an appearance… Except for you know who. Sarah Palin’s handlers need not apply. |

Only.See.Boobs. Everything else just sort of gets lost…
Wow, on the SP video – Wow!!!
At the :59 mark on the Sarah Palin fanclub interview, we see a perfect example of why the Sarah Palins of the world have a chance. It’s called stupidity. When asked what are some of the policies of Ms. Palin that you believe in, she answers “Fairness, Realness, and I can’t think of any of the policies right off the bat.” But wait a second, aren’t you in line to get her autograph because she is a politician you believe in and truly admire? I guess she just really believes in “realness”.
I think that that was really interesting. Good post!
haha, Letterman is so funny! I love him.
Keep up the great writing. I loved reading your posting. Thanks
