We have all been subjected to the new (stolen) Jay Leno Show promos during the Olympics. I’d like my curling finals Palin-free, but it’s apparently not to be. Thanks to his prime-time failure, Jay has his old show back.
I’m a Letterman girl; I can’t help it-whining bugs me. Sarah Palin will appear right alongside gold-medal winners as one of Jay’s welcome back guests next week. How can this be?
David Letterman’s unfortunate joke last summer had a long shelf life. Half of the Paliban think Letterman actually raped one of the Palin girls. Why wouldn’t they? Her statement insinuated he was a pedophile.
Jay Leno, however, is in high-favor with the half-term governor. Sarah, what’s the difference between jokes about your daughter being impregnated by Alex Rodriguez and John Edwards? Do tell.
On September 2, 2008, Jay Leno joked: “Governor Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. Oh, boy, you thought John Edwards was in trouble before, now he’s really done it!”
WOW! Sarah is going on the air with a guy who said John Edwards impregnated her daughter who was a minor? Don’t get me wrong, John Edwards is an asshat, but knocking up a minor? Well, we’re still waiting for that tape. Dang, is this covered in the “Sarah Palin Satire Clause”?
Later he joked: “And we’re learning more and more about Governor Palin. Apparently her daughter’s name is Juno.”
Precious!
AND then …”All the Republicans are heaping praise on Governor Palin. Fred Thompson said, as an actor, he could see them making a movie about Sarah Palin and her family. Didn’t they already make that movie? I think it was called ‘Knocked Up!'”
I think Sarah owes David Letterman a fruit basket and an “I’m sorry I jumped on your case, it was working for me then.”
So many jokes from Jay Leno, but I found one I agree with: “She said at her church, Governor Palin, said she asked everyone to pray for a natural gas pipeline, which she said was God’s will. And today, God said, “Hey lady, I don’t deal with oil companies. That’s more Satan’s area.”
Yet another chapter of Hypocrisy Now! With Sarah Palin. (My apologize to Democracy NOW! With Amy Goodman)

Jay was probably doing some “satire” – big difference in Sarah’s world!

With each passing day, Sarah makes herself look more stupid. Waiting for bottom to fall.

Kilia, Her bottom already fell – called age & gravity – but due to inventions through plastic surgery, she probably had that fixed too!!

Also too, Edwards is a Democrat. Does that mean anything?

If there is a psychiatric term for selective umbrage we could add it to the various other terms that describe her psychopathy.

Is there a chance Sarah isn’t aware of Leno’s jokes about her minor daughter? How do we make sure she knows about them and challenge her to put Leno in the pedophile category and cancel her appearance on his show?

How will she juggle her pass with Rush, her hatred toward Letterman, Family Guy and Rahm, and still appear on Leno who did the same joke? Lol! Satire won’t work this time around. BTW, did she address the comments from the actress from Family Guy yet?
Blech! I’m so tired of her. I feel sorry for you Alaskans who have to deal with the absurdity of Palin everyday.

She will do anything for easy money. Because of the Leno jokes, people will be tuning in to see how he handles her. Its all about ratings.

I can think of a major difference between Leno and Letterman. McCain cancelled an appearance with Letterman to return to Washington immediately. Letterman caught McCain on camera down the hall at another studio. Maybe Palin sought revenge on Letterman as a threat who exposed the charade the McCain campaign was trying to pull off for damage control after declaring “the fundamentals of the economy are strong”. Fundamentally it must be to her advantage to go on Leno. I read a funy comment by someone who was concerned Leno might “ask a trap question like about foreign policy” so Palin maybe ought not to go on the show. The laughs keep coming!

The real answer to why she went after Letterman with such vile accusations had nothing to do with remarks about her daughter(s). It was because of his slutty stewardess remark. Same with Family Guy, if the girl hadn’t said her mother was the former Gov of AK, there wouldn’t have been a word said. It’s all about HER, HER, HER. She really doesn’t care if her kids get slammed as long as she doesn’t.

Absolutely, Sarah was miffed by the slutty flight attendant joke. Truthfully, Sarah Palin did not and will never have the basic qualifications to be a flight attendant in the early days of commercial flight.

I can’t wait until she is bought down! I hope she falls flat on her ugly troll face.

The Tonight Show is taped in California.
Think of it, she can do Leno’s show, shop on Rodeo Drive, visit her plastic surgeon, serve Ricky Hollywood some court papers AND visit the Palin shrine (the Hillbilly mansion)!

Careful Shannyn, I might have to link this to my HIGHpocrisy blog, thereby adding all of 1 follower to your fan base.
Keep up the good work!

I feel SO sorry for Olympic Gold medal Snowboarder Shaun White….here you work for years and bust your butt, model good sportsmanship, perseverence and humility for millions of young kids around the world, and as soon the the Olympics are over you are scheduled on Jay Leno on the same night as dipshit bumpit baby-swappin’ Barbie.
Palin will undoubtedly also have either a TriggyProp™® or a PiperProp™® to draw even more attention to herself. Watch her make up some stupid story to try and act young and relevant: “waaaal, we were in the livin’ room just watchin’ those good strong pro-Americana Olympic Games and I was havin’ a crunchwrap and moose muffins–and we were so excited about all that great racin’ on those skates and didja know I used to be a hockey mom? Which also hockey is a lot like speed skatin’ because they both have skates and there’s snacks at the arena!!…..and…oh, and also ice too! So Shaun, did you see the frost heaves around the majesty, wonder and Canadian mounties of Canada?”
Shaun White is a class act–he deserves to either be there as a solo guest, or with a partner guest who has some integrity. And if Leno does put him on with Palin, he should have top billing….AND get another gold medal for having to listen to Palin’s self-absorbed screeching.

Hi Shannyn,
My name is Michelle J. Nealy. I am a graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park, majoring in online journalism. I was wondering if it would be possible to discuss your online media strategy with you. Basically, I am curious to know how you use Twitter, Facebook and WordPress to get your work to the masses.
Best,
Michelle J. Nealy
