Too Many Sarah Palin YouTubes To Keep Track Of, So Here’s ONE

by Jim Newell  

This is a “vlog” from New York City comedian Sara Benincasa doing her impression of snowbilly lady failure Sarah Palin, and it’s pretty funny — she has that accent down. Here’s part two, and here’s John McCain looking like a fool in the grocery store. [YouTube]

Those are so adorable, yuh-know.

The terrifying thing isn’t just that she does a flat-perfect Sarahcuda, it’s that she does a flat-perfect Sarahcuda doing a flat-perfect WalNUTS!

I’m waiting for the real Palin to do the “mother of five, fi– yes, five children, that I had myself,” in real life.

Dear Baby Jesus Christ,

You have played a horrible joke on us all.

Your friend,

I believe in contraception! And if you clap your hands loudly enough, you won’t get pregnant!

You know, I’m old enough to remember when the children of politicians were not off limits.

What happened since then?

I’m sure she’ll credit herself for building the Fortress of Solitude.

Don’t bring up the icebridge!

HAHAHA It is funny because it is true.

Little Known Fact: Sara Benincasa does the nasty with the guy that writes “Sally Forth”.

Serolf Divad September 2, 2008 at 3:27 pm

Actually, those two videos are the most awesome thing I think I’ve seen all month. Humor is clearly the way to go in exposing Sarah Palin for the ridiculous figure that she is, while insulating yourself from charges that you’re nothing but a haughty elitist (God forbid we seek an educated person to run the country).

Part 2 is awesome. “Bristol! Go breast-feed your brother!”

WonderWomyn September 2, 2008 at 3:29 pm

I love all the nutty stuff she’s doing with her eyes. *dies*

“and go!”

INCREDIBLY Little Known Fact.

Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

Scarab September 2, 2008 at 3:35 pm

[re=79284]AfghanVet[/re]:
Yeah, I was praying there was a plan in Iraq too. Unfortunately…

AfghanVet September 2, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Here is what is going to be truly great:

Regardless of how this all ends up, the evangelicals finally have someone on the ticket and it now fully exposes them to just how rediculous they all look when the light of reason is finally placed upon them.

They are going to go blue in their collective faces trying to rationalize all the contradictions they conveniently sweep under the rug when speaking within their echo chambers.

All of their echo-chamber reasoning sounds so convincing in the back rooms of the mega-churches and on the call-in shows, but becomes simply sad when they have to try and actually defend it in the general public.

They think this is a shining moment for the Evangelical movement, but I think it is going to turn into a comedy of ignorance.

[re=79310]naveed[/re]: Bwah! Crazy cat lady! “Some people think that Alaska is where white folk come to die.” Hee! And I love her taking the rum and coke, while saying that she’s still nursing.

And Part 4: Purse!

Look who’s running for Miss Buffalo Chip now!

I have to say, Sara is PERFECT in her voice. I’m still trying to learn the nuances for an impression. Great stuff.

Doncha-know!

Delicious September 2, 2008 at 4:17 pm

The first one is awesome. I think she’s rushing them out too quickly. But maybe she thinks Sarah will be gone soon and she doesn’t want to miss that flat-bottomed boat.

All I can think of now is Jane Curtin, egg salad sandwiches, and Tang.

“Thank you, Mrs. Lubner!”

[re=79374]Serolf Divad[/re]: the guy behind her is kind of hot in a fucking redneck sort of way!

sezme September 2, 2008 at 5:15 pm

[re=79374]Serolf Divad[/re]: Pity, but predictable. I don’t think that’s how they fish in Alaska – there’s ice.

[re=79340]Pop Socket[/re]: I’m starting to wish I was Francesco Marciuliano (apart from having to take credit for Sally Forth).

That’s the funniest thing EVA.

TGY September 2, 2008 at 6:07 pm

Her hair’s impressive. Like it got caught in a moose’s antlers or something.

Master Robyn September 2, 2008 at 6:42 pm

[re=79425]whatever_dc[/re]: You know, I saw that live, noticed that, but it’s nice to see someone made it blatant for the hard of ironic detection…

showmeonthedoll September 2, 2008 at 8:09 pm

She’s a real hoot, that’s fer darn sure.

Two of my favorite lines: “Go nurse your brother.”
That’s so wrong. So, so wrong.

And regarding the Bering Strait: “That’s the one those people crossed over.”

Also Sara Benicasa is now my new internet imaginary BFF.

I can’t believe I missed this back in September. Better the Tina Fey, Fer Shure.

Ha. Marry me.
