Watch Sarah Palin’s First Political Ad From Back In The Day

Here’s a budget commercial for a small-town plumbing and carpentry business… oh no it’s a political ad! And it’s Sarah Palin’s first political ad, in fact, from her mayoral campaign in the global city of Wasilla. The background music is some cheap ’70s parlor jazz straight out of your favorite wood-paneled cocktail lounge, and Sarah pushes her kids on the damn municipal swing set. And if you swing just high enough on that swing set, you can see Russia and its nukes. Know? [YouTube]

    Worst production values EVAR!

  2. MathewBrooks says at 2:07 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Obvs they blew their entire production budget on mortar for her hair.

  3. loudmouthredhead says at 2:08 pm, September 17th, 2008

    But it’s got that there small town music and everythin’, doncha know. Her hair needs some fixin’ though.

    “Responsible individuals” my ass, lipstick.

  4. soytrucknutz says at 2:08 pm, September 17th, 2008

    When they walk away from the swing set she is leading them to the place where they make babies.

  5. irisheyes says at 2:09 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Why was their election day October 1st?! Isn’t that usually Election Day in Russia? WOLVERINES!

  6. V572625694 says at 2:09 pm, September 17th, 2008

    You get the same feeling watching her that you do watching Dana Perino: she’s so pretty, even with that hillbilly-on-prom-night hair. But then you have remind yourself that “pretty” does not necessarily mean “good.”

    Compare and contrast:

    Sarah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZlWnCcBFpo&feature=user

    Kitty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oC5HG1Qr_U

    “What hath God wrought?”

  8. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 2:10 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Her slogan was “A new mayor for Wasilla”? Wow. Her creativity astounds me. After all, on one else could possibly lay claim to that one! Except, well, of course, everyone who isn’t currently the mayor.

  9. greatgooglymoogly says at 2:11 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Well, at least now we know why she wears those glasses: she’s totally cross-eyed. Looks like a moose in the cross-hairs.

  10. That music was from when porn actresses had thick, luxuriant bushes.

  11. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 2:12 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: Or “no one.” I be a bad typist.

  12. A heartbeat away…

  13. HedonismBot says at 2:12 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Here is a link to another local teevee commercial produced by the same company.

    If only you would research the young Obama in the same fashion.
    Think he might have something to hide from his MSM groupies.

  15. V572625694: Have you not been told? Do not gaze directly into the eyes of the beast.

  16. medievalist says at 2:13 pm, September 17th, 2008

    That voice — like fingernails on the blackboard of the American soul.

  17. Itsjustme says at 2:14 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Still looks like a bitch to me.

  18. soytrucknutz: The Prayer Cave?

  19. greatgooglymoogly: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I knew SP reminded me of someone. How could I forget Kitty! Hell, I live in FL, albeit on the right coast (in this case, right is more left). Who could ever forget K…..need….more…..vodka.

  20. mookworthjwilson says at 2:15 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Wasilla! A city on the…grow?

  21. nietzscheprojectile says at 2:16 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Energetically determined to destroy you.

  22. I thought she had the look of a kid spinner. And on a dirty tire to boot. You can’t trust those types with the important state business of grudge-enacting and low level grift.

  23. mookworthjwilson says at 2:18 pm, September 17th, 2008

    rightofmiddle: What was Walnuts! doing in 1982??? Getting ready to have the US Government spend billions of dollars saving failed savings and loans run by his friends!!!!

  24. mookworthjwilson: “Grow” is Wasillan for crystal.

  25. greatgooglymoogly: This statement is completely prejudiced against Sarah and other suffers of Amblyopia. Shame on you sir! Clearly Obama is not showing the differently sighted proper respect.

  26. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:21 pm, September 17th, 2008

    V572625694: Dana Perino pretty? Mmmm….not so much. She’s also single as are SheBeast Coulter & KO’s ex Ingraham (who had to adopt a brown baby because obviously no man would marry her & then impregnate her). These women all sold their souls for the greater Republican cause, but when the minimum wage aide at the nursing home is assaulting them & stealing their money, guess they can die happy, right?

  27. Wow. That hair. The pageant coaches must be proud.

  28. nietzscheprojectile says at 2:25 pm, September 17th, 2008

    rightofmiddle: Oy, non MSM does not mean credible.

  29. HedonismBot says at 2:26 pm, September 17th, 2008

    HedonismBot: Maybe this link will work better:

  30. So how about that 4chan hacking Palin’s yahoo mail?

    I’m sure all the interesting stuff has been long deleted, but this is still hilarious.

  31. Vanity Smurf says at 2:32 pm, September 17th, 2008

    I bet Kitty Harris feels totally jilted over not being picked for veep.

  32. Texan Bulldoggette: Perino’s married, albeit to a European … so the marriage might not really count. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3022248.ece

  33. slackdaemon says at 2:33 pm, September 17th, 2008

    AAAARGH
    brush script!1!11
    my eyes…they BURNN

  34. Johnny Zhivago says at 2:34 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Have you ever been to a PTA meeting???

    If you have - you KNOW - how scary this is!

  35. loudmouthredhead says at 2:35 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Da Derga: Win

  36. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:38 pm, September 17th, 2008

    S.Luggo: Ooops…thought I read an article that said she wasn’t married. But, yeah, I stick by comments about the other two; two meaner/nastier women would be hard to find (other than Mother Sarah & even she found someone to marry her).

  37. slithy_tove says at 2:40 pm, September 17th, 2008

    I hear a loud thud and murmur as the producers and casts of MadTV and Saturday Night Live fall to their knees in unison, praying for a McCain/Palin win.

  38. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 2:40 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Is this the type of ad that paid for Wayne’s World? Jesus, talk about a fucking abortion.

  39. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:43 pm, September 17th, 2008

    V572625694: Word. The prettiness it is like brain-kryptonite. But then she starts talking with the accent and the stupidity and the spell is broken.

  40. rightofmiddle: Research in the same fashion as what, watching Fox News? See that little logo in the bottom left-hand corner? The tool that appears at the very end of the video?

    Two Troll Points for being at least vaguely on-topic, though.

  41. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 2:45 pm, September 17th, 2008

    rightofmiddle: Hey,that’s great. Barry had Pakistani friends and Pakistan exports heroin. Great investigative journalism there. Now why don’t you go fuck off.

  42. loudmouthredhead says at 2:46 pm, September 17th, 2008

    MathewBrooks: Where do you think that $20 Mil city debt came from? Giving Bristol secret abortions? hahahaaha…well…hmm

  43. InsidiousTuna says at 2:47 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Tawmn: 50 SPF away.

  44. A preview of the future, her daughter whatshername was a swinger
    even then, and her son had to have someone hold his hand.
    He can expect to be passed around the barracks (ummm, almost
    sounded like Baracks) just like a party favor. Good thing he didn’t
    pick the Navy to avoid jail time, he’d learn how to play submarine
    really quickly. All in all, not a bad ad if, as it seems, it was shot
    with a $38.00 budget on their home VHS camcorder and her finger
    nails on the chalkboard voice was recorded with 2 tin cans and
    a piece of string.

  45. Whiskeybaby says at 2:51 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Some other, better, commenter than me observed recently that she looks as though she’s fallen face-first into a big pile of Max Factor makeup, and I concur.

  46. Still say she might not make it to Novemeber. Stonewalling the troopergate investigation, a family that gives “white trash” a bad name (mom in law serving lye to a kid???), a growing list of outright lies and her general stupidy could sink her yet. She could still get a nice morning show out of it on public access.

  47. not bad. i bet gwb couldn’t do as well.
    and the music probably is original. not stolen copyrighted stuff like republicans usually have.

  48. DangerousLiberal says at 2:58 pm, September 17th, 2008

    MathewBrooks: This looks and sounds like one of those “Social Hygiene” movies from the fifties. But in living “color”!

  49. 4everjung says at 3:00 pm, September 17th, 2008

    That ad made me all happy until mean old Alan popped up in the end like some kind of librul stalker.

  50. Clancy_Pants says at 3:00 pm, September 17th, 2008

    She convinced me.. I think she be Mayor of Whatsiisilla

  51. must add: intrade is carrying mccain bullshit. an electoral map which is a sleazy, sneaky ad showing mccain winning. the thing is obama is now pulling ahead in the actual intrade market after being behind for about a week.

  52. Gopherit v2.0 says at 3:07 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Wow! She’s so spunky! I was waiting for Richard Gere to come in in his limo and take her away from her life of whoring!

  53. InsidiousTuna: hahaha that is teh funny!

  54. RadioFreeBabylon says at 3:14 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Putin is calling Ahmadinejad right now and they are sharing a hearty laugh.

    This can’t be good for the country, no matter how hard Frum, Hannity, Kristol and the rest of the lying dogs spin it. I think Fiorina said what she did yesterday to get off the surrogate trial and head back home. She’s got plenty of cash and doesn’t need to make this offensive defense any longer.

  55. V572625694 says at 3:17 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: S.Luggo: Well, I should’ve said, “pretty for a politician.” Because compared to, say, Dennis Hastert or Alan Greenspan — or that Fran Townsend hack our Wonkette was hot for a while back — Dana’n'Sarah are quite do-able, with or without their souls. De gustibus non disputandum and all that…

  56. natteringnaybob says at 4:05 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Still sounds like Stifler’s mom.

  57. wallythepug says at 4:16 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Not that I would know, but that actually sounds like 70’s porn music.

  58. RobPetrified says at 4:54 pm, September 17th, 2008

    The First Pitbull shall henceforth be known across this great land as Sarah Heath Palin.
    ‘Cause she’s such a rock solid feminist that she wouldn’t EVER give up her own name until instructed to do so by “Newt” Gingrich and her GOPAC overlords.
    Will she too take on the moniker of a reptile to match her demeanor?
    Stay tuned, boys and feminine Americans.

  59. seriesoftubescleaner says at 5:36 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Positively Unqualified

  60. sanantonerose says at 8:01 pm, September 17th, 2008

    Ohhhh oh, they say she’s got to go

    Go go waaaaaaaaaah-zilla!

    Ooooo!

  61. My internet is via some cable as slow as dialup and it put stops and pauses in the video. Which made it somewhat better. Because then, with the pauses, it was at least ironic.

  62. Supernatural_Delegate says at 11:41 pm, September 17th, 2008

    I think my comments are not working anymore…

  63. Snarkfest says at 1:20 am, September 18th, 2008

    Is she just.. a little… cross-eyed without the frames?
    Maybe it’s just a temporary thing- from staring down those red Ruskies every night.

  64. soggybottomboy says at 12:33 pm, September 18th, 2008

    Mmm… I bet her hair smells Pert Plus.

    How come you need TV ads in a town of 7,000 people?
