Seems like some reporter here doesn’t much know how to transcribe Palinese: “And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.” It is spelled “Klingon,” as in, “Sarah Palin is a horribly mean space alien called a Klingon, and these are her Klingon friends.” This word is so much better than “Bitter.” So we’ll give this transcriber a free pass — BUT ONLY ONCE, SEE? Also: Jesus, did anyone understand any of that quote?? [CNN]

Still, you can sue for a “stolen” joke? Milton Berle is shaking in his boots while rolling in his grave. After the jump, a fun assignment! MORE »
