Palin pokes fun at herself at journalists' dinner

[RamboLiberal]

WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin poked fun at herself in a speech to journalists Saturday night, drawing laughter when she announced she "came down from my hotel room and I could see the Russian embassy."

The 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate also joked that she had orginally thought of titling her book "How To Look Like a Million Bucks For Only $150,000" before settling on "Going Rogue." In one of the controversies surrounding her candidacy, the campaign spent about $150,000 on her wardrobe.

If the election had turned out differently, she said, "I could be the one overseeing the signing of bailout checks and Vice President Biden could be on the road selling his book, 'Going Rogaine.'" Biden has sparse hair.

As for her hosts, she said she was glad to be appearing before an elite audience of leading intellectuals, "or as I like to call it, a death panel."

Focusing on criticism she has received from Steve Schmidt, a senior strategist in McCain's presidential campaign, she said, "If I need a bald campaign manager I guess I'm left with James Carville," a Democrat.

1. Joe's got more talent in one hairplug than you do in your entire body, Sarah.

And you'd do well to remember that.

3. Is this the deal? She's just a fucking stand-up comic reading one-liners from some hack writers?

4. And not all that funny, unless she's talking about herself.

We can wish, can't we? :D

6. Someone hired her a comedy writer. Must be planning for 2012.

Wonder who's deep pockets are paying for this.

A comedy writer to make her more endearing. More humane, maybe, and less whiny.

She must be trying to reach beyond the fools she's been foolin' with .......

7. I see where she's mocking others... I'm missing the "poking fun at herself" part.

I'd expect no more from an egomaniac.

8. I was at the store today, in the book section...

I was at the store today, in the book section and was glad to see that they are charging more for Sen. Kennedy's book than they are for palins. Oh yeah, when I put Sen. Kennedy's book back on the shelf, I may have covered up palins book with it by accident.

9. Sarah Palin doesn't need writers to be funny because she is a joke

She should have made fun of the fact that her youngest child was "autistic" during her run for VP, and that now her child is "down syndrome symptomatic"....
