Cleese no longer thinks Michael Palin is the funniest Palin. He thinks she’s a really brilliant, well-spoken parrot.

Campaigning in Virginia, Palin upbraided supporters who were only yelling out to ask her to speak more loudly. A little defensive, no? Luckily the First Dude was there, and he told her what was up.
Another questionable image claims to reveal the vice presidential candidate’s standardized IQ score. Prepare to have your worst conceptions reinforced! This somehow makes her performance on the SAT seem kind of impressive.
Politics Buzz An Alaskan legislative investigation found that Sarah Palin abused her power as governor in pressuring a commissioner to fire a state trooper who’d been married to her sister-in-law. But her firing of the same commissioner later wasn’t unlawful, said the lead investigator. My head is spinning from typing that.
And yet, she says she reads all of them. More embarrassment for Palin from her Couric interview.
Celebrity Buzz The newest rumor regarding the Republican V.P. candidate: Her perfect lipliner is tattooed on. With only a totally unverified rumor emailed to Wonkette and a series of close-ups to go on, the Huffington Post investigates the rumor. Lip tattoos seem incredibly painful.
Food Buzz A wine from Chile took a hit in sales after Sarah Palin became John McCain’s running mate. It was popular, though some people could detect notes of mooseburger.
Politics Buzz Trying to figure out the veep candidate using overlapping circles. Venn diagrams present the only way to find the logical overlap of Tina Fey and pitbulls with lipstick.
Politics Buzz In an effort to protect moose and caribou, the Alaskan governor has condoned the practice, in which volunteers chase wolves from above and shoot them after they’ve died of exhaustion. Palin unsuccessfully tried to have the state pay $150 for every slaughtered wolf, which was considered an “illegal use of bounty payments.” Also, it would make wearing this shirt in Alaska a huge bummer.
Politics Buzz While Sarah Palin is new to the arena of making public mistakes, Joe Biden is a practiced professional. Here are some highlights. Biden’s known to savor the taste of his own foot, and his career is littered with big public oops moments.
Politics Buzz Now that we’ve moved past the fact that Tina Fey looks like Sarah Palin, bloggers have taken the next natural step of casting the remaining characters in the fictional [albeit inevitable] biopic. Until someone is willing to help Joey Lawrence find the Fountain of Youth, good luck finding someone to do young papa and hearthtrob Levi Johnston’s hockey hair justice!
Politics Buzz The National Enquirer alleges Palin had a tryst with a former business associate of her husband’s. Palin’s team is considering legal action against the paper.
John McCain and Bristol Palin embraced on the tarmac today. It’s just one big happy family.
Alaska’s prettiest mayor ever has a vlog, and is ready to bring her message to the masses. Ok, so the video is really comedian Sara Benincasa, but learning about a vice presidential nominee’s policies has never been so funny. Expect this one to go viral, and fast.
A video from her days with Channel 2 Sports. This is long before her political career started, back when she was still unmarried (her last name was Heath) and when huge bangs were all the rage.
Politics Buzz As every American with access to 30 Rock and a blog has pointed out today, there is a slight visual similarity between comedy heart throb Tina Fey and Republican Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin. This is the last post today about Palin, I swear. See below for Tina Fey in action.
Politics Buzz McCain picked Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, as his running mate. A bold move! McCain can now safely count on those three electoral votes from Alaska. Palin’s a reformer who plays well to the cameras, but a state probe into her official conduct — she may have used her clout to fire her ex -brother-in-law from a state trooper’s position — could really backfire.
Politics Buzz Joe Biden’s son is Delaware’s Attorney General, but he’s also in the National Guard (and is headed to Iraq). Beau introduced his dad at the DNC last night, and his speech definitely tugged at the heartstrings. Hopefully, he didn’t inherit his father’s hair.
Politics Buzz McCain’s going to announce his running mate Friday; will it be the Texas senator? Her name keeps coming up as a possible alternative to Mitt Romney, though it’s a long shot.
Is “racist” Joe Biden the perfect compliment for the first black Presidential nominee? Obama is on the verge of announcing his running mate. Picking Biden would show that Obama is not all uptight and politically correct. I mean, how could white voters resist supporting a black candidate who laughs at racist jokes? It is the best of both worlds!
