When Sarah Palin and Vladimir Putin discuss international relations by phone, it’s a magical, mystical meeting with the international language of music and vodka. Some often complain that late night or “Left leaning’ hosts are unfair to right wing political figures…And tonight should change their opinion, pronto! In a cleverly scripted sketch,Sarah Palin and Vladimir Putin – played by Jimmy Fallon, capture a lot of laughs, and promote Palin’s upcoming television show on Sportsman channel.
Stay tuned. To be fair – and we know they are ‘fair and balanced’ , Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity have invited President Obama to speak about the success of Obamacare, and current updates relative to the program. I don’t exactly have a day or a time, much less a year on this broadcast.
Meanwhile, lean back and let the duet wash over you, while Putin is advised: “You get those troops out of Ukraine right now!” Palin also informs him that wrestling a bear is one thing, but a mama grizzly quite another. Still, Sarah does the neighborly thing. When Vladimir hints that it would be nice if a neighbor could bring him some vodka, she hops across the border and hands it to him…She may save international relations for us – you betcha!
Many have asked who the Sarah Palin impersonator is in this clip. I can understand their confusion, because Tina Fey did her impression of Sarah Palin so well. It appears that she did it so well, that die hard Palin fans don’t recognize Sister Sarah! Let it be known that this impersonation of Sarah Palin is played by – Alaska native, Sarah ‘Barracuda’ Palin.
For someone who claims “I’m usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did.” She – and her Fox friends have been doing it at every opportunity. The woman who can see Russia from her house, believes she saw into the future. Palin is bragging on her Facebook page that she predicted that Russia would invade Ukraine if Barack Obama were elected President.
Palin’s conservative pals have a complicated relationship with Putin, often comparing him to Obama, and finding our own sane President lacking in mysterious ways, important only to the Tea Party crowd. Still, they’re ready to ignite their passion for cold war conflict with the former Soviet empire.Lest you believe Palin has the gift of second sight, ‘NewsCorpse’ anualyzed the oddity of it all.
However, the evidence of Palin’s alleged prophecy was a trifling passage from a campaign speech she gave in October of 2008. Although she was obviously reading from a TelePrompter a speech that was surely written for her by McCain staffers, the substance of her remarks fell somewhat short of the clairvoyance about which she is boasting. If you look beyond the brief reference to Russia, it is apparent that her prognostication skills are sorely lacking. Nevertheless, the right-wing media machine is in full distribution mode to hype this phony grab for undeserved credit. Everyone from the so-called mainstream, yet lie-riddled Fox Nation, to the wingnuttery of Breitbart News is regurgitating Palin’s boast. But the truth is readily available in her stump speech forecast (video below) that contained what she called the “Four Crisis Scenarios” that would accompany an Obama administration. It’s a bundle of wrongness that will be hard for future political fakers to exceed. Crisis Scenarios available here.
