Sarah Palin promising to silence SNL - link to SNL video

BRACE, BRACE, BRACE - You are about to crash into a conservative dictatorship. Free speech will be confined to the history books, then history books will be rewritten so that you never find out it ever existed.

I thought I was dreaming when she mentioned revoking the NBC broadcasting license for making fun of her. If this is a joke it is a sick one. She plays for keeps no?

Obama, or bust.

1. Well, fuck off Sarah Palin.
You can go back to Alaska for all I care and get indicted, kicked out, and thrown out on the street in the middle of nowhere.

Then what?

15. Stuff it in your ear Palin. You will be put in a padded cell because of that comment.

10. Why would even a stupid politician say this?

Sorry, I overreact sometimes, the W. speech on wishing he was in a dictatorship was much better.

Tomorrow we will wake up in a better world!

6. She really thinks she's funny. That was unbelievably unprofessional.
And seriously unfunny.

8. Yeah, Sarah...
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 05:17 PM by TwoSparkles
...after experiencing an out-of-control President who treated the Constitution like
a rag, and used the office of the Presidency to nearly destroy this country, dilute
our civil rights and make torture a national past time---that's really hilarious.

Most people in this country are sick to death by the abuses of power that have occurred
in the past eight years.

Reckless abuse of power just isn't that funny. Especially right now.

Does this woman have any common sense?

9. I'm no fan of Failin Pailin but...
This was a bit on SNL - probably written by SNL staffers - lighten up. Her only guilt is that she has the comedic delivery and timing of a turd.

12. Basically, unfunny sh*t...
I don't get conservative humor...so, basically it's funny because the caricature matches reality? (Remember she tried to get books banned???) This is almost as bad as that rip-off of the DailyShow that Faux News had (Half Hour News Hour)...it wasn't funny because they acted as themselves and thought that was funny! WTF?!? These people are not born with a humor gene, I swear.
