Americans Unhappy to Be Reminded That Sarah Palin Exists

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — A new poll released Thursday reveals that a broad majority of Americans describe themselves as “deeply unhappy” to have been reminded that the former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin exists.

Palin’s call for the impeachment of President Obama, a ploy to remind people that she still roams the earth, appears to have backfired, the poll shows.



With seventy-two per cent of respondents saying that they were “upset” or “very upset” to be reminded of her existence, Palin is one of three non-officeholders whose recent utterances have traumatized Americans.

According to the poll, eighty-one per cent were upset to be reminded that Ann Coulter exists, while a hundred per cent felt that way about the existence of the former Vice-President Dick Cheney.

And acts like it is as real as the Washington Post, or Faux NotNews - which it may be.

Shooting the fuzzies and trying to burn it all down.

Something tells me this ends badly for her. Perhaps in an epiphany? Sarah Palin has a terrible nightmare and wakes up as a hardcore progressive vegan?

Please, god. Help this to happen. A little justice, here.
