Friday Funny: Can You See Sarah?
Written by: Tom Sawyer
A co-worker of mine read a funny story on an Internet forum. Check it out:
So I went down to GMU tonight with my girlfriend to watch a lecture by Mikhail Gorbachev. It was a good speech, he made some excellent points, etc. During the talk, every audience member was invited to write down an anonymous question for Gorbachev on an index card they had been given at the entrance. The ushers collected them as the speech was wrapping up, and then a Q&A session was held, using the audience’s questions.
They only had time for 5 or 6 questions, and out of an audience of about 500 people, mine was one of the ones picked. And that’s how it came to be that President Mikhail Gorbachev, last General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, was asked:
“Can you see Sarah Palin from your house?”
He answered (through the translator, of course) something along the lines of “Oh, yes, I loved her performance, she’s a great actress”.
So either Gorbachev thinks that a) she could not possibly be that stupid or b) Tina Fey is the real Sarah Palin and really I am perfectly happy with either option.
Props to GMU actually, because they were screening the questions. The old moderator dude was chuckling his ass off when his assistant handed him that batch of cards while Gorbachev was replying to a previous one.

I have a friend who has lived in Alaska for most of her life and she and her family along with the majority of Alaskans wouldn't find that amusing at all. They say she has made Alaska a much better place to live. Anyone who makes fun of Sarah Palin should watch clips of Joe Biden for awhile. If he was a republican the media would be having a field day. He's been around for a long time so he can't even use the excuse of being inexperienced or new to politics. What has he accomplished in his long and boring career? He's the the only funny thing in DC these days. Why don't we talk about him for awhile and leave Palin alone? Or is that politically incorrect?

Stay tuned. Biden has some issues too.
