Funny or Die has a clip of Gina Gershon as Sarah Palin addressing the “issues” surrounding her nomination for Vice President. It’s pretty awesome, although making fun of Sarah Palin isn’t really that hard. Kinda like how making fun of retarded kids or fat people isn’t hard. The fact of the matter is that Sarah Palin is a fucking moron. But like Homer Simpson once said, “Facts are meaningless. You could use “facts” to prove anything that’s even remotely true.” I figure that’s probably going to be the crux of the entire McCain-Palin campaign. Also, “I don’t have to be careful — I’ve got a gun!” and “Remember, as far as anyone knows, we’re a nice normal family.”

It pains me to say this, but Funny or Die’s Paris Hilton mock campaign ad is really funny. In response to the John McCain ad that used her image as a reference for Barack Obama’s “celebrity” status, several clever writers put together a wittily self-effacing response for Paris to parrot back to the cameras. God knows she could never come up with something that funny herself. Left to her own devices, it’d just be footage of her making “sexy” faces into the camera and blowing air kisses into a three way mirror. I’d rather watch Mario Cantone read the Physician’s Desk Reference aloud in a g-string and ladies’ sunhat.
