Sarah Palin, the former Governor of Alaska and failed candidate for Vice President of the United States in the 2008 election has announced that she is now leaving her job as Fox News contributor to concentrate on comedy.
Attending Jay Leno’s return to the Tonight Show, she was given a chance to try her hand at stand-up on comedy’s biggest stage. Most comedians have to spend years working their way up the ladder, paying their dues to get this spot and many do not make it. Some that do make it there bomb.
Not so for America’s Next Top Comedian. The former Governor nailed her routine as the audience reaction and laugh track showed. Some media pundits noted her ease in the new gig and her lack of visible notes on her hand aside from the opening gag.
Her comedy routine has catapulted her back into the spotlight with every cable news channel commenting on her performance (with mostly glowing reviews) and the Governor now feels that this is the best way for her to help America and Alaska.
Palin’s comedy routine gained her an invitation to perform at Zanies Comedy Club, which she has hinted at recently is her dream job.
Her latest job change was announced via memo with Palin’s spokeswoman Mehgan Stapleton on hand to answer questions.
Asked why Palin was quitting yet another job, Stapleton corrected the questioner by noting that, “Sarah Palin has always done what is right for the American people and the people of Alaska. She feels that if she were to continue as a Fox News contributor she would be handicapped by the liberal media in her attempt to help the American people.”
Stapleton added that, “Governor Palin could better help the lower 48 in her new role as a comedian. If they’re able to laugh, they’re able to forget about paying such high taxes and giving up their second amendment rights.”

Love the satire. Is Meg back on the payroll?
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone should tell Palin and her spokesperson that no matter what Sarah does, we all laugh. Usually it's accompanied by eyerolling and followed by vomiting (and occasionally cutting), but a laugh's a laugh to a true comedian, right?
