2) Hanson, apologizing for his scratchy voice: "I’ve been debating Sarah Palin for the past week."
3) Silverman: "I think Sarah Palin was very brave to come out against holocausts."
Downey: "I did that MONTHS ago."
Borowitz: "...

I’ve noticed I haven’t put much that’s positive on my blog and when this happened I thought it be fun to blog about. So anyway, it all started on Thanksgiving when my brother, my momma and I were all sitting around after dinner bored out of our minds. I finally had to do something and asked them if they wanted to see if the video store was open. My brother immediately said yes and my momma didn’t want to go. I’d been dieing to see Wall-E sin... more

Let me preface this with a caution. Andy Borowitz’s latest political lampoon is fresh off the press. If you get upset at the comedic mention of Bush, Obama, Biden, Palin, McCain, or any other national political figure, it is best that you stop reading now.
