I usually don't like prank calls, but that call to Palin was hysterical. She was so full of herself that she just couldn't pick up on all the over-the-top sarcasm those guys were throwing her way. "I just love killing those animals. Mm, mm. Take away a life, that is so fun!... I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler's Nailin Palin." How could anybody think lines like that were serious? And she had no sense of humor at all, the way she had her aide basically hang up on the guys. I think somebody probably got fired up in Alaska there. Now she knows how McCain must have felt when he found out his people hadn't vetted her properly.
Now that so many investment banks on Wall St. have vanished, there will be plenty of available spaces at Clown University.
