Daily Diversion / Presidential Politics / Silverman McCain and Palin! Live at the Blue Note!

Posted by Jack Silverman on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 11:23 AM

OK, their policy proposals may be whacked and their campaign may be floundering (or maybe not), but, wow, can John McCain and Sarah Palin carry a tune! And we're not talking "Three Blind Mice" here—we're talking Ella- and Satchmo-worthy off-the-cuff scatting. Considering how they've clearly been improvising on the campaign trail, I guess their vocal improvisation abilities shouldn't be all that surprising. Man, John and Sarah, y'all are some real gone cats. Swing daddy (and hockey mommy), swing! And check out this dynamic collaboration between Palin and Katie Couric, giving Monk and Coltrane a run for their money. h/t: NYC jazz pianist Henry Hey, for turning lemons into lemonade.

PALIN IN '09 (from VP to President!) AND 2012 "legit"
It's true that Sarah Palin does have the most executive experience
of all the candidates in this election. This experience includes
"spreading the wealth" (see: Alaska's Windfall Profits Tax),
"abuse of power" (see: Troopergate), "questionable expenditures"
(see: Family travel expenses, hair and wardrobe costs).
But let us not get caught up in the here and now.
Let us journey through the past darkly:
From Lil' Sarah Palin's 4th Grade portfolio:
DEMOCRATS = DEMOCRACY
As in "the democratically elected government of..."
REPUBLICANS = REPUBLIC
As in The People's Republic of China
The People's Republic of Cuba
I hope to grow up to: Live in a FREE Alaska and marry Joe Vogel,
the leader of the Alaskan Independence Party.
