Palin Parodies

Hey everyone else is obsessed too and I'm just trying to lighten up your day a little bit. The bottom line is it's funny, it's pop culture, and it's politics so its on the front page.

First from e.politics -

We’re gonna watch because this guy can do what the Daily Show does, and so can a few million of the rest of us. Distributed satire equals people power! Bullshit is a powerful enemy well dug in, but by allowing the widespread creation and easy distribution of unfiltered content, the internet creates what may be a weapon of (political) mass destruction. Or, maybe I’m just being optimistic for once.


Colin also points the way to the Telegraph's (UK) top six parodies, I enjoyed MC Palin.

If you follow any of these links and poke around you'll see that Colin's right, everyone is jumping on this train. If we're lucky Al Gore will turn out to be right again and the internet will help change the way we gather and receive the news and it'll go from a one way message force fed to us in 30 second bites to a real conversation. At the very least it should be clear that the internet lets us shoot back with our own blurbs.

Here is one of my favorites from about 2 minutes of looking on you tube.



What have you found so far?
