Comedians Mourn Palin's Resignation
Candlelight Vigils Held
 |
Moments after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced her resignation from office, comedians from coast to coast held candlelight vigils to mourn what one comic called "a devastating loss."
"To say that we are heartbroken is a massive understatement," said Shecky Sheinbaum, a regular headliner at Cincinnati's Laugh Hut. "I feel like the chicken crossing the road has been run over by a truck before it gets to the other side."
Mr. Sheinbaum echoed the words of many comics when he said "the world of comedy has lost one of its greatest targets."
"We have gone though a rough couple of weeks," he said. "First Michael Jackson, now this."
As a staunch independent. Diehard liberal. Communist and hippie loving dude. I will miss Sarah Palin. I love her so much. She is just being a maverick here!
ReplyDeleteThis article made me laugh. It has such a serious tone about it, but at the same time, it is about comedy. I noticed shows such as Saturday Night Live always poked fun at Palin. Just because she is resigning doesn't mean they will stop. If she will be running for president, they will get the same amount of opportunities to get her, if not more.
