Why do Sarah Palin’s tv sets malfunction like that?
From The New York Times “Caucus Blog”:
It turns out Ms. Palin missed the full experience of watching Mr. McCain on “Saturday Night Live.†She boarded her charter plane at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, just on time to watch the show, an aide said, but the audio on her television wasn’t working.
Unfortunately I didn’t note the “sound wasn’t on” defense when Sarah Palin first saw Tina Fey’s impression on Saturday Night Live — instead going to the equally unbelievable statement that she once dressed up as Tina Fey. But the first time she had a decent enough reason to make that lie about watching the visual humor without hearing her — you have to acknowledge that pop cultural effect without the damaging implications of the impression. But between now and this last time, she has actually been side by side with Tina Fey in a Saturday Night Live sketch. What is the point in pretending that she cannot hear Tina Fey now?
