Top 10 Sarah Palin Spoofs
How on earth did YouTube get by before Alaska governor Sarah Palin was tapped as the Republican vice-presidential candidate? Her public performances and spoofs of those performances have filled gigabytes of video space ever since. TIME surveys the cream of the crop
Just two days after John McCain introduced Sarah Palin to the world, New York comedian Sara Benincasa created a video mocking the Alaska governor as an adorably inexperienced and unwitting hockey mom, complete with a Fargo-esque accent and a hilarious retelling of how she came to be "Big Daddy's" running mate: "It's a funny story. An older gentleman called me on the phone and said, 'My friend, I would like you to be my vice-presidential running mate.' And I said, 'Who is this?' "
Even more hilarious is the off-camera presence of Palin's campaign manger/makeup artist/personal stylist/eating coach/gun cleaner/La Leche League liason/cousin Dina Heath-Barr, who continually foils the rookie candidate by interrupting and contradicting her monologue ("You were an alderman ... You were a dogcatcher too, weren't ya? ... I think you've got to be elected to be a dogcatcher ... I think you just kidnapped some dogs, is what you did.")
