I finally figured it out. Sarah Palin is Andy Kaufman. Almost had me, you kidder you!!

I had to stop watching it after about 1 minute in... If that's where you get after 10 years I think I'd better quit soon. Hope she's a better hunter than a flautist.

Funny you should mention it. Barney Frank has already gone on record with the opinion that John McCain is Andy Kaufman. Maybe it's like a surreal, avante garde czech film, and everyone in the McCain campaign is Andy Kaufman. Except if they're Pee Wee Herman.

He's been irrelevant to the process. He remains to be," said Frank. "I was afraid that his dropping in here, like Andy Kaufman's Mighty Mouse -- 'here I am to save the day' -- I thought that would slow things down.

Ah!!!!

I long for the days of Bill Clinton playing Sax on the Arsenio Hall Show!!!!!

That was really atrocious! Especially the part where she is about 1/2 step sharp (that would be most of it).

Long story I'll tell sometime - but I sometimes have had bad karma when sending flutes to Alaska. Now we all know why!

Any likelihood that some mean soul with protools could have de-tuned her playing before uploading the clip?

Yes, that would be Bill Clinton as well.

One commonly hears from conservatives about everything bad in the last 8 years
"Its all Clinton's Fault!"

UHM---We've seen her in a swim suit. We've seen her play the flute. I believe she came in second as Miss Alaska. Either there was some funny judging going on or it says something really scary about the talents and looks of the contestants who did not fare so well.

I mean...I don't mind the talent competition so much for the VP spot I guess.
But I don't relish the idea of Biden in a swimsuit! And what if Hillary had been nominated?!

This whole thing could get really ugly in a hurry.

but will it keep away witches?

At least she didn't say that FDR went on television when the Stock market crashed in 1929....That baffles me that anyone who ever took US history could make such a statement.

That's not a bad point. I've been trying out Melodyne and it's freaking
amazing what you can do with that program. I also noticed that the
sax in the band is pretty flat around 1:52.

As a person who's spent 35 years playing and listening to the flute and some 20 years producing music for radio and TV in professional recording studios, I feel pretty confident that's pure, unalloyed Sarah. Although TV audio is rarely the kindest and TV audio from the 80s wasn't much better than it was in the 60s, the audio quality here is merely an accomplice to the crime.

Just heard the video--that WAS an extremely painful listening experience....
