Too funny to be real, or too real to be funny?

[UPDATE: turns out this one was actually too funny to be real...oh well, I can't tell reality from satire since McCain put Palin on his ticket, his soulmate and all that...apologies and how embarassing and all that.]

If too funny to be real, or too real to be funny is what you find yourself wondering about this whole Palin for VP thing, then you have got to read this. It is Todd Palin live blogging the debate (or as much as he could watch before being so bored he starts channel surfing!) and it includes gems like this:

9:30 - OK, got a little lost there. I think that energy independence is going to prevent people from going bankrupt? I never claimed to be as smart as Sarah, she is definitely the brains in the family. Sometimes I cant really follow what shes saying, its at such a high level I hardly understand a word.

...

9:36 - OK on to homos. I got nothing against em I guess. Sarah is even more open minded, in fact one of her best friends is a gay. But shes right, marriage is between a man and a woman. Or between a man or a woman and Jesus, I guess (if one of them is a priest or nun).

I have to sincerely thank Things Break for pointing that out.

Now I know why I have such a hard time understanding her answers to Katie Couric, "its at such a high level I hardly understand a word"!

(apologies for laughing at someone I don't even know, but this whole business is a real laugh or cry moment, and I'd rather not have anyone see me cry...)

As I sort of expected, Sarah Palin and Joe Biden both did kinda OK tonight. Biden had some good moments but was a bit too stodgy and senatorial. Palin was overly scripted, managed to avoid making too much of a word salad, and seemed to be trying too hard to be folksy. I don't feel like too many…
I really did not think I would live to see the day when a major political party in the U.S. would find it necessary to add a woman to the ticket in order to win the presidency. It's a shame I can't be at all happy about the particular party and woman making history. However, if you will recall, I…
President Obama it is. Cool. I wanted Hillary Clinton, but I'll take what I can get. And even though I'm one of those people who says things like, “If you're not cynical, you're not paying attention,” I confess to being moved by Obama's victory speech. Can he lead? Who knows? The braying…

Okay..I fell for it and didn't look around first. I can't tell reality from satire anymore, I give up.

I should have tagged it as "satire" instead of "humor". I actually had something about it being a spoof in my draft post but thought it was unnecessary as the rest of the "blog" is ridiculously over the top.

Sorry!

Boy howdy, time for you to buy a refurb satire sensor. This blog has been around since she announced, and it was fun for the first several posts to see how many people thought it was real. I haven't read the comments for a while, and I suppose a few still pop up, but I am a bit surprised that you thought this was fer real. You must be working too hard or something. rb

I am flat out on a business trip in Australia, I will use that as my excuse...It must be this Tasmanian fresh air or something!

The air or the beer? Either way, I'm envious. rb

Coby, you are excused. When SNL can lampoon Palin using her own words, it makes the line between satire and truth hard to recognize.
