Sarah 'The Quitter' Palin's Tonight Show Interview Was Edited To Make Her Look Better?

[romantico]

Just another reason why I hate Jay Leno.

"And while NBC Sold Palin, she sold her body, jiggling, teasing, pushing the cutesy-pie, what we used to call in the military, a "****tease." She short circuits brains, deflects the fact that most of what she says is nonsense or hateful, as lizard layers of right wing men's brains hum a sexual fantasy tune, and women who have thrown all sense of propriety to the wind, watching her strip, want to be just like her. Rich. Stupid. The sweet "Bite Me" bitch attitude she's honed to an art form. No, she doesn't just "wink" - she uses her whole body to sell the package. Turn off the sound, just watch her body language. I find it whorish, repulsive, and I'm no prude.

They added laughter where there was none during uncomfortable portions. Well, there was some laughter. Mine, of derision. During those pregnant pauses in her performance I was laughing long and loud, couldn't help myself as much of what she was saying was utterly surreal, ridiculous, hypocritical - nonsense, spewed platitudes, pushed buttons. I was seriously thinking of leaving as it was getting hysterically unfunny.

After sitting through the taping of the show in the studio I can recount many portions where there was little or no laughter or response, but at the later broadcast they are smoothed over with applause and laughter that WERE NOT THERE at the taping. Groans, hoots, grumbling, or just dead silence - all missing.

They should bear some responsibilty for hawking a defective product. This is corporate shilling in the worst way, not only to raise Leno's ratings, but to push Palin on a crowd with fake laughter and applause. The applause sign is one thing, an American institution. But INSERTING Laughter for Sarah Palin? Try to realize that while you may be laughing at the things she says, because she's a train wreck, the corporate powers that be are ADJUSTING the laughter so it appears APPROPRIATE. I worked in a mental institution. The very basic definition of insanity is "inappropriate laughter" WHO decides what's "appropriate?" Apparently, corporations. Not you. The Tonight Show is a lie, more than ever a corporate shill that's performing a cultural engineering service. Selling garbage, that is literally ruinous to our nation and women's rights.

1. More of that WINKING Hussy, pretending she's going to sit on the Mens' laps!!!

Somebody needs to explain to her why people don't usually wink at one another when they are about something that is important.

[malaise]

2. I didn't see either Palin or Leno

Obama could be on Leno and I still won't watch. Fuck Leno and Palin

[romantico]

4. This

This needs to get out. Figures it would come out on a Friday Afternoon. Hope the media grabs hold of this. Needs to be proven first.Would love to hear from other audience members who were there.

9. Oh I agree with you

It is important to expose those frauds, but after the Leno v Conan fiasco, I'll never watch that scumbag again.

11. I imagine Jon Stewart will have something to say about it. /nt

3. Symbolman and Julie are my most favorite couple EVER!

Their account of sister Sarah's appearance is hilarious! I thought it was just a stacked audience! Too funny that they were waving their book at her...I bought a bunch of copies of it and gave them away at Christmas.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

5. watched 1.5 minutes online.....

6. She has made her life into a walking lap dance.

7. Seems like par for the course to me

I don't see how this is special or interesting. It's television, folks . . . of course it's sugar-coated, manipulated, and twisted into a not-so-accurate version of reality. I highly doubt this was the first time a guest has received help in the editing room after a late-night appearance.

8. I honestly didn't think

I could have a lower opinion of Leno (after the Conan slaughter).

Now, he's promoting Palin? Fuck him. For a man who excelled at self promotion over the years, I can't help but question his current mental state. He seems to be hell bent on making a shitload of new enemies.

10. Everything about $arah is false and phony.

In this way, she is exactly like bush. Everything from his "ranch" to his accent to his Iraq turkey was fake. $arah is just the same. Since people like these appeal only to simple-minded conservatives, the focus on surfaces rather than substance is automatic.
