"Your name has been on a list with people like Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney -- does that translate to you being the future of the GOP?"
"Absolutely not necessarily."

Reading that before I saw it, I expected an ironic reading of the line, but no, she just sort of starts talking and then... blinks and pivots

Absolutely not necessarily!

!

damn palin never stops droppin gems on em

and apologies, in truth it's the opposite of blinking, in fact her eyes nearly pop out of her head as if her brain is exploding as she hears herself add the word 'necessarily'

ya but nbc gotta be pissed tho

palin was talking about it on the today show, maybe they hope this will inspire conservatives to stick with the tonight show even if the linda tripp jokes leave with leno

what a disaster for msnbc to cover

the main joke was pretty unfunny, but i found his 7 minute "apology" some of the best stuff I've seen him do in a long time. I loved his self-deprecating "we'll do anything for a laugh" shtick throughout the thing, as well as his poker face as the crowd roared at every one of the lame jokes when he repeated them. they really were way funnier in the context of the apology than they were the first time he told them.

imo guys like Dave and Conan are at their best when they give the impression that they are like mischievous barely-relevant trolls of the entertainment industry.

"impression"?! that's what they ARE!

WANNA BUY A MONKEY?

well, the great thing about '80s Dave: HE WAS.

you also don't see him open the show like this anymore:

man I miss Larry Bud

agree 100%, Morbius. I stayed up late to watch Dave whenever I could as a kid in the 80s. great clip btw - thx!

Dave was at his best on Late Night, maybe the last time anyone did something interesting with the standard talk show format.

Apologized to the Palins again, and for the joke! No balls.

yeah--pretty lame

yeah morbs otm

"again"? i haven't seen the second, but y'all thought the first patronizing dismissal was an apology?

someone please RIP Fidel Gastro

you want someone to kill me?

"jeff"?

rest in peace

you would like me dead too, Mr. Que?

RIP Fidel Gastro

i mean, how crazy are y';all?

i don't want someone to kill you, i'm just mourning your death, Fidel Gastro. RIP.

you didn't ask someone to "RIP" me, Que

no one wants to rip you

maybe ramón gastro will be more receptive to our interests

Do the mods know who jeff (lowercase, not upper) is a sock for?

i'm not a sock. it's just a bad joke. sorry :(

no one wants to rip you

ok bill o'reilly

gabb's pulling a palin--it was obviously a joke that jeff made hoping that someone would ban him

Ohmigod the post are coming from your house! DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!

no one's talking about death so get off your high horse and go back to whatever it is you do and stop being so obtuse.

also RIP Fidel Gastro

i'll pull sponsorship if you don't apologize to gabbneb about wishing to see him dead

i think my talk show can live without the support of Omar Little's Ice Cream Shoppe and Scone Emporium

y'all thought my first patronizing dismissal was an apology?

i withdraw my support for the mr que revue

and rip fidel gastro

jeff is the mr que revue?

what a disaster for gastro

jeff has been a valuable member of ILX for many years.

also RIP jeff

This is all thanks to our U.S. Military women and men putting their lives on the line for us to secure America's Right to Free Speech - in this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect.

does anyone know who jeff is a sock for???

PM me if you know who jeff is a sock for--valuable reward involved

hes a front for a group including the cia and the mob that wish 2 RIP fidel gastro
