home in alaska on short notice and sounded like she might be announcing a very early run for president herself in 2012, then sounded like she might be announcing a run for a different office in alaska, maybe alaska senate for a while in the speech it sounded like she was going to make her re-election announcement, that she would stand for another term as alaska governor, but the speech took another term and she announced she wouldn t run for another term as governor, and then she was quitting right then that day, good-bye. it was very hard to figure out. it was hard to follow her logic. it was hard to follow the plot. but we now know, based on the fact that she never went back to work again, we now know that what she meant when she said this, what she meant by this was, i quit. though it may be tempting and more comfortable to keep your head down and plod along and
she didn t know about that one. aim okay? is it okay? cardinal, please speak to her. overall, it was a bad night for donald trump, but the al smith dinner, he did get booed and heckled, but that joke, that joke about his wife s plagiarism in her republican convention speech, that one really did go over great in the room. al franken thought it was a great joke, went over great in the room, everybody laughed. turns out that joke appears to itself be imagine plagiarized. this comic was done for roll call, the capitol hill newspaper. this summer michelle obama gives a speech and everybody loves it. but melania gives a speech word for word and everybody hates it. why the double standard? it s pretty much the exact same joke that trump told last night about plaj ar im.
please. please. i would not be the start of john mccain s concession speech on election night 2008, his crowd is arizona is booing every time he mentions senator obama, booing the idea that mccain is conceding. by the end, though, senator mccain has mostly gotten that under control, scattered boos. you notice the very end of that piece, the crowd starting to take a little turn at the end not to just booing obama but at the end there they started yelling sarah, sarah, sarah. we didn t know that night, but we know now after the fact that governor sarah palin actually wanted to give her own concession speech that night in 2008 and that s a thing that running mates don t do. but she apparently had a speech written. she thought for sure she was going to give her own concession. she would have her own moment in the spotlight, but the whole
idea apparently was definitively and firmly kiboshed by our own steve schmidt who told her, no, you you will not be speaking tonight. in the end sarah palin was not given a speech, but she was allowed to stand on stage while the presidential candidate himself, while senator mccain gave what was really a nice noble speech. and the crowd didn t necessarily receive it all that well. they still booed and hollered against senator obama a lot. at the beginning of the speech. even a little by the end. but that crowd had a totally different, totally opposite unforced positive reaction any time senator mccain mentioned his running mate. no wonder she thought she ought to be able to give a speech that night. i am also i am also, of course, very thankful to governor sarah palin, one of the best campaigners i ve ever seen.
saturday night live veteran al franken here. he complimented mr. trump in particular for one of trump s jokes that involved mr. trump talking about his wife. and senator franken is a guy who knows these things. this is what senator franken said was donald trump s best joke last height. you know, the president told me to stop whining, but i really have to say the media is even more biased this year than ever before. ever. you want the proof? michelle obama gives a speech, and everyone loves it. it s fantastic. they think she s absolutely great. my wife melania gives the exact same speech. and people get on her case. and i don t get it.
