Friday Fight: Who Is Worse For The Country Than Sarah Palin?

5:38 PM EDT on September 5, 2008

gabe:who is worse for the country
gabe:sarah palin or serena van der woodsen?
lindsay:Well definitely Palin.
gabe:no, i mean as president
gabe:just kidding
gabe:a serena van der woodsen presidency
gabe:though
gabe:would be something special
gabe:i mean, the world would end
gabe:but it would be so boring and cloying first!
lindsay:Blair is like her Cheney
gabe:serena van der woodsen is the worst
gabe:i think you're probably right that sarah palin is worse for the country
lindsay:I love that the fictional character you think is the worst has this really complicated name that you know how to spell by heart.

gabe:but i think that little girls looking up to sarah palin is better than little girls looking up to serena van der woodsen
gabe:i'm sorry, did i just BLOW YOUR MIND
lindsay:Well, that is probably true
lindsay:She has clearly passed on valuable in-a-pinch baby hair styling skills to her offspring.
lindsay:And she can protect them from wolves
gabe:as long as they're all in a plane together
gabe:chasing the wolf
gabe:they'll be safe
gabe:from that wolf
lindsay:why just wolves?
lindsay:why are they singled out?
lindsay:there should be a rule that you can do that, but you have to use a bow and arrow from the plane
gabe:or there should be a rule that you can't do that
gabe:that would also be a worthwhile rule
lindsay:I will say that when I first heard of it
lindsay:I thought that it sounded really fun
lindsay:I mean, with a robot instead of a wolf maybe?
lindsay:The zombie of one of the wolves killed by Sarah Palin in the past would be a better president.
gabe:well that is not true
gabe:maybe a better vice president
lindsay:Amy Poehler's character in Baby Mama.
lindsay:(which why isn't there a mashup yet with Palin as Tina Fey called Baby Gramma?)
gabe:who is worse for the country, sarah palin or kathy lee gifford?
lindsay:Actually I'm starting to like Kathie Lee Gifford but I've been afraid to tell you because I know you'll be mad.
lindsay:So Palin
gabe:i think they're dead even
gabe:i think they both are working hard to crush people beneath their feet to fill some kind of vaccuum in their terrible hearts
lindsay:You know who would have been a better than Palin?
lindsay:Cathy Geiss, Don Geiss's daughter on 30 Rock
lindsay:That's basically who she is anyway.
gabe:i don't think that a second tier side character from a sitcom should be the vice president of the united states
gabe:i know that's a controversial position
gabe:but i'm going on the record as having it
lindsay:until last week she was more famous!
gabe:again, that is not true
gabe:your belief in the popular embrace of second-tier 30 Rock side characters is way out of proportion with reality
lindsay:Maybe if mccain palin win, and something happens to mccain, and then something happens to palin, Tina Fey can be president like in the movie Dave!
lindsay:We've never been closer to the dream of Tina Fey for president!
gabe:i think you need to watch Dave again
gabe:and by watch Dave again
gabe:i mean read a book on how government works
lindsay:It works like the movie Dave.
lindsay:is it worse for the country
lindsay:or would be a worse president
lindsay:I guess I should have been clear on that by now
gabe:worse for the country
gabe:also you know she's not running for president, right?
lindsay:hahahahahahahaha
lindsay:yes
lindsay:ok, Sarah Palin or Russell Brand?
gabe:i don't think that russell brand
gabe:has explained himself to America
gabe:he's still an unknown
lindsay:He's explained himself enough to me.
gabe:?
gabe:that's not a position
lindsay:TWSS
gabe:he's explained himself enough to you for what?
lindsay:For me to not like him!
gabe:so you want to vote for sarah palin
gabe:that's what you're saying
gabe:you love sarah palin
lindsay:I am very curious about the moment when she takes off her glasses, lets down her hair, shakes it out and everyone gasps and says "Why, Ms-Ms Palin! You're beautiful!"
lindsay:All she needs is Anna Faris's character from The House Bunny
lindsay:Not that a bunch of nerds aren't already hate jerking off about her already.
lindsay:Sarah Palin or Al Roker
lindsay:Would you rather Sarah Palin be VP or have to spend a day of fun in the park with a frisbee with Al?
gabe:i would rather spend a day in the park with Al Roker than have Sarah Palin be vice president
gabe:al roker is too mediocre to do any serious damage to the american way of life
gabe:he lacks the strength of conviction to do anything other than make awkward jokes and miss the point
gabe:all the time
gabe:always missing the point, that one
lindsay:He just wants to be loved and accepted.
lindsay:He's just a little boy who wants love.
lindsay:And instead you're mean to him
gabe:al roker is the reason george bush has been president for 8 years
gabe:it's that same "aw shucks, at least he's trying" attitude towards people in position of power and influence that is destroying this country
lindsay:I would hardly call George Bush a person in a position of power and influence!
lindsay:(see what I did there?)
gabe:that's stupid, don't say stupid things
gabe:say smart things
gabe:you're a smart lady
lindsay:I started to say al roker
lindsay:anyway
lindsay:nevermind
lindsay:you don't understand my subversive comedy
gabe:OK
gabe:i'm sorry i don't get your comedy
gabe:all joking aside, sarah palin is the worst
lindsay:Well, what about the speech-slurring skelator in the room?
lindsay:Cindy McCain?
lindsay:She would be so much worse
gabe:well
gabe:i mean, joe francis would make a terrible president, too
gabe:but cindy mccain's not actually running for anything
gabe:other than grim reaper
gabe:her campaign for grim reaper is going strong
gabe:she's 17 points ahead of harry dean stanton
lindsay:If palin is VP, mccain should stay really far away from the grim reaper
lindsay:Joe Francis is the One
lindsay:he's the One Who Is Worse
gabe:i think cindy mccain prefers to reap the souls of orphans and wastrels
gabe:joe francis and sarah palin in 2012
gabe:putting the nightmare back in washinightmaregton
