Billy Connolly and Sarah Palin.
November 2, 2008
Yes, I know, I’m probably having rather too much fun at Sarah’s expense, now, but with a bit of luck this kind of humour will be past its sell-by-date within a couple of days — so I’m using it whilst I can.
It’s a Sunday and as those of you who actually pay attention will know, I’m not exactly the type to do church. My head spins round and I vomit pea soup at the mere thought of it. So, instead, I spent the morning productively.
No, I didn’t work on the outlines for The Dummy. That’s for weekdays. Instead, I concentrated on that other dummy, sweet, succulent, sycophantic Sarah. First I found the Sarkozy episode and then, later, this piece from a couple of months back.
Mention of George W. Bush’s similar problem then brought to mind a Billy Connolly piece that I particularly enjoyed.

I can just see Billy playing a 21st Century Henry Higgins to Sarah Palin’s Eliza Dolittle in a really bizarre and possibly quite disturbing version of Pygmalion.
“It’s fucking nuclear, you brick!”

Oh dear. Sarah Palin gets reeled in by quite possibly the worst French accent (and the guy was from Montréal?!) since Peter Sellers had trouble with that dratted “minkey” in the Pink Panther movies.
