Political Spoofs

Sarah Palin Parodied by Sara Benincasa

Sarah Palin is already being parodied, as seen in this example by comedian Sara Benincasa. The enclosed parody of Sarah Palin profiles her first vlog. “An older gentleman called me...”

She is coached by her off-camera buddy, cousin Dina, who also did her make up.

“Big Daddy” that’s what they call him. They discuss what a vice president does comparing it to being an alderman. A debate ensues whether her stint as dog-catcher was voluntary or she was just stealing dogs.

I can’t wait for more. Benincasa has Palin nailed!
