Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's meteoric rise to fame from an obscure government official in a very cold place to a bona fide rock star known worldwide continues unabated.
Hollywood actress Gina Gershon took it upon herself to deliver an imitation of Palin for Funny or Die that has the VP candidate discussing education, the banning of books, global warming and senator McCain's decision-making process in anointing her as his running mate.
At the end of the parody, Gershon yanks her business suit off, grabs a shotgun and proceeds to do some hunting in a tiny bikini decorated with the American flag.
I can't wait to see what comes next.
