It’s A Trill: Sarah Palin Plays The Flute In 1984

Writing your own punchline to this performance on flute by Sarah Palin at the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant ought to be a lot less queasy-making than it is here, but like artist like response, right? I don’t think Joe Biden has ever displayed his talents in quite such a fashion, but if he has, lord help us all. Although at least–and I say this as a native of Minnesota, mind you–we don’t have to suffer through that goddamn accent this time around. [via Gawker]

    I just wish this video had broke before Elisabeth Hasslebeck sounded off on Palin's presidential qualifications this morning. This would've totally shut that Barbara Walters right up!

    I was expecting something funnier.

    @Audif Jackson Winters III: I take you were thinking about this:



    I admit I was.

    Well a little bit of that. Also, it was just video of someone playing the flute. This has all the yuks of watching footage of a young Barry Obama brick a free throw in a high school hoops game.

    She's pretty far out of tune, and man, does that backing track do a lot of her work for her.

    So, with a McCain-Palin administration, we're going to all be listening to Mantovani?

    that's junior high level band literature that she's playing there, folks. so, after (as the video says) 10 years of playing, she's no better than your average eighth grade band student. ...and she thought this was her *best* talent? she couldn't do anything else above an eighth-grade level?

    Bloody hell! Absolutely unmusical. Totally out of tune. No evidence she can even give good head.
