palin-300Sarah Palin says she’s going to play Tina Fey in an upcoming Las Vegas show.

Just kidding.

The former Republican vice presidential nominee turned into a standup comic on Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” Tuesday, dropping one-liners about the White House, Congress and Fey – the “Saturday Night Live” star known for her impression of the former Alaska governor.

Palin told Leno’s audience she planned to speak at a gun-rights convention: “Be there or else,” she warned them.

She said Alaska is different from California. In Los Angeles, “when people have a frozen look on their face, I find out it’s Botox.”

And she’s happy she’s not vice president. “I would not know what to do with all that free time,” she quipped.

In remarks taped for broadcast later Tuesday, Palin said the White House health care plan reminds her of acrobatic flips done by snowboard champion Shaun White. And she joked that it’s so cold in Alaska it’s “5 degrees below Congress’ approval rating.”

She had some fun at her own expense, too.

Palin became fodder for late-night TV jokes when she was spotted looking at notes written on her palm during a speech in Nashville. She said she picked up the habit years ago from her father, a teacher, and “I’m going to keep doing it.”

Earlier, she flashed her palm, which had “Good evening and welcome to ‘The Tonight Show’” written on it.

    She’s been a comedian for some time now. Finally, a job she might be good at. Just stay out of politics, please!

    • Roger Wilco says:

      Hey Thomas Jefferson, Being a comedian is much better than the circus act of clowns we have in office now. How’s that hope and change working? She is kicking all your butts. LOLOL

    roger,you are as ignorant as her!remember,george and uncle dick provided this mess for our whole country and the world to hate!

  3. Thomas Jefferson says:

    To Roger Wilco: The “Hope and Change” you refer to is working just fine, thank you. It’s not just that Ms. Palin is a conservative Republican, I could respect that even if I don’t agree. But she is ignorant! The US is still the most powerful nation on Earth, and I would hope that the electorate would want the smartest person they could get in that office. I didn’t like or vote for G.H.W. Bush (#41), but the man wasn’t stupid. Can’t say the same for his son. If you don’t want a Democrat in office, fine, vote for an elephant, but PLEASE find someone who has the mental capacity to head up this great nation of ours.

    Time to send Palin off to Canada so that the rest of us can stop threatening to move there:

    The Last Straw

    (satire)

    Don’t screw up the GOP by returning. Politics isn’t really your “cup of Tea” party anyway.

    How’s that hope and change working?
    _____________
    A perfect example of $arah’s juvenile jabbing, she sounds like delinquent deb…and YES, HOPE and CHANGE is working out just fine.

    I just heard a nickel fall to the ground, isn’t that $arah’s cue to start doing the shimmy?
