Topics Covered
Gershon's parody touches on several of the stories and controversies that have surrounded Palin since her selection as John McCain's running mate. These include Palin's having attended five colleges; allegations that she intended to ban library books as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska; her skepticism of global warming; and McCain's reportedly hasty selection of her, without thorough vetting.The piece ends with a portrayal of Palin's widely reported hunting prowess—Gershon strips to a stars-and-stripes bikini and fires off a pump-action shotgun. An announcer delivers the tag line, "Sarah Palin: If she shoots you in the face, she was aiming for it," in reference to Dick Cheney's hunting mishap of February 2006.
