AKA – stuff you literally could not make up.

“The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man,” the real Trump told his Garden State crowd on . “He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me, I'm about to have a friend for dinner' as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I'm about to have a friend for dinner.' But Hannibal Lecter, congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter.”

Summer of Trump Cold Open - SNL

Note - at 3:20 another "rust" in the making. It's the way she holds her trigger finger on the Glock.

SNL skit -- i bet you still believe palin said she could see russia from her house

I believe she said it.

And if that's true, I believe she was being honest, in her dreams.

Honesty and sincerity are subjective, which means shit, for whatever it's worth.

I still stand by and rely on the premise that reality is not subjective. It is what it is and is true only if it can be supported with evidence, facts.

It's really not your weekend for facts -

Did Sarah Palin Say: 'I Can See Russia from My House'?
2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin did not say 'I can see Russia from my house.' That line originated with an SNL spoof.

Charles Gibson asked her what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, and she responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska"

Okay, now I know that I can count on you to correct me.

I'm okay with that, since none of us are perfectly informed.

Are you okay if I correct you sometimes?

It's true that Russia can be seen from an island off Alaska. I think it's the mountains of Kamchatka.

I think it's St. Lawrence Island, an Island in the Bering Sea. But as you know, my research is flawed and I can't read anyway.

===============================================

I think the question and answer should have been about Canada. We can drive and visit there, and for whatever it's worth they have more influence.

Regardless, Palin is an idiot who embarrassed Alaska. Up north we called her the "former half-governor" because she bailed on the job halfway through her first term.

I think it's good to be humbled every now and then. Might as well take it gracefully.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter Responds to Trump
Dr. Hannibal Lecter is angry that Trump mentioned his name in a recent campaign speech...and it ain't smart to piss off Hannibal Lecter...

Read the comments below the video

So, we have learned, Sarah Palin did NOT say she could see Russia from her house. We also learned that Democrats still like to pretend she did. She did say, correctly, that some parts of Russia could be seen from land in Alaska. It would be great to see a debate featuring Kamala Harris and Sarah Palin. What a matchup! Regards, Bill.

Sarah Palin said a lot of really dumb stuff, so much it was hard to keep up with, and so much that we came to accept that everything she said was dumb, and we quit listening to her.

That's why it was like something she would say - that she could see Russia from her house.

So, as a courtesy to Jeffee here's a bunch of Sarah Palin quotes for him to fact check.

Dec. 23, 2014, 11:30 AM EST / Updated Dec. 23, 2014, 2:39 PM EST
By Anna Brand, Anna Brand
From declaring that President Obama wears mom jeans to the moment she said we should all bless the haters, former Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin really outdid herself with head-turning quotes in 2014. Here are the top 9:

1. The time she decided Putin wrestles bears and Obama wears mom jeans

During a March interview with Fox News, Palin – in her own, quirky way – moved the conversation forward, calling out bizarre distinctions between Obama and Russia President Vladimir Putin.

Sound bite: “People are looking at Putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. They look at our president as one who wears mom jeans,” Palin said “Anyone who carries the commonsense gene would know that Putin doesn’t change his stripes,” she said. “He wants to exert huge power and dominance, so he has to get to those border areas and he has to capture them.”

2. The time she sort of quoted Dr. Seuss

Following in the footsteps of Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who read from Dr. Seuss during his 21-hour filibuster in 2013, Palin brought out a copy of “Green Eggs & Ham” to the stage during her keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside of Washington, D.C.

Sound bite: “I do not like this Uncle Sam. I do not like his health care scam. I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books. I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their crony deals,” she continued. “I do not like this spying man. I do not like ‘oh yes we can.’ I do not like this spending spree. We’re smart, we know there’s nothing free. I do not like reporters’ smug replies when I complain about their lies. I do not like this kind of hope, and we won’t take it, nope, nope, nope.”

3. The time she said being a grandma might turn Hillary Clinton conservative

Palin said in May that Hillary Clinton, a much-speculated 2016 candidate, might “open her eyes” on abortion thanks to her daughter Chelsea Clinton’s pregnancy, which she expects will “broaden her world view.” Hillary has since become a grandmother.

Sound bite: “I think anyone who is a grandparent really starts looking further down the road. We start thinking about things like $17 trillion dollar debt that our nation is under and what we’re going to hand that to our grandkids for them to pay off,” she said. “That’s not fair to our grandkids. Hopefully, she’ll start thinking along those terms, too.”

4. The time she thought drinking Diet Dr. Pepper was the Ice Bucket Challenge

Palin thought drinking a glass of the diet soda would suffice. It didn't.

Sound bite: "C'mon, at this stage of my life, in my career, aren't I a little too prim and proper for all that ice bucket water dumping?"

5. The time she said let's all bless the haters

The former Republican nominee for vice president and all-around pot stirrer, dropped a big, vague hint in October, saying she “hopefully” will run for office again “in the future."

Sound bite: “Hey, the more they’re pouring it on, the more I’m going to bug the crap out of them by being out there, with a voice, with the message, Hopefully running for office in the future too ... Bless their hearts, those haters out there. They don’t understand that it invigorates me. It wants me to get out there and defend the innocent,” she said. “It makes me want to work so hard for justice in this country!”

6. The time her family got into a bloody, shirtless drunken brawl

A 24-page police report released in October includes a white stretch limo, two birthday parties, three intoxicated Palin children, two separate fights, and neighbors who barked “f— The Palins” while Todd, the family patriarch, was lying on the ground.

Sound bite: No sound bite. No one reportedly listened to her when she tried to intervene in Bristol’s defense and was sitting safely inside her white stretch limo when police arrived, according to the report.

7. The time she was stopped for speeding, which she called "qualifying"

Palin was reportedly pulled over in July for speeding in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. She was allegedly driving her Toyota Tundra at 63 mph in a 45 mph zone. Although Palin accepted her speeding $154 ticket without a fuss, she gave TMZ a unique explanation for why she exceeded the limit.

Sound bite: “I wasn’t speeding, I was qualifying."

8. The time she declared that gun-free zones are ‘stupid on steroids’

Back in April, Palin rallied thousands at the annual NRA meeting in Indianapolis Saturday night, saying that creating gun-free zone schools and other public buildings is “stupid on steroids.”

Sound bite: “Maybe our kids could be defended against criminals on the spot if more Mama Grizzlies carried [guns]. And [the] Obama administration wants you ID’d for that? Well, then go ahead and carry a sign too. A sign that says ‘Yeah, I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.’”

At the same event, she took a hawkish approach to national security, saying that current counter-terrorism efforts “coddle adversaries.”

Sound bite: "Come on. Enemies, who would utterly annihilate America, they who’d obviously have information on plots, to carry out Jihad. Oh, but you can’t offend them, can’t make them feel uncomfortable, not even a smidgen. Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we’d baptize terrorists.”

9. The time she launched a digital channel dedicated to herself

The Sarah Palin Channel was launched as an alternative to the news media she famously dubbed the ‘lamestream media.’

Sound bite: “Are you tired of the media filters? Well, I am! I always have been. So we’re going to do something about it. Together, we’ll go beyond the sound bites and cut through the media’s politically correct filter.”
