Sarah Palin Goes For One Last, Sexy ‘South Park’ Score

This may replace holograms as Election Night’s most stunning TV accomplishment: While the rest of us were recognising the historic evening with a drink or 20, the South Park foremen cranked their assembly line into perversely high gear with animated snippets from both Barack Obama and John McCain’s campaign-ending speeches. And as we should have figured, their statesmanship was simply a means to a lucrative, criminal end at a drunken nation’s expense. Leave it to Trey Parker and Matt Stone to squelch our hard-earned hope that a new era is upon us — or at least that the geography-deficient divazilla Sarah Palin may yet take that long, much-deserved hiatus from our television screens. At least she’s wearing leather this time around; that is change we can believe in. It’s after the jump.
