Sister Mary Moosenuggets gives a shout out to Billy Graham on his 96th birthday.


I actually was not going to address this video as it does not have much of anything to do with politics. However it does deal with Palin and her phony religious convictions, so that is certainly in my wheelhouse.

Do not expect a transcript as this thing is so convoluted and impossible to follow that it would take me an hour and I would end up with a splitting headache.

The first thing I noticed is that Palin was dressed as if she had suddenly been accepted into the nunnery. Gone are the sparkly shirts and fake cleavage, and instead she is wearing what looks like a minister's robe or a table cloth from a Black Mass.

Hard to tell really.

Palin essentially gushes over Billy Graham for a little over six minutes, telling us how honored she was to have attended his 95th birthday..


..seen above, and how her mother came to become a follower of his.  (Though in this newer version she explains that her mother saw his message on television, and in the original version I do believe she suggested that Sally had seen him in person.)

Palin explains that her mother became enamored with Graham during the time that she refers to as the "Jesus Era" of the seventies, which is a sanitized memory of what we all called the era of the "Jesus Freaks."

What makes this video interesting, in an "Oh my God there is a four car pileup on the highway" kind of way, is that Palin is clearly working without a script, and her meanderings are essentially a stream of consciousness look into how her brain misfires and jumps from topic to topic like a frog in a frying pan.

All in all it is incredibly bizarre and in some ways a little disturbing. But then again what about Sarah Palin is not both of those things?

P.S. Oh I almost forgot that in the early part of the video the person behind the camera kept adjusting it up and down in an attempt to frame her in the shot without cutting off the top of her head. Which makes me think that either it was a drunken Todd or Bristol behind the camera.
