Katie Couric thinks Sarah Palin’s just as bad at naming her kids as the rest of us, apparently. Check out the clip above in which Katie does a run through of the day’s news, specifically a story talking about Sarah and her husband Todd’s wedding anniversary, when she blurts out “Where the hell did they get these names?!” (right at the 1:14 mark.) While she retrains herself from saying much more, it’s kind of hilarious to see Katie Couric break from the news just to be all like, “WTF???”

I mean, she’s right, Track? Trig? Bristol? I was unaware that Alaska had that good herb.

I hope you’re all getting into some debauchery tonight. Like I said earlier, it’s the one night of the year when you can dress like a slut, a freak, or a creep, and people won’t think you’re insane or hold you accountable. It’s just like living in Hollywood.

Celebs are taking advantage of the same opportunity. Katie Couric was spotted sporting this year’s ubiquitous Kate Gosselin costume while the hosts of the Today Show went the Luke & Leia route. Fashion designer Michael Kors dressed in a detailed hippie costume while designer Valentino (above) dressed up as an Oompah Loompah. Oh wait… that’s not a costume.

Would someone please tell me what the hell Martha Stewart and Mickey Rourke are supposed to be? I tried to figure out their costumes, but the best I could come up with was “tree trunk” and “Mickey Rourke.”

Here’s the latest segment in the Palin/Couric interview series.

Thoughts?

Tina rocks it again on last night’s SNL in a parody of the Katie Couric interview.

I know there’s been a lot of posts on this website lately that seem to be poking fun of the McCain/Palin campaign. I know some people have a problem with it. And I know some people think I should come out and say where I stand on this election.

This is not a partisan website, nor is it on its way to becoming a partisan website.

I’ve been talking about John McCain and Sarah Palin frequently because they’re the ones who have been fun to talk about lately. They are the ones who have been making choices and taking actions and giving interviews that are, frankly, amusing and broadly newsworthy, in one way or another. It’s not that Barack Obama hasn’t been doing things this month, it’s just that he hasn’t been doing very interesting things. He hasn’t been newsworthy.

And I find that fascinating.

Six months ago, we all figured that Barack Obama would be the interesting candidate right now. That his campaign would be exciting. That we’d be hearing his words and his ideas and incessantly discussing his actions here, a month before the election. We thought, if nothing else, that Barack Obama would have the buzz. That there was no way an old white dude with zero skill as an orator could run a campaign anywhere near as enthralling — as attention-grabbing — as Barack Obama.

We figured wrong.

We, as a nation, have been talking entirely about the John McCain campaign for the past month, and all signs indicate that we’ll be talking entirely about the John McCain campaign in the next month.

Take a step back and think about it.

How the fuck did he pull that shit off?

It’s been brilliant. Phenomenal. And if what you’re looking for is a leader with the experience, the team and the finesse to think outside the box and execute risky choices that tilt the axis of history in unexpected ways … well, folks, that’s exactly what John McCain is doing right now.

I’m just saying.

For the sake of non-partisanship, here’s a video of Sarah Palin making an ass of herself for Katie Couric. And if John McCain dies while in office, this creature becomes the most powerful human being on the planet. I’m just saying.

Here’s some video of Katie Couric goofing around and mocking Dan Rather before she begins taping a segment.

The video she’s mocking is below.
