Here’s Sarah Palin’s rambling Donald Trump endorsement set to music
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin lent her shrill voice of support to Donald Trump’s already grotesque campaign in Iowa this week, an event that was apparently important enough to warrant a massive amount of hyperbolic press coverage on network and cable television. ABC, for instance, referred to Palin’s endorsement of Trump as a “bombshell” rather than a “ghoulish footnote.” This time around, the internet might have been even more fascinated with John McCain’s erstwhile running mate than the mainstream media, judging by the sheer volume of Palin jokes circulating on Twitter. Meanwhile, over on SoundCloud, an account called Sam’s Cool Links has posted “The Impertinent Singing Palin,” a track that takes Palin’s enthusiastic but barely coherent speech and sets it to a tasty beat. The song’s creator has only one caveat: “I really hope this doesn’t count as a war crime.”
