Decked out in an
American flag bikini and wielding a musket, lesbian film
icon and Bound star Gina Gershon teamed up with
spoof website Funny or
Die to skewer vice presidential nominee Sarah
Palin.
Gershon, who is
known for her outspoken criticism of the Bush
administration, nails Palin's accent and mannerisms
as she explains away the banning of books, her lack of
experience, and John McCain's decision to add
her to the ticket after meeting with her just once.
Among
Gershon's diatribes: blaming her banning of the book
Are You There God, It's Me Margaret? on
the fact that the title even bothers to ask the
question.
Later, she
suggests global warming is a sham because "every morning I
open my door in Anchorage and it is freezing. End of
experiment."
Gershon's
political spoof comes just a month after Funny or Die and
Paris Hilton teamed up to respond to McCain's
accusations that Barack Obama is a victim of his own
fame, likening him to the celebutante and pop star
Britney Spears. (The Advocate)
