"World's Ending Anyway..."

Mary Walsh is a Canadian comedian who's created a running bit out of ambushing Canadian politicians as her character, Marg Delahunte. She recently tried this with Sarah Palin during a book signing. I say again -- Palin is a flesh-and-blood incarnation of Martin Sheen's President Gregg Stillson in David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone.

You're right Jeff, and as I mentioned before, Todd Palin is Stillson's creepy sidekick Sonny Elliman (played by Geza Kovacs).

I live in Canada and this chick is an embarrassment. Her stuff is always about as funny as this video.

You know, the comedy in "ambush comedy" usually comes from being funny, as opposed to the "ambush" aspect of it.

Jeff, according to Wikipedia, it's actually "Delahunty".

I think that the comedy part of it is that Palin has no real insight into how things are done in Canada. Then again, as a Canadian, neither do I. I just know that I don't pay a ton every time I break a bone.

"I think that the comedy part of it is that Palin has no real insight into how things are done in Canada."

If you ask a vague question, of course you get a vague answer. I'm not saying that Palin *does* have any more depth than that, but Delahunty managed to expose nothing of Palin's insight because her question was so terrible.
