How about that Sarah Palin? She hunts, stars in reality shows, weighs in on issues of the day, and, it turns out, loves a good penis joke at the president's expense.
With tensions rising in Libya and Egypt, the presidential race intensely close, and far too many Americans out of work, Palin lightened the national mood with a ribald twist on Teddy Roosevelt's quote about speaking softly and carrying a big stick.
See where this is going?
"America can’t afford any more 'leading from behind' in such a dangerous world," the woman who almost became our vice president said on her Facebook page. "We already know that President Obama likes to 'speak softly' to our enemies. If he doesn’t have a 'big stick' to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one."
Ding-dong! No pun intended. We'll leave those to the former Alaska governor.
And don't go saying it's wrong to make fun of the president's penis when our ambassador to Libya has just been killed. With perfect vaudevillian timing, Palin posted the gag before his death.
And left it up afterwards, because it's never too soon for the perfect zinger.
