Top Ten Questions To Ask Yourself Before Spending $63,000 On Dinner With Sarah Palin (VIDEO)

David Letterman took on Cathy Maples last night, a fan of Sarah Palin's who recently paid $63,500 to dine with the ex-governor. In his top ten list, Dave explored the questions a woman might ask herself before choosing to spend such a large amount of money like "Is tip included?" "Should we have dinner in Alaska or Russia?" and "Does [the dinner] have to be at the Denny's where Todd works?"

I really hope Beck and Palin run in 2012. It would be amazing to see them crumble.

As much as I would never vote for Sarah Palin, and as unqualified as I believe her to be for any national office (unless there was a Department of Huntin' and Skinnin'), Mrs Palin is probably quite a bit of fun to hang out with and share a few laughs. To be sure, we couldn't talk about politics, but I am sure that any number of her folksy "Tales From Wasilla" would be worth hearing. Of course, I'm a working man and couldn't afford it... but it would be fun no doubt.

Oh, and I am not ragging on Alaska in general nor Wasilla in particular.

Of course not. I can't think of any living person that I would spend that kind of money (if I had it to spare) to have dinner with.

Oh for pity sake.

David Letterman is/was funny.

Could this particular Top Ten have been a bit funnier?

Perhaps yes.

The fact is Sarah Palin is an under-educated, bible thumping ding-bat. She is too full of hubris to be even moderately aware of how unqualified she actually is. She is/was barely qualified to run the Governorship of the State of Alaska, and not one bit qualified to run anything involving our national political posts. The combination of ignorance and arrogance makes her a very dangerous political figure. The fact that there is as many narrow minded and uneducated/ignorant people ready to blindly line up behind her is somewhat disturbing.

She is a balloon full of hot air that needs to be pricked.

I'm just saying...

Dave, retire now and let us watch Ferguson an hour earlier. It's a win-win.

You can tell Letterman is infatuated with Palin. He just can't stop talkin about her.

As a G.I. professional, there are many available with no complications to gender reassignment patients.

[redhead61]

Really? Are YOU going in for gender reassignment sweetie?

I'd just give the money directly to the charity and skip eating with North-Slope Barbie.

Liars upset my delicate digestion.

As a G.I. professional, for indigestion, try Activia, should loosen up the balloon knot real good! Then, have your significant other crush Cialis with mortar & pestle, snort thrice hourly, results similar to Activia with a different delivery.

Truth or Parody?

10. Is Sarah going to show for this dinner?
9. Is Sarah going to wear a home-sewn coat made of wolf pelt to this dinner?
8. Is Sarah going to say she doesn't want to eat at the Olive Garden because "Eye-talian" is unAmerican.
7. Is Sarah going wear an RNC bought outfit forgetting that was to have been returned and auctioned off for charity?
6. Is she bringing her kids and their kids along to dinner?
5. Will she have a half-memorized Newt Gingrich article to interject into those lulls in the conversation?
4. Will Todd bore me with the details of how he built their house using just a hammer and some nails?
3. Do I have to have my chit-chat pre-screened by Sarah's handlers.
2. Will Piper adorably pull chewed-up meat out of her mouth and paste it on to her younger sibling's forehead?
1. Is Sarah going to abruptly go into labor and insist on flying home to Alaska because "You can't have a fish-picker from Alabama"?

A total waste of money. Why don't she just use the money as toilet paper? It would have been a lot more useful!

Wow. I laughed way more during this 1 minute top 10 list clip than I did the whole 1.5 hours that SNL was on last night.

David Letterman amuses me but seldom makes me laugh out loud as SNL occasionally does.

[hairyhuman]

09:48 AM on 09/28/2009

Then you're easily amused.
