Doug Stanhope on Sarah Palin

Filed Under Satire, Stand-Up Comedy

There talk out there of how late night comics are treading lightly with Republican Vice Presidental nominee Sarah Palin and her personal life. But not Doug Stanhope. He already had a couple of strongly personal jokes about her even before that news.

Here are the new blunt and brutal jokes he shared with a Oslo, Norway crowd only a couple of days after her candidacy was announced.

Stanhope originally planned to run for President in 2008 as a Libertarian, but withdrew after he discovered he could not make a living at his shows and use them as political events. Despite having to compromise on his candidacy, he has certainly not compromised his comedy.
