Ben Greenman shines a harsh musical light on the scenes behind the sudden, miraculous nomination of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin…
(JOHN McCAIN is meeting with CHARLIE BLACK and RICK DAVIS to decide whom to pick for vice president.)

Joe Lieberman.CHARLIE BLACK
With him, there's no way
You can win.JOHN McCAIN
Well, what about Tom Ridge instead?CHARLIE BLACK
Do that and your campaign is dead.RICK DAVIS
We need a conservative who can serve.JOHN McCAIN
You jerks are getting on my last nerve.(The phone rings in the Palin home… JOHN McCAIN offers her a spot on the Republican ticket.)

Once, back in the '80s,

And dinged up a Mercedes.JOHN McCAIN

That's all?SARAH PALIN

Every sperm is great.

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood
