Sarah Palin's chief adviser burst excitedly into her office one morning. "Governor," he beamed. "Some great news at last. Have you seen today's newspapers?" "I saw that there was a sale on at Bloomingdale's." "No, even better than that. According to a new post-election survey, people want you to run for President in 2012." The news was music to her ears. She stood up proudly and announced: "You mean I am the chosen one, the woman of the people? You say that thousands of Republicans have been pleading with me to run for the Presidency in 2012?" The adviser looked sheepish. "Er, I didn't say they were Republicans . . ." In Boca Raton, Florida, a woman who looked like Sarah Palin caused a near riot when she walked into a diner for breakfast. After a minute or two, people finally realized it wasn't her when she started answering questions. Jay Leno President Obama met with former political rival John McCain. And both men said it was a relief to put their differences aside, sit down, and really make fun of Sarah Palin. Conan O'Brien PARTIES
