WASHINGTON (AP) - Sarah Palin poked fun at herself in a speech to journalists Saturday night, drawing laughter when she announced she "
came down from my hotel room and I could see the Russian embassy."
If the election had turned out differently, she said, "
I could be the one overseeing the signing of bailout checks and vice president Biden could be on the road selling his book, 'Going Rogaine.'" Biden has sparse hair.
As for her hosts, she said she was glad to be appearing before an elite audience of leading intellectuals, "
or as I like to call it, a death panel."
"
The view is so much better from inside the bus than under it," she said, referring to the poisonous relations between her and some of the McCain campaign staff.
Focusing on criticism she has received from Steve Schmidt, a senior strategist in McCain's presidential campaign, she said, "
If I need a bald campaign manager I guess I'm left with James Carville," a Democrat.
A wonderful and plesent sense of humor.
