Bruce Springsteen Mocks Sarah Palin
Star Pulse Entertainment News ^ | October 17, 2008

Posted on 10/17/2008 1:21:12 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Bruce Springsteen used his latest fundraising bash for Democrat Barack Obama to poke fun at one of the presidential candidate's Republican rivals, Sarah Palin.

Springsteen dueted with fellow rocker Billy Joel for the first time ever at the bash, at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday. And the Born to Run hit-maker jokingly compared the pair's inexperience to criticism of Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Palin.

He told the crowd, "Billy and I have rehearsed a little, but you have to consider this more like the vice presidential debate: you have to Palin-ise your expectations. We seem like we know a lot, but we don't really."

Springsteen and Joel were joined at the fundraiser by india.arie and John Legend.

Why do these fools think their opinion matters any more than Jill the Secretary, Joe the Plumber or Jane the Nurse's do?

That doesn't even make sense.

Bruce is just another elitist thug. I bet he hates himself for that.

“Billy and I have rehearsed a little, but you have to consider this more like the vice presidential debate: you have to Palin-ise your expectations. We seem like we know a lot, but we don’t really.”

They dated and fought over who would get to be Sarah.

“57 channels and there’s nothing on”—Bruce Springsteen

Hey, maybe that’s why Obamie thought there were 57 states?

“the boss” is one of those guys i would have no problem in landing a strong left hook to the right ear area...just like my daddy taught me.
i know i would do a bit of time for it..but i sure would feel a sense of pride.

The “ BOSS “ has been trading on this working class hero act for years . No one cares what he thinks , says or does.

Don’t these celebrities ever feel weird for being so 100% predictable and conformist?

Bruce Springsteen? That name sounds vaguely familiar.

Sarah came out under a lot of pressure and had a great debate. She seemed to have a good grasp on the issues.

Why do they still insist on calling her stupid ?

If Obamama wins this thing and has a democrat Congress then I hope that immediately that conservatives can start with the HATE and pour it on both Obama and the Congress
and not let up for 4 years. Because really this is all that has been done by the left for the past 8 years.
We are going to have socialism because Mr. Undecided is so gullible that he has bought into the hate from the left.
Well, we’ll see how that works out for Mr. Undecided when Social Security and Medicaide are broke, there are no places to invest money, there are no jobs excapt for service jobs or public works jobs.

That’s not funny, but just dumb. The premise, that he and Joel are inexperienced, is not even true, if the field is musicmaking.
