Palin's mama-grizzly brand of improvisational humor leaves Jon Stewart in the dust

Glenn Beck trumped Jon Stewart's big "get" on the "Daily Show" last night — the President of the United States sitting opposite him in Comedy Central's "World News Headquarters" in New York at a "desk designed like a slice of the Capitol" — with a "get" of  his own this morning, Sarah Palin herself, chatting by phone with Glenn from her down-home kitchen table in Wasilla.

"AWESOME: Sarah Palin responds to Media Matters!" twittered an ecstatic Brian of The Right Scoop this afternoon. Listen/watch here. He'd just captured a transcendent moment of "Kitchen-Table Politics" — a mama-grizzly brand of improvisational banter between Palin at her kitchen table in Wasilla and Glenn Beck at his talk radio desk in NYC — that left Jon Stewart's stilted, unwatchable "Daily Show" performance last night with the Leader of the Free World in the dust. The premise:

David Brock, founder of [Soros-funded] Media Matters, has come out now, declaring that Sarah Palin is the only person that can save the nation from another Oklahoma-City-style massacre, saying that in order to do so she must speak out against Glenn Beck!

Media Matters founder David Brock, above, praying for a miracle, shared his fears of a Beck-incited massacre with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell the other day. See below for O'Donnell's childlike failure to understand the gravitas of Sarah and the Tea Party.

Was it "laughable or kind of sad?" Beck pondered in his signature faux "this-hurts-me-more-than-it-hurts-you style as he and Palin discussed attacks on Tea Party candidates from "the machine on both sides of the aisle," those fuddy-duddy establishment politicians, operatives and commentators who still don't "get" Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement:

Palin: Of course I, near and dear to my heart, am very very interested and engaged in the Alaska Senate race, to see how Lisa Murkoswki, running as this third-party establishment — slash — entitlement-party candidate, is throwing everything and the kitchen sink against the Republican nominee, Joe Miller. I'm very engaged in this race up here.

Beck: Isn't it amazing that the establishment, the GOP establishment, you know, people like Karl Rove, who by the way has announced that you're not qualified to [run for President]. It's a good thing you're in the kitchen, Sarah, it is.

Palin: And I'm barefoot too.

MSNBC opinionator Lawrence O'Donnell, earnestly sharing David Brock's apocalyptic concern over the imminence of an Oklahoma-City-style massacre should Beck not be silenced at once provides a glimpse into "that great abyss, the 'progressive' mind we wrote about in discussing Arianna Huffington's cluelessness recently:

O'Donnell said that such a move from Palin would be "an absolutely brilliant political posture for [her] to adopt at this moment, in this kind of atmosphere. She would get so much credit for a move like that without costing her anything from her right-wing base."

In a Joe-the-Plumber "spread-the-wealth-around" moment last night "when Obama was busy defending ObamaCare after Stewart described it as ‘timid’, Obama admitted that ObamaCare is just in its beginning stages and is a framework to set things up down the road," writes The Right Scoop (view video here): "Wow! If you've been listening to not only Beck, but Rush and Levin, you know they’ve all been telling us this very thing."

"So much credit without costing her anything from her right-wing base"? We guess principles don't count. With credit like that, who needs blame? Let's give the last word to the Christian Science Monitor's Peter Grier, who cleanses the palate with a refreshingly thoughtful, unbiased analysis of last night's "Jon and Obama Show":

And here’s the inflammatory question: Do Republicans deserve equal time? We'd love to see possible Speaker-to-be John Boehner on "The Daily Show." Or the biggest news-show get of all: Sarah Palin.

I am willing to stake my claim that almost anyone in the Tea Party can outthink and out REASON anyone in the Obama Administration. Hell, my cats can do better! And they're only 2 years old!
