Comedy gold: Explosive video of, um, "Palin's husband" emerges

I can’t tell you how many times as a child my own father held impromptu psychotherapy sessions like this while I stood by his bedside with a videocamera. How lucky the left is to have it emerge two days after Palin was named to a national ticket, and in spectacularly good condition notwithstanding the fact that the tape’s 12 years old and had to be transferred to a different format for uploading to YouTube.

Do note: “Todd Palin” is supposed to be 32 years old here.

Yes, there really are liberals who are treating this first-take, America’s-Funniest-Videos quality attempt at improv as plausible. Exit question challenge: Just try not to laugh when he starts talking about fishing nets.

Update: Via Ace, something I totally missed the first around just because I’m so used to seeing it: “Palin” appears to be talking on a small cell phone. In 1996.
