The Washington Post isn’t the only daily D.C. newspaper to rave about Sandra Bernhard’s anti-Palin ranting. Wednesday’s Washington Examiner joined in, with the headline "Comedienne delivers enraged optimism." Barbara Mackay claimed "in the end, oddly and subtly, Bernhard’s message is positive."

Here’s some of what she says in the promo:

Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the s--t and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b---h! Don’t you f--kin’ reference Old Testament, bitch! You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls--t! Don’t you touch my Old Testament, you b---h! Because we have left it open for interpre-ta-tion! It is no longer taken literally! You whore in your f--kin' cheap New Vision cheap-ass plastic glasses and your [sneering voice] hair up. A Tina Fey-Megan Mullally brokedown bulls--t moment.

Leftist "comedienne" and performance artist Sandra Bernhard is in Washington D.C. performing a revival of her monologue Much Ado About Nothing. In an interview (and cover story) of the D.C. gay magazine Metro Weekly, Bernhard attacked the McCain campaign, accusing them of hypocrisy of "holding down the middle classes and the working classes" and "It’s totally hypocritical and stupid of them to point fingers at celebrities." She also proclaimed her faith in Barack Obama and "I really like Joe Biden quite a bit." She typically touted their smarts, since liberalism equals intelligence: "And like all presidents who are smart, they surround themselves with smart people. No president makes decisions on his own – certainly George Bush probably made next to none."

MW: Do you feel optimistic about Barack Obama’s chances in the campaign?

BERNHARD: I do feel optimistic. Has he said everything the way I wanted him to say it?No. Do I think he’s a politician? Yes. But I certainly have more faith in him and I really like Joe Biden quite a bit. I’m glad it’s somebody who’s fresh and new. And like presidents who are smart, they surround themselves with smart people. No president makes decisions on his own – certainly George Bush probably made next to none. I don’t know why people are scared that [Obama is] so inexperienced. George Bush has had it for eight years and he seems like he doesn’t notice or had any reaction to what he’s created in the world, so what does that say?
