Tina Fey reprises her role as Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live” and unveils Palin’s next career move.

It’s the end of January, and you know what that means. It’s time to get together with your friends, crack open some beers, and gather around the TV. It’s time to laugh and cry and shout obscenities. That’s right people, are you ready for some State of the Union address? We are, and we’ve come up with a drinking game to prove it.

“Let me be clear” – sip
(If he’s actually clear- pound)
“Scott Brown” – sip
“My name is Barack Obama, and I also have a truck” – pound
“It reminds of my childhood in Kenya” – pound

2009 was a year stuffed to the gills with egregious behavior from spectacularly ridiculous people. With so many crude epithets at our disposal to describe these knuckleheads, none is so apropos as the one sobriquet that aptly describes quitters, hecklers, teabaggers, extortionists, and balloon hoaxers alike: douchebags.

Given the explosion of douchiness all around us, we had to dig deep to select these profiles in ignominy, but here they are — our awards for this year’s 20 biggest douchebags in America.

Straight up, I’m a fan of President Obama. I think he has the potential to be one of the best—he’s thoughtful, articulate, intelligent, and dare I say it, seems to want to improve this country.

But the other night during his health care speech to both houses of Congress, I hate to say it, but the man shit the bed. He needed to stop with the polite talk, and communicate in a way the people of this country could understand.

Here’s the speech he should have given…

Perhaps it’s a sign that the economy is on the rebound when someone in Chicago had enough extra scratch to buy a personal appearance from disgraced ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D for Douchebag-IL) for a block party last weekend.

Watch as the world’s worst Elvis impersonator performs a version of “Treat Me Nice” that is so bad, it could probably raise The King from his grave. The correct question is posed by the woman at the 0:47 mark: WTF?!?

As the resident Twitter correspondent it was recently brought to my attention that a trending topic was going around Twitter regarding Sarah Palin needing to change her Twitter name, since @AKGovSarahPalin just doesn’t seem to apply anymore. Ironically, I’m stepping down as Sarah Palin correspondent later this week (moving on to a higher calling), but I will do this one last time.
This topic, which you can follow at #TheNewPalin, seems to have been originated by @Twitter_Tips, to give credit where credit is due. I think I will just make this …

Was it getting too hard, Sarah Palin?
The whole “being the governor” gig?
All those papers to sign
And liberals to malign?
Responsibility just too big?

Did you lose track of time, Sarah Palin?
You had more than a year to complete.
Do you just slam the door
When you can’t take anymore
And expect to land on your feet?

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Sarah Palin is stepping down as governor early. Lucky for you, I was there when she gave the speech. Here are some of the highlights of what she said, and what I screamed out in a Statler and Waldorf sort of way while she was talking.

“Life is too short to compromise time and resources… it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand.”

You mean the people who elected you? Yeah, needy bastards.

No one knows what to make of Sarah Palin anymore, so perhaps we can find some clues with the help of anagrams. Thanks to Huffington Post blogger Una LaMarche, a quick search of the Internets, and this handy gizmo, here’s a compilation of the best Sarah Palin anagrams:
Nasal Harpi
Has Anal Rip
Liar Has Nap
Las Piranha
A Harp Slain
A Sharp Nail
Iran Has Pal
A Plain Rash
Anal Rash Pi (Anal rash to infinity?)
Throw in Sarah Palin’s middle name “Heath” and you get:
Ha Ha, Alpine Trash
A Harsh Path, Alien
Airplane Hash Hat
Her Alpha Satan: Hi
Governor Sarah Palin:
Aha! Serving Oral porn!
