Conan O'Brien: Sarah Palin Killed Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 23rd 2010 06:59AM

Conan O'Brien took to his gloriously decked-out holiday set on TBS last night to report some sad news: Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had been murdered at the hands of hunter Sarah Palin.

"They updated it to make the Rudolph story a little more contemporary," Conan joked as an introduction to a clip. The video showed a harmless scene from the Rudolph TV special, cut with an infamous caribou-killing segment from 'Sarah Palin's Alaska.' See the clip:

Palin's caribou hunting stint on 'Alaska' saw harsh denouncements from screenwriter Aaron Sorkin as well as PETA . Sorkin's screed was particularly barbed: "You weren't killing that animal for food or shelter or even fashion," he wrote. "You were killing it for fun. You enjoy killing animals."

Deadline notes Jimmy Kimmel aired a similar gag about Palin shooting Rudolph ... two weeks ago.

Boy I tell ya, sarah seems to just know how to shoot her self in the foot. I saw the picture of her sighting in on that beautiful animal and decided right there and then, this woman cannot be in her right mind doing something like this and trying to run for president. man we elect her we might just as well keep Obama.

Maybe it is about time we had a president that can teach us how to take care of our selves instead of them wanting to take care of us or should I say control us as the Democrats want to do. I guess it is alright to eat meat as long as somebody else does the killing for you.

Conan - a very funny skit!
Sarah - I used to live in Alaska. Caribou (reindeer) is plentiful no matter what the "news" media tell you and is very tastefull as well. The born and raised Alaskans are a very self sufficient people whom I have always admired.

There are thousands of men and women who hunt, Sarah is no deferent.
Like it or not it’s her choice, Teddy Roosevelt was a hunter,,,
let it alone, we all know she is'nt ready to be a president.
I think "Conehead" needs to try to do something else for a living
like just retaire on all his money !

What's the matter little boy Conan? Sarah can hunt, shoot straight, field dress a moose, cut it into tasty steakis, and cook it also. A little intimidated I'd say, seems she's more of a man than your Hollyweird azz will ever be! Oh, your show is back on the air? Weather Channel still has more viewers!

By tony

your right bob,there are so many men who hate her cause shes a better sportsman than most men.

By Cornell

Shows how stuck up sarahs butt he is, he said she can shoot straight,lol

By Lilly

Geez lighten up! I thought it was funny and I like Sarah Palin! I think Conan is hilarious too.

I must agree I would not see you show if itwere next door if I were to see you on the street i would change sides of the street to avoid looking at you...

By ljponejolic@aol.com

talk about a real loser he doesnt get it hes not funny

By me

Yea Sarah can hunt! what a joke... Sarah has no clue on how to hunt...I really liked the way the camera picked up the cross hairs through the scope. lmao!

By cathy

sarah may be killing reindeer, but most of us eat meat, don't we? how do you think it gets to the grocery store?
but I digress, career politicians of both parties and The Fed are killing our economy and jobs. is this okay with everyone? congress earns six figures with full benefits while they legislate everything for us while exempting themselves. what do we do about it? re-electing Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Pingree and their ilk was not smart. talk about shooting yourselves in the foot! if your approval rating in your job was 13%, how long do you think you would keep your job? why does congress still have their six figure job? just wondering????

Actually, I'm a vegetarian, & as it has already been pointed out, Palin did not kill for food, self defense, or even (so-called) fashion. She did it for fun. That does not make her a "sports"-anything ! It makes her a psycho !

By The Geoghegan's

Another reason to dislike Sarah Palin. Any woman(or man) who can shoot and take the life of a beautiful animal for the sake of SPORT, who was out there enjoying the warm sun on his back and minding his own business, is a monster.We know she did not kill it for food, she has plenty of that on her table.
I would never vote for her. And during the presidential race when John MCain, who I was going to vote for, picked her for a running mate, he sealed his fate right there. John Mcain, I wish you had never introduced America to Sarah Palin,I have so heard enough of her and her family.

LMFAO! I was waiting to see what brainless inbred ****head would take Conan's spoof seriously and take offense at the booger lodged at their sainted Queen Sarah.

What's truly pathetic is that any of you ya-hoos think this idiot should have been a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Enjoy your happy holidays and the birth of your savior Guh-Hee-Zus all you rapturers!

Dear Conan:
I am sick of you.
You've hit the saturation point in my interest.
Go away! Boo!
I know I cannot be the only one that feels this way...
Oh, wait a minute. Jay Leno does too.
Not to mention that he stole the look from Beavis and Butthead.
Bye, bye Mr. Conan.

Sarah Palin shot my german sheperd too !

Man is the ONLY ANIMAL to hunt for FUN (sportsman)! BOTTOM LINE!!! Something is wrong with our DNA / minds ...
