Sarah Palin, lounge singer

The poets have gotten a hold of Sarah Palin, witness Hart Seely in Slate, and every joker who can strum a guitar seems to be giving it a shot at parodying her (I've almost scratched my ears out with a trowel in the course of this exercise), but you gotta give credit to the jazzers. Pianist Henry Hey figured out that Sarah Palin was actually channelling a hip, spoken-word vibe as she was interviewed by Katie Couric, and a not a lost, get-me-out-of-here one. View and hear the result here.
