Where does the quote end and the joke begin

I understand that this clip isn't as funny as the Palin-Clinton sketch, but watch it. Watch all the way through the really, really awkward parts.

Now, a lot of that was excruciating. Because half of it was directly quoted from the Couric interview.

Look, the bailout thing? I get it. It's complicated. We're not sure what the right step is, even as we move quickly to do what we hope will fix it all. However, the least I ask of the people who want to be put in charge of things is that someone types them up a cheat-sheet in near-grammatical English, not LOLcat. No, really. I don't care if she just said, "I think the bailout should happen because rich people should never have to pay for being fiscally irresponsible." At least that would be with the ENGLISH-making.

It will be very hard to resist the sweet, buffering temptation of booze, though. Perhaps I will start out with the two tea-lemonade blends left from this weekend. After two of those, I probably won't want any more booze.

Sorry! They seemed like they'd be a good idea. Tea-lemonade half-and-half is delicious as a nonalcoholic beverage. Now I know, hard lemonade must be kept pure.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I actually like them. I just don't like them after I've finished swallowing. But it's good enough on the taste that I can get past that. Alcohol always tastes like crap on the swallow unless it's drowned in sugar (like maragarita mix).
