Alec Baldwin's Sarah Palin Impression

Wonderful Man Alec Baldwin was on Real Time With Bill Maher Friday night, where he eschewed shill duties for his (awesome) new book and instead helped fellow guests Garry Shandling and Christiane Amanpour Solve The Economy Crisis. It was an enlightening and lively conversation between three people who clearly know what they're talking about (and Bill Maher). But the best part had to be Alec's two Sarah Palin impressions: first, the winking, then the full-on blah blah blahing. Videos after the jump.

Alec's Palin wink:

Garry Shandling didn't even know Palin was hot until this impression:

And for those who want to see the more serious stuff, here's a good excerpt of the discussion, which happens to include Alec threatening to rape Garry Shandling:

Who would have guessed that Alec Baldwin and Garry Shandling were huge Suze Orman fans?

lindsay, you really have to turn up the volume on whatever you're recording these things on.

You have people? I thought that this blog was written by monkeys banging on keyboards. That's how it works right?

HAHAHA he so crazy! I wonder what's he like in a divorce setting.

Jk, you know he's my bf. After these clips, I'm inclined to email him my "Hey, do you like Italian food?" line (well, it's not really *my* line, but I'm the only one who would actually use it.) If Garry hasn't beaten me to it.

I see a lot of you in me, Alec (get it). Call me.

Uh, Lindsay, in order to know that Alec Baldwin clearly knows what he's talking about when he's talking about the bailout, don't you have to know what you're talking about? Do you know what you're talking about? (You do not know what you're talking about).

I meant "for celebrities."

At first, I thought Christiane said that Palin had "a bear made of bras."

(Aerial wolf-hunting. Is that like Airwolf?)
