>> Miss Pale, good to finally have you.
>> Palin. >> Excuse me?
>> No problem. >> Come again?
>> When?
>> Tonight I would like to ask you
whether you would like to comment on what happened...
>> Nothing out of the ordinary happened.
>> ...what happened this morning.
>> Nothing unusual happened.
>> You mean, this is what usually happens?
[pause]
What happened this morning?
>> Our position is that nothing happened.
And I am not commenting on what happened.
Now, if you would like to talk about oil...
>> Wait a second, Miss Pale, I still need you
to comment on what happened this morning.
>> It's Palin.
>> You mean your memory of it is fading away?
>> I mean nothing happened.
Now, with the shortage of oil in this country and the environment in Afghanistan...
>> When you say, "nothing happened", Miss Pale, that means
we should probably be talking about
what should have happened and didn't.
>> Nothing happened.
>> Exactly.
Why didn't you get up and...
>> Nothing happened. But it was an isolated incident
that my staff and I are currently reviewing
to prevent further mishaps of the kind.
>> You mean it will never happen again?
>> If it had happened, it would now be exactly as if it had never happened. Because the measures
we undertook to prevent it from happening in the future and also for oil to spill in
Iraq...
>> Please stay on topic. Describe how it could happen.
>> Well. It was an unusually pale morning.
>> You mean it was palin' outside.
>> No. I was inside. I was in my pyjamas. In fact, I went so far as to still be in bed.
>> Very late in the day, I hear.
>> Who told you that?
>> I figured. Because you came in too late.
>> I was not late. I was right on time. -- On Alaska time.
>> But you stayed here in Los Angeles the past week.
>> See, there is a time lag between Alaska and America.
And, as my think tank advices me, this time lag, which you might call a dangerous time
gap or temporal disadvantage, spans not only between Alaska and America, but also between
the Communist East and America. And there lies an imminent danger that we need to talk
about before Al-Kaida learns about it.
>> So this morning, you overslept.
[pause]
>> It was an isolated incident. And due to the measures that my staff and I has since
took it is as if it never happened.
Whereas the dangerous time gap peak oil terrorism environfascists...
>> I am very sorry, but our time is up.
>> But we didn't yet talk about what I came here to say
and think is important.
>> Good night. Thanks to Miss Palin.
>> It's Pale. No, wait.
>> I'm sorry. Our time is up.
>> I overslept.
>> I know.
