Go to YouTube and "watch in high quality" for the full effect. I'll leave the comments to you folks ;-)

[Dawgs]

1. OMG!!

:rofl:

[countingbluecars]

2. Is that as bad as I think it it? n/t

[King Coal]

7. Yes, as an ex-music major (or as anyone with ears) that was painful.

[countingbluecars]

11. Her introduction

said that she had been performing for 10 years. Not a quick study.

[The Wielding Truth]

14. 10 years...... 10 more should just about get her there.

:crazy: I hope she has the time she needs.

[Blue_In_AK]

15. Yes, it is.

I play the flute, as well. She sounds like I do when I first try playing a song that I don't know with someone (without sheet music) and I'm scrambling around trying to figure out what key they're in. She started out fairly okay, but lost it there in the middle.

[DefenseLawyer]

3. This one time... at band camp... n/t

[keepCAblue]

4. Reminds me of...

Ashcroft's now infamous rendition of "Let the Eagle Soar"

[ronnykmarshall]

5. Love the cross eyed look.

[JuniperLea]

6. That is just sad...

It made my jaw ache!

[jacobfloyd]

8. Because this one time, at band camp . . .

:rofl:

[MelanieArt]

9. Watching this made my 2 year old cry

I wish she wasn't sitting on my lap right now, that was beyond horrible...

[beac]

16. Watching that makes me cry too.

I gave up the flute after three months in fourth grade because my playing sounded like Sarah's. I now realize that apparently I could have had a great career as an Alaskan flautist. ::cry:

[markevil]

10. ouch

Makes me happy I didn't get surround sound on my comp

[targetpractice]

12. She plays a vast variety of instruments...

You know... any instrument put in front of her.

[glinda]

13. BLECH

[jberryhill]

17. An ill woodwind that bloweth no man to good /nt

[WePurrsevere]

18. Wow... that really was painful and it made our dogs all howl. n/t

[peace13]

19. Ouch. She should have wiped that lipstick off before attempting anything musical.

[kestrel91316]

20. I played the flute for over 15 years. I. Have. No. Words.

I had to stop listening after the first third of it.

To her credit, she was able to memorize the piece. I was never able to do that (some learning deficit).

My trusty assistant and I just sat through the whole thing........she played the flute for all of a year or two in JrHigh and she said even SHE wasn't that bad.

It made me cry. I am speechless at how genuinely awful that was. The woman is tone deaf. And has not learned to use vibrato yet (after ten years?????).

[King Coal]

25. If you listen closely you will realize that she forgot a few bars.

[Heather MC]

21. OMG my husband is a professional Musican some of his best friends are flute players

he said his ears are bleeding
:rofl:

[8 track mind]

22. holy crap!

The first few bars were ok, but damn what the hell happened in the middle? I bet she blamed her shitty performance on a Liberal cassette tape player....... :eyes:

[kestrel91316]

23. I swear my 17-y-old hospital mascot just tried to commit suicide over that flute

performance. Dusty is kind of old and senile and has some medical issues, and since her buspirone got recalled she has become more vocal.

She got up and stomped over to where her food and water are, took a drink, and started this wierd meow/warbling INTO THE WATER. Gurgle gurgle burble squawk meowgurgle blurb blurb. And then drank again. And then did it all over again, right in front of us.

Poor Dusty tried to drown herself so she wouldn't have to listen to any more of Sarah Palin's godawful flute solo. You heard it here first.

[goclark]

28. Stop it ~ I'm on the floor laughing

Dusty is a smart doggie! :hug:

[kestrel91316]

36. Um, Dusty is a 1/4 Siamese cat, lol.

[goclark]

37. laughing too hard to read

[Zookeeper]

24. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Notice the background music is louder...

toward the end to drown her out.

[nini]

26. Ok. I'll say it.. she's good at blowing things and that has paved her path

:evilgrin:

[ecstatic]

38. That's what comes to my mind as I look at the footage

She better hope this doesn't go viral.

[progressoid]

27. Well I'll be damned. She IS qualified to be Vice President!!1!

[ClayZ]

29. I am a flutemaker. OUCH!

That was MURDER!

[Greyskye]

30. Train-wreck from 1:20 on

She completely lost it - she might have been doing 'air flute' for a bit in the middle as well.

Where's Chuck Berry and his Gong when you need him? :shrug:

[Mabus]

31. Paging Keith, have we got an Oddball for you!

I swear to god, my dog just howled. I had to stop watching it.

[SIMPLYB1980]

32. OMG! That was horrible it made my ears hurt.

:freak:

[K8-EEE]

33. LOL! Did she buy that dress in the American Girl doll store?

[Zuiderelle]

34. Holy SHIT that's bad. That would be bad for a 5-year-old. She's horribly out of tune and has NO

breath control. That's what she chose as a talent... wow.

[targetpractice]

35. We now know why she didn't win.

Because the winner, Maryline Blackburn is quite talented musically.

[tomg]

39. She sounds like an

eight-year old who has been taking flute lessons for a month who is trotted out by parents at a party to "entertain" everyone. Just dreadful.

[kestrel91316]

40. Exactly. I was almost always first chair flute in band, and we never

had anybody that awful in junior high OR high school - MAYBE in 3rd grade when everybody was starting out.

I notice the sound track had a flute in it, so all she had to do was add some accents.

And that dress. Made my assistant scream when she saw it: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING SHE'S WEARING????????

[Eyes_wide_ open]

41. OMG Did you listen to the intro?! It said she majored in

Telecommunications AND POLITICAL SCIENCE!!

Now I ask you this, how does someone that majored ... or even minored ... in PoliSci NOT know what the VP's job is? :wtf:
