Controversial Sarah Palin Music Video Has Republicans Upset with Comedian - Actress/Comedian Ker'in Hayden has just released a controversial music video spoofing Governor Sarah Palin as a fascist hypocrite. "Sarah Palin Def-Jam" video, viewed on YouTube by over 200,000 YouTubers, is a sharp example of Hayden's wit. Palin is an easy, obvious, and fun target for PETA member and avid environmentalist Ker'in. Donning a wig and Sarah Palin wardrobe, Ke'rin Hayden plows though a hilarious wasp-like, rap touching upon Palin's anti-abortion rights, and the excessive development of the Alaskan pipeline to the detriment of the environment. The production ends with an insane image of Sarah Palin (Ke'rin) firing machine guns into the air and then ducking possible falling bullets. It's enough to bring a giggle to even the staunchest Republican, says Music Editor Bruce Stephens at Indie Music Reviews. (PRWEB Oct 3, 2008)
