Supercomputer Fails to Translate Palin Emails into English (Borowitz)

[pokerfan]

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – Hours after the state of Alaska released 24,199 emails written by Sarah Palin during her tenure as Governor, a celebrated supercomputer created by IBM failed to translate the messages into English.

IBM computer scientists who work in the company’s language recognition lab were initially optimistic that Watson, the computer that rocketed to fame as a contestant on television’s “Jeopardy” game show, would have no problem cracking the code of Gov. Palin’s gubernatorial emails.

5. This sounds like authentic Palinic

"For her part, Gov. Palin seemed unfazed by the news, using a stop on her bus tour to blast Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY): “In Paul Revere’s day, he had to ride from door to door to show people his penis.”"

7. I just can't picture Palin saying the word 'penis'

I'm sure she and Tawd have a speshul name for his.
