Jennifer Grey On Beating A Palin: “It Feels Damn Good”

Barack Obama, Joe Biden… and Jennifer Grey.

Yes, that’s your list of successfully Palin-beaters as detailed on Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.

O’Donnell had Grey on his show, fresh from her Dancing with the Stars win (hey, had you heard anything about one of Sarah Palin’s daughters being a contestant on that show?) and O’Donnell asked her how it felt–you know, to win. And to win over somebody who’s named Palin and all:

O’DONNELL: You have now taken your place in history, with Barack Obama, with Joe Biden. You have beaten a Palin. How does that feel?

GREY: It feels damn good.”

Watch it here, from MSNBC:

O’Donnell also suggests there may have been some concerns at the outset of “stuffing the ballot box” in the competition with a Palin among the contenders, leading Grey to wonder if “first place was out of the question.”

Grey said the risk of hijinx was “part of my reality.” Not exactly sure what any of that means, but I’m not here to put any babies in any corners on this one.
