The View on Sarah Palin’s Values Voter Speech: ‘Comedy Is Hard’

The co-hosts of ABC’s The View on Monday mocked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin‘s weekend speech at the Values Voter Summit, wherein the former Republican vice presidential candidate mistakenly referred to the White House address as “1400 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

During the speech, Palin cracked a joke about President Barack Obama‘s now-infamous “latte salute” and, when talking about the president’s current home, gave the wrong address.

“She’s proving once again that comedy is difficult,” said Rosie O’Donnell after the show aired a clip from Palin’s speech.

Co-host Nicolle Wallace, who served as an adviser to Palin during the 2008 presidential election, agreed. Citing a self-deprecating joke Palin made on Twitter after her flub, Wallace said, “Maybe back to your (Rosie’s) first point, comedy is hard.”
