...All in all, there may have been some laughter added over the top of her jokes, but only to enhance the audience’s reaction not fill it in completely. I am sure this is not the first time this has happened on a talk show.

Conclusion: D-bag Stinson is a liar.

This is the only part of Mallard's insightful post on HotAir.com that I need to respectfully disagree with.

Here is a private reply that I sent to some Palin supporters who asked for MY opinion of this latest scandal:

...I don't plan to spend much time refuting the Kos Kids Konspiracies -- but OUR GROUP was probably the "laugh track" they thought they heard.

We only had a dozen or so FReepers (and FRiends) actually get in, so perhaps our support for Governor Palin did sound a little "forced" at times.

But it also may have helped that we were sitting directly under a microphone that may have made us sound louder to the TV audience at home than it would have to the bozo (sitting in another part of the studio audience) who wrote this screed.

I certainly did not hear HIS supposedly "loud" groans and sighes from where I was sitting -- in the center. Perhaps they really did have the mikes where he was sitting turned down. It sounds like where the "Rouge" people were sitting was where our friend Eric Golub was sitting. Maybe HE saw their "coloring books" -- and heard their "groans." WE certainly did not, from where we were sitting.

And OUR "Palin palm prints" didn't make it on the TV crowd shots either. The cameras were ignoring ALL of us in the audience, equally, I think.

On his side, over by the Tonight Show band, there were a lot of rather vocal Shaun White fans. Maybe that's why his mike was turned down, and did not pick up his sounds as well our mike did for our sounds -- at least for what the the audience at home was hearing. - RonDog

Some of that (now public) reply will make more sense after you read Stinson's original charges.

...OUR GROUP was probably the "laugh track" they thought they heard.

...a small band of "Palin palm print"-bearing FReepers (and FRiends) who had crashed the party with the intention of acting as "Ed McMahon" to Sarah's "Johnny Carson" -- RonDog

For those of you not old enough to remember this CLASSIC "Tonight Show" tradition, see also, from wikipedia.org:
...For more than 30 years, McMahon introduced the Tonight Show with a drawn-out "Here's Johnny!"

His booming voice and constant laughter alongside the "King of Late Night" earned McMahon the nickname the "Human Laugh Track.."
