What if Sarah Palin played Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin playing Tina Fey? My answer: The universe would collapse on itself with a quiet “We’re mavericks, don’tcha know.” But, apparently, the folks over at NBC and the McCain campaign aren’t concerned with the very fabric of our existence, according to the Chicago Sun-Times:
Some key McCain staffers are content with Palin joking about the “SNL” routines on the campaign trail — as when she scribbled “I’m not Tina Fey” on a supporter’s cell phone and said she’d dressed as Fey on Halloween. But others — including the governor herself — think a return punch on the NBC airwaves is what’s needed.
My political beliefs aside, I’ll admit it’d be a good show. Because if the debates taught us anything, it’s that Sarah Palin is awesome at memorizing words she doesn’t know the meaning of – like “vice-president.” Hi-YO! I’ll be in the Catskills all week, folks. Try the veal.

All Palin needs is a scar on the side of her mouth and smaller boobs. Then they’d be twins.

burungi | October 6, 2008 at 1:35 pm
With today’s meltdown, maybe that complete idiot Palin will start to attempt to talk about the issues. No, she doesn’t know anything about the economy and couldn’t place Iraq on a map but maybe she can go back to pretending to now.
Or maybe she’ll just keep on with the low blows because that’s the only thing her hateful, ignorant ass can wrap her brain around.

Wendy | October 6, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Stop bitching and ask to make an appearance on the show. They’ll agree instantly. You can go side-by-side with Tina Fey, just like Hillary did with Amy Poehler. People who do that always get a show-opening skit that skews positively toward them – just ask Hillary, who actually got a significant campaign-coverage boost from doing it.
But…this is a cranky old campaign, just like the cranky old man who heads it. They’ll complain and complain and yell at everybody to get off their small-town-America, but they won’t actually deal with the way things are now – they’ll just say it was better in the olden days. With the country heading toward the Great Depression 2.0, it’s simply not time to elect Grandpa to be president.

Tina Fey is a geek – everybody knows that.
Sarah has bigger tits and looks way better than Tina.
Maybe they could get “same ole shit” Joe to weigh in.
Six people and few crankheads is all that watches SNL anymore anyways – no “real” loss for either team….

Odysseus | October 6, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Make no mistake that regardless of their political leanings these people do this for a living. The higher the ratings of SNL the more Tina Fey puts in her pocket. She should donate the money she makes off of every sarah palin sketch to welfare. Oh wait. She doesn’t have to. She Donate YOUR money.

Say what you want about McCain / Palin, but I would take a cranky but wise and experienced old man and a smart, (yes, think about it, she did not get to where she is now by just popping out babies and changing diapers) lady than an inexperienced idiot empty suit that the socialist agenda news organizations (NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NPR, etc) in this country are pushing so hard that if he loses, I think they will all comit suicide.

You mean like paying for the largest federal government expansion since WWII and electronic surveillance of U.S. citizens without a court order? Don’t worry, it’s no longer possible for the federal government to get any bigger or any more intrusive, G.W.B. took care of that.

Yes it is funny, but the funniest thing ever? Dana Carvey as George Bush Sr., Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton, and Will Ferrell as George W. Bush were all better. Fey seems to be doing it for political reasons, not for comedic purposes.

Meh. It’s over already, I just wish we didn’t have to see a million TV ads over the next month. Obama’s tied or ahead in virtually every battleground state and this year the Dems have $$$$ and a massive ground operation. From the beginning of the primary season until now, Obama has been running a from-the-ground up, grinding, broad-based campaign that has gained votes slowly while never losing ground (he lost some primaries to Hillary but never because of backsliding of support in a state he was winning). He runs by the ABCs: Always Be Closing. Or…it’s like a football team wearing down the opposition with a pounding running attack. Over the weekend, the McCain camp started throwing Hail Marys (“Obama is a domestic terrorist!!!”) after pulling out of Michigan to try to put their much more limited resources to better use. Doesn’t matter, it’s way too late. McCain is down to the same thing all losing presidential campaigns cling to: one final highly improbably scenario in which electoral votes from a hodgepodge of states puts them over the top, while losing most of the big states. As always, it’s not a realistic scenario, it’s simply something to try to keep morale up for the last push in the face of inevitable defeat. The economic news will only get worse (just check out today’s big stock market drop, one day before another debate…poor John), while Obama grinds along like an unstoppable android (which he more or less is). McCain can throw all the Hail Marys he wants but to complete one he needs Obama to make a mistake, and he won’t. It’s a sad time to be a McCain supporter. He’s had a checkered political career to be sure, but most people previously viewed him positively and with admiration and respect. He seems to be on the verge of destroying that now.

I don’t know why so many people are complaining about Sarah Palin.
I live in Israel and we have to put up with Zipi Livni.
Livini’s only qualifications for the job are that she has kept her nose clean in 7 government offices; but being a woman and currying to Politically Correctness cannot cut it when the world economy is on fire. Let’s compare Livni to Sarah Palin – Sarah Palin has better hair, dresses much better, an (albeit short) track record in Alaska (Livni’s only asset is that she has no record at all…), and is a tough public speaker (Livni doesn’t even score in this category because a) she doesn’t speak in public and b) her English is atrocious to the point of embarrassment.

Now that McCain’s campaign has decided to move to no-limits mudslinging, McCain gets to answer all the questions again about the savings and loan fiasco that gave him a very un-Maverick-y image during an earlier time of bank failures due to fraudulent practices. Palin gets to answer questions about her un-outsider-y/un-reformer-y abuse of power investigation in Alaska, which is going forward again after an Alaskan court threw out the groundless RNC-backed suit to stop it.
You made the first move, McCain/Palin. Good luck getting your message out now.

Stock market plunges (…and a crash? who knows). Bank failures. Mortgage foreclosures. JOB LOSSES. High energy prices.
Why on earth does anybody think the Republicans can win the election? When there’s an across-the-board domestic collapse like what’s going on now, the incumbents’ heads roll. It’s nothing to get all worked up about. In fact, in a way it’s only fair. People mindlessly reelect incumbents all the time (often at a 90+ % rate in non-presidential elections). This time they’ll mindlessly vote them out of office. Circle of life.

After I’m elected I will, in addition to my VP duties, head the new National Faith Based Electorate Institute to ensure that future candidates are truly Christian men and women seeking to advance Christianity in the form of new initiatives such as Crusades and Inquisitions. After all, only REAL Christians should be armed across the planet. We willl ensure that the entire planet believes in Christianity, ushering in the end times!

Vote McCain (Palin)
Amen!

SNL is irrelevant but the opening skits go viral-video on the internet, so yeah, people care.
I thought some of the Biden lines in the SNL skit were funnier, for example:
“Look, I love John McCain. He is one of my dearest friends. But at the same time, he’s also dangerously unbalanced … He’s bad at his job, and mentally unstable. As my mother would say, God love him, but he’s a raging maniac — and a dear, dear friend.”
That was just perfect, and very close to what Biden was actually doing at the debate.

@Right Fury:
Curious attitude about celebrities preaching Obama. The difference is this: most of the celebrities who endorse him do a lot of community service and donate some of their riches. That’s why they endorse the party that is “for the people.” Besides, McCain has also had celebrity endorsements. He might have more, too, if he hadn’t slammed Paris and Britney the way he did. And to be fair, McCain IS a rich guy, and he’s only looking out for other rich guys.
