Eh well, maybe it's the firewall here, but it's not happened on your site before.

Suzy said...

fucking brilliant. grow a pair, people!

Duane said...

Due solely to her comedic chops, I am so completely aroused by Tina Fey right now.

Girl With Curious Hair said...

I started laughing, because Tina Fey is brilliant. But then I started crying--because there is a woman who is an insult to feminism and intelligence this close to representing me on the world stage.

Hamburg ,

NBC.com videos can only be seen inside the United States. Try Googling "Palin Clinton SNL" or search for the same on YouTube, but quickly before the NBC copyright police take it down!

This is not funny. At all. We have to start taking this situation seriously. The pick of Palin is a very serious matter to the coalition that we as democrats have spent years building. The loss of women to McCain has been signifigant. Without the women the democrats are in serious jeopardy of losing not only this election, but the next several. I just don't know how we are going to stop it.

Watch Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Janet Napolitano, Jane Swift and Kay Bailey Hutchison, on Face the Nation and tell me that Palin isn't way out of her depth.

It would be funny if they weren't laughing at their own jokes. Of course, that's true of any SNL bit.

"NBC.com videos can only be seen inside the United States."

I'm here in Canada, watching it right now.

I saw it on SNL last night, funny as hell.

And I loved the "Tina Fey" reference. "Wearing your pageant sash and Tina Fey glasses..!" This season of SNL is looking up.

Chez,

I believe you owe Tina Fey an apology.

Humor is a weapon, don't forget. We need more impersonations -- people remember those better than they remember the original. Eventually the original becomes the impersonation in people's minds ... if it's good enough.

Who does a good (vacant) McCain?

Ben Fleming said...

Steve's right. Because of her caricatures on SNL and Boston Legal, I now cannot stand Nancy Grace. Not that without the impersonations she'd be at all likeable, but the even-more-over-the-top impersonations have become Nancy Grace in my mind.

Donal said...

For McCain, I might cast John Mahoney, the Dad on Frasier.

Steve said...

I'd like John Fiedler, but he's dead, sad to say.

Suzy said...

I think Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) would be a good McCain.

What the hell is this all about? I am in knots. This can't be. McCain's people think NY is in play? I have come across some articles about this. This is a nightmare I can't wake up from.

Yes, we do need the levity that humor provides. Because Palin is positively comical.

To balance though, I just read what Robert Kennedy Jr just posted about Palin at Huffington Post. His short and to the point comment is terribly sobering. To be fair, I don't know that Palin is a racist. I just think she's an idiot. But this kind of ignorance on the global stage is disturbing, to say the least:



"Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in pubic premises before the snow flies."

It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list."

Steve said...

She's the blank slate on which the neocons will write their manifesto. Just like Bush.
