Word is Barack Obama will appear on the November 1 episode of Saturday Night Live, the last episode before the election. Hopefully he can share a few tips with Fred Armisen who impersonates him regularly.
When asked recently if he was disappointed that the impressions weren’t funny, Obama replied, “I’ve gotta say, compared to Tina Fey and what she’s been doing with Gov. Palin, my imitator isn’t doing as great a job, but I do know my ears have been getting bigger and bigger each episode. I’m sure they’ll get me right over time.”
In related news, Obama is currently in Hawaii visiting his ailing grandmother.
PALIN DENIES $150K CLAIM
In an interview with The Chicago Tribune on Thursday, Sarah Palin denied accepted $150,000 worth of clothes from the Republican Party.
According to Palin, “That whole thing is just, bad! Oh, if people only knew how frugal we are. It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported.”
Palin claims the clothes are not worth $150,000 and were bought for the Republican National Convention earlier this year. She added they will either be given back, auctioned or sent to charity. Most of them haven’t even left her plane, she said.
Adding insult to injury, the Huffington Post reports that Palin’s makeup stylist is the highest-paid campaign staffer for the first part of October, earning over $22,000 in just two weeks.
BRAVE
To support the national priority actions that elected officials must take to help veterans returning from service, MTV and veterans’ groups around the nation have created BRAVE, the Bill of Rights for America’s Veterans.
You can help by signing the petition and asking elected officials to properly treat veterans’ mental health issues, prevent homelessness among veterans, give disabled veterans the benefits they have earned, fully fund veterans’ hospitals and compensate troops who are made to serve longer.
For more information on BRAVE, check out THINK.MTV.COM and be sure to tune in to MTV’s “A Night for the Vets: An MTV Concert for the BRAVE” tonight. Check out Angel’s post on the show.
The Republican Party needs to spend $150k on Palin some education or just buy her a clue!!!
“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported.” – She has a lot nerve to say this, ummmm Palin how do you think Obama feels especially coming from your party???
she a lie, she know damn well they spent all that money on her. fuckin’ fakester!!!
She lying! She is doing what she does best, dancing around the question.
Palin would get it but only after Team Obama wins!!!! LOL
—-i dont get why she denying it…its not that serious. hell i wish they would spend
—-that much on me lol
——-and i wouldnt give them damn clothes back after the election….they didnt think
——-her clothes were good enough but then they take it back after two
——-months…thats wasteful
Everytime I look at her…I get chills because how could ANYBODY want her to receive authority in the white house? Placing her as president….we might as well give Iran the green light to attack the US. I know that’s harsh…but it’s honestly true SHE DOESN’T KNOW A THING about becoming a VP or President of the United States. smh
On a better note (and this is not related to this posting) concrete can you guys please remind everyone to check out DL Hughley’s new show on CNN (which airs tomorrow at 10pm EST)? I’m sure he will have great topics and awesome guest.
Keep doing it up CONCRETE! Always stayin on top of things. *wink*
She didn’t deny that they gave her clothes, she just said they weren’t $150k worth. So who knows it could be $155k…
I agree with #2 and #9. That`s exactly what I`ve said. Now she knows what its like to be in the middle of rumors.
And its about time Barack gets on SNL (even though he doesn`t need to). I`m tired of Palin.
I guess I am a sucker for damsel in distress, but I must admit, I feel empathetic towards Sarah Palin. Poor thing, she is just doing what she is told by the RNC but unfortunately it comes at a cost of selling your soul. Her political career is finished after this election and she is going to become the female version of Ross Perot. I hope she takes her little retarded baby, go back to Alaska and have a wonderful life, when all is said and done.
Dukesman2000, you know you wrong! LOL!….anyways she is being used as a pawn and she should know that by now. And her dumb tail is just coasting along, trying to get that “women” vote and be a horse and pony show for everyone….LMAO, at how McCain bamboozled her…lol!!!! Now if she was rolling with me, she could have gotten a whole wardrobe with clothes from H &M and some career shoes from Bakers and Dillards under at least 5, 000 big ones….C’mon now and they have the nerve to talk about spending your money the smart way…..
y doesnt she pay for her own family’s clothes and travel expenses like the rest of us do herfelf.. she’s rich enough to.
***I jus hate how the Repubs try and act like she gets portrayed bad in the media
*** Uhhhh Bitch stop talkin negative about Obama when you shady as hell.
***And then the audacity to act as if this priveleged white woman has it harder
than a Black man….AYS????? Like what America am I living in? Like beyonce
said, what you see depends on where you stand. I jus dont get it
****I always ask this question…but does anyone watch FoxNews. I mean I jus can’t
cant believe how “right-winged” they are. And they’re slightly racist, but let me not
go there.
@DUKESMAN2000 – come on that comment about the woman baby was uncalled for. I don’t agree with anything that the RNC talks about (except welfare) but that doesn’t give me, you or anyone the right to talk about an innocent child.
God made that child that way for a reason. Put yourself in her place as a PARENT and see if you would want anyone calling your child “retarded”.
I am going to pray for you.
Obama all the way!!!!!!!
damn….$22,000 for two weeks as a makeup artist!!! I’m in the wrong industry!!!
Palin is wearing $2000 knee-high boots in that photograph right there (they are on the saks website)…so of course, she has spend $150,000 on clothes. I’m pretty sure.
Also, Barack is too fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine to be impersonated. Which is why no one will ever get it right. Not even SNL. Fine black men cannot be impersonated—Denzel, Will Smith, Barack Obama….never going to happen.
So I guess all the “Joe the Plumbers” will revolt now that they’re “Walmart Mom” is really a Neiman Marcus Minx.

@ #15:
“God” endowed man with intelligence and freewill. Intelligence to advance preventative medicine, and the freewill to ignore empirical evidence. I don’t exactly condone what Dukesman said, but it’s called poetic justice.
Im getting really pissy at the justification used by the Republican party for spending that much damn money on this trashy b*tch while the country is DEEP in a recession, and moving full steam ahead into a DEPRESSION. How is an expensive piece of clothing from Saks going to assist a person living in poverty…if you’re going to lie, please tell a good lie…even auctioning the clothes off is not good enough for me…this is pure foolishness!
Here’s my thing, you can’ say you identify with Joe Six Pack or Joe the Plumber or any other redneck/cracker demographic that she speaks to and wear a $2500 Valentino jacket!! Sorry boo boo, Joe Six Pack has probably never heard of Valentino, further more her tax return says she and her husband are worth more that $1m, ah that aint’ Joe the Plumber for damn sure!!
She and John McCain work my last friggin nerve calling Sen Obama and his wife “elitists” when Cindy McCain when to the GOP convention one night in a suit that costs $300,000 ahh.. no!! So unfortunately people need to wake up and see these people are full of Sh*t pure and simple!! If you got it rock it, there is nothing wrong with that but they need to stop being such hypocrites!!!
$150K isn’t even that much to style her
Compared to many $150K, is nothing, but that’s not the line she’s throwin, she’s saying she’s the average soccer mom and guess what most soccer mom’s can’t afford to spend $150K on clothes over a 7 wk period!!! If she’s “main” street she should rock what she got in her closet!!
I gotta admit…Palin looks fine in those high heel boots…
