I am glad they clowned her. I watched the debate and so often I found myself saying what in the world is she talking about. Did she even answer the question? Is she serious? LOL Good job SNL!

LMAO!! This was so funny and accurate. Tina Fey has her look and accent dead on. They are absolutely right about her only getting by because the expectations were so low. As long she didn’t stumble and say something totally ridiculous they considered it a victory. Shame on some experts for claming it was tie or it was close. Like hell it was.

Lol that was freakin hilarious, Tina Fey is so dead on with her Palin expression its funny. Everything she said sounded just like the debate Thursday. Everytime she said something I was like what in the blue f**k is she talkin about lol the Biden impression was funny too.

Tina Fey for President! lmao Fey impersonating Sarah Palin definitely is classic, no one else could do it justice. Now only if the rest of SNL was funny… they need to get Kel on there so there can be some Kenan and Kel skits lol I miss them

Why doesn’t SNL ever do a dig of Michelle Obama? Liberals have no problem attacking conservatives, but God forbid a conservative ever attack a liberal

@ 37….SNL hasn’t done anything on Michelle Obama for the same reason they haven’t “attacked” Cindy McCain! The candidates are the ones in the spotlight making fools of themselves (and yes, they all have done it at one point or another); their wives don’t really matter at this point. SNL has been very fair in the fact that they have included both Presidential and both VP candidates in their skits.
No one said anything about liberals not being able to be attacked in the same way that conservatives are.

What?
Monday, October 6, 2008 /
Wow! SNL and Tina were right on point with this one. She sounds just like Sarah!!

*Sigh*
Michelle Obama isn’t running for office. I also don’t see them getting on McCain’s wife. Get a life and let the hatred go.
43.
*Sigh*
Monday, October 6, 2008 /
@ #40
Really?! I must have missed the episode where they made fun of Obama…

@37. I agree with 40. It’s about the candidates at this point. Not their wives. Honestly at first I thought SNL seemed to show more support for Hillary than Obama.. Then they seemed more for McCain than Obama.. only now am I kinda seeing a little less bias from SNL. Bottom line though. I think this might be my FAVORITE political sketch from SNL to date!
i’m with #21!
“OMG..THIS IS F%$#N HILARIOUS. GIVE TINA FEY A RAISE! ONE OF THE BEST IMPRESSIONS EVER!”Queen was funny! Tina Fey could be Palin’s twin she was so good! “Biden” was funny too!
I actually tried to watch the VP debates and after 5 min. I was like this sh-t is retarded, change the channel please. (I don’t agree with her views but) I would say Palin did pretty well from what I saw though, but then again, didn’t she used to be a news reporter?
Got one word for ya: MAVERICK!
p.s- why do republicans have a hard time pronouncing foreign leaders’ names? did anyone else notice this during both debates?

TO #4 YOU MEAN FLUTE LOLOLOLOL

**** I meant Barack Obama.
There’s no hate, I’m just sick of the biased media, & conservative bashing.
Oh & btw, SNL sucks! They haven’t been funny in years!

Yes,,,you’ve missed those episodes. They took a jab at nancy pelosi that same night.

@ Sigh,
If you’re sick of the liberal bias just watch Fox….its just a suggestion.

So what...12345678

And if you’re into comedy just watch the Colbert Report…just saying!

*Sigh*
Monday, October 6, 2008 /
@ 49
That’s interesting. I can turn to one specific channel to watch “media bashing of liberals”, yet I can turn the TV on any channel & see/hear the media bashing conservatives. Its this level of bias that makes me hate Democrats more and more each day.
51.

Monday, October 6, 2008 /
*Sigh
Then please go ahead and vote McCain. Anything is better than listening to you whine more and more each day. lol
I guess to you it’s more likely that the DNC runs every media outlet but Fox news, than it is that overbearing right-wing nuts are just easy to make fun of.

re: #51 “I guess to you it’s more likely that the DNC runs every media outlet but Fox news, than it is that overbearing right-wing nuts are just easy to make fun of.”
That’s basically what I told my friend who is a “Right-Winger.” There’s a LOT of Obama bashing in general. Everytime Palin opens her mouth, the jokes just write themselves. He actually agreed with me.

This woman gets on my nerves (SP).
I can’t believe any woman in their right mind would vote for her,Oh, I guess they will since she lied on Madeleine Albright and said she said there was a place in hell for women who don’t support other woman.
Madeline Albright put her in check, about what she really said and then asked Ameica to vote Obama/Biden.
Sandra Bernhardt is right someone needs to b—-slap this woman.
She needs her a– kicked too the way she is running around here lying on Senator Obama…the woman is evil…and she is a christian right!!!
THERE IS A PLACE IN HELL RESERVED FOR HER for sure!!!

Sigh please. If your girl Clinton was the Democratic nominee, then you would not have made that comment. Clinton is a Democrat, so do you hate her too? Bottom line is there are corrupt Democrats and Republicans.
LOL @58! Sign does not have issues — Sign is highly confused. Just keep living.

This clip was HILARIOUS even down to the facial expressions given by Queen Latifah in response to their answers. All three were awesome.
Tina Fey has Sarah Palin down pat. If I believed in cloning I would swear Tina was a clone of Sarah.

@ Kia
It’s funny you should refer to me as “confused” because judging from our last convo, you are definitely the “confused” one. But that’s off topic. I stand by everything I said. Clinton isn’t in the race, so she’s irrelevant.

the GOP wouldn’t dare schedule any more unscripted air time for Palin, this would give people more time to realize that she’s totally clueless… the prospect of her becoming the Commander in Chief is frightening
