In case you missed it, Sarah Palin made her SNL debut last night, showing she does have a sense of humor. I thought it
was hilarious. The skit featured Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Lorne Michaels, and Sarah Palin. Alec made all kinds of snarky comments about Palin to her face. If anyone is familiar with Alec Baldwin, he HATES Sarah Palin, and you know he meant every word of it. Palin being the true Aquarius that she is, didn’t give a damn.
The TV show opened with a mock press conference in which Palin’s spokesman requested that the press “don’t write anything down.”
Fey then appeared as Palin and tossed off a few remarks skewering the vice presidential candidate, such as “I am looking forward to a portion of your questions,” a reference to her occasional practice of answering questions by addressing her own chosen topics.
Later Palin appeared on the show’s Weekend Update mock news segment, saying she had decided “I’m not gonna do the piece that we rehearsed,” because it would be “bad for the campaign.”
It then fell to Amy Poehler to do the bit, and she launched into an extended rap. Among the lyrics: “From my porch I can see, Russia and such,” a reference to Palin’s notorious comment that Alaska’s proximity to Russia was emblematic of a measure of foreign policy experience.
The audience cheered as a large moose danced onto the set, followed by the sound of gunshots as the moose fell to the stage, a joke on Palin’s fondness for hunting. Throughout the bit, Palin rocked back and forth in her anchor seat, pumping her arms in the air in time with the music.
Sarah Palin with her cameo appearance, delivered SNL the highest rating ever. If Sarah doesn’t make it to the White House, I’m sure they would LOVE to hire her for SNL.


Lame office humor.
I didn’t laugh during the entire show, but I did chuckle when McGruber checked his portfolio.
Boooooring
