What did some of you people actually think would happen with Palin on SNL? Saturday Night Live is a comedy show. It's not Meet the Press.

Thursday night we were treated to a nationally broadcast recital of everything Sarah Palin learned over the past five weeks (or five days).

What an event! Watch as Palin does a dead-on impression of Tina Fey, listen as Biden pretends that the writer's lines are his, and sympathize as Gwen Ifill tries to make sense of their answers.
Vanessa Richmond | Posted 09.19.2008 | Entertainment
Fey actually understands Palin -- well enough to be a dead-wringer for her -- so could actually mount an intelligent, effective attack. Unlike, say, the current Democrats.

My price will quadruple. I'll be selling out arenas from Bangor to Fairbanks with my Sarah impersonation act. They'll even have to build me my own theater in Vegas like Cher.

Media outlets from CNN to a local Toronto news station felt it newsworthy to report -- shock of shocks -- that a contemporary comedian did an impression of a contemporary politician.

This show has the possibility of being a real political force. And every week it throws it away. It seems almost essential that these creative, funny people step up to make people think.

I've seen SNL have incredible political influence in a good way, and a bad way. It's had its left-wing writers like Al Franken and its right-wing writers like Jim Downey.

Either Obama or Clinton would be far better than Bomb Bomb McCain and his party of snaggle-toothed dinosaurs. But when substance is similar, style matters.

The performance of the mainstream media in this campaign reminds me of another election: the race in 2000 between Al Gore and George W. Bush.

Screwing black cast members is an SNL tradition, from putting Garret Morris in drag, to pissing off Eddie Murphy, to letting Chris Rock ride the bench.
