Turns out Palin Co-Wrote Last Night's SNL Skit

Tina Fey reprised her role as Sarah Palin last night on SNL. The skit was a parody of Palin's interview with Katie Couric (played by Amy Poehler).



Did Sarah Palin unknowingly co-write it? The skit used actual quotes from the interview. Hmm, doesn't it say a lot when a vice presidential candidate's words are used verbatim? Below is a highlight from the the skit:

POEHLER AS COURIC: "On foreign policy, I want to give you one more chance to explain your claim that you have foreign policy experience based on Alaska's proximity to Russia. What did you mean by that?"

FEY AS PALIN: "Well, Alaska and Russia are only separated by a narrow maritime border. (using her hands to illustrate) You got Alaska here, this right here is water, and this is Russia. So, we keep an eye on them."

POEHLER AS COURIC: "And how do you do that exactly?

FEY AS PALIN: "Every morning, when Alaskans wake up, one of the first things they do, is look outside to see if there are any Russians hanging around. And if there are, you gotta go up to them and ask, 'What are you doing here?' and if they can't give you a good reason, it's our responsibility to say, you know, 'Shoo! Get back over there!'

Best Thing Ever!!!

Remember Sarah Palin's "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where -- where do they go? It's Alaska." comment she made to Katie Couric? Well the GENIUSES at BoingBoing.net have a visual for it.

Yes! It's Friday!

It's almost the weekend! Some funny things to start your Friday. I found the funniest video on CitizenSugar today. Sarah Silverman is doing her part in helping Barack Obama get elected. She's is reaching out on behalf of The Great Schelp, which "aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. "

Remember Matt Damon speaking out against Sarah Palin? He said, "It's like a really bad Disney movie. The Hockey Mom. Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president. She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd."




Yup, someone made a movie trailer for it and CitizenSugar has the video posted.

Thank You Campbell Brown

Dear Campbell Brown,

Thank you for calling out the McCain camp on their sexist behavior. Everything you said is exactly what the other media outlets want to say, but are afraid to. They're afraid they'll be labled one of those "Obama-Biden Democrats". You had me at "Free Sarah Palin."(referenced around the 1:13 mark)

PS. Thank you for also putting Tucker Bounds in his place.

Sincerely,

LiberalOnMyMind

Thanks Sam Stein for transcribing this video clip.

"Tonight I call on the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment," said Brown. "This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong. She is tough. She is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heart beat away form the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff. Allow her to face down those pesky reporters... Let her have a real news conference with real questions. By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves. Free Sarah Palin. Free her from the chauvinistic chain you are binding her with. Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has just as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do. So let her act like one."
