Anyone watch Sarah Palin on SNL last night, as played by both Tiny Fey and Palin herself?
Check out this post from a 202er:
So I was the last group to do our ethics media analysis. We did ours on humor and politics dealing with Daily Show and SNL. Then this morning at the serf, CNN played this story on one of their news cast.

This could be interesting to share with the other class members.

I thought the REAL Sarah Palin on SNL was not funny at all. They should have had her do the "rap" that Amy Pohler did at the end herself. But maybe I'm just biased. The only semi-funny thing about Palin on SNL was how strikingly similar she looks to Tina Fey side by side.
I did like the bit with Alec Baldwin. I bet he loved bad-mouthing Palin to her face.
Overall, it wasn't great. They used her as a prop, and Pailn used the show for cred. Who do you think profited more from the appearance?
I thought it was funny how, probably at the request of McCain advisers, the real Palin said almost nothing during the show while the SNL cast got to make fun of her.
"From my porch I can see Russia-- and such..."
McCain got grilled on Letterman and Palin was forced to dance behind a giant moose on SNL, but what scores them points is not the content of their appearances but the appearances themselves --> McCain and Palin are cool because they appeared on late night shows.
