Jason (can't remember how to spell his last name...I keep wanting to write Suduku!)did a good job as Joe Biden. It's just that Palin fell into Tina Fey's lap. Fey looks a lot like her and Palin has such a distinctive way of speaking and behaving, she is a comedic gift for SNL. They barely have to write anything. There is nothing wrong with (to use the British expression) "taking the piss out" of politicians--I think too many people (particularly in the media) do not give the US voters enough credit for knowing the difference between reality and entertainment. You can laugh at Sarah Palin (and Biden, McCain and Obama) and still respect them. I’m amazed people are taking so personally (or even politically) what is just normal comedy for a show like SNL.

When a woman is an idiot, and you are too political polite to call out the fact. That's sexism. Yes, I am a woman and I call out an idiot when I see one. The fact that Americans went that far to defend this obviously unqualified woman to run the most important election in this country is simply terrifying. No need for foreign terrorists. We have our own in the backyard -- it's called "Moron". What is sexisim? When a woman is an idiot, and you are too political polite to call out the fact. That’s sexism.

My girlfriends and I were shit-faced and screaming at the tv by the end. Who says the youth doesn't care about politics? (PS - Where the hell did she get her accent from? My dad lived in both Alaska and the Upper Midwest, and he speculates she's trying to appeal to the Heartland by talkin' like us, don't ya know?)

She is good at portraying Palin, hit's it straight on. Agree with Dante here, a bit much. Agree Mr. T. Now you are criticising her accent? C'mon people grow up, you're better than that :roll: aren't you? Maybe I'm wrong. Love Tina, always have. She is good at portraying Palin, hit’s it straight on.

You will find Tina Fey intelligent and amusing and you will find Sarah Palin an idiot or else they will ridicule you with their smug superiority and hit you with the Karma of the sun-always-shines-out-of-Obama's-orafice. It's interesting how sexism is tolerated and hate promoted by those who deem themselves "enlightened" mainly by themselves. The left has spoken comrade.

She's got notable credits in acting, producing and writing. She wrote & starred in Mean Girls, a movie which skyrocketed Lindsey Lohan to fame and her show, 30 Rock, has won Best Comedy Emmy for 2 years in a row now. She's got more talent in her little finger than Palin has intelligence in her entire being!
