Ok, did anyone see the Saturday Night Live skit? Of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin ?

Tina Fey was so funny I thought I would get hiccups I was laughing so hard! She has Srah Palin down even to the voice (which I must admit is super annoying).

You can check out Fey does Palin on YouTube (also try here if that link is busy)

Also good on the comedy front? Someone named Lisa Nova, who has things here and here.

Also check this out by ABC News which has another impersonator embedded in the report, and check out the AP

And read Ellen Gray today:

Ellen Gray: Tina Fey as Palin delivers a hit for SNL
By Ellen Gray
Philadelphia Daily News
Daily News TV Critic

Propelled by a much-hinted-at appearance by Tina Fey ....the 34th season premiere of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" this weekend scored its highest overnight ratings for a season opener since 2001...Fulfilling the vision of every viewer who saw Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for the first time and thought "Tina Fey!" ...sporting what looked like Palin's suit and glasses and what sounded an awful lot like Palin's prairie accent...she appeared, with "SNL's" Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton, to decry sexism..."I scratched and clawed through mud and barbed wire and you just glided in on a dogsled wearing your pageant sash and your Tina Fey glasses," Poehler said at one point.

At this point, I'd say that making fun of Palin, McCain, Biden and Obama and enjoying the entertainment on SNL is about the only positive thing that can become of these candidates. The presidential race is an ugly and disgraceful mud slinging affair with no issues of importance being discussed.

It's rather shameful, and any Americans who get any pleasure out of the mud that their candidate slings at the other deserves what they get - which appears at this point to be a whole lot of nothing from either candidate.

And, as usual, the American people get short changed.

I think Jim Quinn, the Senior Director for Strategic Planning at the Wharton School Says It Well Here.
