Palin and Clinton (SNL)

[AKIron]

I thought it was great.   

It occured to me later though that they probably intended a slight towards Palin regarding the foreign diplomacy issue when Tina said "I can see Russia from my house". At first I took it to be an understated indication that she understood that the world beyond our shores presents a very real threat. Then I realized that the writers of SNL probably don't think that way and were simply ridiculing Palin.

Ask the Georgians if they could see Russia from their houses.

Looks like Mad TV went in a different direction with the Presidential Race.

Yeah, they generally do their best to take the unfunny route.  Which is an odd choice for a comedy show.

I'm still surprised SNL is still on. It has had a few funny skits here and there but it was in its golden age when John, Dan, Jane, and Eddie were regulars on there.

Its a pale shadow of what it once was.

Gawd that's funny 

[Niceguy]

Typical Tina Fey Republican bashing.

Palin portrayed as an idiot while Hillary deserving the Presidency but screwed over because of sexism. 

Not really funny.

They were not exactly flattering with Hillary in the skit either.  Best thing is not to take SNL personal.  They do a pretty fair job all things considered of making fun of everyone equally.

Absolutely right except for the not funny part. You gotta be able to laugh at yourself. Doesn't legitamize the criticism.
