sarah palin has guts and nothing to lose in a SNL appearance. might as well laugh a little while we can. if only she would appear in a two-piece swimsuit, john mccain would be the next president.
Am I the only one who wants to watch Tina & Sarah get down with each other? I think not.
When it comes to Sarah Palin one need say only two words...Koo Koo
Yeah, we all have nothing better to do on a Saturday Night and sit home and watch these whackjobs run off corny jokes. Get a life America!
Journlism 101: 'Who, what, where, when, why?'How helpful it would have been to have icludedthe time and network for tonights SNL broadcast.
Oop, sorry, just re-reed the blog; the authordid include the network (NBC).
Watching SNL tonight is tantamount to subourning this wicked extremists politics. I for one will avoid giving her any sort of poll bounce at all costs. You think this woman is sane enough to be President. Watch the video of her Pastor blessing her political career in the name of Jesus and protecting her from 'all forms of witchcraft', a cause he takes to Africa that has threatened the lives of countless women.
Whether she flies or falls on SNL has nothing to do with Sarah Palin's ability to be a good vice president/potential president. I'm far more concerned with her attack dogging and throwing around the word 'terrorist' when she and her hubby have joined similar government-hating fringe groups as an acquaintance of Obama. THAT'S where you find the racism, people. She knows the word will stick to the black man with the Arabic name a lot faster than it would to her, her husband and Timothy McVeigh.
SNL has reached a new low. I will not watch tonight. Maybe not ever again. This negates every point they've made about Sara Palin. They're worse than the politicians they satirize. They'll do anything for ratings.
This will be sooooo funny... I hope she has thick skin cuz the SNL crew will claw at her like a pack of wolves... can't wait!!! :D
This proves how dumb Sarah Palin is... I can't wait for Tina Fey to make Sarah Palin to look more like a fool than ever! Thanks SNL! :)
Thank you Tina Fey for continuing to make Sarah Palin look like a fool. This proves how stupid Sarah Palin is...ha ha ha. Thanks SNL!
Shame on NBC. This election is not a joke. How dare they put her on SNL when she won't even appear on Meet the Press. Does our media owe this country nothing?
Tina Fey is WAY more intelligent, funnier, and better looking.
McCain should have chosen her.
Ditto to No1uknow, Cramjoker, & Stella's comments. Talk about trying to get your ratings up, how pathetic of SNL to even give Palin the time of day. I think we all have better things to do than watch her make more of a fool of herself......
I still can't believe that John McCain picked such an unqualified CHEERleader, and that many in the nation consider her to be a fit leader. For me, that alone says that McCain is not a patriot at all. He has our entire nation at risk with such a flighty choice of a person who has no comprehension of the world past Alaska, apparently only to get headlights and votes, which has happened. Despicable! As are his robo-ads... I would look forward to SNL interviews showing us some more of this, but I think every scene will be screened first by some Republican committee to present her in a scripted way, for political gain.
It will be a pleasure to watch Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. She will handle another of her attackers with style and grace I am sure. Lets give the lady a break. I for one admire her for her accomplishments and she is doing a good job for her party. Go Sarah!
This election is becoming increasingly retarded. I don't care about Sarah Palin's or any candidate's ability to deliver a terse and witty monologue or their ability to laugh at themselves. You know why? One: Because I'm not six years old. Two: Because I'm concerned with real things that make a real difference in the real world.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Palin is Bush in a skirt. McCain's years and health are about used up. Bad pick Senator.
I hope Palin puts that impressionist in her little place.
Well, now. Have we really been well served by career professional politicians?
All those seeing through this cheney-in-drag, should boycut SNL.
Sarah Palin is a Natural Leader...for all you socialists out there Sarah is a racist and anybody else that's not for Obama because they are not part of the 'Hive Mentality' embraced by the New Democrat Party...Funded by foreign Muslim Interests Groups...Using HollyWood as a front to channel monies into Obama's campaign which can't be traced since the World Bank has been Hacked for the last 7 months.
Palin is just making the appearance to gain more notability and public exposure (even though she and McCain are likely to lose the election) to further her longer-range political ambitions with the religious and conservation right.
She and SNL share the desire for higher ratings at whatever the cost.
They don't even need to give Sarah Palin a script to make her funny. They only need to have Katie Couric alongside her, asking her intelligent questions.
I would bet the people screaming in Palin's crowds are Obama plants. Axlerod was notorious for this with Clinton.
As far as Palin is concerned, You libs are jealous of her success and how she resonates so well with conservative America. While Obama is making decisions to hang with terriorists, and his wife is eating caviar and with lobster toast, Palin creates an image of what you can achieve if you if work hard and make good decisions. Did you expect her to stay home and bake cookies??? (oops sorry, Hillary)
Looking forward to spreading the wealth around. I would encourage all of you to tell your overachieving kids who want to go to a great private college to give give up one grade level to those underachievers so they can all go to state schools together. That would be the fairest thing to do.
This lady has guts. Not so sure why we attack her character, this is a free country, and our classic liberal heritage should be protecting every person's right to speak, even if I might not agree with her or the Rep party. It is ridiculous to say she is not experienced, for heaven's sakes we elected Jimmy Carter and he was a peanut farmer and only a Governor himself. Give me a working mother with a normal family, a guy who backs her up and the challenge of a special needs kid against dufus Joe Biden. We definitely should have gotten Hilary instead of Obama, who actually doesn't even have the experience Jimmy Carter had!!! Both of the choices suck on both sides. Hilary, come back, please. If you don't, we are in serious trouble as a country.
Cps, the Democrats are socialists? It seems your McCain/Palin ticket wants to buy up all the mortgages at face value AT GREAT COST TO THE TAXPAYERS, what about those taxes? This McCain/Palin ticket is a complete joke and acts totally schizoid. I am very sorry SNL has agreed to have Palin on the show when, like others have mentioned, she is completely unavailable to the press (unless you count Fox Fake News which are just her cheerleaders and have no credibility).
Palin? She's an arrogant hypocritical redneck idiot with a taste for dirty, DIRTY politics, and thus arguably the perfect representative of the American people. Please, dear god, don't vote for her you fools...
Sarah Palin will make my job much easier. Go Sarah!
hey, cps, you'd better go outside and check the sky for those black helicopters and don't forget to read the backs of all the road signs you pass by.
and remember, fluoridation is a vicious commie plot to sap and destroy our precious bodily fluids
I like Sarah Palin. I wish more shooted guns and exercised regularly like she does. She looks great! I'm pro-choice, she's not, but so what. I'm not going to condemn any woman for having kids just as I wouldn't condemn any women for using birth control or an abortion. What she says about Obama is true. checkout www.usweekly.com, www.obamacrimes.com and www.larrysinclair.org. Sorry, I'm not a big fan of closet cases with ties ti fundamental Islamic extremeist. Ayers is nothing in comparison. And he really has been inovled with Acorn for over 10 years. I would've voted for Hillary but the DNC made her step down because was female. And nobody acknowleges Cynthia McKinney, although she is black, because she is female. What a sexist world we live in. One more thing, Obama is multi-racial, like Tiger Woods, not African American. Oh, and is he even a citizen?
Hmmm, a bit on the delusional side she is.
you asked my opinion:
After reading your reply, we have rescinded our request....please keep them private! Thank you.
SARAH SRAH SARAH TAKE YOUR LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION BULLSHIT AND GO BACK TO ALASKA AND KILL A ANIMAL OR TWO JUST GO AWAY
What are they thinking? Sarah Palin will be great on SNL. She excels at scripted stuff. Anything where she doesn't have to actually speak her own words, she's a star! I can't stand the sight of her and that annoying accent. She is one of the most offensive politicians I've come across since W. Why give her an opportunity to endear herself to the younger generation with this appearance? For ratings??? SNL should be ashamed, and I can only hope Tina Fey has washed her hands of this mess.
Sarah is a despicable human being. She now advocates the extinction of Beluga whales, in addition to her racist, anti-intellectual, anti-education anti-anything-that-she-doesn't-agree-with small warped mind.
Her comments this week that the only true Americans are the ones who live in small towns, should motivate the SNL audience to boo this vermin off the stage!
I have had ENOUGH of these Obama-maniacs dissing Sarah Palin.
She's not running for President- but has it all over Barry in the 'experience department.'
She also doesn't have a dubious background of associating with mentors, terrorists, associates, felons and thieves like Rev. G.D. AmeriKKKa Wright, Bill Ayres, Bernadine Dohrn, Tony Rezko, Franklin Raines, Barney Frank- and all the 'dummycraps' who have sunk this nation into a national banking-housing-credit crisis.
Sarah will connect with the American people tonight- and win over a lot of undecided voters with her INTELLIGENT, poised appearance.
Poise is POWER - PALIN-POWER.
McCain-Palin 2008
Shocking that SNL would risk giving this awful human being a 'bounce' of any kind. We need to bounce her and that crotchety old sell-out McCain to the curb. I never thought anyone could embarrass this country more than George Bush. Wrong again.
I heard a Republican strategist on TV hoping that Palin's appearance on SNL will be a
'game changer' ! This clearly shows the sad state of the McCain campaign, as they don't have anything substantive to offer.
If hinterlanders (which constitute the moral and economic majority of America) are somehow to be characterized as 'provincial' and thus worthy of derision, then I am inclined to point out that making fun of the autoneurotic hicks from NY, Chicago, and LA (and similar homelands of America's parasite class) is almost as much fun as cow tipping or watching the stop-light change. And skill in moose preparation is surely not as humerous to us as a NY tourist that expects to survive in Wyoming or Alaska on carry-out, or cultural airs put on by a TELEVISION CRITIC. In Montana or Idaho or Nevada, we don't need no stinkin' NYT television critics. We just belch or 'faht' and use the remote.
Much to your surprise, but not America's, Sarah Palin will do just fine on SNL. And hinterlanders are smart enough to know that there is no living in being a Tina Fey imitator - which sort of puts it all in proper perspective.
Incredible that Sarah Palin would not know of important Russian leaders meeting in Alaska yesterday although she has time to be on a comedy show. McCain has played a very serious sick joke on all of us.
Id watch if I could find any humor in the real Sarah Palin at all.
It is not at all Funny!!!
We can only hope that this nitwit VP candidate's 15 minutes of fame is up after election day. However, I admit it would be hilarious 3 years from now to see if she is delusional enough to run for President herself, ala Dan Quayle, whom in hindsight she makes look like Einstein. The cynical attempt by McCain to select this halfwit to appease his base and make a grab for disaffected Hillary supporters was the last straw for me as for considering voting for him. My high school freshman knows more about world events than she does.
I am ashamed to admit I held my nose and voted for 'Dubya' twice, how can Obama do worse, we have nowhere to go but up. Congress, the economy, and popular opinion will tone down his big spending plans; and hopefully we have learned by now to not take any President's word or plans at face value after the last 8 years of total incompetence.
Most of those that blindly follow Obama are just cattle in every sense of the word except they don't know they are cattle. Palin's intelligence, drive, and accomplishments scare the hell out of you. You can't understand how a conservative woman can get this far this fast. You must demonize her as you do with everyone that scares the oblivious cattle in their pastures. Get used to it. Palin is Reagan in a dress. Your demonizing tactics will not work on her. She is here to stay.
She's sounding out a post-election career move, perhaps?
can I ask you all to please look at what you have said in your comment.
Please, i'm sure you had a smug look on your face when you posted your comment but honestly, most of those comments convinces me that you really aren't joking and you are as dumb as the people you quote your facts from.
This election seems to have two extremes and frankly it shows how easily Americans are indoctrinated. Get a grip and write something that comes from your own thoughts and grow up.
and by the way, stop calling Sarah Palin a MILF.

Journlism 101: 'Who, what, where, when, why?'How helpful it would have been to have icludedthe time and network for tonights SNL broadcast.'
ARE YOU SERIOUS???? WHERE DO YOU LIVE, UNDER A ROCK?????
Yeah Journalism 101... First of all learn how to spell JOURNALISM then try to give us a class about it.
Second of all, again, are you serious you need time and network for the SNL broadcast????
I can't stop laughing (my stomach hurts really bad).
Hint: Google Search (if you really must) and it's sad because its been running since 1975.
It's a good indication of your IQ when all you can do is throw out playground-quality insults or call someone a slut or any other uncalled-for remark that shows exactly how dumbed down you are. Bias leads to illogical dislike of its opposition.
Personally, I do not like Sarah Palin, do not agree with her actions or policies and will not vote for her. But people chill out. There really is no reason to spew the kind of hate speak seen here and else where. As Mr. Obama points out we can disagree without being disagreeable. Please respect Ms. Palin and yourself and clean it up.
Geez, swiglin, you sound desperate. Palin is a myopic 40 something mother of four or five and a presumptive grandmother. If seeing her in a two piece bakes your muffin, more power to you, but I have more discriminating taste.
I used to think that the difference between democrats and republicans was just a point of view. After the reading I've done this political season and the responses to this article, I'm now convinced I was wrong. I was raised believing that democrats were for the people but all I see in them now is hatred. The only platform the democrats seem to believe in now is their hatred of republicans. It's no wonder Liberman left the party. I wish Palin hadn't been selected as VP candidate. The people in Alaska were/are thrilled with her except the political hacks in both parties that pulled the chock collar on. I feel bad for her, she should have said no to McCain. She seems far more like people I know than any other person in politics. Most of them are freaks and we let them run us like we're too stupid to run them.
SNL has satirized more politicians than Gov Palin recently. Inviting her to participate in the comedy act as they previously did with Sen McCain, Sen Obama, Sen Clinton and many others in the public eye before suggests SNL believes it is a comedy show, not a mouthpiece for any single party or cause. The fact that Gov Palin accepted the invitation to appear probably means she is ready to participate in the comedy instead of being only the butt of the jokes. The comments suggesting SNL should not have the governor as a guest after so effectively exploiting her mannerisms, public comments, and elements of her private life to draw eager viewers seem upset that the public media can be used to represent more than one view--their own.
Besides, with Josh Brolin (aka W in a recently released film) as host and Tina Fey as a returning guest, there are certain to be plenty of opportunities to criticize the current administration and those who would like to do better for the next four years.
Take a deep breath and watch the show--or don't--but there will be liberals, moderates, and conservatives laughing tonight.
Palin: 'It would be fun to meet her, imitate her and keep on giving her new material.'
----
Giving her new material?
Im sure that won't be a problem for you, Palin.
Its amazing 42% support McCain-Palin, even after voting in
imbeciles like Bush - Cheney.
The poor educational system in this country is the
single greatest threat to national and world security.
Shame on NBC to put Palin on SNL,a compassinless woman is not funny.
Don't they know her record on the environment and wildlife?
This woman doesn't represents women, she only represents greed, the 'oil prostitutes', petro-dollars and a complete lack of compassion and respect for God's creation.
I never liked SNL anyways a rarely found them funny.But now i'll never patronize their show, are they also so money hungry they had to bring her on the show?
Just watched SNL. It wasn't too bad, but seriously people, why did McCain pick a cheerleader? Because who she was in high school has nothing to do with who she is now, which is an educated, intelligent woman. But let's play that game for a moment.. who was John McCain? A fighter pilot. Who was Barack Obama? A Muslim community organizer. See, it's not so funny now is it? Maybe if everyone stopped being hypocrites, educated themselves on both candidates, and voted for someone not based on gender or race, America wouldnt be spiraling into a 3rd world. =)
RNNicole:
First off, lets just get some things layed out here. The 'he was just a community organizer' bs is getting old. Some points:
McCain:
-Long time Military Man
-Graduated 4th from the bottom of a very large (over 450ppl) Military Academy.
-Long time representative/senator.
Obama:
-Graduated top of his class at Harvard Law (huge accomplishment, tribute to his intellect)
-First african american president of such class.
-Community Organizer (why this is looked down upon mystifies me)
-11 years as Constitutional Law & Civil Liberties lawyer (would be nice to have a president so knowledgeable on the Constitution no?)
-8 years: state senate
-4 years: us senate (thats 12 years in the senate)
-Lots of work with the Chicago school district (yes Ayers was on a board with him at one point, and so were many other ppl including republicans)
Stop with the 'he's not experienced' bs. Palin, however, is. Less than one term as Gov, and Mayor of a very small town (14,000 ppl I believe).
