Tina Fey for Vice President!
The current state of politics, particularly with the addition of Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket, is a big bummer in all seriousness, but the silver lining is that it makes for great comedic material. I’ve been particularly enjoying the stuff coming from The Daily Show, especially Sarah Palin Gender Card and Bristol Palin’s Choice. The opening of last Saturday’s SNL, however, really takes the cake, mainly because of Tina Fey’s incredibly awesome impersonation of Sarah Palin.
You know what’s even funnier? This statement in response to the skit from one of John McCain’s top aides Carly Fiorina:
“The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial,” Fiorina told MSNBC earlier Monday. “I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes, I would say, sexist in the sense that just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance.”
OMG LOL. Methinks someone doesn’t get the joke or the word “sexism“. Man, women are so dumb.
While I disagree with “women are so dumb”, I do think that Carly Fiorina was a horrible surrogate and it is no surprise she won’t be on TV much anymore.
I agree with your comments regarding Sarah Palin. I can’t believe they are pushing the “I can see Russia so I know foreign policy” angle. My favorite counter is “And when I look out my window I can see the moon. Doesn’t make me a ****ing astronaut now, does it?”
Just out of curiosity, do you also follow the Colbert Report?
I check out both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report casually through their websites since I don’t have cable. I’ve wasted a lot of time watching The Colbert Report’s Better-Know-A-<something> segments.
