Secretly, satirists are hoping for the worst: a McCain/Palin victory come November.
Why, you ask?
Answer: Job Security
Tina Fey delivers another spot-on impersonation of Sarah Palin. Fey’s first Palin bit convinced her daughter, so much so that she said at last week’s Emmy’s that she didn’t want to play Palin anymore.
Nonetheless:
“Gov. Palin and Katie Couric get real and adorable”
When I first saw Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, I thought she looked like Tina Fey and imagined the elitist late-night sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live, would have a field day with Palin.
SNL wasted no time satirizing Palin last night with its opening sketch:
“A Nonpartisan Message from Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Hillary Clinton”
Best Juxtaposed Lines:
Clinton: “I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy."
Palin: “I can see Russia from my house.”
Best Straight Talk:
Clinton: “I invite the media to grow a pair and if you can’t, I will lend you mine.”
This line especially hit home after Team McCain and the GOP Machine called for a jihad on the press at its widely covered Republican National Commercial.
The latter may be "The Campaign to Nowhere's" undoing, for it may work on the GOP base, but it is likely to push the Independents into Obama’s camp.
