The true extent to which Palin-mania has come to dominate the TV news cycle hit home for me last night as I flipped through the channels on the Palin campaign’s charter flight from Reno to Denver. Within a period of about a half hour, I caught the much-anticipated debut of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night,” as well as seperate Palin documentaries on MSNBC and CNN.
Tina Fey was such a dead ringer for Palin that I was tempted to open the curtains that separate the governor and her staff from the media to make sure she was still on the plane and hadn’t managed to sneak off to Manhattan to appear live on the show.
One of the more biting pieces of satire came at the beginning of the sketch when Amy Poehler’s rendition of Hillary Clinton standing beside Palin said, "I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy.”
"And I can see Russia from my house,” Fey as Palin replied.
According to her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt, the real Sarah Palin had a good laugh along with the press corps in the back of the plane and millions of Americans at home.
“She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween,” Schmitt said.

Touche! ;^)
The SNL skit is hilarious, includes ‘cankles’.
I saw that and was cracking up. Can someone please tell me what a MILF is? I have no idea what it could mean.
That's pretty hilarious if true.
You don’t want to know.
It’s about mothers-in-law and the F word. Crude and rude expression.
Off topic, is everyone here using the beta version of FR? I’ve had serious FR withdrawals for hours and saw the beta link version to here on the Yahoo group.
There are a ton of people out there who are unable to get FR to load.
I am using beta right now and am very happy. I was having serious with-drawls without FR and am happy to get on here with the beta version.
It’s actually a compliment, in a crude way. A (M)other (I)’d (L)ike to (F)**k. Sorry, if offend anyone, but it was a question that deserved to answered.
Fox News is showing the skit on this YouTube video. Something more funny than the skit are the liberal Obamanoids posting their hateful comments and Hillary supporters saying “Fox News was the only network to give Senator Clinton fair airtime” a Nader guy fighting the Obamanoids...civil war among the libs. LOL!
Check out the comments and post and keep them beating each other up.

Are you SURE that wasn’t Sarah Palin? LOL! I couldn’t believe how much they look alike.
Very, very funny
While the opening skit was pretty ‘even handed’, there were several jokes in the weekend update segment where SNL clearly closed ranks around barry 0 by zinging Palin whenever they could.
It’s ironic considering how they skewered the media for being so blatantly pro-obama when hillary clinton was battling for the nomination.
They seemed to be following the dnc talking points right along with the rest of the media. I expect nothing less than a Palin “bashfest” from this point forward.
You may be upset about MILF. But there are plenty of women with kids that I work with that love to call themselves “cougars.” Cougar this, cougar that. “You go, coug’!” That’s almost as bad to me.
>>>I can’t believe they used that on SNL.
The Left knows no bounds . . . and is opposed to any.
Please don’t be surprised.
Yup. Access via "Site B". Strange thing is I'm already signed in on entry. Hmmm.

At so many levels, this is an historic election cycle . . . and an educational one for many (well, for some) on the left.
And, yes, the libs and the dem far left is decomposing before our very eyes.
I am here thru Beta. I saw it on the yahoo site. *whew*
Is the regular site back up, or am I just one of the lucky ones that can’t get on? Yes, I am logged in. ;^)
If you google MILF, DO NOT click on the links or you will be very, ah, surprised.
I just learned the Beta version from the Yahoo Group, and THANK YOU, whoever you are who put it there.
I’ll repeat it here for anyone who might see it when FR is back to normal:

Make a note of it for future breakdowns.
Rich, That Lady is fast on her feet!
Cougars? Like a cat? I don’t understand.
Close but no cigar. It stands for Mother I would Like to....
The things we learn from teenagers.....
Don't know alpha from beta, but I was off for a least 2 hours. Was afraid Biden would step down and I'd miss it.
Obama bowed out to SNL, Palin was there (sort of), once again, it’s all Sarah 24/7. The skit made her even more lovable and endearing to the American Public. Remember the old saying, “Love me or hate me, they’re talkin about me.”
The longer this continues, the more Obama shrinks.
Tina Fey did a great impression of Palin!!!
I love good impressions..I posted one on youtube a while back, it’s a Burt Lancaster Impression by Frank Gorshin...it’s a hoot!

There’s going to be some pretty vicious satire against her so if I were her I would make use of “no comment” a lot...
Not. She didn't come close to capturing Sarah's incandescent radiance. Just a cardboard imitation. But I'm really glad to hear Sarah got a kick out of it.
What’a a flerve—the word Hillary used?

If anyone is registered at FreeDominion.com, they my want to give the Freepers there in the Freeper Guest Room a heads up to the beta link. I signed up an hour ago for an account and they have yet to send me a confirmation e-mail so I have no posting privileges. It's frustrating.
Lots of folks out there going through serious FR withdrawals. :(
Fairly different from someone yelling at a friendly reporter for mentioning his big ears.
Man, Tina Fey IS a dead ringer for Gov Palin, isn’t she!
obambi was a no show and IT SHOWED. He got left with two black eyes after that SNL show.
Nope, you’re not the only one. I still can’t access FR the regular way. Glad I saw the link at Yahoo as well.
I thought she said FLIRG, which I understand to mean First Lady is Really a Guy.
Oh yes, the big ears and it hurts his feelings. How could I have forgotten. It seems that I haven’t been thinking of him much lately, for some reason all I see or hear about is this lady Governor from Alaska.
I thought it was hilarious! Just saw it an hour ago.
Ewww! That’s even worse! My son turns twelve in November. I guess I have a big learning curve ahead of me. LOL (sort of)
Yep, some of the Hillary supporters will never be the same. They’ve switched news channels on TV and found out they kind of like FReepers.
Leave it alone. It is a polutant for your mind.
No - I tried the beta, but the regular version is running about 1.5 times as fast right now. (it was waaay slow a few hours ago)
Cougars are older women who go after younger men (eg. Demi Moore & Ashton Kuchar...Demi is a cougar).
Uhhhhh no. It's ultra vulgar. Google it if you must.
No clue. I’m as curious as everyone else.
Oh. Actually, this SNL was hilarious. I doubt anything will be this funny on this show again.
