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.

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.
