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.

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.
>>>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.
Yup. Access via “Site B”. Strange thing is I’m already signed in on entry. Hmmm.
At the risk of sounding stupid. . . aww, what the heck...
What are you talking about???
Thanks! Just tried the regular version and I’m back on. This is running slow on beta. Back to the regularly televised program. :)

We have pretty good relationships with our two daughters. They tell my wife everything, and they will tell me the horrible things their friends do. I just shake my head.
It was funny the other day. Two idiots at the high school were suspended for having sex in the auditorium. The girls were all sitting around at lunch discussing what their parents reaction would be that getting THAT call. My wife and I came in #2 and #3 for going nuts over it. I felt pretty good about having that reputation.
I wouldnt mess with the parent that came in #1. She scares me...
Teenagers are a lot of fun.
Great impersonation!
I have it on great authority that it stands for Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
They did a good job. I laughed.
Not sure, but after googling around a bit, I found this:
