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.

It’s something of a compliment. It entered the pop culture through the film ‘American Pie’.
Thanks
FR has been down for me and many other Freepers for hours. There are a couple of back-up sites when FR goes down. One is FreeRepublic2 at Yahoo groups and the other is our sister site (of sorts) in Canada, FreeDominion.com. They have a Guest Room for Freepers.
Long story short, I found my way back into FR from a posting at the Yahoo group. http://beta.freerepublic.com/tag/news-forum/index?tab=comments
I wasn’t aware FR could be accessed this way. I guess this old dog can learn some new tricks. :)
Teenagers are a lot of fun.
LOL! I am soooo looking forward to the teenage years. Scary!
Unlike Saracudas who hunt, skin, dress and eat wild game.
DUmmies have threads saying the press in the front of the plane was howling and the back of the plane with the Palins was silent.
I think most know what a MILF is, but what is the acronym that the blonde girl alluded that she googled?
Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
“Cougars are older women who go after younger men”
Funny. Older men who go after younger women are ‘normal’.
***She didn’t come close to capturing Sarah’s incandescent radiance.***
I’ll agree with you about that, LL. But then, WHO does?
Not "in-law", but otherwise, yeah, that's it.
As more FReepers learn about the beta site, it is slowing down, like the main site.
I’m only on because someone posted about a “beta” site, whatever that is...I haven’t been able to log on for over five hours.
I agree! I loved it
I wonder how Tina feels now about all the current "knee jerk vile" being directed at Sarah. I betcha she's a Palin supporter.
Unfortunately, I’ve noticed the same thing. :(
Hang in there Sarah Palin!
it’s “mothers i’d love (to) f***” - gross, i know.
If she's smart, she'll keep her opinions to herself like she appears to be doing. She obviously has the inside track to play Palin in the movie The First Woman Vice President and President.
