Despicable. Thanks for watching so I didn’t have to.
I wish for the good old days of Dan Akroyd and John Belushi.
The bit with Tina Fey was witty. This is just trashy!
Reminds me of Ms. Burleigh who wants all women to put on knee pads for Bill Clinton in gratitude for keeping abortion legal [more detail at bottom of my profile]. Here are a few other links regarding media bias:

The whole bloc of decent voters is watching...
I know this is pretty bad, but to my mind, they are ALSO making fun of the MSM/leftwind press!
Not saying they are trying to, but the effect is still the same.
I don’t know, it’s almost as big a send up of the press.
Haven’t seen it yet.
You would think the media might just have a glimmer of reality in that how they treat her now is going to affect
how she treats them when she is VP/P.
I taped the show tonight. The first part was fairly funny.
I’ll check this out.
It does sound almost like SNL was taking a swing at the Democrats for their idiotic slams of Palin over the last few weeks. This is about the only charge they haven’t made against Palin or her family.
Do you think that’s possible?
This is certainly in poor taste, but aren’t they actually mocking the PDS insanity of MSM reporters?
I'm not so sure. I didn't see it, but from what's printed here, it looks like somebody at SNL is making a good point.
It sounds like they were making fun of the media not the Palins.
have they no shame?
i’m sure that victims of incest will think that’s really funny.../s
maybe because i’m sane, i just can’t understand their depravity.
This kind of late night comedy has always been edgy and no holds barred. The skit actually poked fun at the effete NY “journalists.” There really was never an attempt to say the Palins were incestuous.
Shower time folks! Once again, it’s only white Christians you can make these kinds of despicable comments about on national TV and get scott clean away with it.
Sick.
But I wonder if the joke isn’t actually directed at the MSM, rather than at the Palin family?
My read from afar seems that it might be...
The opening sketch was weak and one-sided, which I'd expect of anything written by Franken. But I have to admit, they had a great sketch later, in which the editor of the NY Times called in 30 reporters who were being assigned to go to Alaska and dig up dirt on Sarah Palin. None of them had ever been anywhere except Manhattan, so they called in someone who'd worked in Alaska to answer questions. They were all things like, "I need access to at least two qualified psychiatrists" or "I'm a pre-operative transsexual; are there any gender-reassignment clinics in Alaska?" They were asked to identify pictures of things like a snowmobile ("Is it some sort of Baptizing machine?"). Gradually, they all fled in horror at the thought of being among normal Americans (several left when they found out Alaska doesn't have Thai food delivery).
The sketch ended with only three reporters going. We were informed with graphic cards that one was eaten by a polar bear, one humorless feminist reporter sued an Alaska town for $70 million for sexual harassment after a school board member called her "sweetie," and the third won a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative story on unproven, yet not disproven, incest in the Palin family. They were all presented as incredibly arrogant, provincial, elitist snots without the slightest regard for the accuracy of their slanderous reporting.
Best sketch of the year, so far.
I wonder what the reaction would be if anyone made jokes about Clinton doing Chelsea. Bill, not Hillary.;)
By the way, this kind of humor tends to backfire, because it’s too disgusting to repeat over the watercooler and it attacks the family in a personal way.
It doesn’t surprise me, however.
