“Well, it was the cheapest of a cheap shots, and I am not going to let this go by without a challenge.”
1.) What is the “challenge” you’re announcing?
2.)Do you understand that the skit was satirizing the NYTIMES feeding frenzy over the Palin selection and nomination?
3.) Do you understand that the skit was satirizing the parochialism of some Manhattanites?
There is no need for sarcasm. And there is no need to put the word challenge in quotations marks. Challenge is a word everyone knows by common sense. It means to call into question. And that is what I have done. I have already challenged NBC by a phone call, and I will be writing letter to NBC and GE as well.
2.)Do you understand that the skit was satirizing the NYTIMES feeding frenzy over the Palin selection and nomination?
Yes, that is what SNL does. It satirizes. But it went over the line when it had a foolish reporter suggest Todd Palin committed incest with his daughters.

I know what satire is. And this was not satire. It was a cheap shot. I think the more important question is why any one would find a suggestion that Todd Palin committed incest with his daughters so hillarious? Have peoples' taste become that jaded?
I am not going to pretend that this was funny just because it was on SNL.
