HANNITY: One last question that I didn't ask you: Did you watch Tina Fey on "Saturday Night Live"?

PALIN: I watched with the volume all the way down and I thought it was hilarious, she was spot on.

HANNITY: Do you think you could play her one day?

PALIN: Oh absolutely. It was hilarious. Again, I didn't hear a word she said, but the visual was spot on.

waht

it's her "didn't inhale" moment

wtf why would Palin "play" Tina Fey? fuckin Hannity.

HANNITY: One last question that I didn't ask you: Did you watch Tina Fey on "Saturday Night Live"?

PALIN: I can actually see "Saturday Night Live" from land here in Alaska ... from an island in Alaska.

I missed the last part of that exchange:

HANNITY: Has anyone ever said that before? There's a similarity...

PALIN: They've been saying that for years up in Alaska. In fact, I dressed up as Tina Fey once for Halloween. We've been doing that before Tina Fey's being doing that.

hannity is like a living 'in soviet russia' motivator

PALIN: I watched with the volume all the way down and I thought it was hilarious, she was spot on.

if you believe that, i've got a bridge to nowhere to sell you

PALIN: They've been saying that for years up in Alaska. In fact, I dressed up as Tina Fey once for Halloween. We've been doing that before Tina Fey's being doing that.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY WITH THAT LAST SENTENCE????

i was bees tina fey. my whole arm was bees tina fey.

CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN IN ALASKA BEFORE ALL YOU FOOLS

We in Alaska have been dressing up like Tina Fey before Tina Fey has been dressing up like Tina Fey.

good way to weave your sub-obscurity level of fame into the I'm-a-maverick party line

guys we need to get back to what's real: hating her because she's a woman, who did it on her own.

I think this is my favorite handler/journalist exchange of the season so far:

Steve: I think what Brian, what Brian’s intent, I know what Brian’s intent to say was this: Is we won’t be intimidated by the Obama campaign or by a lot of the pro Obama media that disregards fact because they’re political inconvenient for Obama. Every ad that we put out, and I’m happy to set up a reading room and a table on any of these ads to go through his record. It’s factually accurate. For example, Barack Obama voted in the Senate for a tax increase budget resolution for people making 42,000 a year. That happened. In the space-time continuum that we all understand, all right, he made that vote. It happened. It’s real. On issue after issue we have represented his record in an accurate and a fair and in a fair way. Certainly, there is no symmetry between what the obama campaign is saying about john mccain particularly with this immigration ad, and you know many others with what we have said. We are talking about Senator Obama’s record. The ads are factual. And we will continue to talk about his record. And the fact that there is a lot of people in the media who when we criticize Obama rush forward with no hesitation at all to defend and protect him says something about the state of journalism in America, much more than it does about our campaign.

Question: The space time continuum?

It's not even October and Schmidt's losing it!

Luntz, who claimed credit for branding the "Contract With America" in 1994 and shifting debate over global warming to "climate change,"

hunh at that second bit

PALIN: I was dressing up like famous comediennes way before I got famous enough to be satirized by them.

Schmidt's trying to avoid losing the election before October

schmidt's a nerdy nerdy nerd nerd!! he was going off about dungeons and dragons a couple weeks ago

Roll saving throw against Mordenkainen's magic meltdown.

really, God forbid Palin had to admit hearing Lorne Michaels-sanctioned toothless "good fun" at Palin's expense.

YESSSSSSS

I'm just going to do that after every time you pop up with your gutsy challenges to the status quo on these threads if that's okay

I just miss the last time SNL did actual satire, TB (ie, Aykroyd as Nixon and Carter).

Morbs, I thought the Palin/Clinton thing was tolerably good satire. Poehler/Clinton was obviously the funnier part.

i was just talking earlier, morbs, about how that was a terribly unfunny skit and i didn't understand why everyone was jizzing themselves over this. you have got some supporters in bococa who are with you on this one, sir!

the skit was ok, not that whether it's good or not is close to the point

the skit was totally funny

i'm sorry that i think the point of a comedy program on television is to be funny and/or amusing and/or entertaining in some fashion, gabbneb. i am such a retard.

I think slimy pols being scared of TV that mocks them as amiable dunces rather than vicious shits who need to be disemboweled is very much the point

i am responding to morbs, not you, schef

vicious shits who need to be disemboweled

yeah but my point still stands!

xpost lol that is an unfortunate turn of phrase isn't it

(my Tomboto impression, ladies & ducks)

would watch morbstv

Clinton: Sarah, you're a vicious shit that needs to be disemboweled.

Palin: No Hilary you are a vicious shit that needs to be disembowled.

Excuse me, I'll be back in a few minutes. I have to go disembowel a shit.
