If Sarah Palin is elected this November, Tina Fey will have steady employment for 16 years. Her impersonation was unbelievably spot on.

She even had the accent down.

If McCain wins I give Palin 4 years in the spotlight, tops.

If McCain wins and decides not to seek re-election, then Palin will be the Republican front-runner in 2012.

She will not. She is a joke and people will soon realize it. She has no chance of winning a national election on her own.

Keep underestimating her.

Really???? Fey gave her a Minnesota/Wisconsin/N.D. accent, "doncha know".

Palin had a pretty good response to it.

>>>On Sunday, a campaign adviser confirmed that Ms. Palin had, indeed, watched the “Saturday Night Live” skit from her screen at the front of the plane. “She thought it was quite funny,” the adviser said in an email response to inquiries, “especially because the governor has dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween.”<<<

I did not see the show but I have it saved on my DVR.

I like Tina Fey very much. That is pretty much all I want to say on the topic.

Tina Fey did a good job and Michael Phelps was awful. Just as bad was Shawn Johnson and a quick guest spot on ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."

The SNL opening (and Phelps if so desired) can be seen on nbc.com. Shawn Johnson's cameo is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMxFigOI2xE

By the way, how does Sarah Palin "dress up as Tina Fey" for Halloween?? I mean other than looking like her, which she does every day, what else is there to that costume???

Perhaps that was the joke

I didn't think that was a joke - I read that to be the official comment from her campaign staff? Maybe it was a joke and out of context and in print it appears serious, but maybe the staffer was laughing as she said it? Who knows, it just sounded odd to me!!

Because Sarah Palin is so much bigger than Tina Fey?? I'd put them at roughly the same size!! (other than height, I don't know how tall they both are)

The episode sucked, but the Palin/Clinton cold opening has become an instant classic.

If you can't view the video on YouTube, Crooks and Liars has posted the video in Windows Media and QuickTime formats.

Phelps should stick to swimming.

It was as cringe worthy as Mark Spitz appearing on the Bob Hope Show after Munich. Good kids. Not good actors.

I thought it was very funny.

What's even funnier than the impersonations themselves was what they were saying. I like a write who can put into words what others are saying in hushed tones but which are truer than the actual participants want them be.

In the sketch, either Palin or Clinton (I can't remember which but I think it was Clinton) refers to Palin as "wearing Tina Fey glasses."

The rest of the show was horrible though.

I don't know why they let Andy Sandberg make his short movies, because they are getting really stupid.

That skit about the homely children was just ridiculous. They weren't that homely.
