I agree, though from what I have heard and read, it was an Alaskan aide to Palin who said that Palin had been to Iraq, not Palin.

But after the first five minutes, the rest of that show was pretty much unwatchable. A chuckle or two during Weekend Update, but the skits were terrible. Wow, I hadn't seen the show in quite awhile, now I remember why.
Yea the opening was very funny. I agree with you about Fey... the accent was perfect, and the mannerisms too. But yea, the rest of the show sucked. Phelps wasn't very good. They really let me down. I can't believe they didn't have a single skit with Obama and McCain. Maybe they had one planned before the real Obama canceled his performance.
I still think they will have some great moments this fall, especially with the debates.
Did any of you see MadTV? The guy impersonating Obama was spot on.

Apparently it's now off-limits to satirize Sarah Palin on SNL:
Carly Fiorina, spokeswoman for McCain, had this to say today:
"Well, I think that she looked a bit like her. I think that, of course, the portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial.
"I think that continues the line of argument that is
disrespectful in the extreme, and yes, I would say,
sexist in the sense that just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance. She has a lot of substance."

What ever happened to the SNL "Obama-gasm" skit they did a few months back? NBC pulled it off the web because it portrayed the unfair treatment Obama was getting compaired to Hillary. I'd LOVE to see that again. It was funnier than hell.
Just figure it out- there is a biased media in America. Pretty simple.

Where was Fiorina when they were spoofing Hillary? They've been goofing on her for years. Want some cheese with that whine?

What's the Obama-Gasm skit? The CNN Dem primary debate?
