PRICELESS PERFORMANCE!!! She was spot on. In fact, it took me a few seconds to realize it was Tina and not Palin. She was hilarious!! :D

    From day 1 that Palin was introduced as the VP nominee it was clear that Fey would be doing a guest spot on SNL just to play her. I love Tina Fey!

    I loved the news bit talking about Matt Cassell taking over for Tom Brady. "His inexperience as a backup has earned him the nickname Sarah Palin" .....classic!

    Really?

    First time I even saw Sarah Palin, I thought, "Why did John McCain choose Tina Fey as his running mate?"

    Yes she is.

    SNL has gone the way of the dinosaur and MTV though.

    I think it was pretty clear that Michael Phelps has zero hopes of an acting career after his days of competitive swimming are over.

    True, but he won't need it. He's got endorsements up the wazoo. I heard in an interview that he and a partner have gone into business (government may be involved) to provide swim centers to underprivileged areas of the country where kids have never even seen a pool much less have the opportunity to swim.

    That's cool. He seems like a cool dude. I just thought his acting was so bad that it was funny.

    I like how she clearly doesn't even understand the meaning of the word "sexist".
    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.

    Um... surely that's political bias, more than gender? Dumb broad. :D

    i was going to quote the same line. absurd. they were faulting obama for months about playing the race card, now they pull out the sexist card every chance they get. i guess pc is only a bad thing when the other side is doing it.
    and like that... he's gone.

    This week's was even better.

    One thing that struck me in the Couric interview, is that Fey used some exact quotes as answers, still got laughs.

    Now Palin has to break free from the impersonations and the picture it's painting of her. Many will start to believe what is being shown.

    I said this last week, kind of ... I think what I said was, when she gets flustered, her accent gets much more pronounced ...

    she'd be pretty easy to play poker with ... unless she brought her shotgun.

    I think that's common with accents though. My wife is from Massachusetts, and normally doesn't have any accent at all, but when she gets angry, flustered or really any excited emotion, the new england/boston accent comes out a bit.

    I'm originally from Boston ... my accent really only comes out when I'm drunk ... :D
