Climate Change or Biblical End of Days: Palin Parodied in SNL Reprise of VP Debate

Boston Globe: In the Saturday Night ''debate,'' Fey/Palin thanked America for letting her speak without a media filter that asked pesky followup questions and cared about syntax. She played a flute during her self-declared ''talent portion'' of the debate, and said, regarding same-sex benefits, that ''marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers."

So this what passes for comedy now? No wonder SNL can’t draw flies.

Mary   October 5th, 2008 - 9:13 am

Hope Pennsylvania and Delaware can laugh at themselves. Glad I saw the skit here…I don’t watch SNL..I watch the news. Silly me. Once again, SNL has managed to come through as a biased show. Scranton a cesspool? I’m sure they appreciate that. Ha ha!! let’s all laugh about that

wowee   October 5th, 2008 - 9:15 am

SNL has been dead for a long time. Even when I stop to look for a moment with the hopes maybe just maybe they will do somthing that is smart and funny.. Nope just dumb self serving, not funny junk. Loren Michaels needs to retire and retire that boring excuse for comedy.

God's Child   October 5th, 2008 - 9:37 am

Just realize that not only PALIN was made fun of. They hit all three: Biden, Ifell, and Palin. So all of you SENSITIVE Palin supporters don’t start your whining about sexism or bias.

OBAMA/Biden’08 Baby!!!!

Dave, Tn   October 5th, 2008 - 10:00 am

They did a good job on mocking all involved. Make sure Tina Fey has work for at least 12 more years!!! Vote Palin/McCain!!

goaty   October 5th, 2008 - 10:23 am

biblical end of days… a union between 2 unwilling teenagers… I tolerate them with all my heart… these are excellent examples of SNL reading between Sarah “speaks in tongues” Palin’s lines. Spot on as always and fair in pointing out Biden’s foibles SNL nailed it. Palin is weak minded and strongly convinced of a very narrow white christian agenda. Clearly very few Americans share her dimly lit world view.

AnonymousMax   October 5th, 2008 - 10:27 am

I’m surprised that no one picked up on her metathesis pronunciation of nuclear (a la George Bush).

aj   October 5th, 2008 - 10:43 am

You know, all politics aside…That crap is so seond rate! What’s so damned funny about this mimicing? It’s no wonder SNL doesn’t have the following it did 20+ years ago!! They keep talking about it like this particular Palin skit is the world’s greatest gag?? It’s a real bore to watch…….talentless drones.

HWP   October 5th, 2008 - 10:44 am

Hey Child !!
Nobody’s whining…SNL is just bias….they certainly didn’t bother to talk about Biden and his 14 lies or Alzheimer moments..they just suck.

Mary   October 5th, 2008 - 10:51 am

To Goaty

Oh Please, want to make fun of Hussein and P”o”kistan and T”o”liban. Sounds just like a regular middle easterner. GET OFF FOOL

God's Child   October 5th, 2008 - 10:55 am

Hey HWP !!

They certainly didn’t bother to talk about McCain and his Keating 5 scandal and HIS Alzheimer(he wouldn’t be able to remember anything with out Lieberman holding his hand) moments…you just suck.

They also ran this very close to real life skit last night. Even worked in Herbert and Marion Sandler. Read about them and others here.

R.J.   October 5th, 2008 - 11:46 am

The real joke is the McCain campaign. If Palin was a man with the same qualifications and experience, saying the same things, McCain would be laughed out of the Republican party. And now she has managed to put both of her feet in McCain’s mouth, by saying that Obama runs with terrorists, reaching a new low in gutter politics. She’s proved that the Republican party is all about lies, hate, and deceiving the American people. She has proved that McCain cares nothing about this country, and only about stealing the White House by hook or crook.

get overit   October 5th, 2008 - 11:50 am

Just another socialist network show that is becoming as unwatchable as the view. They don’t even show their lifeless portrait of Obama that they had on when they were mocking clinton. Hmmmmm wonder why?

Alex   October 5th, 2008 - 11:54 am

Senator Obama runs with crooks, liars and thieves.
That is on public record. You are judged by the company you keep. So on that basis alone, he should not be allowed to visit the White House, let alone invited to live there.

In terms of Man-Made Global Warming… Scientifically, it’s all horse manure! It’s a political agenda to wreck the modern western world economy.

It has been proven that the average temperature of the earth has been in fact cooling, not warming. We really can’t do anything about it anyway since it is a natural cycle of sun activity and thus beyond the range of ignorant politicians.

Gus   October 5th, 2008 - 12:00 pm

At one point they seem to allude (in an attempt at humor) that Palin consulted with a 3rd grade class for her debate. In the actual debate it was determined that Palin spoke at a grade level of 9.5 compared to Biden who spoke at a grade level of 7.8.

It wasn’t very funny expecting perhaps the part were “Ifill” plugs her book. The actor portraying Biden was too stiff reflecting the typical unrehearsed and teleprompted style for SNL. Perhaps if they taped his eyes up to look more like real Biden’s face which looks obviously treated with Botox and looking strikingly like a Klingon.

SNL/NBC Ankle Grabbers   October 5th, 2008 - 12:19 pm

Poor, stupid Tina Fey! You’re not that bright, but you’re a liberal and you wear black glasses, so the left falls for that (see: Janine Garafalo). Don’t you and your liberal friends realize that Obommunist will seize your million dollar properties and re-distribute them to the poor and lazy?

Wake up you liberal followers! You’re giving the thief the keys to the bank!

jlew   October 5th, 2008 - 12:20 pm

there’s nothing worse than a bumpkin pretending to be an elitist snob….well wait yes there is…..it’s a little “college children” pretending to be one.
Take a scan of your W2 or your 1040 from last year….sanitize your name and address and social security number and then post it here.

I thought so.

people who work and pay real taxes in significant amounts DO care about issues other than Bruce Springsteen, Saturday Night Live, Barbara Streisand, Jay-Z, Shakira and the entire lot of them. So make fun of Sara Palin all you want….but show us your sanitized W2 or 1040 from last year first…have Obama’s staff photoshop it for you like they did his birth certificate.

I thought so.

If you don’t pay any federal income tax and over 35 percent of everyone in this country do not….then keep your fat traps shut about something you dont even pay. consider yourselves to be the “winners in lifes loser lottery”

fishwife   October 5th, 2008 - 12:23 pm

okay goatie–try using a comma for a change. and to intentionally begin a sentence with a lower case letter just to insult your audience is not only bad writing, it’s bad manners. you clearly suck.

fishwife   October 5th, 2008 - 12:29 pm

And Gus–Mr. Passive Voice: To what organization using what reading scale do you attribute the 9th grade reading level “fact” you threw out? I teach 9th grade reading and I know not a single one of my students understood a gosh darn thing that bimbo said.

the Dude   October 5th, 2008 - 12:35 pm

Hey God’s child, nice try you freaking moron. You can repeat Keating 5 and McCain as much as you want. Anyone with half a brain knows this is a red herring.

get overit   October 5th, 2008 - 12:41 pm

Why is this skit being reported like it is news? There are a lot of idiots out there that will think it is the real debate. Oh ya thats SNL’s goal. sorry I forgot…

God's Child   October 5th, 2008 - 12:48 pm

Hey the Dudette:

Red herring all right. I’m just implementing a little Sean Hannity strategy, repeating it over and over. Here goes:

KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..KEATING 5…..

OBAMA/BIDEN ‘08 BABY!! I LOVE IT!!

Scott k   October 5th, 2008 - 12:54 pm

I have the utmost, highest respect for John McCain. I believe he is a good man, a man of his word. I do not approve of his political views, I have kept a close eye on him since his first run for Pres. He is a disappointment in many ways. I absolutely am disgusted by Obama, and the harm he will do to this country. I will vote McCain in protest to Obama.
I adore Sarah. She is a breath of fresh air. I will vote for McCain to put Sarah on her stepping stone to the Presidency. She will be the first female President. I am certain of this. Sorry Hillary, Sarah has real character, she’s not fake, and artificial like yourself, or Obama for that matter.

Obama symbolizes everything that is wrong in this country. He is evil personified. He is NOT presidential material. He must be stopped. I believe he will be. If your sitting on the fence, undecided. Just look closely at Obama’s past. It is a good indicator of what he would do as President. His only achievement as Senator is writing 2 books. All words, no substance.

Abitrary Relativist   October 5th, 2008 - 1:06 pm

I just think it’s wonderful that musicians and TV/film celebrities can spread their sexual (and other) diseases to thousands of people worldwide with impunity, and then have the media instantly deliver their ignorance-based bigotries about politics as if their opinions have value.

Don’t even breath around celebrities or media people. (Look up Hepatitis A methods of transmission and then think about it.)

My t-shirt says “F All Celebrities (disease spreaders)”

Mary 2   October 5th, 2008 - 1:39 pm

Sarah Palin is the greatest candidate to ever she will be presidente some day soon because Jaun McCaine will either die or be removed from the ticket. After she gets elected she will get rid of you liberals who have insulted her insulted god insulted America. We will not stand for it, we will stand for her.

Sara Palin is the only smart intelligent honest and God fearing candiadte among all three, the others are liars and cheats and un Christian, everybody knows that. You can argue you marxists talking points all you want but it does not change the Truths, may god have mercy on your soul.

Steve F   October 5th, 2008 - 1:40 pm

“Gods Child” sounds like at least knows his creator. But I rather doubt he knows who his Daddy is…Typical Obama Supporter!Obama’s supporters, Abortion folks, Gay folks, welfare/something for nothing, mock “religious” folks, and the usual Left Wing bottom feeders. Nobama, Noway, NoHow! Obama Liar, friend of Terrorist, Racist preacher, America Hating Wife. Who wants to see that Big Ugly Moose in the Whitehouse,,,they both want a America that is a land of LOSERS so they feel comfortable.

Pete D   October 5th, 2008 - 2:25 pm

Steve F, you and the rest of you lying liberal loosers can jump in the lake. I am tired of supporting you lazy unwed muthas. Get a job or get lost!!!

AbuBakerSmith   October 5th, 2008 - 2:40 pm

Palin is a joke, if she were a Man running with her exact same qualifications she would be the Democratic nominee and the less experienced Obama would be her VP nominee. Then Biden could get on the ticket with McCain since he offered to share his ticket with McCain when he ran.

Andrew   October 5th, 2008 - 2:50 pm

R.J. you are not very smart. These ties that Obama has to Ayers are very very true and until these obama supporters pull their heads out of his a** they will not be able to believe any hard hitting facts about Barack and his horrible past. Suing banks for not lending enough high risk loans! hmmmm isn’t that the reason why we our economy is in the dumps!!? I am also very pissed at McCain and Obama for supporting that 700B bill . Oddly enough Ron Paul seems to be the only one who understood this.

Nate K   October 5th, 2008 - 2:56 pm

Have they ever mocked Obama on SNL? I am asking, i never watch it, but you’d think they would be fair and mock both sides.

BPQ   October 5th, 2008 - 3:03 pm

I smiled thinking of this latest, tired and predictable example of smug, sneering lberal Caucasian elitism as I filled out my absentee voting card. Oh, dear Ms. Fey, it’s truly hilarious when you your chosen candidate loses and you are forced to support a corrupt extremist like Obama. I laughed as I blackened the oval for McCain/Palin and circled their names for good luck.

R.J.   October 5th, 2008 - 3:07 pm

“Get a job or get lost!!!” Yo pinhead, Shrub sent all the jobs to China and India. Guess you’re too ignorant to know that this country has lost 750,000 jobs already this year. Does your job a McDonalds pay your bills?

The smelly c*nt is really showing the desperation of McShrub. All you CONs try not to gag on the liberalism that’s going to be rammed down your throats for the next eight years. I’m sure going to enjoy it. You can stick a fork in the right wing fascists, they’re done.

BPQ   October 5th, 2008 - 3:13 pm

‘R.J.’: If you will disclose the general geographical area you reside, I will gladly arrange to have a local colleague consult with you for your obvious anger management and mood dysregulation issues. The free and open expression of ideas and opinions in our society does not typically mean one writes in the unnecessary, hateful, and inappropriate fashion you chose to do so. Such unprovoked negative emotion is most often derived from significant childhood/developmental trauma or stressors. Where is the pain REALLY from? Projecting it onto a President or political party is a convenient cover. Please get some help.

R.J.   October 5th, 2008 - 3:30 pm

BPQ,ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONs can dish it, but they sure can’t take it.

Enough with Palin, this is getting boring!! Why don’t you switch to Obama and his bomber 60’s friends or McCain???

fresca   October 5th, 2008 - 4:31 pm

Tina Fey looks so much better with the Palin look than she does off stage. If I was her I’d keep that look. And as far as the gay marriage thing goes. Obama & Biden does NOT endorse gay marriage. Obama’s church for over 20 years with Rev.Wright, I’m willing to bet are very anti-gay marriage. JMO

Ted   October 5th, 2008 - 4:49 pm

It must suck to be republican, They have no sense of humor and can never admit a mistake ever. They controlled the house and senate for 1.5 decades and where veto proof 6 years, but its all the democrats fault. Just answer why the Rs spent money like drunken sailors and allowed millions of jobs to go oversees. Greed is the answer. They call themselves christians ” the Love of money is the root of all evil” and Jesus gave all his to the poor. As a Independent, I dont like Bill Clinton but quit blaming him for everything including cancer, you loose all credibility. If you dont make millions you are not in their club . Only a pawn so they can control with divisive cultural ideas they really dont care about. Their true beliefs are power and money. Wake up! They can alway move to another country after they rape this one.

Spork   October 5th, 2008 - 5:10 pm

Obamaism is the Scientology of modern American politics.

Obamabots are the Scientologists.

True believers.

Lee   October 5th, 2008 - 5:51 pm

Hopefully someday a 38-year old mean spirited woman will make Alice Zenobia Richmond’s life a living hell because of her mother.

(Tina Fey should be ashamed of herself, but she won’t be because she has no moral compass and doesn’t have a clue that a mother should be a role model.)

Pondering   October 5th, 2008 - 7:51 pm

Thank you Jace for the list of videos to look at I will indeed share them. OORAH!!
And Ted you ain’t no Independent at least not an independent thinker.

bobn   October 5th, 2008 - 9:50 pm

I’m for McCain/Palin and I still thought this was f’ing hilarious. The Fey lines on global warming as a “natural part of The End Of Days” and the line that “marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers” just killed me.

That said, OBama runs with terrorists (Ayers, various radical Muslim professors), is in favor infanticide (voting 4 times agains the Illinois BAIPA) and lies about it, doesn’t believe in the 2nd amendment and lies about it, and just doesn’t get it about the war on terror.

I’ve voted Democrat for 24 years, but not this time.
