Stayed up to watch the SNL skit and was totally disappointed; had wanted to see the two women together on stage and it just did not happen. I wonder why? Did Palin refuse to appear side by side with Fey because Fey has so successfully lampooned her without mercy? Cannot come up with a reason why Fey would refuse to appear side by side with Palin. Was totally gratified to see General Powell given the opportunity to lay out for everyone world-wide who catches MEET THE PRESS (not the know-nothings, unfortunately) the reasoning for voting the democratic ticket this time around. Speaking of generals, are you having a problem convincing some concrete-headed individuals that Obama’s middle name does not mean he is a Muslim terrorist? If so, I give you one of the greatest generals in this proud nation’s history, one who outranks Colin Powell, one of a very tiny number honored with the 5 stars of General of the Army: OMAR N. Bradley, hero of World War II. Many, many, many Arabs carry that name. It is not Arabian however, but Iranian (Persian)! I mean, that should make him even MORE of a terrorist threat, huh? Oh yes, we have buried him with the highest honors this country can convey.

It was an okay skit at the end. It showed she has a sense of humor, just as the Alfred Smith Memorial roast last week showed Obama and McCain to be pretty humorous, as well. But I was hoping for interaction between Tina Fey’s impersonation of Palin and Sarah Palin herself. Could’ve been a hoot, but, once again, the McCain campaign put a muzzle on her (pun intende).

Hats off to SNL for not changing one iota of their Palin skits. Palin may love the spotlight, but Mugsy made a good observation on her blog saying that with Palin it’s a matter of dissociation and that she will take “one for the party” in order to raise her own star. But when Baldwin thought that Palin was Tina and made all those comments., man that was brilliant!!!
