It’s great that Sarah Palin had a chance to do this. She definitely handled everything well and played along with the jokes a good amount. She is a really amazing person and a hell of a lot more respectable than Biden or Obama, in my opinion.

McCain 08!

I love Sarah Palin! I thought it showed a lot of character, poise, class and courage for her to go on SNL when they are clearly gunning for her failure. The thing i noticed the most was just how pretty Palin is…especially compared to Tina Fey. As far as all those people talking about her lack of qualifications – just what has Biden done? Besides lie about his academic achievements, make up stories about being under enemy gunfire in Iraq while in a helicopter and now warning the nation that we will have an international crisis within six months if Obama is elected. Just some facts about Sarah Palin – Americans first line of missile defense that protects the entire United States is 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard is also the ONLY National Guard on permanent active duty. Sarah Palin is the Commander-in-Chief of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska. Governor Sarah Palin is also the only Governor that is routinely briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security and counter-terrorism. Finally, Governor Palin has a higher classified security rating then both Biden and Obama. It is so disturbing how ignorant and niave people are regarding Governor Palin’s credentials.

This actually made me respect Sarah Palin since SNL is so obviously making fun of her and she took it all with grace and dignity. I would not have done the same.

@ Jill-say what? SNL is pop culture, and yes currently they are dealing with politics. Trent’s “blinders” (or lack thereof) have nothing to do with this as far as I can tell. Although I don’t want to speak for Trent.

Seems to me he’s merely finding funny, relevent events and info that relate to the popular culture of today and posting it for our pleasure. It would be different, you know, if he was linking to CNN articles or something…lighten up a bit!

LMAO – SNL women are absolutely CLASSIC!!!
think palin is absolutely ignorant, right-wing and bad news for the world, but props to her for going on the show.

however – love that they took the piss out of her!

Aidan: Um, people aren’t taking hits at Biden because he is not a completely clueless candidate like Palin. And yes, we are voting (or not) for Palin. As she stated in the debate, she seems to think the vp’s responsibilities can be stretched, and with McCain being 73 with past cases of melanoma, there is a strong chance she may have to take over as president.
And as for classy, giving a shoutout in the middle of a debate is not what I consider to be classy. Nor is aerial wolf hunting.

It’s kind of sad that Tina Fey is the best thing to happen to SNL this season and she’s not even on the show anymore! SNL has just been awful…

This coming from the guy who thought Michael Phelps was hilarious? I love you Trent, but I think sometimes your political blinders get in the way of your generally top-notch blogging!

Wow for the first time I actually felt sorry for Sarah Palin, who actually had to watch herself getting dissed IN FRONT of her and having to pretend it was funny. Her nomination as vice-president is such a big mistake, not just for America but for herself. Neither America nor Sarah should be having to go through this.

Sarah Palin is SO MUCH PRETTIER than Tina Fey.

I absolutely love and adore Sarah!

I have a lot of respect for her to show up on a set knowing that almost everyone there is gunning for her failure. Of COURSE they’re not going to write anything hilarious for HER to do… they want her to look as bad as possible. I wasn’t shocked at all by that. The bias of Hollywood makes me sick. Governor Palin rocks for not letting those bastards intimidate her!

this stuff was good but i was more entertained by the Mark Whalberg scenes. if you saw last weeks “mark whalberg talks to animals” skit by andy samburg then having mark appear on this weeks was hilarious! That was the highlight for me

It was hilarious, you all need to lighten up! She obviously knew they were mocking her, that’s what they’ve been doing for the past month, but she has a sense of humor about it. It was all in good fun.

To Lana and Hmanroe: She didn’t look uncomfortable at all, she looked like she was having a great time. You could even see she stuck around for the bow at the end :)

I still don’t understand why people are saying they won’t “vote” for Sarah Palin. She’s not running for anything! She was selected and accepted a place on a ticket, but people are voting either for McCain or Obama. Semantics maybe, but true. And you don’t see Biden being slammed in the manner of Palin. No one’s saying they won’t “vote” for Biden. At any rate, I give Sarah credit for showing up and taking a couple on the chin. It shows her strength of character. Whether you like her or not, whether you agree with her politics or not, you can’t say she isn’t classy.

Sarah is amazing and I love her for it! she wasn’t on SNL to convince voters people duh, she’s there to show her personality and to allow people to get to know a different side of her, hello.

It shows Sarah’s strength that she is able to laugh at herself. She knows she has more to offer than the liberal media would have you believe.

I love Sarah!

I loved how she bobbed her little head to the music. The best part was when “Todd” came out in his snow mobile costume HAHA

i thought it showed she was a good sport. they didn’t say anything new or different than they’ve said when she wasn’t there. i’m not a fan, but i was excited she was on. and i couldn’t get over how much that tina fey looks like her!

By: Lana

Lana — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:02:25 +0000

I can’t believed she played into their trap. It’s bad enough that she’s the butt of the joke and obviously uncomfortable but acting like she’s a good sport when she’s cringing and perhaps hurting a little inside – she went for it. It’s bad enough people subject you to insult but trying to act like it doesn’t matter to you when it does – people can tell. But nonetheless it was funny as hell watching her squirm and sit uncomfortably through the whole thing. Funny as hell!

I thought the Weekend Update skit was one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen. Did Sarah Palin not listen to the words of the rap song? I don’t agree with her politics, but I was embarrassed for her. And her husband…geez. It’s one thing to poke fun at yourself – it’s quite another to let people make a laughing stock of you.

SNL needs to bow down to politics for making them what they are this year :)

That link froze my computer! Thanks Trent! ;) All I’m saying is that Sarah Palin isn’t a writer..She didn’t write her skits so she shouldn’t be blamed for not being in the show more..She was in 2 separate sketches! I don’t think that’s so bad..I’m not a fan of Hillary so I guess that’s why I missed that sketch! I have no problems admitting that I was wrong, though..So touche, Trent.. :)
