They didn't waste time getting in Tina Fey as Sarah Palin in the season opener of Saturday Night Live.

I was waiting for this. My wife even made the comment during Palin's speech at the RNC that she though she was Tina Fey and John McCain was just playing a big joke on everyone.
"Please ask this one about dinosaurs." CLASSIC!

"Let's perpetuate more lies"
It's SNL, it's comedy, it's jokes. Much like those told at the RNC like Palin getting more votes for mayor than Biden got for President, the about Palin opposing the Bridge to Nowhere when she supported, and John McCain's hilarious joke about how we must elect him because he's the only one who knows how to capture bin Laden.

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin actually looked more intelligent than the real Mukluk Messiah.

Muktuk Messiah is more to the point.

THANKS for the link.
Tina Fey nailed the Sarah Palin impression dead on. Her impression of Palin's "Fargo" accent was hysterical. Just great.

An instant political comedy classic!
The proverbial Emptry Dress and the ballsy street-fighter.
Obama should take a cue from Tina Fey and use humor to expose the Moose MILF.

That was another lie from the media.

Actually a "lie" from Dexter Clark of the AIP. Short video. I've watched both videos that this one was made from. Dexter Clark's 9+ minute one and Palin's welcome. Nothing is out of context. Clark (Vice Chairman of the AIP) says she was before she became a Republican.
Clark's wife has issued a retraction, saying even though Todd's been a member (many years) and S. Palin addressed an AIP convention, she hasn't personally been a member. Then Clark's wife went on to say S. Palin was the bestest woman evar.

So Murphy, as a woman, what do you think of how McCain treats the women in his life?

When I Googled Flurge a news story captured just what I thought . . .
Tina Fey launched a brilliant Sarah Palin impersonation in the opening skit of the show. Fey nailed the role of Palin spot-on as the two bantered about the role of sexism in the presidential race.
Fey was so convincing as Palin that at times it was hard to realize it was not actually the Alaskan governor standing on stage in a red blazer striking sultry poses and mimicking Palin holding a shotgun.

Brilliant! Enjoyed it!
Women have come a long way and from hence Americans will have no hesitation to elect a female for President when the right one shows up.
