Palin To Appear On SNL?
As Saturday Night Live viewers well know, Tina Fey's much-talked-about impression of GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has not been kind to the Alaska governor. It may even have played a role in fixing the public perception of the candidate, which, at least until last week's vice presidential debate, has largely been on the decline since she exploded onto the national scene.
Now the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Palin may appear on Saturday Night Live herself, potentially to make fun of Fey's American Express commercials. Bill Zwecker reports that while some McCain staffers want Palin to simply keep joking about Fey's impression on the campaign trail – she wrote "I'm not Tina Fey" on one backer's cell phone – others believe it is important that she appear on the show herself.
Palin would be far from the first candidate to appear on SNL after an unflattering portrayal. Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton appeared on the show standing next to an identically-dressed Amy Poehler, who had mockingly portrayed her, presumably to show she is in on the joke.

PS: It is sad and unfortunate that Hon, Temperamental and angry Maverick McCain has changed into bitter rather than better man.
And sylvie, as much as Gov. Palin scares me as a possible VP, she *does* seem to actually enjoy Tina Fey''s portrayal of her, from what I''ve read.
The angry Republican hate machine fueled up and ready to spew!

Thanks Sarah!
Also, I would be interested to know how many would be willing and ABLE to put themselves under such public scrutiny and come out with a rosier image than the one being portrayed on SNL of governor Palin.
You two are complete morons and its scary that we have a country full of idiots like you two with a vote. As far as your allegations about Obama''s ''57 state'' comment, why don''t you reference the sight that has it? Sounds like more republican lies. Since Obama finished FIRST in his class at Harvard Law School (not 5th from the bottom like McCain), and he was a professor of constitutional law, the last thing you or any of your moronic counterparts should do is question his intelligence. And as far as the prediction that Obama will ruin the economy, your republican counterparts have already done that. Explain to us how ''Keating 5 McCain''s'' policies will get us back on track. Keep in mind that it has been his deregulation policies that have gotten us into this mess. Obama has the following economic advisors to name a few: Warren Buffet, a former Fed Chairman, two former Treasury Secretaries, two former SEC Chairmen, John Corzine (former Goldman Sachs CEO). McCain has, well, the same people who preached deregulation and a bunch of oil execs. Even your hero Ronald Reagan hated McCain.
Again Today, reporters weren''''t permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park in Clearwater to talk to Palin''''s audience, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head to where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out, confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?" and turn the person around, Times staff writer Eileen Schulte wrote on the paper''''s Web site. When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn''''t allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, "NEGATIVE THINGS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN", Schulte reported.
What the heck is going on? No real interviews. Blame the questioner when Palin cannot answer simple question? Turn Palin into nothing more than a picture on an campaign ad?
There must be something VERY VERY WRONG WITH PALIN for McCain''''s Campaign to hide her in such an extreme way.
We are supposed to vote for someone who does not think the American People deserve questions answered?
The question is whether Americans will allow it. If we do not vote her down because of this practice, it will guarantee that political discourse will be permanently destroyed. Candidates will become nothing more than "advertising campaigns" with pictures and slogans but no real serious questions about who they are or what they will do.

dburfears agin! Didn''t I just give you a beat down in the other comments...
Why''d you move here? I wasn''t done...
bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Jeez, how many questions I want Obummer to answer!!!
How bout it there O''bamaski...
Why should I pay the UN 10 trillion dollars?
look it up, it''s the truth and it''s called the "Global Poverty TAX"
He had nothing to do with this other than taking the money and running three years before the meltdown...
Nice Guy, whole lot richer now, isn''t he Obama?
spank ''em, just a little and they go away...
Nobody wants to call me RACIST?
No body wants to play truth or dare?
Why don''t you just show the judge your birth certificate? And close that nasty Berg lawsuit thing? Why did you call in the ACORN lawyers to fight it? The longer you delay, the more he has cause to call you a lier... He''s now thinking there''s something to this, and he''s a DEMOCRAT...
For someone who''s so desperate to prove he''s a christian, why are you using CAIR lawyers?
How would you even know "Council on American-Islamic Relations" lawyers?
I''m just sayin, where there''s smoke theres fire, and I''m gagging on the smoke...
Tell''em to be careful, I hear he''s a good shot too...
Ohio is proud of John Glenn and John McCain both fighter pilots who served their country when their country was at war.
Barack Obama is dumb as a doorknob to raise Keating 5 and criticize John Glenn. You just put Ohio in the Red state column.
The people of Ohio are proud of John Glenn, a former Marine Corp fighter pilot during World War II.
John Glenn was awarded the Congressman Medal of Honor and flew aboard the space shuttle at the age of 77.
The Barack Obama campaign should stop criticizing an 87 year old war hero John Glenn by raising the Keating 5 scandal that happened over twenty years ago.
For two people who have no military service between them and have never worn the uniform, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a lot of gaul to obliquely criticize an 87 year old war hero and first man in space John Glenn.
It is also pretty stupid to criticize an Ohio native son when Ohio is in play during this election. Vote for John McCain, he respects veterans especially 87 year old fellow fighter pilots.
Vote John McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Do not confuse a war hero with a good president. Was Ulysses S. Grant a good president? He was a true war hero, graduated higher in his military academy than 894 out of 899 like McCain. they both have bank corruption on their resumes. Honor their war efforts, not the politics.

See all 44 CommentsMcCain says he knows how to win the war, ergo telling the generals what to do. Obama will listen to the generals that knows what is going on and how to do the right thing.
