Will Tina Fey return this Saturday? I bet she would double the audience this time
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 06:15 AM by symbolman
And SEVERELY piss OFF the McCain camp - they're already steamed, but since he "disappeared" the Idiot woman (per Begala), then there would be no one to call it "Sexist" this time, Right? I mean wasn't that her job?

WE WANT MORE TINA FEY!!

This time how about a PRESS CONFERENCE with Palin stopping to shoot a Wolf out the window, maybe talk about her "dead Moose" bounce, now that she's dropped TEN POINTS in Favorability in FOUR days (since Saturday) - Hey, you think that her dropping TEN POINTS since Saturday is just Coincidence? I mean, just Maybe TINA FEY Brought down Pork Barrel Palin with her ACT!

Well, alrightie then, MORE TINA FEY! Bring her ON - ENCORE! BRAVO! FORTISSIMO

Tina, take her down another 20 points this week, and we'll pick up the rest of Palin with a Handi-wipe and a Stick when you're done :)

1. I agree
She is better at being Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin is.

3. Don't forget to have her
Speaking in tongues and kneeling over a pile of books with a "flick of her Bic".

6. Palin is some REALLY low hanging fruit ...
I don't know if they can do it every week, but I see absolutely no reason why they don't ride it out.

It is just such a SPOT on imitation, and it really cuts to the heart of who the dolt is.

BUT, even more important, it has the publics interest - it ALWAYS comes down to money, and viewership is money.

7. Maybe the next one will be with Tina as Sarah Palin with McCain.
I THOUGHT I read that Darrell Hammond was doing an impression of McCain this season.

Maybe they can a do a thing with her speaking, while Hammond, as McCain, is looking at her ass, while twirling his wedding band. Or, I don't know. I'm no comedy writer.

8. shhhh, dont tell sarah. but hillary was getting beat up by them, and instead of whining
like a baby, and yelling sexism, she went on the show and laughed at and with self..... making it all better. took guts, and was a winner. maybe repugs wont be clever enough or able to set ego aside to figure it out

12. Biden should hire her
Since Palin won't take any questions except from a "deferential" reporter, Biden should hire Fey to go on the stump with him. He could put questions to her, and posture it as the great debates. As good as Fey is, a lot of the public probably wouldn't even know it wasn't Palin.

The risk here, of course, is that Fey is a whole lot smarter than Palin and might come off a lot better.

14. Great Moments in History
I just want to hear Biden say,

"Govenor. I knew Tina Fey. She's a great actress and humanitarian. Tina Fey's a good friend of mine. Govenor.. You're NO Tina Fey.."

C'mon Joe the Shark, DO IT! You KNOW you WANT TO!! :)

Maybe he could be a guest on SatNitLive, just a cameo, to do that JOKE.. it would SLAY america, and TOTALLY Piss of the McCain people..

But what could they do about Biden doing something like that? Complain?

FUCK 'EM.. :)

15. That would be hilarious

That would be an outstanding joke for anybody over about age 37. The younger people wouldn't get it at all. I don't know what SNL's demographics are these days. But it would be cool to see the YouTube clip of that joke ring up a couple million views.

17. Yeah, it's an oldie
but I think enough people would say, "Hey old man/woman.. What's so damned Funny that you're chuckling so hard over there? YOu owe me a keyboard!" and then we'd explain to the younger folks the Bensen call on Deer In the Headlights, as Opposed to "Moose" in the Headlights, show them the Moment in History on YouTube, and then I think you're right, it would garner about two million hits from Politics junkies of yore :)

But the cable stations would NOT stop talking about it..

Anyone want to send that in to Lorne Micheals? Obama? Maybe I can write to someone and suggest it..

NOW I want to see it happen :)

13. I can't imagine NOT taking the opportunity to do Palin.
Seriously--as a comedic performer if you KNEW you had the opportunity to be watched that closely I can't imagine anybody turning that role down. Not only is it an opportunity to get your name and image out there but it is something that really can impact on the election.

I think they will be playing clips from this season for a long time to come, just like they play the Bush Sr/Dana Carvey clips and the Bill Clinton/Darrell Hammond clips from prior seasons.

16. That was a great skit on Saturday.
I haven't laughed from SNL like that in years.

18. It would be a great idea.
But, what they really need to do, is find someone who does a good McCain impression.

Complete with his incessant "POW" meme, "the friends" speechifying, and the stupid grin he has after saying something totally stupid.

In 1975 and 1976 Chevy Chase lampooned Ford so much for falling down stairs so often that there was no one who would admit to voting for Ford after he lost the election in 1976.

20. Considering the McCain campaing attacked SNL as bigoted...
I think the odds are pretty good.
