Obama's big poll-bounce week began with Tina Fey making Palin a national joke |
|
Tonight... the cast will do the same to John McCain.
Don't underestimate the power of SNL to move poll numbers.

2. They sure gave Hillary a boost |
|
when she needed it. I hope they learn a lesson from 2004 though, and just don't make fun of Obama. Or at least do it in a way that makes people love him, instead of ridicule him. We can't afford another lock box incident.

9. He still won the primaries, so I don't think it matters too much really. |

3. I think it is more coincidence |
|
The McGaffe campaign was really battered around by all media for lying in their ads, calling Palin out on her BS, the bad interviews that she gave ABC, and the ramped up efforts of Obama/Biden.

6. I don't think so. Now all I see when I look at Palin is Tina Fey. |
|
Tina Fey could be doing just as good a job as Palin is at those rallys. Tina wouldn't even need a teleprompter.

5. You are wrong. SARAH PALIN made herself a national joke. Tina Fey just capitolized on it. n/t |

7. I totally agree with you... |
|
There's nothing quite like illustrating just how bad someone is--with humor.
Humor drives home so many things that we just can't say...like, "Sarah Palin is a ding dong."
That sketch featured things that she has actually said, or that McCain has said about her, "I can see Alaska from my house!"
Also, the juxtaposition of Palin next to Hillary highlighted that Hillary is a serious politician who has accomplished much in her life. ...and then there's Sarah Palin.
It was just classic. It shot right through to people, and everyone who saw that sketch understood that the jokes were funny--but that they were rooted in truth.
People saw the truth about Palin more clearly--in that sketch.

8. Tina Fey's skit was the punch line of McCain's bad joke. |
|
That was the peak of the Palin bump unless you are talking about her daughter's baby bump. The Palin pick was an insult to all but the most deluded of the right wing. The only thing more shameful than McCain agreeing to her as his running mate would be actually putting her in office.

laughing today about the Bob Dole skits on SNL during the '96 campaign.
"That's Bob Dole's chair!"

14. SNL helped, but it actually began with the Palin/Gibson interview |
|
a lot of people saw Palin for the vapid fool she is.
