Tina Fey and McCain on SNL

[aquart]

"I'm a true maverick: a Republican without money."

[Sorceress]

1. LMAO, it hurts me to say it but that opening skit was great. McGrumpy...

actually did a good job...

[Reform]

3. yeah it was good

my fav moment was when she went rogue

"Sarah whats going on over there?"
lmao

[Sorceress]

6. LOL, "Nuthin', just talkin' about taxes." LMAO. I loved Cindy showing up too! I dislike her ...

tremendously but it was still funny.

[sunnybrook]

18. Cindy looked perfect in that job

I think she has found her true calling!

[Fuzz]

9. Lol, I'm going rogue right now.

Hilarious.

[bigtree]

5. he's a weak demagogue

stupid enough to stand there and believe he's being ironic

[Winnipegosis]

16. It was a good job,

...he's actually a convincing humorist. Politically, he's a mess.

[Cleita]

2. OMG! He threw Sarah under the bus and any

credibility he ever had!

[Jack Rabbit]

4. By now it probably felt good

to throw Sarah under the bus.

[WolverineDG]

8. Yup, that was my thought too

no way in hell would the "Palin in 2012" have made it on without his approval.

7. lol their doing a parody of the view right now

lol @ elisabeth hasselbeck

[2Design]

10. I didn't find it very funny - it was more like his commercial again n/t

[Reform]

11. this olbermann skit

sucks, Ben looks or sounds nothing like him

[2Design]

12. I liked the keith skit n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

26. same here. could he be more wooden, more phony sounding.

that rictus of a 'smile?'

am I watching a different clip, or what?

the only time I've ever seen him look convincing was in this clip, in which he plays a creepy stalker. he was very comfortable 'in his own skin' there. not really acting, as he does in his role as politician. he's a natural as a creep:

13. Way for McCain to close the deal - not

There's nothing like showing a nation how presidential you are than by playing a buffoon on national television. :crazy:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. Bullshit on a Republican without money...how many houses, cars, jets, etc etc etc???

[LeftyMom]

15. Cindy owns it all.

She probably gives him an allowance if he does his chores.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. She might have most of their possessions in her name but he Owns her.

Most of the time she looks like she wants to be a zillion miles away from the political theater and she's caught in it, like a deer in the headlights.

17. Tina Fey was funny, but McCain and his wife were terrible.

Cindy just HAD to get on that show. She's been seething since Sarah took over the role of First Cheerleader.

[malaise]

19. That skit was fall down funny

[TexasObserver]

22. NO, it wasn't.

Just because something is funny to you doesn't make it funny. It merely means you're tuned in to that kind of "humor," such that it is.

[onenote]

25. and,conversely, just because something isn't funny to you, doesn't mean its not funny

Funny is subjective, not objective. But you knew that.

[Gabi Hayes]

27. the skit was funny. McCain is the biggest phony since the last time

you say any republican saying anything

he's clearly a terrible actor...can't even play himself

here's where he's comfortable, convincing

[TexasObserver]

28. Sure it does.

But you knew that.

[sunnybrook]

20. This was the most relaxed I've seen him

in a very long time. He has in the past shown himself to have a sense of humor. But he has been so busy being a jackass. To me he actually seemed like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. Of course he knows he is losing, but he knows it is almost over, and I bet he's glad about that! It's a relief for me too! I look forward to hearing about his retirement!

[dugaresa]

21. McCain's appearance on SNL made me think he knows its over for him

especially the piece on the "fake news" where one his options was to go "grandpa" or something like that...where he said "Obama's got his whole life ahead of him"..."this is my turn"...that made me wince...

[Karenina]

23. Sad Grandpa...
