Folks, Palin was a total dud on SNL.
Not good. Not so bad it was good. Just not. Way weak. :thumbsdown:

6. Well at least Jeff Dem gave us a bit more than the other posters who must
feel we're all watching right along with them. :grr:

So thanks, Jeff Dem - but feel free to expound. :7

7. Started off with Tina skewering her, doing a "press conference" as her
then they cut to Palin watching from backstage from Lorne. Alec Baldwin showed up and thought he was standing next to Tina (dressed as Palin) saying "We can't let our dear Tina go out there with that horrible woman! I mean she is really awful" etc etc. and Lorne was like "This *is* Gov. Palin".

Palin had a few lines but that's it.

16. Opened with a skit of Tina Fey lampooning Palin at a press conference.
She was taking questions that made her look like a fool such as "which parts of the country are un-American?" Then Fey-as-Palin said she was going to do a runway walk for the reporters. They flashed to the real Palin chatting with Lorne. Several celebs walked up and said how they didn't like the way they were satirized on previous episodes of SNL. Alec Baldwin walked up to Palin and acted as if he thought it was actually Fey. He said something like "I can't believe you're actually going to go out there with HER! I mean, this is a huge election and she's a piece of shit (so to speak). When Lorne said "This IS the Governor" he acted embarrassed and mumbled something like "You are way hotter in person." Palin walked toward the podium at which point Fey said "I'm outta here" and left without even acknowledging her. Palin said "I won't be taking any questions but I would like to say LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!" It was awful!

9. Yep-AWFUL
HRC was much better in March. This will gain her nothing especially in light of the CP endorsement in 7 hours. Thanks SNL.

4. She was so weak. They found out that she can only memorize 3 paragraphs.

So they gave her few lines. She just stands there and looks like a cheap Alaskan hooker.

15. Do you think it was set up so that the audience couldn't boo her?
It sure looked that way to me.

11. What do you want to know
I'll recap the whole thing... the premise was idiotic... "That's not how my press conference would have gone"

17. It was a FAIL
not an EPIC FAIL, not a a Katie Couric FAIL...not a "in what respect Charlie" FAIL. More like a sitting by Henry Kissinger learning the world geography FAIL.

20. That was major suck
I thought Alec Baldwin's anti-Palin rant stole the show.

22. Yeah. And the regularly hilarious, when he's not making phone calls, Alec Baldwin ...
... was even unfunny. To the point it was peculiar.

Palin somehow managed to ruin the fun of an SNL Palin skit; let's not let her do the same to the country.
