Palin's appearance on SNL may have been a ploy to lure Obama

Obama on SNL Weekend Before Election?
Will He Fight Mark Wahlberg?

In the wake of an awkward and unnecessary Sarah Palin appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, news comes that Lorne Michaels, who recently donated $4,600 to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, may have coaxed the Illinois senator into appearing on SNL the Saturday before the election.

I heard from one of Sarah�s aides this morning that at the obligatory SNL after party, a slightly affected Seth Meyers blurted out something to the effect of ��yeah, but just wait til you see what we have cooked up for Obama�s appearance right before the election.� You may remember that Obama �canceled� his appearance on the show on opening night because of Hurricane Ike. But sources now say that it could have been a ploy cooked up by Lorne Michaels and David Axelrod to save Obama for the November 1st show� right before the election.

1. I'm afraid Obama has more important things rigth now.

And anyone who denies it misunderstands who we are pulling for.

7. That is EXACTLY what I mean.

That woman raised him. I know there is a lot of important things at stake but this shows him to be a real person with far better values than that "drag my props...er...children around" Palin.

10. But we're talking next weekend!

This weekend he can wrap up the votes of people who like dutiful grandsons. Next weekend, he wraps up the 18-45 demographic!

11. Lets just hope his grandmother's health is not in rapid decline.

I would love nothing more than for her to see the boy she raised become president.

12. In all honesty, that was my first thought when I heard about her health as well.

I hope she sees him make history.

2. I think Obama should drink beer and eat pork right off a pig on a spit on SNL.

That way, the reich-wing fuckwads will know he's not a "secret Moozlim."

I envision Obama carving pieces of meat right off a big pig on a spit with an apple in its mouth, eating some, and passing around plates of BBQ to people in the audience.

Or maybe tossing chunks of meat to people in the audience.

Sure, this would lose him the vegetarian vote, but I think it would be worth it.

8. They need to do a bit in which Obama stands at attention with his hand on his heart...

.... during The Israeli National Anthem?

But NOT while he's eating pork.

9. Markie Mark wants to say "hey donkey, say hello to your mother."

I have to admit that his appearance on the show was at least as good as the skit on which it was based.

I'll look forward to Obama's appearance!
