Was that Queen Latifah playing Gwen Ifill?? The whole thing was the awesomest ever. [More:]

Note to Tina Fey: Look, I'm getting older. My offer to have your babbies still stands, but the clock's ticking. Kthx.
Parthenogenesis, mups? ;-)

OMG I think that is Queen Latifah...

I didn't think they'd go for a three-peat, esp. since the debate was so un-funny. But they made it work.

It is, they announced she'd be doing the skit a couple days ago.

Also, I thought this from Letterman the other night was funny, too.

Oh man, Letterman is getting nasty. I love it.

Brilliant.

Man - Tina is uncannily like Palin in that skit. Kinda Creepy.

Great article in today's Sunday Times. How I would love to see Palin face the press.

On her lies:

In the past month we have discovered the following: Palin told one interviewer that she asked her daughters for permission to accept McCain’s veep offer; she told another that she had accepted the offer immediately and unblinkingly without asking anyone. The first version was, it turned out, a lie. But it sounded good for the 10 seconds needed on national television.

She insisted back in Wasilla that she did not fire the police chief. When the reporter called the cop to check, he read a termination letter, signed by Palin, over the telephone. Despite her claim to Couric, Palin has not met any trade missions from Russia.

She did not oppose the “bridge to nowhere” in Alaska; she lobbied for it. She said she sold a state aeroplane on eBay. She did not. She claimed her Teleprompter failed in her convention speech. It did not. She said Alaska’s state scientists had concluded that polar bears were in no danger. A journalist’s legal request to review the report showed that she had lied and the scientists had indeed said the bear was endangered. Palin said Alaska provided “nearly 20% of the US domestic supply of energy”. It does not. The gas pipeline she touts as her main “mission accomplished” has not broken ground and may never do so. She says she took a pay cut as mayor of Wasilla. She did not. And on and on.

These lies are not in any dispute because they are factually checkable. To avoid any engagement on these subjects and the untruths she has told, she refuses to hold a press conference of any type.

That was cute.

i'm all for comedy, but good god, i'm sick of "politics."
Now, politics are ripe fodder for comedy, and if i had easy access to my beloved Stewart/Colbert, i'm sure i'd be less bugged by it all, because unless it's coming from an able comedian (or adept journalist, when i'm in the mood) i--

--i have this red suit jacket on a dummy to see if there's any possibilities in using it for Halloween, but i every time i glance by it, i feel like i'm being haunted by a headless Palin.

i, too, can see Russia from here, but i think it's just the bleak landscape, endless lines and conspicuous blanket of "truth."

I think I'm finally in love.

eth, daily show and colbert report have whole episodes online. They usually post them the day after they air on their sites and hulu. that's how I get my fix.

I can see Denmark from our local beach, less than ten minutes walk away. Maybe I should be veep?

That was funny, but I really loved Anne Hathaway as Julie Andrews.

i caught that. It was pretty damn funny. And i haven't seen SNL in ages.

I thought that the Lennon Sisters skit at the opening of the show was mean and not funny at all. I think a lot less of Kristen Wiig for doing it, even if she did not take part in the writing.
