Should Sarah Palin Go on Saturday Night Live?

Palin is an unendicted criminal who has been found GUILTY of abuse of power by the Alaska state legislature.

ANYTHING she does in the public eye makes McCain look like an idot for picking such a vacuous, self-serving ideologue.

I hope they ROAST her!

I say BOYCOT SNL....why let her be funny and let her Katie interview look like a joke....BOYCOT SNL.......Shame on you SNL....the TV ratings must be so much more important than our counrty to you guys.....Go Obama...GO!

I just hope they have Fey's Palin debate Palin's Palin.

Who cares?

This doesn't sound like a good idea. SNL doesn't rehabilitate nor establish the credibility of people we the electorate want to run our government. I remember how shocked the Washington establishment was that Bill Clinton played the sax on late night tv. He can actually play and I remember thinking it was pretty cool. What's her talent?
Props for taking the risk, however.

An idiot in any venue is still an idiot. It doesn't matter what she does. She's an under-educated, poor choice for VP. Don't get me wrong, being a democrat, I'm thrilled with the choice.

Who wants to see her when we can see Tina Fey and get some real laughs. And by the way, is Joe Biden getting equal time???

If she does, she'll want to drop off her resume 'cause she's gonna' be unemployed real soon.

These posters "...dost protest too much, methinks."

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one 'woman' in her time plays many parts, 'Her' acts being seven ages."

That said by the world's greatest poet, playwright and poet, I say let's just see if she presents herself as "a dish fit for the gods". We will see, "tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow".

I'm upset at SNL, frankly, for allowing what they well know is a dangerous woman comedic air time. All for ratings. People are stupid enough to give her "charm" or "sympathy" votes because of this. Good grief.

If she don't care, why should we! It's pitiful, and funny on the same level.

I think she's amazing and you all will be shocked at how great she will be. Good grief Obama is a disaster.

Sarah Palin is proving once again how inept she is. Why would she want to go to the Bear's cave? She is going to be eaten alive. McCain made a big mistake picking her. These are difficult times for the country. We don't need another "guy (or gal) to have a beer with", to be running this country.

HELP STAMP OUT CRIME.

JUST SAY NO...to the GOP

I think it'll be fantastic- hopefully really funny. I give her props for willing to do it. And I'm a crazy liberal, massive Obama supporter who can't stand her. Still, I like good comedy when I see it, and Tina Fey/ Sarah Palin is good comedy!

The vast majority of the MSM along with SNL see the world from the left. The longer they stay in their own echo chamber the more brazen they become.
When Walter Cronkite gave us the news he was only on for 30 minutes. In 30 minutes it is hard to editorialize the news even if you wanted to.
Today in 24 hour news cycle it is apparently very difficult not to editorialize the events of the day.
You could actually see the networks lose all objectivity when the race tightened up 6 weeks ago. They were frothing at the mouth.
They may cut Sarah a break in an effort to restore some sensibility. But I doubt it. Why should Sarah Palin kiss and make up? Frankly, they are waiting for her and they hate her guts. It is time conservatives quit making nice with people who hate them.

She should go on Saturday Night Live and then beat Tina Fey's eyeballs out.

I expect that she will be very good on the show. She has shown that she has considerable appeal to many people when reciting lines written by others. But a good performance will not make her detractors -- like myself -- more likely to conclude that she has what it takes to be President. The country is in crisis, and we need leaders with the skill and judgment to guide us through difficult times. We don't need an entertainer.

Basically, nothing at this point could rehabilitate Palin's reputation enough to make any difference to the McCain ticket, but showing oneself to be a "good sport" has always been good for American politicians. Appearing side-by-side with Tina Fey at least might provide damage control before Palin returns to Alaska.

Palin will be booed. I can hardly believe that even Palin will be that stupid.

I can't wait.

Boycott SNL. Many people I know, who watch SNL every week, will NOT do so this weekend. My own TV will certainly not tune in SNL this Saturday. I will miss the show. Yet, “thank you, but no, thank you.”

She won't be able to watch with the sound turned off this time.

She'll go on SNL but not Meet the Press or any other real interview show. That says a lot. When you go on the real news shows and SNL then you get to be the serious person with a funny side. When you only will do Hannity and SNL you only get to be a joke.

The Socialist responders to this blog seem to be pretty lathered up over the Palin appearance. I had no idea she was that good! I’m really looking forward to the show.

I am sorry SNL is giving her the air time. She is a disgrace and her campaign rallies are the most divisive, filled with lies, that this country does not need. I have been watching SNL since Day 1, but not tomorrow night.

This woman is mean spirited, dangerous and dishonest. She's clever and will come off looking good, not matter what you give her to read. I am disappointed.

I can't believe Sarah Palin called certain parts of the country UnAmerican. Look at the words she used. Pro American, Real Americans, and Best of America. What kind of Right Wing nut is Sarah Palin to be running for VP and insulting the same folks she wants to vote for her. I guess its only Obama supporters or anybody who doesn't support their robo calls and low road campaign tactics. I think the media is taking this too lightly. Sarah Palin during a fund raiser said that only certain parts of the country are patriotic and real Americans and she's running to be VP and proberly president. Thats very alarming and I think she needs to explain exactly which part of America does she think is UnAmerican or less patriotic. This is starting to become a narrative. On Chris Mathews today congresswoman Michelle Bockwman said that congress should be integregated on who's American and anti-American. Now Sarah Palin is stating that only certain parts of America are Pro America. This follows 3 weeks of attacks from the Mccain/Palin campaign that questioned Obama's patriotism. The republicans and Mccain/Palin campaign should be questioned about their patriotism its the Republican party that has made the economy worst with their deregulation and their Right Wing policies for the rich. Its the Republican Party that has us in 2 wars thats costing us Billions a month. How patriotic is the Republican Pary when the leader of their Party is leaving the country with 2 wars with no resolution, 11 trillion in debt, and a economy in turmoil? Their the ones if anybody who's patriotism should be in quesion. I think if Mccain/Palin were in the White House the country would be worst with their radical Right Wing beliefs and their decisive nature. KEEP MCCAIN/PALIN OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. WHY HASN'T THE MEDIA ASK MCCAIN ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GORDON LIDEY? IT TOOK DAVID LETTERMAN A NIGHT SHOW COMEDIAN TO GIVE MCCAIN A REAL INTERVIEW. THE MOST EFFECTIVE INTERVIEW MCCAIN HAS HAD THROUGHOUT THIS CAMPAIGN.

She should go there with Joe The Plumber to help fix the inevitable fissures in the GOP she sure is going to cause on SNL

Go Sarah! Go Joe!

Make us laugh! Make us laugh! Make us laugh!

THE END OF TIMES - Nov. 4

( for Scary Sarah )

Sounds like the left-wing supporters of Karl Obama and Neil Biden have forgotten to take their meds this morning. The left has no manners, no couth and for those who profess tolerance, they have none. Zero. Zip. Nada. How many of those who berate her have earned a college degree in 4 years instead of the now mostly 6 years. Who among you has ever held an elected office beyond that in some club? Before you can be a know-it-all you have to, at least, be a know-something. How many of you whiners would or could appear on Saturday Night Live? No guts. No glory. Just a bunch of dolts. Go, Sarah!

First of all JBE it is spelled unindicted with an i and unindicted means not enough evidence to try. Look, the media and that investigator Branchflower are democrats who filter the news to make Palin appear unqualified. Barack Obama stated he was in 57 states with one to go! Biden claimed in an interview with Katie Couric that FDR got on TV and calmed people after the stock market crash of 1929. Problem was FDR was'nt the prez until 1933 and the TV was no around in '29. Why do they get free passes? Because they are democrats!
Unfortunately, the media give the Democrats a 10 million vote head start in every presidential election.

Take a step back in time. Most of us watched SNL since its beginnings. The writers then, were extremely creative and allowed the cast to grow and run with their skits. SNL had its ups and downs. As of late, they presented their MSM views more to the left. Now, when they invite someone who is a Republican to the show, those voices are complaining. Why is there hypocrisy? Where is the balance? I salute SNL for doing this as long as they write the humor and respect both sides to the skits they use. With today’s political climate SNL ran with all the political gaffs both right and left, but mainly hit hardest towards the right. We still have that imbalance given by the writers who lean to the right. Does SNL have any writers who dare to reveal the ‘right’ and use the humor accordingly? I doubt it. Then this is a good way of opening the doors to mix the humor well.
If having SP on SNL and she has the guts to go on, with whatever lines they throw at her, all the better! It seems she sees humor as good way to ‘cross over those lines’. Why not accept it and go with the flow? This will show the audience she has a human approach and is willing to take on those punches directly thrown at her. It’s about time SNL start creating a place where both parties are represented equally in good humor. Looking back at the Smith Benefit which took place in NYC, the night before; both candidates were able to mock fun at themselves and each other for such a short time, unfortunately.
I think SP will do fine.

Wow, from most of these posts you would think she's the anti-christ...(woops most of you don't go in for that religion stuff, do ya). Her experience in government is commensurate with Obama's, except it's executive experience, minus the "interesting characters" (see Ayers, Wright, Phlager etc)
I wish her the best of luck ... she's going to need it with those liberal pirannhas at SNL

Yes - and she should sing "I'm So Pretty" from West Side Story. ................

http://thefiresidepost.com/2008/10/12/sarah-palin-im-so-pretty/

I hope they tell Palin that she'll do a mock debate with Hillary and when she goes live, it's the REAL Hillary who shows up.

But frankly, while I am a fan of SNL, I will purposefully NOT be watching tonight, just as I have researched any products (beer) distributed by the McCain (Hensley) companies and am boycotting those, too.

I love that 100,000 Americans came to hear Senator Obama today in Missouri -- we'll turn this state blue, too.

McCain/Palin = McCarthyism

And in my opinion, you can put lipstick on a PIG, but Sarah Palin will STILL be a sow's ear.

After all, she is a joke, so perhaps it is fitting. It is so obvious that she was a poor choice and that her deficits are pervasive, so it is not likely she will harm or hurt herself.

The fact that she has shown herself to be so inept and yet immediately said, "Yes, I am ready to serve...." only further reflects her ignorance. At first I found her fascinanting in spite of all of the above; at this point, she's a bore.

Is she Live?

I'll watch her on SNL as soon as she is on Meet the Press. Hmmm...so I guess I will not be watching.

She will come out a winner regardless of what happens. It proves she's willing to laugh at herself as well as showing the courage to step right into the lion's den.

I have been reading so many bitter postings lately in the campaign wars that it's a relief to see and hear of events like this where we can put down our arms and just laugh at it all for a moment.

For your zany readers, I might also offer another opportunity for a good laugh, if they care to read one. It relates to how all of us are going to be asked to pay up for this upcoming $1 trillion bail out on the horizon. See "Smarter than this" at

http://writingfrontier.com/2008/09/28/smarter-than-this/

Even the most insidious of hatemongers know that humor has the potential of humanizing themselves and the bitter posison they spread.
I will be booing Sarah Palin from the edge of my seat at home, and hope that the SNL audience has the courage to do the same.

LET PALIN BE HERSELF

LET PALIN BE HERSELF,GIVE HER THE WHOLE SHOW THEN World can see her for what we already know....She is an egomaniac,Liar,Racist,Conscience-less, power and wealth driven idiot without a moral compass or compassionate bone in her pentacostal body....I feel she may be in love with Carl Rove.

Sarah Palin should be on Saturday Night Live, AFTER she has had interviews about the issues with "Meet the Press," "Face the Nation," etc. The problems that our country are facing deserve serious attention, not "folksy" one-liners.

Obama/Biden 2008

You guys are so pathetic it's sad. "Shame on SNL?" "They shouldn't put a dangerous woman on?" Every late night comedian, and every episode of SNL, and every episode of Daily Show, has been 80-90% skewed against McCain, and yet one appearance by Palin to poke a little fun at herself scares you? Holy balls, you guys spook easily.

"Equal time for Biden." Ha. Did you guys watch SNL on Thursday night? Did you see ONE anti-Obama joke?

Poor, poor Palin supporters. Did you know the producer of SNL, Lorne Micheals, contributed the most you can give to the MCPAIN campaign? Yep, the liberal guy (as you rant) did that and is having that brilliant brain, Sarah, on his show (you betcha!). Hey, having gone to five colleges in four years is not something to brag about, neither is comparing her time as a small-time mayor (and Wasilla is small and REDNECK AS HE**!!!) and the entire state of Alaska's population is very small. Speaking in tongues, questioning someone's patriotism, winking during a vp debate---is this a bad dream or is literally half the country asleep? Come on, you lovely right wing brainiacs---where are you all? Please defend her in a reasonable way or step aside peacefully (oh, snap, and gosh darn it, do I sound anti-American to you?) By the way, a LOT of us "liberals" are christians. Snap again!

GOP is masking the real intentions by choosing McFailin to run for leaders of your country.
They are both incompetent and nearly death.
Exactly where they want to have the american people, chosing for Obama/Biden, who will not be able to solve the large social and financial problems GOP created. GOP will after 4 yrs take over and turn america in a complete police state. Who would live there with this prospective ??
And what about the stand of Europe and the rest of the world considering america a criminal nation (a terrorist state, an ax of evil in itself )

America a criminal nation (a terrorist state, an ax of evil in itself )

Sarah Palin is nothing but a RACIST

www.need4trth.blogspot.com

What's this submission error notice???? I'm already signed in. Are you guys being FRAUDULENT ALSO?

THIS IRRESPONSIBLE COMMENT COMES RIGHT ON THE HEALS OF ANOTHER IRRESPONSIBLE COMMENT.

Sarah Palin yesterday makes an irresponsible RACIST comment in NC about a group of 99% white people being 'pro American' Now this ignorant moronic person makes another ridiculous idiotic RACIST statement. So the RNC are now crossing the line completely. John McCain even made another comment about senator Obama being a Socialist. John McCain has totally lost his barings, and is totally erractic and insensitive. What a RACIST SCUMBAG....

AND WE SHOULD VOTE FOR THEM WHY????

Because they can be insulting and accussative and McCarthy like?

Disgusting is what these foul people are

She was awesome on SNL!

Laughs on you lefties!

McCain/Palin 08

Indeed, Sarah's 5 seconds on SNL were brilliant. Too bad the MSM(tm) won't see it that way.

I haven't heard anything about, did she even go on the show? I'll have to download some clips to see what an idiot she was on the show. She probably did a maverick sketch or two, because I wouldn't expect her to be able to think of anything funny, except by accident.

I haven't watched SNL in about 5 or so years until the last few weeks when Tina Fey was killing Palin. I didn’t watch this weekend because I don’t think Palin deserved to be on the show. I’ll probably not watch the show for another few years. I see SNL inviting Palin to do the show as a slap in the face. F Palin. She, like Bush, is an embarrassment to this country.

They let her off easy. I watched it. It was her getting to look cool at every instance. It had to have helped their numbers this week.. both SNL's and McCain/Palin's

Palin went on SNL... and to think I stayed awake to watch her bomb....she did not come across well at all. I still can't quite put my finger on what was amiss but in the long run I was very disappointed in her performance.

I'm at least glad that someone is asking serious questions of McCain and Palin. But the MSM should be ashamed that it's David Letterman and John Stewart. The rest of the press corps(e) is too dead or afraid to ask them any real questions about such deplorable behavior. (Letterman asking about McCain's friendship with know criminal G. Gordon Liddy, who also wanted to bomb the Brookings Institute? Couldn't someone else have determined McCain's hypocrisy in the journalistic corps(e)? )

Looks like it was all about the ratings--SNL had the highest in years. I did not watch because I don't want to fan the flames of celebrity for Palin. That Palin is the VP nominee is the biggest joke for me and I'm not laughing.

When will Sarah Palin appear on "Meet the Press"??

Sarah Palin's persona (actual and SNL) has become a caricature. It's hard to think of her as a serious and viable candidate. I saw her on SNL which only highlighted what we already perceive. The ticket is "Mad-TV" and she's "Not ready for prime-time".

Sarah Palin is already thought of as an after thought, joke. Going on SNL so close to voting time and with the country being in a disaster just makes her look like she is mocking politics and the position she is running for and being so non-classy. However, she is thought of as a joke and parody, so I am sure that she fit right in to her role on Saturday Night Live.

In the Netherlands, Europe, we wonder how it is possible that narrow minded GOP persons really think that they can fix the economic disaster without tackling the origin: greed. And what about the manifold mistakes the US have made as to foreign policies and so bringing the US to the standard of a developing country.

....looks folks, as in many cases with
some people, just give 'em enough rope
and....blah blah

let's not forget the primary four years
ago when we we told by both parties, but
much more loudly by some Dems that
'things in Washington are gonna change'
(a new lead in seats).... Well, did
any thing change??? Nope - it just got
worse. So here's the deal; continue
to demand accountability and change
in Washington this year, we've had
enough from BOTH parties the past
four years (even though this current
administration has trashed our economy).

thx, and have a nice day.

ps it's agreed that Palin is not
a viable candidate for VP, but
hey, it's America! People have
the right to agree or disagree!
not so in other places at times....

Now that Palin is going to take over the Senate, "We-All" can feel much more confident in voting republican- don't forget the wonderful bridge she built in her home-state that serves the wild animal life. And make special mention about her adaption of the constitution really meaning- "FLEXIABILITY" for the V.P.(but just not printed). SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE now has a great lead segment to develop for 10/25/08, stay tuned

I think let this beauty queen Sarah Pelin go on SNL after 4th of November.!!!!!

****AMERICA SHOULD BE FEARFULLY CONCERNED****

In the last month, After Governor Sarah Palin and HER Administration was refused by The Alaska Superior Court, then refused by The Alaska Supreme Court to SQUASH the “Troopergate Investigation” against Sarah Palin, the Alaska State Legislative Investigation (LAW) moved on the investigation of the Firing of the Alaska State Public Safety Commissioner.

Gov.Sarah Palin “IS” found “GUILTY” by The Alaska State Legislature [60] Lawmakers, [Mostly Republicans] .in the Investigation of Firing" The Chief of The Alaska State Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan.

TROOPERGATE: In plain English, Sarah Palin has been legally PROVEN that she broke the Alaska State Ethics Law in ABUSING HER power in pushing for the firing of a State Trooper once married to her sister and by also ALLOWING her husband Todd Palin to use the Alaska Governor's Office in a crusade against the Officer. She is charged with 18 Ethic Violation Facts.

Currently the State of Alaska Personnel Board [appointed by Sara Palin} hired a private Investigator to continue the “Troopergate Investigation” on possible OTHER Ethic Violations which Palin allowed HER appointed Administration to participate in. Sarah Palins appointed State of Alaska, Attorney General Colberg, cannot participate to defend Gov. Palin or to defend her Administration. Why? Because he also is in conflict of interest

ALASKA GOVERNOR RECALL!
I am an Alaskan life voting Republican. This 2008 Election, I will [with pleasure] vote Democrat!

This Alaska Governor Palin has Destroyed and continues to attempt to Destroy "MANY GOOD ALASKAN PEOPLE(s)” Professionally and Politically during her "VERY SHORT" term position as Mayor in a small community Wasilla, Ak (Approx 5,000 + residents during her reign) and currently the Alaska State Governor.

McCain’s V.P. selection Sarah Palin unequivocally has NO business being the Alaska Governor, let alone, a USA Candidate for Vice President…..

Maverick??.....”AMERICA SHOULD BE FEARFULLY CONCERNED”

I voted for Sarah Palin in Alaskans 2006 Governor Election. MISTAKE!.... Never Again… I repeat-NEVER AGAIN!!....Alaska Governor Palin is an absolute Embarrassment to the Alaska People(s) and "IS PROVEN” Over and Over to be an insatiable LIAR!!..
.
How can she possibly ASSUME to possess the ability to clean up America, when she cannot clean the progressive ''MESS" She has created, then left Alaska to run for the United States V.P. Yes, she .departed leaving “HERSELF and HER husband todd palins” Mess FOR Alaskans to Clean-Up!!

MCCAIN, you should be ASHAMED of yourself!!!! This victim (palin) has no business in this Presidential Arena.
