My wife tells me that from her sleep she heard me howl at some point, figuring it was during Saturday Night Live. I knew it was during the opening “VP debate” which I’ve embedded below, but couldn’t remember exactly when, simply because the whole thing is eleven minutes long and I was snickering almost the entire time.
If you hadn’t seen it, or you want to see it again, hit play and wait for the commercial to air (sorry, that’s the price we pay these days). “Biden” is good, but we’re all looking for that Palin bit by Tina, and it hasn’t gotten old yet. If you didn’t get a chance to catch the VP debate, some of the mannerisms and jokes won’t hold the same meaning, but that’s what mocking is all about — it works best for people that know what’s being mocked.
Palin: “Gwen, we don’t know if this climate change whozeewhatsit
is manmade,
or if it’s just a natural part of the End of Days.”
And equal time. Okay, not really.
Biden: “Look, I love John McCain. He’s one of my dearest friends.
But at the same time, he’s also dangerously unbalanced.”
But to sum up:
Thank God for Tina Fey. Pay her lots of money.
After watching it, I knew it was the reference to marriage that made me howl — I won’t spoil that, so you have to watch.

That was hysterical, I’m gonna miss Palin when she’s gone. In the mean time, apparently everyone loves to bash her in precisely the same way — not hard when she gives us such an easy target.

Needless to say, our pal Dave Letterman has also weighed in, only he has taken a different tact, and allows Palin herself to deliver the most damaging evidence against her.
Oh yeah, my son’s debate coach mentioned that these really aren’t debates, as much as they are joint press conferences.
