In honor of today being Superbowl Sunday, we thought we'd present the following vid.

Yeah, we laughed too.

I guess it was inevitable that the gate-crashing couple of the moment would make it into the lexicon of “Celebrity.” Well, we didn’t have to wait long, as they made it into the opening sketch of SNL this past weekend.

For me the funny really kicked in when Joe Biden joined the Salahis onstage and they started taking photos with the Secret Service.

OK, we know that Twilight is all the rage with the young chippies, and that (in spite of its popularity) there are some hard-core vampyre and Werewülf fans that feel that it was, well, just a bit silly. well, if you watched SNL last weekend, you would have seen what just could have been a better film had it been made instead.

I don’t know about you folk, but I honestly think that this would have made a better film, but that’s me.

Last night (Saturday), the funny folks over at SNL did it again. They managed to successfully Skewer the GOP Vice Presidential Moose Mom, ah Hockey Puck, er candidate. That’s right kids, her worship, Sara Palin showed up on SNL herself (and no, although she didn’t play Tina Fey in a 30 Rock sketch, it apparently wasn’t for want of trying).

In addition to her bit in the opening segment (Loved the sideways mention to the Mark Wahlberg Bit from last weekend), Governor Palin also showed up on Weekend Update segment as well.

After watching both of these segments, I am reminded of The President Nixon’s appearance on Laugh In (where he said “Sock it to me!”), as well as then Governor Bill Clinton’s appearance on the Arsenio Hall Show where he played the sax as he was making his own bid for the Presidency.

After careful consideration, and some discussion with family and friends, I’m not entirely sure if Palin’s appearance on SNL is a display of her hipness in that she “gets” the joke, or does it diminish whatever leadership qualities she may (or may not) have had. Yeah, I know that Clinton’s appearance on Arsenio gave him a big boost in the pols, but ’m not so sure that Palin’s appearance on SNL will have the same effect.

Anyone care to weigh in on this?
