Palin on SNL

So perhaps there is a movement by the presidential campaigns to make their respective candidates appear more human by being funny and able to laugh at themselves. Or, maybe people have finally realized the ridiculousness of the current American political campaign system and are choosing to laugh to keep from crying. I don't know.

Last week, we had the Presidential candidates roasting each other (click here), and last night, GOP VP pick Sarah Palin was on SNL. It was actually funny and probably the only good thing she has done since joining the campaign. However, her SNL involvement was far less than when other candidates, like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, were on the show. Personally, I think Tina Fey makes a better "Sarah Palin" than Sarah Palin (at least we know that Tina Fey knows the truth about dinosaurs).Take a look at the videos below and see for yourself.

Some people may think that Palin being able to laugh at herself or John McCain taking a joke during the presidential roast might have a positive effect for their campaign. Well, Obama is still raking it in ("Obama Raises Stunning $150 million in September").

This first one is the opening sketch.


The second sketch is the one of Sarah Palin on Weekend Update with Seth and Amy.
