Eh. Nearly all of the Palin jokes are recycled this time. They didn’t even do anything with the winking.
You’ll like the second skit, though. If even SNL’s willing to put the Fannie/Freddie blame where it belongs, there must be an audience out there for that NRCC ad.

“Owner, Democratic Party” ahahaha
lodge on October 5, 2008 at 10:16 AM
I’d like to stop giving SNL publicity if possible. Can’t they just be ignored?
jeanie on October 5, 2008 at 10:16 AM
“Barney Frank” was great. I haven’t laughed that hard at SNL for years. I just wish he had done a little more talking.
forest on October 5, 2008 at 10:18 AM
SNL was okay. Tina Fey’s portrayal of Palin is not as funny anymore. But I thought Queen Latifa was great as Gwen Ifill and Biden was funny too.
But the really funny part was the Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank congressional bit. Hey Team McCain and the RNC, with a little editing of real clips and some humor you could do devestating ads on Congress right now.
You should do so. FAST.
Mr. Joe on October 5, 2008 at 10:19 AM
The funniest part of the second skit was when the Democratic overlord came in told Pelosi what to do. How scary will it be when Soros does control the US govt by proxy.
Lance Murdock on October 5, 2008 at 10:20 AM
That’s exactly what I was thinking.

That second video is depressing…and infuriating.
keebs on October 5, 2008 at 10:21 AM
Tired and lame. Nothing new from the Left.
SuperManGreenLantern on October 5, 2008 at 10:23 AM
If the second one sinks in, Dems are in deep trouble. Deep. When SNL tells you Bush tried to stop it and the Dems blocked it, people know it ain’t Republican spin.
I love the title under Soros:
George Soros
Multi-billionaire Hedge Fund Manager
Owner, Democratic Party
Bwahahah!
TheBigOldDog on October 5, 2008 at 10:23 AM
They play the wink when saying as long as she doesn’t faint it’s a tie. Then she winks.
I agree with that assessment. And maybe it’s just overkill, but Bush = idiot stuff turns me off to skits now. Maybe just seen that too many times. Pelosi lady with her eyes and Frank’s lisp were not bad tho’.
Spirit of 1776 on October 5, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Wow! I can´t believe the second one. Did I just see that?
james hooker on October 5, 2008 at 10:27 AM
On Fox Sunday, Karl Rove is politely confirming my suspicions about McCain’s campaign: it’s being run by idiots.
BuckeyeSam on October 5, 2008 at 10:28 AM
stayed up to watch this, i woke the wife laughing so hard lol
queen latifa was great.
trailortrash on October 5, 2008 at 10:29 AM
Watch it again. She winked.
They sure got that right.
The Monster on October 5, 2008 at 10:30 AM
Alec Baldwin also mentioned the Democrats + Fannie Mae thing on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday.
How sad is it that Alec Frickin’ Baldwin and SNL have covered the Democrats’ Fannie Mae scam more than the media have?
Seixon on October 5, 2008 at 10:30 AM
I think that THEY think the election’s in the bag so they can start poking fun at the left. Did ANYONE ever make fun of BJ Clinton’s sax playing?
Mojave Mark on October 5, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Yes, they chose to pitch to Kirk Gibson.
Now let’s put it out of the park.
connertown on October 5, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Here’s the clip of Baldwin, strangely, mentioning the Democrats’ fault in the Fannie Mae business: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6FOI7yo7uE
I could hardly believe my eyes and ears when he said this. Alec Baldwin faulting the Democrats for something? Holy crap.
And again – when’s the New York Times and the rest of the gang going to report on this? Alec Baldwin and SNL beat them to it. How sad.
Seixon on October 5, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Okay, the drinking game joke at the end was great. Although I am sure it happens everywhere I think the folks at HotAir should consider it a hat tip.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Alec Baldwin Points Fingers at Barney Frank & Democrats for Fiscal Crisis
TheBigOldDog on October 5, 2008 at 10:35 AM
The 2nd video deserves it’s own thread

Dr Evil on October 5, 2008 at 10:38 AM
Ok, SNL points out the Democrats failures and Republican efforts to fix the problem.
Baldwin points fingers at Dems
But as for the McCain campaign, well, all we want to talk about is Wall St. Greed. We can’t irritate potential Democrat votes, can we?
digitalintrigue on October 5, 2008 at 10:39 AM
How frickin’ crazy is it that Baldwins, of all people, is out in front of McCain on this issue.
CanadianGuy on October 5, 2008 at 10:40 AM
I am sure Bawnee Fwank enjoyed the flute segment.
Benjamin9 on October 5, 2008 at 10:41 AM
I wonder if SNL saw Ann Coulter on Cavuto, because she suggested that yuppies used subprimes to speculate in the house flipping game.
Buy Danish on October 5, 2008 at 10:41 AM
Tina Fey needs a little more Wasilla in that accent, a little less Minneapolis.
That Biden was hilarious, though. Even brilliant.
Dr. Manhattan on October 5, 2008 at 10:42 AM
Juan Williams is trying to blunt the fingerpointing at Freddie-Fannie. Typical NPR liberal who doesn’t understand economics.
Brit Hume is trying to school him. And he named names. Juan Williams is silenced and fuming. I love Brit Hume. Williams called it “slanting” the conversation. Liasson steps in to tie Dems to Fannie-Freddie.
Juan Williams is a crybaby.
BuckeyeSam on October 5, 2008 at 10:43 AM
Why can’t I see any videos? Have they been removed?
tru2tx on October 5, 2008 at 10:43 AM
Precisely! What was once a tiny spider monkey is morphing into a 500 lb. gorilla. The F-F debacle is forcing its way into the public consciousness. Last night, Fox News did a big investigative report. Bit by bit, it’s getting out of the Democrats’ control. Trust me on this: in the political arena – especially in elections – one week is as good as a lifetime.
ManlyRash on October 5, 2008 at 10:44 AM
Just go directly to SNL. I had the same problem too.
CanadianGuy on October 5, 2008 at 10:45 AM
If those brain dead fools on SNL were half as talented as Sarah Palin they could stop doing that ridiculous crap and get a real job.
rplat on October 5, 2008 at 10:46 AM
same thing here
Wade on October 5, 2008 at 10:46 AM
Anything that gets Pelosi and Frank exposure in pop culture can do nothing but help. The “Bush is an idiot” theme is old and tired, but Nancy as an evil puppet of George Soros, and Frank as a bumbling idiot, now that’s new to some people – and true to boot.
Why is SNL hitting this harder than McCain? And apparently Alec Baldwin too? It’s welcome, but what’s wrong with the McCain campaign?
C’mon McCain, the election can be won, and this is the path, along with Ayers and friends too. One month left.

cat-scratch on October 5, 2008 at 10:56 AM
That second one was better than anything from Republicans in weeks. What happened since August? Does McCain want to lose?
pedestrian on October 5, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Yeah, good luck with that.
wise_man on October 5, 2008 at 10:59 AM
Not necessarily. Hear me out: if McCain comes out swinging aganst the Congress critters who did this, he opens up a second front and will have to divert resources there. Yes, I know this is a big issue, but the bigger issue is OBAMA. McCain is running against Barry, not against Congress.
Yes, I know that Obama is attacking the Republicans on this issue, but he is doing so as a diversionary tactic. If McCain can sow enough doubt about Obama’s integrity in the minds of the electorate, he will effectively undercut any message Obama tries to relate. The McCain campaign is doing a good job of keeping the electorate focused on the candidates.
Again, please bear in mind that a lot of things are moving at the same time; many strategies and tactics are being employed simultaneously. The fact that Baldwin and SNL have fingered the Democrats means that Obama’s narrative of the Republicans being at fault is collapsing. Over the course of the next week expect talk radio, Fox and the blogosphere to keep ounding on this issue.
It WILL break into the mainstream very soon – and McCain can continue pounding away at Barry’s qualifications and associations with shady, corrupt and traitorous people.
We already saw Sarah fire both barrels over the weekend.Be patient, folks. The battle in the Ardennes forest wasn’t won in a single day.
My two cents. *puts on flak jacket and helmet* Open fire.
ManlyRash on October 5, 2008 at 11:00 AM
From the Malkin blog. Worth a look. Scroll down the array of T-shirts trashing the bailout.

BuckeyeSam on October 5, 2008 at 11:02 AM
I’m sorry. I know you all think Palin can do no wrong, but she does. She’s human. SNL has made fun of both sides (and sometimes they really pile it on to one or the other, as evidenced by this week’s Fannie/Freddie skit and last weeks “I approve this message” skit). We all know what happens when a bunch of people from one side get together and make fun of the other side (coughhalfhournewshourcough). It sucked. I’m glad SNL is making fun of both sides. And, contrary to popular belief, there is a lot to make fun of Palin about (and I did catch a wink in the beginning, but they should have done more). In fact, I’m a little disappointed they didn’t hit her on the “General McClellan” thing. That was just ridiculous. If Hairplugs had done it, there would be a 2000 comment thread filled with outrage from you guys.
malan89 on October 5, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Shocker of the campaign! The AP sees Palin’s words as “racially tinged”.

CanadianGuy on October 5, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Sorry, don’t know how you got in that last post. Anyways, I was gonna say that I live in a college town and I saw a few of those “Palin Drinking Game” cards around. Just a list of words you had to drink to. “Maverick” was right at the top…I’m surprised we don’t have any dead college kids after that one.
malan89 on October 5, 2008 at 11:08 AM
malan89 on October 5, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Yes, I can see why my remark about the drinking game being a hat tip to HotAir would prove my deluded obsession with Gov. Palin. What??????? Do you get extra points for adding posters names? SNL skit was fine. Now excuse me I must go genuflect to Gov. Palin’s picture at my shrine.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:10 AM
Eh, not nearly fat, slovenly, lisp-slurred, or whiny enough.
It captures the doormat impression I am getting of Bush, though.
Count to 10 on October 5, 2008 at 11:11 AM

What’s worse, McClellan or saying that Hezbollah(sp?) was kicked out of Lebenon…

Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:10 AM
Not a problem, suggesting that I condone underage drinking is a much better tact. Did you just say that we should be glad that SNL is making fun of both sides? Now you want to censor things that you think are inappropriate. What a condescending prig you are!
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Are we talking 1940 or 1944? ;)
I agree with your post that the attacking Obama and his pack of sketchy business and political associates will probably be number 1, but the Democrats’ blaming the banking mess on the Republicans will need to be answered strongly and will factual counter accusations included. I’m amazed that BO is only up 7% right now, and I think it can be overcome with some aggression on McCain’s part.
forest on October 5, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Wait, let me get this straight. Some are outraged that SNL, with a history of targeting a young-liberal market does a skit that targets a young-liberal market?
Shocked! Wait until Robespierre hears about this.
Limerick on October 5, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Hey, did anybody catch Rush’s show last Friday, after the debate, and hear what the kid form University of Wisconsin had to say about the crowd watching the debate?
It was an eye opener.

Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:15 AM
I’m an infrequent listener, but I happened to hear that segment. I have no doubt it’s accurate too. I think alot of people tuned in to see Palin collapse, and when it didn’t happen, they kinda lost enthusiasm. But they couldn’t admit they we’re 100% wrong about the debate, so most of them still insisted Biden won, of course (see CNN commentators).
forest on October 5, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Sorry, can’t disagree more. Middle America doesn’t want to hear about wild claims about Ayers. The will if McCain’s rockhead campaign will tie in their squandering of a grant exceeding $100 million to improve Chicago schools, which remain in a shambles. Obama’s record is like a cheap auto detail job: looks good coming out of the shop, but blisters and peels in short order. At this point, trying to reclaim Wright may be a waste of time. Also, no one wants to hear about Bush’s two wars. Though I vehemently disagree, the country views Obama as passable on national security.
McCain is getting killed as Obama misrepresents McCain’s $5,000 health care credit. Obama’s also killing McCain on the tax argument because it’s class warfare and McCain does a lousy job of explaining it. I’d emphasize the large corporation rate reduction.
McCain has been outflanked on energy. Now, that’s pathetic.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are so easily tied to Obama that you’d have to call it a “target-rich environment.” These guys and others are McCain’s Willie Hortons.
Finally, I’m unwilling to believe that any campaign that allows Tucker Bounds to appear on TV knows what it’s doing. He’s awful. This morning, Karl Rove essentially called the recent campaign announcements of upcoming moves (leaving Michigan and gloves off) dopey. Still operating at a bush league level. I hope change is coming. Time is running out.
BuckeyeSam on October 5, 2008 at 11:22 AM
I heard Tina Fey doesn’t like to do her Palin impression anymore and I think it’s starting to show. I agree with the rest, it’s just just funny anymore.
Tuari on October 5, 2008 at 11:22 AM
That SNL skit nailed that wussy Bush appeaser to a tee.

Here is the transcript
And this…I found particularly interesting:

Saltysam on October 5, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Just goes to show, youth is wasted on the young. My son has a friend who is an Obama supporter. I asked him why and got the hopey changey thing alone with “great speaker” As usual, no substance and no problem.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:30 AM
Yeah, that’s what it was like for me when I was brainwashed.
CanadianGuy on October 5, 2008 at 11:30 AM
I was just joking. She said “maverick” about 30 times. Whatever. You know who you’re acting like? Commenter “The Race Card”.
malan89 on October 5, 2008 at 11:30 AM
Indeed. People need to keep this fact in mind. Given everything that has happened and the enormous head start that he had in this campaign, Obama should be leading by high double-digits – and he isn’t.
No less a political prognosticator than Rush Limbaugh (whose analyses have always been spot-on and whose political instinct is nearly flawless) pointed out that if Obama is not leading by double digits come the middle of October, he is toast. And he is correct.
We are already seeing cracks in the facade of the Obama campaign. As more dirt comes out on Rezko, Ayers, Wright and all of Obama’s dubious past associations, you will see those cracks widen.
The Drive-Bys cannot ignore the F-F debalce for the rest of the month – is is morphing out of control. At some point soon, they will be forced to address the issue ad when they do, it will spell doom for this particular Obama tactic.
All the while, McCain and Palin will be laying heavy artillery into Obama’s credibility. And the polling data will begin to reflect that later in the week.

Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:36 AM
No, ridiculous was Biden’s attempt to counter Palin’s earthiness and likeabililty in her home town by bringing up recent conversations he had with his constituents in his home state that took place in a restaurant that went out of business over 15 years ago.
Wait, that’s not ridiculous. Just a big fat lie.
fogw on October 5, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Apparently Tina is suffering from PDS.
ManlyRash on October 5, 2008 at 11:37 AM
After further review – Tina Fey is just not as pretty as Sarah.
Sorry Tina.
DeweyWins on October 5, 2008 at 11:38 AM
I agree with you. But “General McClellan” is ALSO ridiculous.
Whatever. You enjoy yourself.
malan89 on October 5, 2008 at 11:40 AM
So good to see Allah obsessed with leftist television shows that no one (with a functioning brain) watches. Because what happens on The View and SNL is so important in the lives of Americans.
Ugh.

Well, there is either a gun to her head or a lot of money involved. What could it be? I just can’t figure it out. Of course most of these folks are narcissists so maybe face time is enough.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:43 AM
Heh, well I watched the debate clip again, and laugh much more the 2nd time.
Spirit of 1776 on October 5, 2008 at 11:45 AM
DeweyWins:
I agree. Several people I know have pointed out that when the major papers and blogs have put Palin and Fey-as-Palin in side by side pictures, Fey looks like an anorexic hag.
I think this is part of the reason Tina isn’t as enthusiastic about her role anymore. Liberal kudos don’t trump basic female vanity on this one.
texette on October 5, 2008 at 11:46 AM
When I awoke today and began watching all of the Sunday morning “news” progams, I thought I had slept through until November 5th.
Everyone was saying “Obama’s won this thing”.
Well when you think about it, why shouldn’t the MSM ignore the people’s vote in America? Remember, it is THEY who decide not only who wins but who the candidates will be.
They’re getting cocky now, something that might come back to haunt them. They had Kerry the big winner too.

fogw on October 5, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Considering the stuff that’s going on in Ohio, they may know that the fix is in. It appears that McCain is going to have to go after a blue state in a big way. I wish it could be Michigan but I am dreaming.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Cindy:
You may be right, although she seemed to me, early on, to be downright orgasmic to be “tapped” for the role–gloriously happy-looking during her interviews about it. When the comparative pictures started coming out, and stayed out, not so much. Your reasoning may be true, but it also may be a plausible excuse for her to stop, or at least change, her act.
By the way, I always enjoy reading your comments.
texette on October 5, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Man they’re SNL’s disgusting. That was so onesided and nasty towards her that I couldn’t finish watching it. You can see that these people are panicking because Palin is not as dumb as they thought she was.
AlexB on October 5, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Cindy – I know Tina is a big Hillary supporter. I wonder if Tina Fey actually believes Hillary will vote for Obama knowing it would end her dreams for the white house.
My guess is she will vote for her good friend John McCain.
DeweyWins on October 5, 2008 at 12:04 PM
texette on October 5, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Thanks. She might think she’s saving the world. You have to love the Hollywood crowd and their perceived power. After all they are just like me, everywhere I go twenty people with cameras follow me around and consider my every utterance worthy of Mensa’s weekly newsletter. Just kidding about the newsletter I OBVIOUSLY have not idea what Mensa does or doesn’t have in the way of publications.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 12:07 PM
McCain needs to explain to voters why a Socialist like Obama would be a disaster in the WH. The FM/FM disaster gives him the perfect opening. Democratic legislators like Barney Franks and Chris Dodd (as well as Democratic lawyers and ACORN activists like Obama) forced banks to give mortgage loans to more and more unqualified borrowers because they believed it was only “fair” that everybody own a home — whether they could afford one or not. Similarly, Barack Obama said in one of the primary debates that he plans to raise the capital gains tax rate, even if it reduces the government’s revenues, because he believes it’s the “fair” thing to do.
Obama and the Democrats’ socialistic attempts to legislate “fairness” (as they define it, which is all about the gov’t redistributing income from the people who earn it to the people who don’t) — has brought this country to the brink of financial ruin. We have to reject these failed Socialist principles and return to the things that made this country so successful in the first place: capitalism, free markets, personal responsibility, self-reliance, etc. McCain believes in these things. If he would just go out and talk about why they are important and how he is going to restore them (Senator Kyl’s proposal to break up FM/FM and sell them off to the private sector would be a good start), it will resonate with many voters (including a lot of Democrats) who are enraged by the bail-out.

So that wasn’t your autograph I got? Curse those impersonators!
texette on October 5, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Interesting that the crowd seemed nervous during the 2nd skit. Maybe it was a lightbulb moment for them. One can only hope.
SouthernGent on October 5, 2008 at 12:11 PM
DeweyWins on October 5, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Well obviously we will never know for sure but I have to admit that she and the hubby are absolutely hysterical in the speeches “for” Sen. Obama. I guess whether it works will be the deciding factor but you just have to marvel at two people who’s every word is politically calculated. It must be very tiring. Or if it isn’t that might be even scarier.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 12:11 PM
For some reason, the characters of Wizard of Oz just came to mind, and an analogy seems to fit.
The continued SNL parodying notwithstanding, after Thursday’s debate, Palin is now America’s Dorothy. She did well enough Thursday in the eyes of middle America that for the next four weeks, she’s wearing a pair of red shoes that make her bullet proof. She can essentially tee off on Obama and Biden, and they really can’t do a thing about it. She shouldn’t abuse her stature by cutting corners on the truth, but I do think that of the four candidates, she’s the only one middle America is inclined to believe.
Now, if someone can get McCain–our cowardly lion, scarecrow, and tin man rolled into one–some courage, a brain, and some heart, we might be on our down the yellowbrick road to a win in November.
The Wicked Witch is the left and MSM, collectively, and each of its major and minor players, individually. And, be honest, given their thuglike tactics, don’t Obama supporters remind you of the flying monkeys? Seriously.
I’m a little uncertain about who the Wizard figure should be, but I’m inclined to say McCain’s senior campaign staff. They’re kind of bumbling, but they ultimately end up helping Dorothy and the others get what they need.
For the last major role, the Good Witch, we’ll have to switch genders because that role has to go to Karl Rove.
Keep your eyes open for the Wicked Witch and flying monkeys.

Bummer. If a crowd is following me I just won the lottery and most of them will be relatives.

Boy I think you only saw half the skit, they made Biden look ridiculous as well.
billhedrick on October 5, 2008 at 12:15 PM
I confess, I pruned that clip down substantially–but for effect only. I saw this morning where Fox counted the number of times Maverick was used.
Total = 15
Palin = 6
Biden = 9
I didn’t count them myself, but that’s what’s been reported.
BuckeyeSam on October 5, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Maybe because they don’t have the power to change my mind I am a relaxed about this but I have to say the flute and the drinking game cracked me up. I need to go and change if I am going to get to American Carol.
Cindy Munford on October 5, 2008 at 12:19 PM
Looks like Queen Latifa’s Gwen Awful had more integrity than the original moderator – she had the good sense to do full disclosure of the book.
It’s astonishing that these days telling the truth can be that outrageously funny. It’s come to this?
Out with a wimper as far as the left is concerned.
As for conservatives: It’s not over til WE SAY it is. Keep laughing, loonies. The lid is off the can of whoop-ass now! This week there will be blood on the walls.
Ssssssssara-cuda!

Given that they ridiculed Ifill twice by having Queen Latifah plug her book, I thought even Latifah’s sidewise glances at Fey were funny. I’m sure calling attention to the book deal made some Manhattan heads explode. The left thought that serious conflict of interest was going to go unnoticed by their own. Hah!
Besides, you have to admit that seeing Queen in that hairdo was hilarious in and of itself!

Hey! Leave Tina Fey alone! I think her use of the accent is great…. will have zero impact on the vote from NY and LA but WILL have an impace in MN, WI and northern MI… and not in a postive way for Dems.

They had not been instructed how to respond.

Forgive me, I guess I didn’t go back far enough in the threat. Besides, that game’s not new. I remember playing it on occasion at college 25-30 years ago.
I interjected the supposedly correct tallies because I’d already heard that Palin was getting criticized for using the word so often. Funny to see that big-mouth Biden beat her in that category–after all, Obama and Biden are the real mavericks.
