I'd Like to Use One of My Lifelines

Tina Fey returned once more to SNL last night for another shot at Sarah Palin. This time, obviously, Fey had a tough act to follow -- herself -- and expectations were high for another slam dunk.
Personally, I liked last night's Palin sketch even more than the first one. As Palin speaks more and more, her lack of preparation and knowledge becomes more and more obvious, and last night's sketch satirized that brilliantly -- from her nonsensical rambling about fixing the economy (ordering from McDonald's Dollar Menu will help) to her call for a lifeline and the adorable posing, Fey's portrayal of Palin gets creepier and creepier and more and more scathing. I love that Fey's disdain for Palin lurks so clearly just under the surface, as if you can just see her thinking, "Can you believe this idiot?"

Quick Question


I'm away from a tv and only able to check my usual news sources sporadically since I'm teaching, but did John McCain seriously pick Tina Fey to be his running mate?? What will that mean for this season of 30 Rock?
