Tina Fey must feel like a gift has suddenly appeared from Heaven. A VP candidate who looks just like me and with a distinctive and easily-mimic-able accent? Thank you God!
Amy Pohler does a great Hillary also.
McCain - Palin

It wasn't just about her looking alike and the accent. Tina Fey nailed the Sarah Palin eye thing... and the weird thing she does with her chin.JackT wrote:Tina Fey must feel like a gift has suddenly appeared from Heaven.

The crazy eye. God that turns me on.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

FOR two weeks, Democrats and their media allies have leveled scorching fire at Sarah Palin. It's not having much effect, but they keep at it anyway.
The latest Fox News poll shows Palin with a 54-27 favorable/unfavorable ratio, which compares well with Barack Obama's 57-36, John McCain's 60-33 and Joe Biden's 51-29. (Of the four, she's the most popular).
Why do Democrats feel so threatened? They've even stopped attacking McCain and President Bush to launch a vicious and sexist barrage at her that would normally make a feminist angry and a Democrat blush.
Basically, it's this: John McCain only endangers Democratic chances of victory this November, but Sarah Palin is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.
She threatens a core element of the party's base - women.
When an African-American like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell or Condi Rice rises to prominence as a Republican, he or she endangers the Democratic coalition. So would a Republican labor leader.
And so, above all, does the woman Republican running for vice president.
Democrats can't stomach seeing the feminist movement's impetus for greater female political participation and empowerment "hijacked" by a pro-life woman who espouses traditional values. They must obliterate her, lest her popularity eat away at their party's core.
So the Democrats are hysterical in their attacks on her. South Carolina's Democratic Party chairwoman, Carol Fowler (wife of a national party chairman), said that the only qualification Palin had for vice president was that she hadn't had an abortion. Tabloids are digging up dirt on Palin's children. And liberal bloggers have suggested that Palin would neglect her children if she were elected (while the Democratic candidate has young children at home, too).
That liberals would resort to such blatant sexism shows their desperation.
But the Fox News poll of Sept. 8-9 indicates a deeper reality of Palin's popularity. On the question of which of the four candidates best understands what day-to-day life is like in America, Palin finished first, with 33 percent. (Obama drew 32 percent, McCain 17 percent and Biden 10 percent.)
She's not popular because she's a radical feminist or pro-choice advocate. It's because she understands what it's like to be a woman in 21st century America.
She's never ascended to the elite, so she doesn't need to stoop to conquer as most well-heeled feminist leaders must. She lives far from the plastic pseudoreality where a fossilized ideology substitutes for human compassion and empathy. As such, she rises above the slogans of both the left and the right and proposes to bring to Washington a dose of reality - a taste of real life.
She may become the first woman in national office - yet the Democrats, feminists and liberals can't control her, and that burns them up.
Elections come and go, but Palin is a far more fundamental threat to the Democratic Party. And that's why they fear her so.

Tina Fey has it down! Matt Damon's right, it's a grim reality that a bad Disney movie could be coming out in 7 weeks.
I can't watch Dick or Karl Rove on Fox. I remember Dick Morris and Henry Hyde during the Clinton blue dress/cigar saga days. Both hypocrites. Hyde was having an affair himself at the time he was presiding over the process to impeach.

I would never sink that low. I only exploit financial disaster.

Speaking of which... Isn't this a lot like the S&L collapse some time ago? That all started with bad mortgage practices, too, didn't it?Mr. Brian wrote:I would never sink that low. I only exploit financial disaster.
Gosh, what party was in the White House when all those bad loans were made? And... weren't there some guys in the middle of it all - the Jackson 5... no Keating 5. I know a couple of them got away with it (they exercised "poor judgement")... wasn't one of those guys named McCain? Hey! That's the same name as one of the guys running for president. Do you think they're related?
Hmm....
