Gravitas is no longer an issue here people

You know what freaks me out, that politicians now diffuse satire by 'getting' the joke. The irony of this sketch is that it's basically an apology to Palin, and makes Fey look like the bitch.

Not that I don't love irony, but I agree with La Tina who apparently didn't want to share the stage with Palin. A person is either pro Palin as Palin or pro Fey as Palin, it's difficult to appreciate a satire that reaches out and gives it's target a big hug.

Palin as Palin on SNL:

Ps : Sorry I have been awol, life is exceedingly complicated and busy right now, and someone lent me the Blackadder collection on DVD. Best quotes so far: "I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel." and "You see, the thing about heaven is that heaven is for people who like the sort of things that go on in heaven. Like, well, singing, talking to God, watering pot plants."
