UPDATE – HERE’s THE VIDEO FROM NBC!
(Video coming as soon as I can find one – youtube keeps pulling them because of copyrights)…

I can’t believe it, Sarah Palin, actually bit the bullet and made an appearance on Saturday Night Live – yes the REAL Sarah Palin.

After all the jokes made on her behalf, this must’ve been something hard to do, I’ll give her that much. Still I enjoy seeing her pounded by the media, if only because I cannot accept her as ever being able to run this country.

I’m all for a woman president, but she just doesn’t seem like she has the leadership qualities, nor the know-how to manage her own life & family(2 pregnant teens, the trooper-gate scandal, etc…) let alone the lives and families of countless millions around the globe..

Sarah Palin shared the stage with some other big name stars, Mark Wahlberg came on to give Andy Sandberg a hard time about his impression of him talking to animals. Tina Fey started out the show, pretending to be Sarah Palin – wearing the same outfit as the real Sarah Palin.

The episode starts with Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin taking questions from her first ever press conference, after a few questions she begins to do her ‘runway walk’ for Miss. Alaska. At this moment the view pans out to a tv screen in the hall, where the real Sarah Palin is talking to Lorne Michaels who is being very polite and apologetic.

In comes Mark Wahlberg, who complains about the way people do bad impressions of people, and Sarah Palin chimes in ‘Yeah, tell me about it…’

The best part was when Alec Baldwin came by and said “Hey Tina…” before trashing the VP candidate. Lorne Michaels abruptly stops him, and announces that this isn’t Tina Fey, but is in fact the real Sarah Palin.

Alec Baldwin, immediately turns polite, and says ‘you’re way hotter in person, honestly I can’t see why they have ‘her’ playing you..I don’t see a resemblance at all..’ To which Sarah Palin says – “ya know, you’re brother Steven is my favorite Baldwin”…

Baldwin then escorts Sarah Palin offstage to give her a tour, and it goes back to Tina Fey, and Baldwin shows up and whispers in her ear, and she gulps and says ‘The real one?’ and says ‘uh, bye gotta go’… and runs off stage.

The real Sarah Palin, then enters the press conference scene and says ‘I’m not gonna answer any of your questions, but I am gonna say…. Live from New York, it’s SATURDAY NIGHT!’…

I give her props it was a good skit, and took courage, but that’s not enough to assuade my opinion of her, I’m still backing Obama / Biden – we need some real change.

I am curious to see if this affects the polls at all come Monday. What say you?

(Sarah Palin also appeared in the News portion, as the anchor lady did a rap as Sarah Palin, Sarah graciously bowed saying that she didn’t think it appropriate for her to do for the campaign, Amy said she’s probably right, and did the skit for her… not sure if that was rehearsed or on the spot judgement – but Sarah Palin did dance like a rapper and got jiggy with it…)

It was definitely and interesting episode of Saturday Night Live.

PR: wait… I: wait… L: wait… LD: wait… I: wait… wait… C: wait… SD: wait…
