She was fantastic. That’s why America loves her (and non-America, liberal parts of the US hates her).

And she looked great next to Tina Fey. In fact, Fey came across as quite the dog. No offense to Tina Fey. But she’s not at all pretty.

There was little humor to the sketch.

I think Sarah Palin did a great job on SNL…I especially enjoyed Amy Poehler’s “rap” during the weekend update that Palin sat in for…I am personally in between as far as who I’m voting for, so I think I’ve been able to be fair throughout the election…Palin’s had alot of negative press and the media has had her under a microscope like no one else…good for her to go on SNL and be a good sport!

She always do better with scrips, she has practice memorizing what she is suppose to say for the past 2.5 months. You talking about un American, this is a woman who welcomes the ideas of successionalist. I guess that is what she means by pro American,,,, as she supported in Alaska, to be separated from other states of the union. I would not call her an American at all.

This comment is for Eric. Please inform me which part of America is non-America. I happen to live in one of these “liberal” American cities that Mrs Palin came to. Perhaps those who believe as you do that some places are non-American should tell that to some of our liberal soldiers who are fighting overseas.

I was expecting it to live more up to the hype. It failed in that. There should have been more interaction between Ms. Fey and Gov. Palin. It started good, but then just plain got lame.

Fey nailed it, Palin treaded water with no dignity left to lose…

Sarah Palin always looked bad in Tina Fay’s impersonations. But some viewers always had opportunities to think that real Sarah Palin is much smarter and more sophisticated person. Not anymore. On Oct.18 Sarah Palin appeared on SNL to confirm in person that Tina Fay was absolutely correct in portraying her as a political bimbo and “stupid girl” (Pnk). Now Palin’s fans must understand that they were simply delusional. Mikhail Oshman

Now, the bottom of the can has been scraped. There is not much left to salvage in her political campaign.

Did anybody notice Palin shun Fey at the end of the show?

really wondering, the media has been unfair in their coverage and portrayal of Cindy and Sarah- to have a fair and balance coverage can someone also mimic Michelle Obama with her tight clothes and her famous speech ” For the first time in my adult life…”

Palin and McCain approached SNL to get her on the show. That pretty much says it all. Palin tried to act like she was having fun out there but it had to be painful for her to swallow her pride and take the hits for the sake of appearing as a good sport…… if she even understood the jabs directed at her! For most of the show she had the same look on her face that she wore in the debate when asked if she agreed with equal rights for gay and lesbian couples.

No, I give more credit to Tina Fey who managed to walk past Palin without tearing her hair out. No that’s a woman I’d vote for!
