Tina Fey as Sarah Palin in VP debate on SNL

I just watched a few videos of Saturday Night Live impersonations of Sarah Palin because I heard it was funny. I hadn't paid much attention to Sarah Palin because I'll definitely be voting 3rd party so I figured it didn't matter to me, but I did watch a segment of the VP debate the other night. I didn't think much of it because she does seem like a nice person. Like I said I watched some of the parodies and I laughed, but then I had to watch the real interviews. I am flabbergasted!!! I am amazed at how close the impersonations are to the real thing. It's funny at first, and then it is kind of sad. Palin seems like a nice mom, but she is full of hubris. She doesn't know what the interviewers are asking sometimes and she seldom answers the questions. She spouts off every catch phrase about taxes and patriotism and job creation and Israel she's ever heard. She is so unprofessional, she acts like a person they just grabbed off the street. Unbelievable, what an embarrassment. It's not like I'm surprised, but what a sad disappointment for this country and for women at that.

Here's a link to the debate skit, the interview with Charlie Gibson is also pretty good and so is the one with Katie Couric, just google them: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/04/tina-fey-as-sarah-palin-i_n_131964.html



Also, some of you may find it interesting that Japan's market closed down 4 % on their Mon. and Russia started out very low and our futures market is looking like we'll have another low day tomorrow. Even with the bailout we crash!! What a mess!!! We'll see what happens.
