That was great, Dixie! Thanks for sharing. I especially liked the 2nd one.

It was awesome.

I stayed up to watch it last night, and the rest of the show was horrible. If it is like that every week it should just go away.

I think she was a good sport to go on and do that. I thought I heard that they really wanted her to do it and she said NO. Is that correct?

I thought she was a good sport and it turned out pretty funny.

Way to go Sarah Palin.

Saw the videos yesterday and laughed so hard.

Thought the same thing ' what a good sport she is.'

Heard this morning the staff was courteous to her. They ought to be since they got the highest number of viewers in 14 yrs.

Alec Baldwin was in the sketch with Sarah. Here is a comment he made on perezhilton.com


Left, center, right — SNL welcomes politicians of all political stripes and that's how it should be, said Alec Baldwin.

Here's what he has to say to those who protested Sexy Sarah's SNL invite.

When Alec isn't angry he makes a whole lotta sense!

Saturday Night Live is a comedy show. It's not Meet the Press. It doesn't "ask the tough questions" or "set the agenda." It attempts, with varying degrees of success, to make people laugh. That's it. Whether they skewer and savage people in order to do so, they don't care. When you come on a show like that, you are prepared in advance to get worked over. Palin knew that. Palin came on to be a good sport. And she was. She was polite, gracious. (More so than some of the famous actors who come through there, believe me.)

However, I assume that, like Meet the Press, SNL feels an obligation to offer their special forum to any and all public figures and officials who are current. Headline making. And in SNL's case, would make for a hit show. Several people decried SNL for giving her a spot on the show. You're kidding, right? The woman is the Vice Presidential nominee of one of the two major parties in this country. Don't put her on SNL? With all of her exposure and the Tina Fey performance? What reality are you in?

If you think an appearance on Saturday Night Live would sway voters and actually effect the outcome of the election, you may have more contempt for the electorate of this country than the Republican National Committee does. And that's a lot of contempt.

Good points!

What do U think????

LOL!! Well isn't that special?

My favorite part of SNL was when Alec was standing next to Palin trashing her. As much as I despise her, she was a good sport and did a great job! Better than Hillary.
