VP debate scores blockbuster ratings
Filed under: News, Saturday Night Live, Ratings, Reality-FreeConventional wisdom says that vice presidents don't matter much when it comes time to vote, that people ultimately make their choice based on who's running for president.

The Nielsen numbers are in for last night's debate between Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin and they're huge -- 69.9 million viewers watched the VEEP debate.

Genius Harry Shearer Gets in on Sarah Palin Clusterfuck [FNFF]
Comedy goddess Tina Fey isn't the only funnylady who can pull off a mean Sarah Palin imitation.

It stars his wife, actress Judith Owen, whose Palin is spot-on and will make you eat the nearest hunk of rusted iron when you reflect that they are singing about a real candidate for a real fucking

`SNL' sends up VP debate with Fey, Queen Latifah

Who Won the VP Debate?
After Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric, many predicted her debate with Senator Joe Biden would be another "moose in the headlights" train wreck. That wasn’t the case. The Alaska governor held her own and had a clear command of the facts. But was she good enough to win? Clearly, voters want to know. After the debate, searches spiked on "who won the vice presidential debate" and "who is the vp debate winner." The Buzz contains a slew of analysis pieces on who came out on top, but like ev

Vanity, Thy Name is VP Candidate Sarah Palin: Tattooed Lipliner (Photos)
According to The Huffington Post, John McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, got her lip-liner done at her sister’s-in-law beauty parlor. I think Palin is so cute. She reminds me of my mom, except my mom is younger, hotter and doesn’t need a tattooed lip-liner! But we can’t blame Palin for looking for perfection, even if it means that she is just too lazy to do her lip line everyday! Why not just tattoo it… it’s not that uncommon and it shows the Vice Presidential Candidate has a great sense

Hillary Clinton: Palin "Composed, Effective" During Debate
Hillary Clinton is weighing in on Thursday's vice presidential debate. In a phone interview Friday on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, she said, "[Democratic Sen.] Joe Biden was great. He put forward a flawless performance. I, like probably everybody else watching, was so moved by the authentic grief that caught in his throat when he talked about his own personal experience." (During the debate, Biden got choked up while recalling a car accident that killed his wife and daughter and injured his sons.)

My Husband almost cried over Sarah Palin
Trust me, it wasn't tears of joy! When he came back from dinner last night they replayed the debate. He screamed, yelled, and moaned at the tv. He didn't understand how anyone could listen to a woman who REFUSED to answer the questions and just babble on and on about the things she was brainwashed in the last few weeks and actually think she did a good job! "She is the second coming of Bush, Adrianne. We must leave this country if she gets in office" he told me. I completely agree! It floors me that people

French Paper Mistakes Tina Fey for Sarah Palin
Photo: Courtesy of NBCHow accurate is Tina Fey's impression of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin? Good enough to fool the French newspaper Le Soleil, which accidentally published a still from last week's episode of Saturday Night Live as an official shot of the Alaskan governor on Wednesday. Le Soleil printed an apology for the error yesterday. It's a funny mistake, but since we often have trouble distinguishing Darrell Hammond's impression of Bill Clinton from the real deal, we can em
