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.

Sarah Palin is gosh-darn adorable a don'tcha know
Last night the Vice Presidential Debate took place between Republican Governor Sarah Palin and Democratic Senator Joe Biden.

Queen Latifah To Spoof VP Debate On Saturday Night Live?
We don't know if Tina Fey will be back on Saturday Night Live this weekend as Sarah Palin, but if the show indeed spoofs tonight's vice presidential debate, at least one impersonator appears to be confirmed: Queen Latifah as moderator Gwen Ifill.
Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Latifah has signed on to play Ifill on this week's SNL if the show goes ahead with a debate sketch. It would seem like a no-brainer until you actually watched the debate, which would be best described as "a

Comedy goddess Tina Fey isn't the only funnylady who can pull off a mean Sarah Palin imitation. Harry Shearer—of The Simpsons, This is Spinal Tap, SNL's male synchronized swimming movie, and just about every other funny thing in the last 30 years—has just written and posted this fun song, "Bridge to Nowhere." 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
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.

"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
