You betcha: Sarah Palin to do Saturday Night Live
Filed under: Late Night, Saturday Night Live, Celebrities, Reality-FreeAfter a few weeks of rumors, denials, and "will she or won't she" talk, it looks like Governor Sarah Palin is finally set to appear on NBC's Saturday Night Live. The Alaskan Governor and VP candidate will appear on the October 25 episode, according to Cindy Adams at The New York Post. If that wasn't exciting enough, this is the same episode that Jon Hamm will host, so I bet we can look forward to a Mad Men parody. Wouldn't it be great i

Saturday Night Live Thursday Update: Lame W/Out Tina or Sarah
SNL's Weekend Update moved to a new spot in lieu of the upcoming elections, and last night marked the first time the precursor to The Daily Show featured a mid-week special, hosted by Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler. Was it funny? Meh. Was Bill Murray there? Ye-op:   Blurgh. Without Tina Fey doing her Sarah Palin impression, this segment really lags. Couldn't the second presidential debate included an aside from each of the VP candidates? Then SNL would be able to do the only thing they know

Betty White As McCain Staffer: Palin's "One Crazy Bitch"
Craig Ferguson's talk show comes on way past our bedtime, so we missed comedy genius Betty White's appearance earlier this week. But that's why God invented YouTube, right? Anyway, White spent some of her time portraying a John McCain spokesperson, which apparently entails describing Sarah Palin as a "crazy bitch" and Barack Obama as a "hot piece of man." Betty White, we love you. Oct 10, 2008 · Link · 12 Responses Related Posts

NOW THEY’RE GETTING IT
John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as “not one of us,” I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence. At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, “Kill him!” At one of your rallies, someone called out, “Terrorist!” Neither was answered or denounced by you or your r

ONE VIDEO TO RULE ALL THE OTHERS
Yep, Obama saw it coming, right down the line. So the answer to that question is “Yes,” the Republicans have been this predictable. It’s also called knowing your enemy’s move before they do. But what people may not remember is that when Obama gave this speech, back in July, in which he basically laid out the [...]

Sarah Palin will appear on SNL as herself
The internet has been buzzing with speculation that Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin may show up in a skit on Saturday Night Live. The Alaska governor, who is rapidly becoming what John McCain hates the most- a “celebrity”- has breathed new life into the venerable sketch show, thanks to the spot-on impersonation of her by SNL alum Tina Fey. Palin has been scheduled to appear on the Oct. 25th broadcast, playing herself, and not Fey as some outlets were reporting. SOCCER moms and Joe Sixpacks,

LETTERMAN BLASTS MCCAIN FOR BEING “SQUIRRELY,” SAYS: “I JUST DON’T KNOW IF WE CAN TRUST HIM”
In what must be Round 6 or 7 for David Letterman by now, last night he absolutely lit into John McCain, this time calling him, QUOTE, “squirrely,” which is just another way of saying that he’s “erratic.” You may have heard that John McCain now wants to go back on Letterman’s show, after previously having stood him up for Katie Couric on the day he fake-suspended his campaign. Much like Sarah Palin now wanting to go on SNL, McCain recognizes that Letterman may not stop t

POLITICIANS OR MOB BOSSES? PT. 7
The fury and loathing of Obama being whipped up largely by McCain-Palin-GOP rhetoric about the Illinois Senator is now spilling into down-ticket races, specifically the battle between GOP incumbent Saxby Chambliss and his Dem challenger: Thursday’s debate took place in front of a highly partisan crowd in the GOP stronghold of Middle Georgia. Chambliss supporters waved “Saxby” signs and offered up a sustained “boos” when Martin mentioned Democratic presidential nominee Barack

McCain, Palin should 'rein it in': Gergen
David Gergen, sometime presidential adviser and CNN analyst, was on Steven Colbert's show last night and had advice for Sen. John McCain -- the Republican presidential nominee needs to "rein in" his attacks as well as those by running mate Gov. Sarah Palin on Sen. Barack Obama. "They used to call it rabble rousing" said Gergen, who teaches at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. The Huffington Post is also reporting that former McCain strategist John Weaver is warning the Republican nomi

Michigander: 'Who is John McCain?'
Down in the polls within weeks of Election Day, advisers are pushing him to ratchet up the attacks on Democrat Barack Obama. Some in his town hall audience in Wisconsin yesterday were actually yelling out loud for McCain to hit harder. And he has, both on the campaign trail, and on TV. McCain personally has joined the campaign trail attack that running mate Sarah Palin started, calling for Obama to fess up about what he knew and when about William Ayers, that Chicago education professor and onetime

Catholic Group Calls Out Palin
John McCain enlisted Sarah Palin in part to bolster his standing with the Republican party's religious base. Unfortunately for McCain - and Palin - some Catholic leaders are questioning the Alaska governor's spiritual tolerance. Frank L. Cocozzelli, head of CrossLeft, and his peers today released a statement today scrutinizing Palin's association with the New Apostolic Reformation, a movement Cocozzelli claims has a "long, strong streak of anti-Catholicism." …Bishop Thomas

newVideoPlayer("/bettywhite_def.flv", undefined, NaN,""); Are we sick of Sarah Palin jokes yet? Yes—yes we do believe we are, yet not since Brokeback Mountain has a single cultural phenomenon offered comedy writers (and ankle-shackled galley bloggers) such a bounty of low-hanging fruit.And—much like the gay-cowboy motif into its third month of YouTube mashups—just when you think you've snorted out your last nose-chuckle at the congenial flautist's antics, along comes one more to tickle yo

In politics, Chicago way is American way
Chicago is once again drawing fire from Republicans who have seemingly convinced themselves that they have to run not only against Sen. Barack Obama but against an entire city. Sen. John McCain, for instance, has recently gone around saying with mock indignation that he doesn't need be schooled on how to tell the truth by a "Chicago politician." (We all know he means "that one.") The premise of a new Republican National Committee ad called "Chicago Way" is that Obama is tainted because he learned his

Obama says McCain trying to stoke anger, division
AP - Democrat Barack Obama accused Republican John McCain of trying to divide the country Friday, but he let other Democrats handle harsher attacks while he kept his message mostly upbeat. Speaking to an outdoor crowd in Chillicothe, Ohio, Obama said, "it’s not hard to rile up a crowd by stoking anger and division." He said Americans want "someone who can lead this country" with a steady hand in a time of economic crisis, not divide it. Echoing McCain’s "country first" motto, Obama said: "Now

Angelina Jolie: "Barack Obama Would Be Great for My Family"
"Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay," she tells the German edition of Vanity Fair. "They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family." See Barack Obama's family album. Still, Jolie - whose father, Jon Voight, has endorsed John McCain - says just because Obama would be a good example for her family isn'

'SNL' spoofs second debate
Tina Fey didn't play Sarah Palin. And Sarah Palin didn't spoof Tina Fey. But last night's Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update Thursday did feature Fred Armisen as Barack Obama and Darrell Hammond as John McCain, along with Chris Parnell playing a very time-conscious Tom Brokaw, in a take-off of Tuesday's presidential debate (clip below). Among the funniest moments had to be McCain referring to Obama as "this character here," and "Junior over there," and "pee-pants over here,&quo

Video of the Day: Dana Carvey Returns To TV
 We try our best to avoid the painful comedy that is the Tonight Show With Jay Leno. But Wednesday night's show, with Dana Carvey, was the best we've come across in years.Leno is best when things either go wrong or when he loses the cymbals-crashing punchlines. The other night, he was loose, off-the-cuff, and on a roll... and then Dana Carvey took over...Now we realized why we missed him so much since he left SNL and the spotlight...via Hulu. Related:While You Were Sleeping: Will Smith'

LET THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES BEGIN: BARACK ‘OSAMA’ ON BALLOT IN NY
In an upstate New York county, hundreds of voters have been sent absentee ballots with the name Barack Osama.  Commisioners say they regret the error and that it is a typo, which it could very well be.  But… Just take a second and look down at your keyboard and tell me how close the ’s’ and the ‘b’ are and how massively blundering your titanic hands would have to be to make this kind of accidnetal mis-type.

Listen to this, today John McCain tried to link Barack Obama to the Chicago Cubs.” — David Letterman, CBS’ “Late Show” Story continues below ?advertisement“Everybody’s still talking about the presidential debate the other night.

Wall Street Tumbles & John McCain Attacks Obama
“Even as we face the most serious economic crisis of our time, even as you are worried about keeping your jobs or paying your bills or staying in your homes, my opponent’s campaign announced last week that they plan to ‘turn the page’ on the discussion about our economy so they can spend the final weeks of this election attacking me instead,” Obama said during a speech in Chillicothe, Ohio.

Bob Schieffer Will Out-Pussy Tom Brokaw at Moderating the Debates
As bad as that town hall presidential debate was on Tuesday (it was the worst), a lot of it could be blamed on the terrible format, the weird lights, and Tom Brokaw's incessant whining. So the third and final debate next Wednesday in New York is going to be better right? Not if Bob Schieffer has anything to do with it. The anchor of CBS's Face the Nation is moderating, and yes, it will also be the worst debate: "It's going to be very, very interesting. The whole election may turn o
