How did we miss this one from Saturday Night Live this past weekend?
If you are feeling bad about the tech stock meltdown yesterday, this spoof–the second hysterical one from the comedy television show–video by Tina Fey as Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will make you feel much better.
I am only a millimeter away from writing in “Fey for President” on my ballot for this perfect impression, although Amy Poehler’s take as the pompous Katie Couric of CBS is Fey’s perfect foil (as she was when playing Sen. Hillary Clinton the week before).
The best line was actually from Poehler: “It seems to me that when cornered, you become increasingly adorable. Is that fair to say?”
It’s fair to say this pair does, without crossing the line to rank meanness like a lot of political satire.
Here’s the video:

The funniest part is that some meaningful chunks of what she says are actual words from Sarah Palin. I first found this on http://www.comedy.com, which I rely on as a filter for a regular laugh… more important recently to have a sense of humor.
