Sarah Palin Plays Sarah Palin on SNL and Nails It
Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor Sarah Palin did a very smooth–if sweetly awkward–job in her appearance on “Saturday Night Live” last night.
It was a good decision to go low key and also do a bit of stunt casting by bringing in Mark Wahlberg, who was mocked in an impersonation last week by SNL, and also Alec Baldwin. Palin also appeared later, rocking out to a very funny rap.
Sometimes politics can be really ugly and sometimes silly–this time Palin managed to poke fun at herself without being either.
