			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week, &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; reprised one of its better skits, &#8220;The Rock Obama,&#8221; spoofing the health-care debate.</p>
<p>In it, Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson does to some politicians just what a lot of us would like to do.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the SNL video and below it, the original one from March:</p>

<p>As BoomTown has noted, one of the best things to come out of this election has been the very funny and very topical humor that has been on "Saturday Night Live" in this political cycle.</p>
<p>Headlined by Tina Fey's perfect impression of Republican VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the offerings from the comedy television show has been biting without stooping to the rank meanness from so many other places by both sides.</p>
<p>Last night, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain--who has been on SNL before (his "John McCain Sings Barbra Streisand" skit was really a gem from that appearance)--was in two skits on the show and did a great job in both.</p>
<p>The first was a really clever opening sketch in which he and Fey as Palin appeared on the QVC cable shopping network, sheepishly explaining that they could not afford to buy time on the major networks as Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama did last week.</p>
<p>Money quote from McCain: "I'm a true maverick, a Republican without money."</p>
<p>Along with a set of "John McCain Pork Knives" and "McCain Fine Gold" (with Cindy McCain as the comely demoer), Fey (as Palin) goes rogue and starts selling "Palin in 2012" T-shirts.</p>
<p>In a second appearance on "Weekend Update," McCain did another nice turn, running through a series of new strategies to win, such as "The Sad Grandpa" and the "The Reverse Maverick." </p>
<p>Here are the videos:</p>

<p>Republican Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin did a very smooth--if a tiny bit sweetly awkward--job in her appearance on "Saturday Night Live" last night. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The well-known liberal actor did a nice turn pretending to insult Palin, while thinking she was his "30 Rock" co-star Tina Fey, whose many turns at impersonating Palin have become a huge Internet hit.</p>
<p>Palin came on again later in the NBC television comedy show on its "Weekend Update," rocking out to a perfect rap by a very pregnant Amy Poehler. </p>
<p>These two from SNL will surely be the biggest Web video hits this week.</p>
<p>And, goodness gracious, do Palin and Fey <em>really</em> look alike, passing by each other at the end of the opening skit without speaking.</p>
<p>Sometimes politics can be really ugly and sometimes silly--and this time Palin managed to poke fun at herself without being either. </p>
<p><em>You betcha'</em> she did.</p>
<p>Here's the two videos from last night and also the other three that already aired on SNL:</p>

<p>The third time is charming, in fact, as has been every appearance on "Saturday Night Live" by Tina Fey impersonating Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.</p>
<p>This one, of course, is on last week's debate between Palin and Democratic VP candidate, Sen. Joe Biden, with Queen Latifah also doing a perfect double-taking turn as moderator Gwen Ifill. </p>
<p>Whatever happens in the election, of the many impersonations on "SNL," Fey's of Palin is a classic, which started with a striking resemblance and has turned into a perfect union of characters.</p>
<p>Here is the first, with <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080915/as-promised-tina-fey-as-sarah-palin-as-tina-fey/">Fey and Amy Poehler as Sen. Hillary Clinton</a> and <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080930/okay-tina-feys-return-as-sarah-palin-is-too-adorkable-to-resist/">Fey with Poehler playing CBS's Katie Couric</a>.</p>
<p>Here's the new video:</p>
