Sarah Palin Raises The Roof
Sarah Palin’s guest spot on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live helped the sketch show earn its best ratings in 14 years.
More than 14 million viewers tuned in to see Palin joke about being called “Caribou Barbie” in the show’s opener and raise the roof as Amy Poehler performed a rap about her campaign. W star Josh Brolin hosted the show and Mark Wahlberg also made an appearance on the show.
The episode is the highest-rated SNL since March 12, 1994, when Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan was the host and the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin the musical guest.

Love her =)
Hahaha.
How stupid this older is… Is she thinks she going be the win???
liberal- I can agree with you to an extent. But I mean, how much experience does Obama have?
I trust Colin Powell who said Sara Palin isn’t qualified. Powell is a Republican too.
She is so stupid
Oh lord… and I missed it… *sarcastic snap* darn…!
Palin racist??? You obviously haven’t seen the list of Obama’s BFFs! Lots of good reviews about Sarah on SNL!
GO MCCAIN & PALIN!
haha someone definetly loves the attention, she even mocks her self to get attention lol
She is sooo smart, thats the kind of leder you want! ( sarkasm )
and this woman is to become vp - or PRESIDENT OF THE US - no wonder the us is the laughing stock of he world
I think she’s hot and a milf. haha but I’m still voting Obama. Cause uh..she’s stupid but still hot as helll.
she’s fake!!!
If it wasn’t for HER I would support McCain, But now I support Obama. I think she will rule more than the real president if McCain wins and she will not take good decisions! She is an extremist in everyway, and thas scary.
Besane…
Powell is not a republican, never was, he’s always been a liberal in republican clothing. He’s a liar just like the Muslim.
Hanna, you’d rather support a terrorist that has said he is going to destroy America to where you won’t have the free speech and civil rights that you do today because McCain picked someone who believes in America??
How naive of you and how scary. Do you read what this man is about?? Do you know how dangerous he is?? Do you have any idea how your life is going to change because of him?? Have you ever heard of the Anti-Christ?? Be afraid dear…be very afraid.
hahahahahahahahaha this is funny
I love to see Palin talking, let her talk, i’ts funny as hell, the democrats thank her
I.LOVE.SARAH.PALIN.
She is great. BTW, she is not racist, biased, narrow minded nor an idiot. Most people voting for Obama are uneducated and just following whatever the liberal media and liberal Hollywood is telling them. Come on, have a mind of your own and look at the issues….You may be surprised. Good day.
Cathy, The US is not the laughing stock obviously, like all the others on the page you’ve drank the koolaid the liberals are serving you. If Obama gets in we WILL be the laughing stock.
At least Sarah Palin BELIEVES in America….why don’t all of you? Why do you all hate America so much that your willing to destroy it? How sad to see our youth led like sheep to the slaughter. THINK FOR YOURSELVES…READ…LEARN…DECIPHER THE LIES. READ - QUIT DRINKING PROPOGANDA LACED KOOLAID..If you respond to this without thinking…without truly knowing what you’re saying…please don’t vote….leave it to the serious thinkers.
holly crap!!! what is going on in American politics… a bunch of crazy, loonies are running for the highest office… how devious… devils infest…
pallin… hm… words fail…
Tami..you’re so close minded. Damn. And what the hell is wrong with being Muslim? Obama’s NOT. It’s YOU who make republicans look bad. But obviously, Obama is the next Prez. FINALLY someone who’s NOT another Bush. Unlike old **** McCain.
Some people on here have failed to remember that Bill Clinton was on SNL the first time he was up for election!
Forget the haters! powell is not republican! he is RINO (republican in name only). Obama sucks
mccain/palin 08
Hunter,….I’m closed minded??..you mean - I can’t have an opinion other than yours?? I don’t believe I said anything about muslims other than Barack Hussein is one…If you believe that saying Obama is a muslim is saying something wrong against muslims….then I must ask - who’s putting them down me…or you?? What’s wrong with Hussein being a muslim…..he is one, why are you trying to hide it?? As far as Old ***McCain…he has more class in one finger than Obama will in a lifetime.
tami
Only ignorant people belives he is an terrorist. Smart people dont fall for maniplulation and we dont get brainwashed to belive he is.
Tami
What makes you belive he is a muslim? He has said that he is a Christian. I dont get why people like you don’t get that :S .. Its like your trying to find faults with him just to hate him, when the only reason why you guys dont like him is because he is black.
And beeing a muslim has nothing to do with being a terrorist. Thats just stupid to think.
You know what is sad, the republicans who say they love Palin, all know she is an idiot and not at all qualified, but they would support her nevertheless because they just don’t want to support an intelligent black man who loves his country! This is what McCain/Palin are counting on, hence their terrorists, racists smear campaigns. They are reaching out to all the ignorant and racists Americans. Complain all you want we all know this is the TRUTH!!
Tami….
You are a typical ignorant racists American, and you are the people McCain/Palin are reaching out to, people like them!!! We all know Obama is not a muslim!!! Also, stop thinking all muslims are terrorists, many American muslims fought in the Iraq war and many Iraq muslims in Iraq fought side by side with American soldiers to fight terrorisms. Stop being hateful, ignorant and racists, Pick up a book and read!!!
Hanna, If you read the Carran (Islam’s “Bible”) it states clearly that if you are a Muslim for life, you cannot change your religion (as Obabma did - he was raised a Muslim until he was 35 and decided to run for office and suddenly he changed to Christianity - In the Carran if Muslim changes faith’s they will be put to death…..did you know the “Islam Center for America” is raising millions of dollars from the middle East to fund Obama’s campaign?? He is as much Christian as Saddam Hussein is. Don’t believe the crap ABC, NBC, OR CBS tells you!! PLEASE READ FOR YOURSELF http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2007/01/18/islam-in-obamas-closet/
I thought that even though she didn’t retaliate to the overt attacks she really handled it with grace. I KNOW that McCain would have turned red and flashed his “creepy” smile while she just rode it out in style. Truthfully, I believe that the Palin jokes last Saturday would have been just as harsh but with Palin appearing they didn’t seem as mean or as relevant to the real person.
With Palin there, the criticism of Palin seemed good-spirited and like more of a lampoon vs. political attacks disguised as jokes.
I think that although she didn’t do much punching back, her presence neutered the realistic nature of the jokes and attacks and turned them into “just jokes”. Which, in this day of political satire making up a large part of the populace’s access to news (see Colbert Report and the Daily Show) neutralizing political satire is as or more important than avoiding it.
This coming from Moammar Gadhafi:
“All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man [Obama]… [and] may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns” to his campaign, said Gadhafi.
Correct me, if I am wrong and not accurate with my history, but isn’t Gadhafi a known terrorist?
Hostas…..I forgot about that!! good quote! The sheeple on here scare the hell out of me..when they drink the koolaid but won’t read to learn rather call names and have a truly worthwhile debate.
Caring…again, what did I say about the muslims that you see is wrong?? Where exactly did I slight the Muslim’s?? See what I mean…none of you READ!!!!
Tami
Maybe the muslims donate mony there because they belive Obama will treat the U.S muslims good, still TODAY people disslikes muslims because of 9/11. You can NOT blame everybody because of some bad people. Thats just crazy. For exaple lets say that asian guy who chilled 33 people from his school was a christian ( maybe he is , I dont know?) .. would you hate all christians in for 7 years, and probably more than 7 years .. Would you?
And what says in the Carran doesn not effect Obama since he doesn’t BELIVE in Islam. If you dont belive in a religion then its hard for it to effect you, If you understand what I mean?
Hanna - if you are going to preach us about the Carran - learn how to spell it first!
You also must be too young to remember the 70’s & 80’s and the troubles Gadhafi caused in the Middle East. Look him up, not exactly a person I would want backing and supporting the President of the US. That is JUST wrong!
Hostas
I spelled the name Corran after I saw how Tami spelled it. If you are gonna complain about my spelling then you should check your other McCain/Palin supporters spelling.
Who every said Obama is FRIEND with that guy? Who ever said that guy will every effect any desicions Obama will do?
And every thoght about reverse phykologi? Maye that ex.terrorst ( lol ) supports him because he wanna get Obama a bad namne? Who knows why he really supports Obama, because they have nothing in commen.
common*
Knowing Gadhafi’s past and history with the goodl ol’ USA, if Obama received any contributions from him, he should have sent them back. Obviously, he took him from Gadhafi’s statements.
Just a history update, we didn’t bomb Gadhafi for no good reason!
The Holy Quran.
Wow, just think what the ratings would have been with HITLER?!!
Hostas
Thats just like saying ” knowing how bad George Bush has ruled this country McCain should send back the donations from the Bush family”
That doesn’t proove anything about Obama being a terroist because he accept donations. Or I can use the locik you use, McCain/Palin will rule this country exakly like Bush because he accept donations from him. In some mysterious way the money makes the person in your and all the other republicans mind.
LAME!!
Logic*
Hey Hostas and TAmi,
Stopping spewing hate. Who cares what colour a man’s skin is? or what his religious beliefs are? Why is it necessary to point out he’s a muslim? And if he’s saying he’s not then he’s not. And I believe its the Koran.
Its amazing to me that people can look at Sarah Palin and not be terrified. She had trouble obtaining a BA in Journalism (6 yrs, and over 4 institutions - each time lowering the bar), clearly has limited knowledge on foreign affairs, has very limited experience (Alaska is smaller than a lot of cities), and wants to push her agenda down people’s throats.
Why is it anyone’s decision (other than me, my partner, my doctor and my conscience) whether or not I choose to terminate a pregnancy (and by the way, NO ONE IS PRO-ABORTION but I am certainly PRO-CHOICE), she doesn’t want sex education taught in schools?
Really? Well we’ve seen how well pushing abstenance works, it gets you pregnant at 17, right Willow Palin?? She talks about the war in Iraq being God’s plan, it wasn’t God’s plan it was the BUSHES PLAN, a thousands and thousands of American soldiers have lost their lives fighting this dubious war. And aside from the horrific human cost, what about the cost to tax payers - the trillions that are being spent.
I’m still undecided, and I must say the amount of hate and racism I’ve seen from people regarding the candidates is truly frightening. It’s unfortunate that some of those vile remarks came from mccain/pailn supporters. It’s getting really ugly out there and just wish people would stick to the issues. Why is someone’s skin color an issue? age?, sex? religion?
I feel really bad for muslim, they have been cast in such a negative light. oh and it’s spelled Coran…
Let’s just be open minded people, ignorance isn’t bliss.
She’s too stupid to realize how dumb they think she is, and how much they condemn her, even when they do it to her face.
You know Biden was saying this weekend if it quacks like a duck it is a duck well why don’t you people realize that Obama is the biggest DUCK of All….1st off he is just half black and the other half is White…….When you are married to a women who gets on stage in front of thousands of people an says TODAY is the 1st time that I am proud to be an AMERICAN than what does that say……….HE has known frienamies that he QUACKS around with until the public becomes aware of and then he Disassociates himself from because some one got WISE WAKE UP Smell the DUCK and see who is QUACKING…………
I LOVE HER she is great
Soozie - I forgot to mention earlier - now you are saying Sarah’s other daughter is pregnant? Willow isn’t pregnant. And please, don’t bring the candidates’ children into this because Biden’s son is involved in a shite load of illegal criminal activity!
I LOVED THIS SKIT!! Wow, could you imagine if Sarah Palin actually rapped instead of Amy… The funniest part was when she shot the moose! This is a must see! I die laughing every time I replay it!
#9 that’s what I am talking about…..but see….the media and these liberal idiots just turn their cheek to it and sweep it under the rug….HE HAS MANY MANY MANY MANY RACIST TIES, TERRORIST TIES, RADICAL TIES, but people turn their cheek. IF that was McCain he would of NEVER been able to of made it this far….Obama took some very good public speaking classes and is able to look at people and lie right to their face…..he is a good talker….with little to no real promise. He has lied from day one. He short sticked Hillary and now will try McCain…..even with ALL the media on Obamas side……McCain is sticking right in the polls with him! If McCain didn’t have these liberal blogs spitting lies to kids, and the liberal media lying to adults…..he would win by a landslide…….not to mention…Obama has all this money rolling in to make commercials that yet again lie to the public……I have never in my life seen such a snake…..and his wife…..that’s a whole other racist story……..
#30……..You need to do research please…….before you vote….he has slipped that he is Muslim….he was enrolled as a Muslim in school….his family showed ABC pictures of him as a adult in Muslim garb….he doesn’t salute the flag…….until told so by his people…….his birth certificate is somehow missing….you can’t even get a drivers id or a job sometimes without a birth certificate but you can someone be a president? There are many many videos on you tube where you see him in his Muslim garb………..there are videos where he is making fun of the bible and Christian churches….it was only after coming under fire did he act like a Christian…….stop letting certain media outlets and Obamas persuasive speeches get to you…..DO YOUR RESEARCH…he is most def. A MUSLIM.!!!!!!!! Friends have admitted that…..but he has to conceal it due to losing votes, and being under fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention….don’t call anyone racist but Obama and all of his RACIST TIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REV WRIGHT ANYONE? M. OBAMA ANYONE? EXACTLY. GET REAL!!!!!!
Hahahaha!!!!!! Love her, that’s all! McCain/Palin08!!!
These are some of the dumbest comments I have ever seen! I love that most of the people calling Palin stupid don’t now how to spell or make complete sentences. If you have to point out that your being sarcastic your probably not very good at it. And why is it that people who want to call someone racist and hateful are so hateful themselves.
Dman,
please do not comment on other people’s use of grammar or their spelling….
“that your being sarcastic your probably not very good at it” SHOULD ACTUALLY BE: that you’re (or you are) being sarcastic, you’re (or your are) probably not very good at it.
I bet folks here supporting McPain/Palin are the same ones that voted for Bush.
When are ya’ll gonna learn?
We DO NOT need another dumb monkey and his running moose for 8 more years. He has pretty much made a mess of the US.
I love this piece, and think that Sarah Palin did fantastic. What I was surprised with in this segment was that Alec Baldwin was in it. He was spewing hate about Sarah Palin in another show. I think that it is a lot scarier to think that if a person was to ask a simple question about a candidates tax plan, that they should not worried about any retaliation. (no matter what party you are from).
There are so many things to worry about with Obama, and not about him personally, but the company he keeps. Is he a pawn?? There are too many shady characters mixed in with his crowd, and I hope people would recognize this. I am not saying that he is a bad guy, just that he made wrong choices like many of us do, but, he is running for Presidency, and of course they are help up to a higher standard.
No hate from me…just know that whoever takes office will have a lot of work cut out for them.
However, the only dislikes that I have is the corruptness of the media, and celebrities who should just stick to what they do best….and that is…ACT!
Good luck on voting, everyone!
hostas @ 10/20/2008 at 11:51 am Some people on here have failed to remember that Bill Clinton was on SNL the first time he was up for election!

Thanks for reminding us of that, hostas! Wonder if it’s on youtube.

yes, whoever becomes the President…will have his work cut out for sure and the best person for that is very obviously Barack Obama.
McPain is too old, sneaky, very nervous and unstable person plus he may not last 4 years, What we don’t need is Sarah Palin….if McPain does not last. I am still shaking my head about McPain making her his running mate. Stupid decision….. which makes me very wary of any other decision he makes and for the right reason.

Glad that you are passionate about your candidate, and everyone has a right to feel the way they do. I believe that is what makes our country so great!
I, have my own beliefs of who I want for Presidency, and I respect everyone’s choice. There is a great responsibility for anyone running for President. Their lives are up there for everyone to masscre, but, they knew exactly what they were getting into. The one thing that scares me is when too much hatred is spewed into wishing harm to another person. Being passionate is one thing, but, having hatred is completely different.
These candidates are all worthy to run, but, WE the people have the say in who will run our country. I love the U.S. of A., and know that my sister and brother have fought for this country, because there is no place on earth like it.
Wishing only the best for each candidacy.
I don’t mind McCain, it’s Sarah that freaks me out. Can you imagine her running the white house..KABOOM
Go OBAMA!! He is for REAL CHANGE!! Vote OBAMA!!!!
# 61…..
fyi…I am not at all passionate about voting for Obama. Actually, I don’t care for either candidate…but, aim to vote for the one that I think would do the less damage. We don’t need 8 more years of horror.
I believe McPain will follow a similar course like Bush.
We don’t need to continue this horror show with McPain/Palin!
#61-
on second thought- I don’t even believe that the word- “passionate” belongs in this voting scene.
The voters need to use their heads/brains and vote for the candidate that can do a much better job and repair the big damages done by Bush.
Palin as VP is such a shocker and a joke,
all you people who come out to say you love sarah palin and all the dumb **** she believes in are saying that just so your friends and family dont know that deep down come election day, you’re gonna vote for obama because hes the better choice.
Many people are reluctant to say that the reason they are not voting for Obama is because he is a black man. So they hang onto any and all lies they can find. Obama is a decent family man who is now in Hawaii visiting his white grand mother. but he looks black and the poor, uneducated whites cannot get over those looks.
Alaska is smaller than most cities???? You must mean population-wise, because physically it is the biggest state. But anyway, all you republicans seem to enjoy talking about grammar and spelling. So I’m quite sure you all didn’t let Governor Palin’s use of the [incorrect] word “nucular” (instead of nuclear) slip past your fine-tuned ears.
Brilliantly stated katie n
This woman is so disgusting! It’s a joke and a nightmare that something like this can run for vice president in the U.S. People all over the world (including me) are shaking their head.
LOL the weekend update skit where Amy Poehler shot that moose was priceless. “Caribou Barbie” off the remark comments about which parts of America are more pro-Americacan is dividing this country. She needs go practice her pageant walk back to Alaska.
Here is something interesting about the media, and what FOX is saying in response to those that say they don’t want to roll over……! Good for FOX, for not succumbing to the ‘Taylor’s’ (Mr. Smith goes to washington) in the corrupt media world.
“Greg Gutfeld
So Obama thinks that FOX News has hurt him in the polls, saying that even if he watched us, he wouldn’t vote for himself either.
Now, I don’t think he’s wrong. I actually think FOX News does go after him. But hell, someone has to.
For my whole life, every network has been uniformly, heart-bleedingly liberal. Nearly every damn magazine, newspaper and after-school special spits out the same lefty assumptions — rich people greedy, Republicans bad, America evil — as though they are suffering from a Marxist version of Tourette.
And Obama is their guy.
That’s why today, every anchor has a woodie for him, and every star-struck pop singer offers the Messiah their services for free. And there’s the late night comics, who hammer Republicans seven times more often than Dems. It’s just too easy to be funny.
But despite all this, you still have twerps soiling their diapers over FOX News just because it won’t comply with an overarching liberal theocracy. You’ve got celebrity cretins like Tim Robbins, watchdog weenies like Media Matters and crybaby cranks like Keith Olbermann suffering seizures because FOX won’t roll over.
I say, stop being a bunch of *******, you pretty much own the airwaves.
And as for you Obama, stop acting like a kid who complains because you got a 98 instead of a perfect grade. Seriously, you don’t need mindless obedience from everyone to win.
So Obama, if you’re expecting people here to kiss your ass, you’ll need to go elsewhere. I hear there’s a guy at MSNBC with a thrill up his leg dying to give you a sponge bath.
And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler.

Masina—
huh? Seems you have two more personalities.
Don’t know where you got that crap you just spurted out….
Something really wrong with you!
Go Palin & McCain
I do not know how anyone could put a republican in office after the last 8 years. They fooled everyone into believing no one could handle anything after 911 except for bush, now he has our country in a war we shouldn’t be in, the worst economic time in years, worst gas prices until the past week. I hope the ones that voted for him have the sense to realize their mistake. I do not think that McCain will be any different. As for Sarah, that is just a bad choice all the way around. I would say the same if she was a democrat. Her accusations and the conduct at her rallies makes me not like her at all. She accuses Obama of hanging around terrorist, that is just wrong. She already has the racists on her side so I feel she is only appealing to them. She is turning off the rest that have a brain and have not decided yet.
