EDIT: Sorry, sports fans - YouTube must've taken it down. You know, since "Saturday Night Live" doesn't air free on NBC in the first place, or anything ...

I missed this!

The best political barometer in America - Saturday Night Live!

You know all my railing about fandom feminists that used to take up my journal - i.e., the mindset that a woman can do no wrong? I stopped to keep peace in the fandom ... I never realized I was going to see that mindset pop up in the real world SO DAMN FAST (though I did suspect with all these women around who yell that you can't criticize a woman just because she's a woman - yeah, I figured it would come up sooner or later where it matters).

Good thing I've had my boot camp. ;-)

Go Tina and Amy! DAMN she has Palin's voice down perfectly.

And has anyone asked her about dinosaurs yet? Matt Damon and I would like to know, because that's important.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she believes your tiny animated dinosaur is as real as they get. ;-)

See, the reason the Young Earth theory is so insidious is not just that it's utterly badwrongno science. It's the fact that EVERY KID would like to believe that people walked with dinosaurs! Hell, I'd still like to believe it. I think I even used to have a book where a brontosaurus had a human pal. It's a real shame it isn't true :)

OH that was toooo perfect!

And scary.

I keep saying, the ones that already love Palin will not change, what is needed is to show the rest of the undecided and unmotivated the dangers of someone like that in power, and get them to get off their butts and vote.

Does Palin remind you of anyone?

Her fans love her because they envision her totally in charge. They love that she has the men around her either too much in awe of her to say much of anything, or befuddled by her looks. She's clearly the one in charge in the marriage. No matter how she messes up, she can do no wrong.

And she's female.

Did you think you'd be seeing this mindset transfer to the real world from fandom so quickly in your lifetime?

That is too funny. I wonder what "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" has to say about the Sarah Palin things. They are pretty irreverent as well.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I haven't listened to that in forever. I have a lot of Saturday routines that were upset when I moved states and jobs. I need to make an effort to listen again.

Here's a link to last week's podcast.

Thanks! A bunch on there to trawl through!

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

I was just going to go in search of this vid - thanks for posting it, I had to snag it for my own journal.

Hilarious, but oh so true.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Well, if you snagged, you're SOL - YouTube has taken it down.

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

I got a link from the NBC site itself.

[lise-ann.livejournal.com]

Gahhh I can't see it... it's gone *pouts*

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I sorry. :-(

(Check my f-list. It could be somebody there has found a way to download and save.)

[the-dala.livejournal.com]

There's a version on Hulu that I believe has NBC's approval so it won't be taken down (SNL has always been a real dick about YouTube).

[venusinchains.livejournal.com]

the_dala's right; there's a version available on Hulu - if you don't mind the initial Splenda commercial. (I dun stealt't!)

All the fabulous humor on this topic just might get me to start paying attention to the real thing. (Though I'm pretty sure doing so won't change my vote. :P)
