Saturday Night Live – Palin/Biden Debate Spoof

Posted by Raymond in Featured, Politics, Videos | 0 comments

Tina Fey once again reprised her role as Sarah Palin, in last night’s SNL Biden/Palin Debate Spoof.

Along with SNL cast member Jason Sudeikis, as Joe Biden, and Queen Latifah as Ifill,  Fey offered a parody of last week’s vice presidential debate.

This time Fey poked fun at the Alaska governor for dodging specifics by repeating the Republican ticket’s “maverick” theme.

“We’re gonna ask ourselves what would a maverick do in this situation, and then ya’ know, we’ll do that,” Fey (As Palin) responded when pressed on how to deal with the financial crisis.

The kick of the night seemed to be when she was asked about benefits for same-sex couples: “I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers,”  in a clear reference to her pregnant, teen-aged daughter who is due to marry the child’s father.

The spoof also ridiculed Biden, picking on his friendship with Republican candidate John McCain.

“Look, I love John McCain. He is one of my dearest friends. But at the same time, he’s also dangerously unbalanced … He’s bad at his job, and mentally unstable. As my mother would say, God love him, but he’s a raging maniac — and a dear, dear friend.”
