Seeing as how I don’t have cable any more (didn’t watch it lots, yet it cost lots), I didn’t see this Saturday Night Live episode, but this opening is just awesome. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin (and she NAILS IT!), and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton, stand together for a “nonpartisan message” for the United States. Check it out:

I always thought Sarah Palin looked like a celebrity, but I couldn’t recall whom. Don’t know why I didn’t even think of Tina Fey… she totally does.

Seems that Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and one of John McCain’s advisors, didn’t see the humour in the sketch:

“The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial,” McCain advisor Carly Fiorina told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday. “I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes I would say sexist.”

The Fey/Poehler sketch satirized such topics as Palin’s religious beliefs and foreign policy.

“Just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance. She has a lot of substance,” Fiorina said.

Good lord, Carly. Take a pill.
