What's your take on SP's upcoming appearance on SNL?

[tblue]

:shrug: Is that really gonna happen?

:puke:I don't want her there. I do not like the idea of humanizing the wolf-killa from Wasilla.

[Trajan]

1. My take is:

Wont watch it ....

I will take my business elsewhere ...

[StopTheNeoCons]

27. Email NBC-SNL, tell them you wont watch

2. It's very likely that they'll satirize her and it'll go completely over SP's head

I mean the only confirmation she's actually seen SNL was that she watched Tina Fey with the sound MUTED.

So yeah, I think chances are good that she will play the unwitting straight man.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. If she goes on SNL after the Philly's puck drop, she's a glutton for punishment.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. Net plus for her, unfortunately.

Wudda country!

[KathieG]

5. I won't be able to stomach it...I think they will lose viewers if she goes on.

[sunnybrook]

6. SNL has no soul

Of course they have been doing some great skits this season. But Lorne Michaels cares about the ratings and should in no way be seen as some kind of partner... Her appearance on the show will soften her image, and she will appear "charming" and able to laugh at herself just a week or two before the election. There is no way they will be TOTALLY ridiculing her to her face. In fact she will probably request that they ridicule Biden or the press or Obama and it will be soft humor with TIna Fey at her side. That's my prediction, unfortunately.

Edited to add: McCain/Palin may also score big points with Letterman too, do not count on them not scoring on there.

[Kerrytravelers]

7. Because this is a woman who has now incited violence, I will no longer watch SNL.

[stuntcat]

23. Exactly. Palin should be brushed under the rug and forgotten.

I bet a LOT of money will be earned from her appearance :puke:

[StopTheNeoCons]

24. Boycott SNL, write an email to NBC and tell them "NO FREEPERS"

[StopTheNeoCons]

26. Email NBC/SNL, tell them you don't want to see Palin on the show

8. I hate the idea, and as I said last night....I would never watch it again.

I just can't bare the thought of her actually being on there....

[sunnybrook]

10. If it makes us this sick at our stomachs

What would it be like to be Tina Fey? I pity her!

[book_worm]

9. Since many politicians have appeared I'm not surprised but Biden should be asked too

out of fairness.

[ShortnFiery]

28. Hey, how about invite Biden to apear along side her on THE SAME SHOW?!?

Now that would be fair? ;)

[BlooInBloo]

11. I'll believe it when I see it.

[terrya]

17. Same here.

[gravity]

12. I don't think it will help her out

Candidates go on SNL to show that they don't have to be taken so seriously all the time. Sarah Palin has the opposite problem.

[begin_within]

13. She just wants to kill Tina Fey.

[C_U_L8R]

14. if it's a NYer audience

she'll be booed off the island

[opihimoimoi]

18. SNL cheapens itself with the mere thought.....Bad Move....trust me, Bad Move

[book_worm]

19. No, it's different than a sporting event. Many politicians have been on SNL and haven't been booed

[ailsagirl]

15. Won't watch it-- I don't want her there -- she'd just contaminate the show

I wish hundreds of people would call in and complain... Of course, once she's booked, they can't very well cancel-- :(

[Cha]

16. I don't like it at all..It's like condoning the hate fests she throws.

[ailsagirl]

20. Excellent point

[Raschel]

34. I agree. It's not like she's just stupid. Now she's stupid and hateful.

They should not encourage her. She's a hatemongering bigot.

[Cha]

37. Especially since she contacted them.

I read somewhere that the creator Lorne Michaels is a repuke supporter though..so we'll see what happens.

[Raschel]

39. She contacted them? Ugh. The country is in financial straits, she's whipping up hate, and all she

can think of is, "cool, I get to meet hawkey players and go on SNL and ride in limos!!!"

[BlueIdaho]

21. Won't watch...

Going to do all I can to convince anyone I know not to watch - and - I told SNL that too.

[Cha]

31. No problem with me not

watching..ratings need to go down.

[BlueIdaho]

35. Yeah - I told SNL I hoped their ratings tanked that night. nm.

[LynneSin]

22. A liberal hockey crowd booed Palin in front of her kids....

I highly doubt a liberal NYC audience will be any better.

[Cha]

33. Have you seen this article?

"If it is not, she has partly herself to blame. During her last visit to Philadelphia during the weekend of September 27, 2008, she made two huge blunders that did not go unnoticed by Philadelphians. The first, as reported in The Philadelphia Inquirer last Sunday, October 5, 2008, is that she actually attempted to leave her hotel for a jog wearing a New York Rangers' jersey. The second, in response to the first, is that she displayed how little she knows about hockey and sports, to one of sports’ most passionate fan bases. No hockey fan in their right mind would show up in Philadelphia wearing a jersey of a New York team, or vice-versa, without expecting some sort of fight to ensue."

40. She went to some fancy fundraiser in Philly before the hockey event

and told the crowd there she was cheering on the Rangers. How WHACK was that. I swear to god if the Secret Service was not all over her they would have pelted her with Tomatoes.

Instead she used her daughter (and she admitted to it too) and a shield by putting a Flyers jersey on the 7year old girl. Now that is really WHACK!

[Essene]

42. WOW... i didnt know about this!!

[Occam Bandage]

25. It will happen, and it will be a win for her. Fortunately, such wins are few for them.

[ShortnFiery]

29. Bring in Biden appearance along side ole Palin for "the other side"? Work with THAT!

:thumbsup:

[terrya]

30. IF this actually happens, I still hope the teleprompter will "malfunction"

But bringing Biden in...as a complete surprise...is a good one. :-)

[lamp_shade]

32. I won't be staying up for it.

[qanda]

36. The Democrats should get their talking points ready now--

She can't show up on NBC to answer questions from a journalist, but she can show up to yuck it up on an entertainment program. These are serious times which require serious answers to the many problems we're facing. Don't the voters deserve more?

[TexasObserver]

38. I think it will be a monumental bust for Palin.

First, her voters don't watch SNL and wouldn't think it funny, if they did.

Second, that audience will hate her. New York City? No.

Third, she won't be funny, because she won't agree to do anything that is really funny. She'll want to play Tina Fey, and she won't bring it off.

We'll be laughing AT her, not WITH her.

[Essene]

41. extremely risky for her

for the 5% chance that she could show a more humble side and defuse some of the hate directed at her, there's a 95% chance she's going to face similar if not harsher treatment than she did on the philly hockey ice.

[asdjrocky]

43. Not gonna happen.
