The SNL Palin/Clinton sketch

For those of you who haven't seen this yet:




Pretty funny, but then that's what you'd expect from Fey and Poehler This has to be manna from heaven for them. It's so funny it apparently caused McCain surrogate Carly Fiorina to completely lose her sense of humor.

"The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin," McCain advisor Carly Fiorina told [MSNBC's Andrea] Mitchell, continuing, "and so in that sense they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive and Sarah Palin as totally superficial. I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes I would say, sexist in the sense that just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean she lacks substance."

Obviously, what we need is more respectful satire. I'll get right on it.

By the way, I read this morning that Carly Fiorina will no longer be doing surrogate appearances for the McCain / Palin campaign, not after she told America that neither Palin nor McCain was qualified to run a big U.S. corporation, not even one that had fired her. Sweet karma indeed.
