Tina Fey at "30 Rock" SNL's Perfect Palin


NBC's Saturday Night Live team gave fans a perfect parody of Sarah Palin with Tina Fey's return to 30 Rockefeller Center last night.

Amy Poehler portrayed the tougher stereotypical view of Hillary Clinton in sharp contrast to the clear likeability quotient of Sarah Palin. If we've learned one thing during this campaign, the likeability factor remains King or Queen.

Fey hit the mark on every media discussion point of recent days by covering the difference between pitbulls and pigs, Palin's foreign policy experience "I can see Russia from my house," and professing her service as mayor of the "crystal meth capitol of Alaska." SNL fans should expect to see more of Fey's Palin. It seems only fitting at this point, if we can't cry over the election mess, we'll just have to laugh. Again.
