Could It Really Happen?
October 9th, 2008 by Evil BeetWe’re hearing more and more talk about Sarah Palin making a guest appearance on SNL at some point before the election.
Lorne Michaels, per usual, is refusing to answer any questions about her specifically, but he’s definitely not doing anything to quash the buzz. He revealed that the McCain campaign called after the first Palin sketch to say that they really enjoyed it.
What do you guys think?
Would an SNL appearance by Palin help the McCain campaign in the final stretches of this race?
Before you leave a comment, please make sure you've read our Guide to Commenting. It could save you a great deal of embarrassment.
She would make a complete fool of herself…. but it would be very entertaining :)
Miranda> At least it’ll be easy for her to make a fool of herself and have it be believable, some people are just not great actresses.
How very Bill Clinton/saxophone/Arsenio Hall show-ish…appealing to the everyday people.
I thought the McCain party already confirmed this?
It’s not like McCain and Obama both haven’t been appealing to the everyday people by going on the nightly talk shows…their wives have gone on that harpy show the View at least once.
I think she’d be funny.
It would definitely help… she’s good looking and ballsy, would be funny with her and Tina Fey together… if it goes over well, could help with younger vote who seem to flock to That One because he’s well spoken.
Palin has already stated once that she has dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween before. I think her appearance on the show would be great for the campaign……
I hope Palin does show up, and does a spoof of herself suggesting that Obama is a Muslim terrorist and outsider, while people in the audience shout “terrorist” and “kill him!” like they did during a few of her rallies. Oh, that would be grand.
I like to keep my Tine Fey comedy, my version of reality.
I don’t want the real thing, that would just piss me off!
Smoky, she actually said she was considering it for this Halloween as a joke.
I personally do not want SNL considering this. It’s mostly because I dislike her very much. I also don’t think she deserves the forum to pretend she’s good at self-deprecation.
I think she ought to appear from one side of the stage, at the same time as Tina Fey appears from the other side. See how long it takes people to work out which is which!
At this point, NOTHING will save that sinking ship! Yay for swiftboat justice! Hahahaha!
Honestly, there’s just about nothing that McCain/Palin can do now to pull out a win. It’s too late. With the economy the way it is there’s no way he’ll get elected now.
Even if it didn’t help the race, it would be a ratings phenom. Especially if the rumors about Palin spoofing Fey are true. I don’t think they want her on to be PALIN, but to spoof FEY. I bet the writers would have fun with that!
I guess this is their idea of an October surprise?
Video of senile old McCain losing his mind:

McCain/Palin what a ticket…old senile guy and a ditzy soccer mom who believes dinosaurs walked the earth only a couple thousand years ago with men.
@ DP
They did.
WTF do they teach people in schools now a days? Dinosaurs and men did not exist at the same time, the only mammals that walked the earth with dino’s were small four legged animals, I mean, hello, carbon dating!
Next thing you know your gonna try telling me is that world is flat.
Carbon dating has been proven wrong OVER AND OVER.
And I don’t believe in a theory, thanks. It’s so degrading to think that people actually think that humans evolved from a monkey.
And yes, I did go to a christian school, OMG.
Evolution doesn’t state that people came from monkeys. It says we share a common ancestor, millions of years ago. (As we do farther back with cats… or if you’re a dog person, canines.)
Which a good education with even a modicum of science would have told you.
Keightlynn, if you don’t believe in theories, what do you believe in? Just curious. Sincerely so.
Keightlynn, you are seriously getting on my nerves lately! you are always the goody two shoes, church lady, borderline bigot. Poof! Be gone!
I’m a creationist. I believe in intelligent design. Because to me, one minute some small piece of matter that poofed out of nowhere than collided with who knows what then evolved over a bunch of years, defying all odds in the process, to make what we have now, is a joke.
@ just me
You and me should go out and enjoy Jello Shots sometime. I’ll buy.
I’m an exhibitionist. I believe in intelligently designed trench coats. Because to me, one minute my small piece of matter poofed out of nowhere then collided with a small crowd of women and it evolved over seconds, defying all odds to cum in one big explosion to make the bastard kid we have now.
But is your theory really at odds with the notion of evolution? Couldn’t evolutionary development just be the odds written in by the original intelligent designer? The original intelligent designer would be working at a level of being that is incomprehensible to us, with our limited sense of time.
Carbon Dating has been proven to be incorrect in some cases, but I’m pretty sure it’s still used and is still quite accurate.
But just like any other type of “scientific” test, whether it is carbon dating, DNA, or even a basic blood work, there are also numerous of variables you have to also take into account, and these methods are becoming more and more accurate as time passes and we learn from our mistakes.
Oh, and just because you saw Fred and Barney walking around with dinosaurs doesn’t count as proof that they did. That’s a cartoon, it’s not real.

Let me guess you read the instructions about not putting the plastic bag over your head from the inside right?
Since you are christian=joke, tell me this, what purpose do mosquitos serve? According to your logic and “book” everything has a place. Tell me where they fit in?
Also I do believe that there was a man named jesus back then. It was as common as other names, like John, James, and so forth.
@ Steve Johnson
That name was so common that several graves with the name “Jesus” have been found, and studied, only later to find out that it was just some dude named Jesus.
And if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t the Veil of Veronica was found to be a fraud, as well as the shroud of Jesus, also a fraud.
I forgot the ? at the end of my question.
In the beginning, there was nothing. Then the scarab god Khepri both created and was raised from Nu, the watery abyss. From the abyss, Khepri created the heavens, the earth, and everything.
purplemonkeypaws don’t get me wrong I am totally for evolution. All of the things that you state are correct. I have read and watched endless arguments about the Shroud of Turin-jesus’s burial cloth. The last one I saw said that it was painted.
I have no clue as to what the Vail of Veronica is, please enlighten me, it must be some other thing for the christians to grab on to as proof.

The funny thing is, is if read a lot of the creation stories from various Cultures, they are the same.
Different characters and places, but the same story….
well its sad to say,but I think Steve Johnson is definately going to hell

Although I love Egypt and everything about it, if that is what you are speaking, religion is flawed there also. Read up on Akhenaten “the Heretic Pharoah.” Even way back then no one could agree on one “religion.”

You took your SATs with a crayon, I presume?
If there is a “hell” we are living in it now. Also since the forces of good-religion-christianity and all that crap, are waging a war on the bad-devil and hell, why has the devil never been defeated? I mean what year is it?
Also Satan was originally an angel according to your “book.”
When you are buried you become compost and worm food. Recycled in other words. That is where it ends. Besides if you are a “christian” why do they dig into the Earth to bury you? Isn’t that placing you closer to “hell?”
purplemonkeypaws—finally someone intelligent to have a discussion with!!!!! Thank you!
Steve Johnson
The veil of veronica, Veronica, I think was a Saint and was at the Crucifixion.
The veil is holy because it’s what her tears fell on, as well as something she used to wipe the blood, sweat and tears from Jesus as he carried his cross to the hill through the crowds.
I think, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to school and studied religion and such, so I could be wrong.
Definitely the same story. The operative word is “story”.
Satan, or Lucifer was one of the highest in the order of Angels, he was an Archangel like Micheal and Gabriel.
When Lucifer disagreed with God on creating man, mostly because he was jealous, he and one third of all of heavens angels rose up against God.
There was a battle and Lucifer, and all his followers were banished from heaven, to roam among man.
@ Steven Johnson
Congratulations! You have reached a new level of stupidity today!
I have never met you, but judging from your bitter and cranky demeanor I am betting that you are either short, fat, bald….or all of the above.
Now don’t talk about things that are beyond your comprehension. Leave that to us big boys…. Don’t make me pull down your Osh Kosh B’gosh panties and show everybody your shortcummings!
TSS, you’re repeating your insults. Although, kudos for adapting for gender.

I see you read my posts to the Beet. Yes I am all of the above. Thanks for stating the obvious. As for you being a big boy, that made me guffaw. Break it down into syllables if you need to, clap it out-gu ffaw. There you go. Your PHd is really straining my GED.
If I wanted to hear from someone with intellect it would not be you. And your witty attempt to spell things naughty is really awesome can you show me how you do it? I mean I am in awe.
purplemonkeypaws-Thanks for the Vail of Veronica description. I have not studied the matter in years do to the smallmindedness of the religious set. They believe if it is not in print, that it did not happen. According to their logic the new planets that were found in the last couple of years are made up since they were not in books when they went to school. The state of education.
You are right about the Lucifer deal. It is really funny, christians will talk you to death yet if you talk to a satanist they know more about christianity than most of them do.

TSS is a internet bully. No matter what I say or anyone else says he has to have the last word. That way he seems right. He picks on everyone and see who he can antagonize. I write him/her back because I am bored and he/she makes me feel go about myself. Realizing I don’t have to get up in the morning and be him/her or “that person.”
meant to say makes me feel good about myself
Steve Johnson
Where have been my whole life? It’s not every day you stumble upon some one who you can casually debate/chat issues and ideas…
Frankly Steve, I think an internet bully is someone who degrades people who are either religious or do not follow your theory of how the world began. SATs & Crayons? Really?
At least TSS is humorous and does not come off as a sanctimonious pig.
@ Steve Johnson,
I apologize… seriously… I’m sorry.
I honestly did NOT read any “posts to Beet”… I was just making an educated guess that you were “bald, fat, or short” based on the tone of your comments.
You seemed to be indemnifying comments that weren’t even directed toward you with hostility and conjecture. It’s a defense mechanism known as “compensation” that’s commonly seen in people with physical disadvantages.
Anyway, like I said, I’m sorry and will no longer say anything about you or to you. Feel free to take shots at me….make them funny though.
Oh and that was a good one:
I am a internet bully… I pick on everyone and see who I can antagonize… and then I hug em and squeeze em and call em George.
LOL….nice.
Eyes of Green
Sorry to have offended you. I don’t mean to be this way but when people only state one side and then run off at the mouth, I feel I must interject. As for my comment about taking SAT’s with a crayon yes it was crass but is to prove a point. Really and trully if you believe in a religion, fine, just don’t spew that stuff like it is the dog’s bollocks and that is the only answer to any and all questions about the issue.
If you find TSS amusing so be it. At least he/she has a fan. I am not commenting to see what status I can gain or who praises me. I could care less. The reason you want to call me out? Did I do something that someone else on here has not done time and again to other individuals. Please go back and look at all the posts. I rarely comment. This post caught my attention. I have not done anything out of the ordinary. In fact I believe that I have cut the vast majority slack. As for TSS being humorous, to each his/her own. Am I supposed to bow down to him? Does he rule this site or the “intranet”if so please let me know and I will check with my administrator to get permission to be on this thing he owns.

I have been around but as soon as I say something on here, people tend to rip me a new asshole. It is cool though, that is why I never post. Things get out of hand, like all of the stuff above. That and certain people have fan clubs and defenders on here. It is worse than myspace.

I thought you had read some of my other posts. Sorry. I have stated my description on here several times. No worries though. It doesn’e bug me and I doubt I am “compensating.” I am just bored. To get into a linguistics battle with you is pointless. I do not know you just what you have posted. For the most part I find it droll. No offense but the stuff you post I have seen time and again on other sites. Who knows you may be posting every where. If that is the case, cool deal, not trying to knock you off your perch at the top. Apparently you have quite the following and fan club on here so I will leave you be. I promise I will not post anymore because people on here hate me being myself, which is an asshole. I was just trying to have an intelligent conversation, a back and forth if you will. But I guess I made a joke of someone and then they got upset and now it is a whole ordeal and I find myself trying to defend my actions even though I have seen it done on here time and again.
TSS you have your site back, I will never bother you again, so you may reignn supreme. I may still read the posts but never the comments again as I guess I need to stfu since my opinion does not matter. Funny, since every one is allowed to post comments as long as they do not spam. I must just rub people the wrong way. Story of my life, being short, fat, bald and ugly. :)
Now I’m sad…crap…and I have to go work soon…double crap.
It really sucks when you can’t even have a civil discussion, comment board, without some one slinging insults all the time.
I don’t mind it, when it’s good nature, but some take it too far and only look for post to pick apart and make mean comments about the authors of those posts.
I don’t find it amusing at all, in fact it’s annoying and immature.
I’m not saying I’m not guilty of doing it as well, but it’s a habit for some, and a bad one at that.
