There is nothing more attractive than a Comedic woman who can rap. Is there?
To think Amy Poehler might have been a McCain supporter in a past life

Palin solidified that she is expecting tv celebrity, but not the vp position. thank goodness.
Obama 08!
You will pay for this.
Sarah asked me to send you to Guantanamo as soon as we are elected president.
beautiful
I am sorry I missed SNL last night! This is hysterical!
Wow…
SNL waz great last night.
Terrible but interesting. Is it really necessary for our leaders to display themselves this way? I did not say who I was voting for…so …take it easy.— I know it is political satire and all…as well.
That Palin can sit through the mockery of her character and dance to it accentuates her inappropriateness for the vp office.
WOW!!!! Poehler was so not kidding! This was probably the most astounding political satire ever televised. BRILLIANT!
When i say Obama, you say Ayers!!!
No Chicago crooks in the Whitehouse!!!
That was the funniest thing iv ever seen. I totally lost it.
MCCAIN/PALIN 08!
That was hilarious! The fact that she can take the jokes that people make about her and just not let them affect her shows that she is ready for the VP spot in office!
McCain.Palin 08′ WHOO!
Hey thanks for those lyrics! I just replayed SNL’s skit a million time to get my version. I found some clashes and what I’ve found the most is at one point instead of saying “maveriks” she says “mommies”.
I think my version with the mommies is more true because how everyone calls her a “soccer mom”. So just something to think about! Although you did update the rest of mine. =]
She may have to re-write her inaugural address in rhyme. Exclusive advance copy:
http://abstractplane.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/sarah-palins-inaugural-address/
She obviously doesn’t understand she’s being mean-spiritedly mocked by writers and performers who really, really don’t like her.
And the lines about Obama and Ayers, about Jeremiah Wright, and about “red meat” show that those aren’t actual jokes about Obama, or criticisms, they’re making fun of Palin’s role in the campaign, and of the McCain/Palin campaign as a whole, which relies on nothing but connecting Obama to Ayers and Wright.
to anyone who found that even remotely amusing … you have zero taste and are in desparate need of a life.
I’m of the opinion that Amy launched herself into superstardome.
that was great
I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE EVEN DID THE SHOW AT ALL! WHAT IS THIS CRAZY WOMAN THINKING? THE SONG SAYS IT ALL, BUT TELL ME THIS, WHY WOULD SHE PUT HERSELF THROUGH IT ON SNL?
Have you seen Powell’s endorsement of Obama yet? Watch the full video, it rocks.
http://pageslap.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/colin-powell-endorses-obama-and-finally-raises-the-muslim-question-properly/
BRILLIANT
We thought it was great! You know, I can appreciate someone who can take a joke and play along…..noone seemed to mind when slick Willie was stumping with his saxaphone on Arsenio…..all you baby liberals probably don’t remember that…..
Powell says, “It shouldn’t matter if Obama was Muslim.” Wrong. Call me ignorant if you want to but I can’t forget that we were attacked by Muslims just 7 short years ago. I’ll give you that not ALL Muslims hate America or Christians. But if they are following the Koran devoutly, they are instructed to punish the infidels (guess who that is?). So yes, I’ve got a problem with electing someone to the most powerful position in the world if he is Muslim.
Powell supports Obama. Big surprise. He wouldn’t want to be the only African American besides Bill Cosby to be anti-Obama. It’s just not cool.
brilliant!
um, brilliant. now I’ve said it twice.
Do you have a video about that SNL with Sarah and that naughty slut Tina Failin?
We need this as evidence so that we can send that bitch to Guantanamo after I am elected president.
Thanks for the lyrics! The sketch was beautiful.
Wow, where to begin.
Palin is an insult to my intelligence and has ruined McCain’s elect-ability quotient among thinking people. By thinking I do not mean the “intelligentsia.” I mean people who think.
I would say she has achieved this almost single-handedly but McCain’s erratic behavior — which includes choosing Sarah — has been his own undoing.
Her brilliant role on SNL was to watch a train wreck (her flaws) with a forced smile, her tongue in the side of her mouth in derision, a sigh — or most frightening, her jive moves while her worst characteristics were put to rap music (Well executed by Amy, btw).
It scares me that people believe because Sarah was willing to sit by and watch herself be crucified on national TV that she would make a great VP or president. I think that makes her unwise and the McCain strategists complete fools. Also, kind of mean, those GOP advisers to throw her under the bus like that.
Among her own cadre of fans, she was refreshing, brave, adorable, likeable. Among her advocates, we laughed (and feared for the future of our nation). Among the **only** group the Repubs should care about right now — undecided, independent voters — she did herself (and John) no favors.
If you like her a lot, as some posters do, kindly petition that she join next season’s American Idol (she plays the flute and pageant walks) or Dancing with the Stars (helluva jig and tap dance, I’ve heard, particularly during hard questions and congressional investigations). She could also compete on Survivor with her moose-huntin’, bear-eatin’, buffalo-wrestlin’ skills (or did I mix these up?).
I guess she could also be on Wheel of Fortune so long has they had no words that end in “g” or with more than two syllables (maverick excluded, of course).
Just keep her far away from the White House.
But this is America, so whether you’re blue, red or feeling a little purple, please exercise your right to vote on Nov. 4. (Some common sense, thoughfulness and research recommended but not constitutionally required).
Also, for a look at authentic comedy, check out Obama and McCain at the Alfred E. Smith dinner last week. Hilarious and priceless.
Someone needs a nap.

I would agree that this was brilliant and will rank up there for political satires- however nothing will ever trump or has that of Stephen Colbert roasting G W! Still in my opinion holds the thrown.
on a side note- I’ve watched the Palin rap a dozen times by now and still find it hilarious. Props to Amy for doing her thing and everyone should watch the skit at least once more and keep your eyes on “Todd”. His moves had me at “todd lookin fine on his snow machine”
Here in Britain we are finding it hard to take the McCain/Palin campaign seriously. Their image has been damaged in recent weeks (but we don’t like Obama much either!)
What a rotten choice you have.
Hey sounds really nice!!!!
___________
Obama vs. McCain!
Vote on http://pollunity.com
In Spain we can’t believe that she really did the show, she are so desperate to win…!!
Obama 08!!
More like, you have no sense of fucking humor, “mindlass”.
This was brilliant. I used to think that Tina was tons better than Amy, but now they’re equally amazing!
Monkeycaughtstealing, yes, you are being ignorant.
Firstly the Quran is an old, old book that has been unchanged since the start. Very few modern Muslims, if Obama was one (which he is not, but assuming he was), follow it completely, and for that very reason. The Bible has gone through many, many modernized changes over the years. Before, it was equally as harsh as the Quran.
And there have been so many other terrorists besides Muslims. Keep that in mind, too. The modern Muslims are completely harmless and are good family people and oppose terrorism as much as you do.
Please explain how this passes for comedy? No wonder i haven’t watched SNL for the last 25 years.
Why not a joke about Obama’s blue lips? Or the fact that from the side, Michelle Obama has a very ape-like profile in a rather National Geographic kind of way?
You see, that’s what cutting edge comedy should be about, instead of making fun of safe targets like old white guys who nearly sacrificed themselves for their country.
Remember that he wasn’t the one hanging out with people trying to tear it down.
Dear Brit fruitcakes:
Enjoy that once mighty country of yours as it turns into an extension of “Eurabia” and your London becomes “Londonstan”
Stop worrying about what happens in a far superior nation like the USA.
I thought the skit and her opener with Alec Baldwin was great. Once again, she shows her natural side that so many politicians desperately need.
Her husband dressing up in his snowmobile suit was classic too.
[...] Les paroles du rap d’Amy Poehler : [...]
Dear Phrase to Scream
My husband is from Spain and I work with a great many former EU residents. They all say the same thing. If Europe likes Obama (with a vengance) we should be scared, very, very scared. Can you say – SOCIALISM!!!
You can keep that overthere – we don’t want it here.

Dude SNL is Horrible, wayyy too watered down now and nothing new. Andy Samberg is the only one that makes that show watchable. Obama was 20 times funnier at the Alfred E. Smith Dinner. This was actually sad, an abysmal effort. I can’t call Amy Poehler a comedian, anyone could write this garbage. I agree, this should be the cutting edge of comedy…not the shit pile.
HAHAHAHA that was amazing
OBAMA ALL THE WAY!
Word to the mother (and Father and Son and Holy Spirit)!
We love you Sarah!

Obama for president
The White House is no place for politics! GET OUTTA HERE >:O
PhrasetoScream , just because she appeared on SNL does not mean she is desperate to win. Obama has also appeared on the show.
