Parody does politics does parody

Right in line with my observation below that the rightwing tends toward the operatic substance free spectacle in terms of politics, SNL has a devastating send up of the Palin/Couric interviews from last week. The devastating part isn't due to the writers at SNL only, however. Palin gets to take a lot of credit as many of the lines used are her own.




When a comedy show can make you look ridiculous by actually quoting you, verbatim, that's a problem.

As the Huffington Post noted, no parody required
