It is not surprising that Franken would find it impossible to resist the urge to help Saturday Night Live tarnish the Republican ticket. Unfortunately for him, the relatively mild rip on McCain aired in the same episode as the vile and inexcusable attack against Todd Palin involving incest and pedophelia. Al has enough problems associated with SNL (can anyone say "rape"?). Perhaps he would best serve his ambitions to gain election to the United States Senate by focusing on his own campaign.

Well, if that's a correct characterization, I'm done with SNL. Have they ever done a Veep-candidate's spouse before? A Veep-candidate's kids?

I like Tina Fey, and the routine last night on Johnny Mac was not really fair, but not beyond the pale, either. (Though wacked, if indeed gutter-Franken helped to write it.)

But involving teenaged girls? Fuck 'em.

This should be a career ender for everyone involved. Doesn't anyone have the sense to walk away when they are presented with crap
like this. Fortunately, there is legal recourse.
The only to stop this is to make it cost millions. A month ago, who thought that the Palins would own NBC?

The spin will be that this is a parody of reporters. NBC lawyers are betting the farm on it.

"What about the husband?" asked a Times reporter during a mock assignment meeting for the paper. "You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska."

The assignment editor for the Times, portrayed by actor James Franco, responded: "He very well could be. Admittedly, there is no evidence of that, but on the other hand, there is no convincing evidence to the contrary. And these are just some of the lingering questions about Governor Palin."

Tina Fey at the Emmys "She even shrugged off her resemblance to Gov. Sarah Palin, whom she won raves for portraying on the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live."

"But then my kids saw her on TV and started saying, 'Mommy?'" she said.

She was more open about her thoughts on reprising the "SNL" role. As in, she'd prefer not to.

"I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5," she said. "So if anybody can help me be done playing this lady Nov. 5, that would be good for me."

Wish granted, Tina. And you don' have to wait until Nov. 5th. Quit.
