We DVR Saturday Night Live not just to skip commercials, but because we’re totally lame and are usual in bed before it even starts. Shut up. We’re old.
Anyway.
The season started last week with Michael Phelps as host. The first (and really only) political sketch was the opener, with Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton (albeit a noticeably pregnant one) and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Being the politically apathetic person that I am, I do know who Sarah Palin is but I hadn’t really listened to her much. So when Tina Fey’s take on her made her sound like she came from Fargo, I was skeptical. But I caught a clip of an interview a few days ago and man, she really DOES sound like she’s from Fargo! What’s with that? Isn’t she from Alaska? (As an aside, Conan had a take on this same subject on his show on Thursday. Great minds...) Between McCain’s generally obnoxious whiny voice and Palin’s accent, it could make for a long four years, having to listen to them. And that doesn’t even take into consideration the actual subject content of their speeches. Ugh. Then again Obama tends to yell and Biden, well, I don’t really know about his speaking voice. Haven’t heard too much from him. I guess it’s not a good idea to use their speaking voices to choose our next president, but if that were the competition, it would be a hard one to call, dontch’a know.
