4. wow....

she truly is clueless...is she not!

5. Come on.. It was pretty funny....

[Waiting For Everyman]

6. IMO, they totally punked her!

I didn't watch it live, only just now. She had to pretend to be ok with them completely mocking her and putting her down both times. That so didn't work for her.

Bullwinkle was funny!

7. I have to agree - totally punked

and she didn't look the least happy about it. The only time she appeared in the tiniest bit like she was enjoying any of it was when Bullwinkle got shot in the rap skit. The rest of the time she looked pissed off and trying hard to appear as a good sport. My bet is that she completely regrets having been on the show.

8. Thanks for posting The opening sketch was really funny.

Caribou Barbie ROFL I hadn't heard that one before. As soon a Baldwin showed up I knew he was going to mistaker Palin for Tina Fey, but I was still funny.

9. do you think Tina said she wouldn't be on the same stage as her? Caribou seemed angry to me

11. Funny stuff... but not because of Palin.

Not sure what the McCain camp was thinking here. Sure, I suppose you could say that she showed up and was a "good sport" about being ridiculed in person, but she wasn't a guest on SNL. She was a bystander.

A little self-deprecating humor coming out of her mouth would've helped. That's what candidates need to do in these situations. John McCain singing Streisand songs poorly. Obama making fun of his own ears. That's what Palin needed here... she didn't even go for it.

13. They Punked her. It was pretty good. Alec Baldwin was great.
