McCain Advisor Calls Tina Fey's Portrayal of Sarah Palin Disrespectful!

I can't even take the McCain seriously. At all.

Give me an effing break, and grow a sense of humor!

I think it's funny that they accused the sketch of sexism when, if you've seen the Palin/Clinton sketch, it shows two extremely different people futilely attempting to come together against sexism and showing the two different sides of sexist stereotypes. Tina Fey is hilarious, and her Sarah Palin was hysterical-- however, Palin is pretty new to this whole spotlight thing, so I guess I can see why she'd be shocked the first time she was mocked on SNL.

And hilarious!

Game point Tina. I really hope she does these every few weeks to rub it in nice & deep.

Bingo, Jerby! The McCain camp simply is trying to distract the voting public from her shortcomings and from what is really going on in the world. The question is, why does it seem to be working?!?

They can't even keep their propaganda straight.
Palin found it "hilarious."

Sarah Palin needs to start talking to McCain's advisor so they can get their stories straight. Are we going to be offended by the sketch or are we going to laugh along with everyone else? Maybe they thought they needed two different versions. (idiots!)

I love that the campaign that is not afraid to shout "race card!" is willing to pull the gender card without hesitation.

Just because Palin found it hilarious, doesn't mean a McCain advisor can't find it disrespectful. I love the way the left is scurrying around like scalded-cats (as my Irish grandmother used to say), over some hockey mom from Alaska! It's funny.

That's equally as funny.

I keep my money under my mattress, so I'm all set.

Agreed. On this of all days, it's out of BEING THERE to imagine even a half-serious discussion about the content of an SNL sketch.

I am fascinated by the use of language in this campaign, however, particularly since this obscure mediocrity was shoved into view. Suddenly, we hear an old fashioned term seldom employed in politics "disrespectful." As if respect was ever a component of election behavior. Mrs. Palin is owed our "respect" and even -- more shocking, still -- our "deference."

She -- a total unknown -- has been placed before the American public as a ready-made, fully-formed icon of feminism, complete with image-enhancing mythology and heart-tugging backstory. Even more remarkable, the paper-thin result is discussed as if handed down from the mount. Nothing in the hastily assembled "narrative" can be questioned; it's simply true. Nothing in her character, decision making skills, wisdom, or experience can be questioned, or the questioner reveals heretofore subconscious "sexism" or at the very least that peculiar "disrespect" (Attn: 3rd grade teachers teach a still viable proverb: respect is earned, not assumed.) It's the most preposterous show and tell in the history of American politics, and the only consolation is the rapidly growing body of evidence to tear it apart until it's not worth the 3 X 5 cards it was created on late one desperate Thursday night.
