Palin-Fey: Comic twins

Sarah Palin got her “Saturday Night Live” shot last weekend, helping boost the show’s ratings to a 14-year high with some 17 million Americans watching. The Republican vice presidential nominee was part of two smart skits with the SNL crew, head-bopping and shoulder-shimmying during an uproarious rap performance by cast regular Amy Poehler. The second actually had Palin and actress Tina Fey, who has portrayed Palin in previous weeks, brush by each other ever so briefly. Palin said the cast was kind to her and that she had a good time. Asked by People magazine about Fey’s depiction of her as a bubble-headed former beauty queen, Palin said it was OK. “That’s funny, I play her bubble-headed, too, when I imitate her.” Touche.
