"I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers"....this may be one of the most slam dunk lines in SNL history. Never has hypocrisy been called out so artfully.

[@iconicphotostudios]

It had the added benefit of infuriating the real Palin!

[@IshaSingh-zu2wh]

What does this joke mean. I am not American

[@hutch1197]

@@IshaSingh-zu2wh She had actively campaigned on a "Christian Morals" platform, like so many in her party. They staunchly opposed gay marriage on the grounds it denigrated the "sacred institution of traditional marriage". But during this campaign, her teenage daughter got pregnant and they had pressured her daughter and boyfriend to get married so that it would look better from a public relations standpoint. In other words, she was pushing two unwilling teenagers to get married. The best part is: After all that, her daughter divorced him and then got pregnant again with another boyfriend. Also, the daughter was on an paid tour to preach sexual abstinence to teenagers. And....Sarah Palin herself got divorced. This family was an absolute circus.

[@franciet99]

Amen

[@SDriver1111]

Maybe not called out so artfully in most cases, but if you look around without the aid of SNL.... the hypocrisy is surrounding us. Hopefully we don't rely on SNL to see that!

[@calmbbaer]

Sara Palin did come in second to Tina Fey. They were at an event in New York City and they were both in the same room. Palin was ignored while Fey had numerous people come up to her and ask for Palins autograph. Fey had her picture taken with Palin. I can’t remember the year but it made the news when it happened.

@@julianosvonskingrad7009 Around the time of the 2008 election, Palin's daughter got pregnant and then married, and it might be that the wedding was forced on them by the campaign/palin because they couldn't abort the pregnancy or, alternatively, have an illegitimate child without this possibly costing the McCain/Palin ticket votes. that's the gist of it.

@Dez Osbourne I'm not saying that anyone can 'fix' racism. But why is it so hard for the president to say 'i condemn white supremacy' on the debate stage. Why can't he look into the camera and say 'white supremacy, the KKK and neo nazis are not welcome in the USA'? Also, the fact that Biden knew who the proud boys were but the actual president didn't (or so he says) is concerning.

Remember when she was asked about what newspapers she reads. ANY halfway intelligent and knowledgeable person could have invented a good answer: Name 1 or 2 of the major papers in Alaska. And she could throw out a few big names. (WaPo, New York Times, FP Foreign Policy, the Economist ...and on the Conservative side The American Spectator, National Review, The Christian Science Monitor). 3 out of that pool would have made her look good. While saying she wish she had more time for reading and that her staff gets her informed and points out interesting article to her. but then of course she would have needed to EVER read a tiny bit to even be aware of these names. And it would not hurt to have read an article in the recent past - just in case you are asked. The folksy blabbering carries only that far - it is hard to conceal stupidity and complete ignorance when pressed. That is the reason Trump uses certain vague phrases: No one can contradict him on: "We will see." or "I do not show what we have up our sleeves." or "It is easy to win a trade war" - (the latter would require a whole lecture, that can be contradicted, but it is not a single fact that is true or false). Or: it will be tremendous. It will be great. Sure reporters can press him WHAT will be great and how are they going to achieve it precisely. (The crowds are eating it up, no questions asked). "you will get better and cheaper healthcare. It will be much, much better than Obamacare" - Now: If Sanders says that - one knows that he worked behind the scenes and for decases on that issue - the pesky details. There is not time in the speech - and the voters do not care about the details anyway. Trump on the other hand makes such upbeat statements in a state of blissful and complete ignorance. So naturally later Trump said: "Who know that healthcare is so complicated." lol

[@jdzeeb]

Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump Larry David as Bernie Sanders Kate McKinnon as Elizabeth Warren all iconic, but Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin is unparalleled

[@corections5068]

Alec Baldwin is a good at portraying evil characters in movies ( since in him dwells so much anger and resentment plainly exhibited by anger filled, profanity laden diatribes at his daughter, Kim Basinger and a violent confrontation he creates with reporters) but is replete with hatred towards Trump, which easily shows in his vindictive, venom filled horribly uncharacteristic portrayal...it may appear funny to some but it does not reflect Trump's personal or professional conduct.....Tina Fay fails to mimic Sarah Palin on numerous levels...she is not nearly as attractive as Sarah...her presentation of Palin as an airhead (as written by the very far leaning writers at the time) is the democrats fantasy and a utter reflection of the terrible fear they had of her being a sweeping conservative voice to drive the Republican voters who were disaffected ( by MCcain's lackluster performance against Obama's political and personal attacks) to the polls in overwhelming numbers to clinch the presidency...

Man, what a fun campaign season it was! Good times! John McCain was always supportive of Sarah, no matter her many misfortunes. Of course, Sarah with no heart, then enthusiastically endorsed Donald Trump twice, even after Trump himself said of McCain, “He’s not a war hero”. The McCain family would end up endorsing Joe Biden in 2020.
