The original interview was just as hilarious! I got the impression that Katie Couric, a hard working & intelligent white woman who had to work her ass off to get where she is, was really pissed off that such a dingbat faux beauty queen is seriously on a presidential campaign ticket. I don't think that too many working white women professionals really like her the more that they see her.
What makes this even funnier is that there is a long stretch of the Fey routine where she repeats (almost verbatim) what Palin actually said:
quote:
Sarah Palin:
"That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in . . where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh -- it's got to be all about job creation too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, scary thing, but 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We've got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that."
It's really funny to compare this part of the actual interview with the comparable portion of the skit (which begins at the 2:50 mark by the way).
