If SNL Were Fair

Like everyone else, I found the Tiny Fey rendition of Sarah Palin to be hilarious. But it raises a few questions. It's funny, and it ostensibly reflects Palin, but does it REALLY? Does it really reflect a woman who was raised on the prairies of Wyoming and then moved to Wassilla, Alaska as a "civilized" place compared to where she was coming from? Does Tina Fey reflect a woman who runs for Governor while having 4 children and a 5th on the way?

Does her entertaining bit reflect a woman who was so committed to her pro-life principles that she was willing to give birth to a Down's Syndrome baby? A woman who is both a bear-hunter and a beauty contest winner? A woman who was a high school basketball star and a TV announcer?

Palin is not some trivial creature.

But what was most GROSSLY UNFAIR about SNL was the totally TEPID rendition of Obama.

Who SHOULD have played Obama? CHRIS ROCK! Of course, Rock is an Obama supporter, so he wouldn't have. But just imagine if he HAD. Are you going to tell me that there is nothing FUNNY about Obama? With his checkered past??? It could have been at least as uproarious as Palin.

But SNL was under the reigns of political correctness to not mess with Obama. But Palin, being a dumb white broad, could be thoroughly mocked.
