I find the appearances of the main candidates on Saturday Night Live pretty interesting. Did I miss something in the past or is this something new when the candidates who are involved in a very critical and serious political race take time out to play in skits that make fun of themselves and their campaign. I love it but I wonder if it's helpful to the candidates in the end.
Of course Palin has the easiest time...she just has to be herself to be uproariously funny. Her being taken in by those Quebec comics was hilarious although it is a little scary to think she didn't have a clue she wasn't actually talking to Sarkozy.
