SNL at it again, with a little Palin, McCain, and Obama

Saturday Night Live last night did two wonderful political sketches.  The first one, which is below, is a spoof of the Sarah Palin/Katie Couric interview.  The interview has raised the eyebrows of many, so it is no surprise that SNL decided to go at it again.  In the role of Gov. Sarah Palin is Tina Fey returned again, with Katie Couric being played by Amy Poehler.  The chemistry between the two women is always great.  Even though Poehler's Couric was not as good as her Hilary Clinton, it played well enough to Fey's Palin.

SNL also touched on the Presidential debate that occurred the night before.  This sketch allowed Chris Parnell to return and be the moderator Jim Lehrer, while Fred Armisen played Barack Obama and Darryl Hammond portrayed John McCain.  This was a long wide ranging sketch for sure.  Something that is really worth watching.  It also includes a cameo by Amy Poehler's Hilary Clinton.
