See, that's what I'm talking about. She's focusing on this stupid middle eastern shit and ignoring the very real threat presented by the Black Menace. |

Apparently it's bad journalism to... ask pertinent questions and then record the answers. |
Maybe the bad part is then distributing those answers to the public? |

| Quote: | Palins May Owe Tens of Thousands of Dollars in Back Taxes
When Sarah Palin accepted John McCain's offer to be his running mate, she probably didn't fully realize what being in the national spotlight meant. For example, your tax returns get to be analyzed in public (for free) by miscellaneous tax experts. Gov. Palin actually lives in Wasilla, a suburb of Anchorage, but the state capital is in Juneau, 500 miles away as the crow flies (assuming they have crows in Alaska). On the many nights she stayed at home, she claimed to have been away from the capital on business and was reimbursed $17,000 by the state for this "travel." Being paid a per diem for staying in your own home is ethically dicey but probably legal since "away on business" is probably defined as "not near your office." However, Palin was also paid $25,000 to reimburse her husband and children for being away from "home" (Juneau) which she did not list as income. A D.C. tax lawyer and two law school professors specializing in tax law have concluded that if the State of Alaska wants to pay the governor to take her family on "business trips" that is its good right, but the money received is taxable income under the internal revenue code and the Palins should have declared it and paid tax on it, which they did not. |

$10 says the McCain campaign or Palin herself calls this 'gotcha tax evasion'.

She's just answering the questions she knows the nation wants to hear. |

To quote some conservative:
" "Gov. Palin was cleared of the allegation of an improper firing, which is what this investigation was approved to look into," she said."
So, despite the stated finding her unethical, it will be touted as a Republican victory and evidence of Obama's evil communist liberal black terrorism. |

Somewhat humorous... at Sarah Palin's expense... I approve.

After watching the first half hour of that show I can honestly say that unless the actors are imitating politicians, there is absolutely nothing funny about any of their skits. Also, that whole Sarah Palin intro was a big disappointment. |

What a terrible TERRIBLE show. I cannot believe I was conned into watching that garbage. I can't believe people watch it and laugh. I can't believe people watch it. I can't believe it's still on the air.
And the Sarah Palin bit was almost non-existent.
I was cheated out of an hour of glorious sleep.
Die in a fire, SNL. |

I didn't watch a minute of it. SNL has been awful for...ten years? fifteen? I was just pointing out the fact that it was going to happen.
And from reading the summary...she was only in the opening and one small part of Weekend Update? That's pathetic. |
