Just got done watching the Beck/Palin interview. Towards the end they made an offer to NBC to co-host Saturday Night Live.
Just think about it, they would be at 30rock most of the week because of rehearsals. Which also means they would be in the same building as Olbermann.
If anything, you know Olbermann won't show up for the whole week knowing those two were in the building.

I would watch SNL for the first time in about 15 years if they did this. I hope Lorne Michaels takes them up on their offer. A sketch mocking the sitcom 30 Rock with Palin/Beck playing Fey/Baldwin perhaps?
If Palin and Beck were to guest host, SNL would see a huge ratings bump.

Re: Mika's mis-step
It is amazing that these other cable nets will broadcast clips from the competition when she is on a Fox show.
They didn't care when John Kerry or John Edwards would appear after their failed bid, but now when Palin appears, the news media is listening. They may mock her, but if they didn't think she was credible, they would be giving her zero coverage.
It shows the power of Palin.
In keeping with Mika B, my favorite founding father is a toss-up between Ward Cleaver and Jim Anderson.

I have a challenge for Patrick-what are the odds he will fail? He called me a liar and I want him to back it up

as expected, Patrick has not backed up his claims that I'm lying. I guess ite just easier to attack and call someone something instead of backing it up.

Patrick doesn't back it up because he cannot back it up. Whatever he said to you, I would wager that it was a lie. Patrick is a liar, the little man child can only hurl foul mouth insults and gay slurs.

it was of course a lie. He also asked me when I was shutting down my blog-my answer is that I'm not

IM Right, you are Righter than you know. I have page after page of blocked comments from the lil feller, and almost every one of them is some version of the f-insult of gay people. Over and over and over again, like it's an obsession. There is definitely some overcompensating going on. In the meantime this long string of vulgar, homophobic, and unstable comments will make fascinating reading for the abuse dept of his ISP.

That does not surprise me. He's a vulgar little child that has become obsessed with J$P and its posters. Regarding overcompensating, you are right, there is some of that going on, maybe the same way that we now know that fomer Senator Larry Craig of Idaho had going on. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Chris, the next time the little guy asks about your blog, you should ask him how his blog "Fox News is Fixed" is coming.

No, he made big promises that he was putting it together about 2 years ago, but he never made it. He accomplished nothing. That may be representative of much in his life.

This is the mentality of the left. They hate Fox News so much that they make up lies about them.
Here is one from our friend Halfwit( name kinda fits, don't you think) over at the Bodacious Bordello of Babes.
Halfwit<img src="http://cdn.js-kit.com/images/icon10-external-url.png"/>
Foxnews have lost any little decency they may have had and I for one will never forgive them for this one, it's one too many. They did the same thing to the people of New Orleans, they are trying to prevent black people from getting any kind of help when there is a disaster, to help drive them even further into poverty, so they can continue to persecute and talk ill of them. Shameful , godless bastards.
This clown actually accuses Fox News of try to stop black people from getting help during a disaster.Obvioulsly Halfwit was educated in our government school system.And as usual, he provides not one shred of evidence for his ignorant statement.

Since the newshounds happily and regularly lie, why should they object when their gullible readers lie in the comments? Lie with dogs, get up with fleas.

Palin on Saturday Night Live LOL. This could be the start of something new. Coneheads II. Sarah would be the perfect follow up for Jane Curtain. This type of performance could make her the front runner for the Repubs in a couple of years. Sorry dad....
