I’m very enthused about Tina Fey’s return to SNL to play Sarah Palin for what will hopefully be just a few weeks more, after which time she can retire the role, as Sarah Palin fades from memory and American politics resume a normal level of absurdity just below the current level of absolute and utter nonsense. My favorite thing about Fey’s Palin sketches is how the scripts are often just reproductions of actual debate and interview dialogue. Somewhere there is a Bakhtin scholar, or a Baudrillard scholar, or preferably a Baudrillardian-Bakhtinian who could explain this phenomenon, but I will simply leave you with this (cribbed from a youtube poster before it was taken down… click to play, takes a moment to load):
