Please, God: Let This Happen.
Art imiates Life, and then Life...strikes back?
Seriously? With their campaign trailing Obama/Biden in the polls, with the decision to abandon Michigan, this is what they're worried about? Do they really think they can score points from the people who aren't already backing them by attacking the most popular sketch show in recent history (sorry, MadTV; you're first two season were you're Golden Age)?
And using a commercial from a Credit Card company to do it? "Credit Cards?" As in, "debt," as in "our Congress just gave the Republican-controlled White House $700 billion to clear up the massive debt problems created by the Republican-influenced Free Market?"
Do they really want to do this?
It's like George H. W. Bush versus Murphy Brown all over again. And let me remind the McCain campaign: Bush 41 didn't exactly win that matchup.
It's looking more and more likely that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will appear on ''Saturday Night Live'' -- to have some fun with Tina Fey.
As the comedian's impressions of the GOP vice presidential candidate draw laughs from Republicans and Democrats alike, a top honcho from the John McCain campaign tells me there's a debate going on about how to respond.
Some key McCain staffers are content with Palin joking about the "SNL" routines on the campaign trail -- as when scribbled "I'm not Tina Fey" on a supporter's cell phone and said she'd dressed as Fey on Halloween. But others -- including the governor herself -- think a return punch on the NBC airwaves is what's needed.
I'm hearing some sort of Palin tweak of Fey's American Express commercials is in the works.
