Daily Irony: SNL Lampoons Sarah Palin


The McCain camp is seething over Saturday Night Live's season debut that began with Tina Fey's dead-on portrayal of Sarah Palin.

An aide to John McCain said comedian Tina Fey's impersonation of Palin on SNL was sexist because it portrayed the Alaska governor as "lacking in substance". Sexism, huh? That seems to suddenly be an important issue for Republicans.

What we have here is a rare daily double of irony.

SNL is meant to be ironic in its mocking of current events and the lampooning of the players that shape them.

Then, we have the fact that Sarah Palin does indeed lack substance.

Irony lost on all fronts by the McCain camp.

It's just comedy.
