Tina Fey, Queen Latifa and Jason Sudeikis give Palin and Biden a workover
on America's iconic comedy show.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 4, 2008) NBC-
The 2008 presidential campaign has provided US comics with a rich
vein of material since it launched more than a year ago.
Saturday Night Live returned to the theme this past weekend with a
send-up of Friday night's debate between Vice-presidential candidates Joe
Biden and Sarah Palin. Queen Latifa played the part of moderator Gwen
Ifill.

QUEEN LATIFA PLAYING THE PART OF DEBATE MODERATOR
GWEN IFILL SAYING: "I'd now like to give each of you the chance to make a
closing statement".

TINA FEY PLAYING THE PART OF SARAH PALIN, SAYING:
"Are we not doing the talent portion?"

IFILL CHARACTER SAYING: "Senator Biden, your
closing statement?"

JASON SUDEIKIS PLAYING THE PART OF JOE BIDEN
SAYING: "My goal here tonight was a simple one: to come up here tonight
and at no point seem like a condescending, egomaniacal bully. And I gotta be
honest, I think I nailed it. Sure, there were moments when I wanted to say
'Hey, this lady's a dummy' but I didn't because Joe Biden is better than that.
I repeat, Joe Biden is better than that. So to all the pundits who said I
would seem cocky or arrogant, you dopes got schooled Biden-style".

IFILL CHARACTER SAYING: "Governor
Palin?"
"I liked being here
tonight answering all those tough questions without the filter of the
mainstream gotcha media with their follow-up questions. fact-checking,
incessant need to figure out what your words mean and why you put them in that
order. I'm happy to be speaking directly to the American people
to let them know that if you want an outsider who doesn't like
politics-as-usual, or pronouncin' the "G" at the end of the word
she's sayin', I think you know who to vote for. Oh, and for those Joe Sixpacks
out there playin' a drinking game at home - "Maverick".
