SNL and scarf-gate

It’s no secret that Tina Fey is sick of playing Sarah Palin. Her actual words were: “If she wins, I’m done. I can’t do that for four years. And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth.“ Not that I blame her. I’d be sick of it too. Hang in there, Tina. It’ll be worth it when 30 Rock finally starts getting the ratings it merits.

The genius of this skit, and the reason I’m posting it, is Will Ferrell as George W. Bush, endorsing the GOP ticket, “in the midst of a very important election between two very qualified candidates: the hot lady and the Tiger Woods guy“.

Fey/Palin walks into the Oval Office alone, because, she explains, “Senator McCain, upon hearing you wanted to give him a super public endorsement, cannot be found. He was last seen travelin’ on foot through the Adirondacks.”

Bush/Ferrell: “Well, we’ll smoke him out. George Bush always finds his man save for one huge exception.

Fey/Palin: We are gonna get ‘er done.

Bush/Ferrell: My God, you are folksy.

Fey/Palin: Why thank you Mr. President. I like to think I’m one part practiced folksy, one part sassy and a little dash of high school bitchy.

And then it gets *really* funny. Watch:

Next.
World, meet Sarah Palin’s donkey scarf. File this one under too bizarre for words. In Palin’s defense, she must be so tired and overwhelmed. The only person around her from her before-life is her husband. There’s not a single other person from Alaska traveling with her right now. Watching her closely in public appearances, she’s clearly uncomfortable, stressed. As much as I abhor every single thing she stands for, I feel sorry for her.

But this scarf. There’s no explanation. Those are clearly donkeys, and donkeys are the symbol of the Democratic Party. She has handlers. Where are her handlers? And who gave her that scarf?? Somebody clueless? Or somebody with a wicked sense of humor? How could it possibly be unintentional?
