SNL Gets Better Material

So, did you hear the one about how Sarah Palin went to Omaha, "because she just wanted to, OK?," and also delivered a speech in California that was based partly on a quote on her Starbucks coffee cup???

I'm sure you heard. Sorry. I was out of town this weekend. I missed this. And this. And this. And also this. And this. And this. Jesus, what a time to leave town! And that was just one fucking newspaper, the NYT. What did everyone else have to say about the tanking GOP ticket in the past 72 hours?

But, seriously, the coffee cup thing? It's Bush-wastes-imaginary-political-capital-immediately-after-2004-election stupid. Here's my pitch to Saturday Night Live for this week:

Next Saturday, watch Sarah Palin rummage through a garbage can outside a Chinese restaurant for discarded fortune cookie slips, or what she calls "speeches"! Financial crisis? Sarah Palin reads from her Visa cardholders agreement terms and conditions! Climate change? Sarah Palin has an Amana air conditioner users manual!

And...scene!
