Saturday Night Live - From Sarah Palin to Marky Mark Pt. 2

Last night I made some brief comments about SNL with Sarah Palin. I'm a bit irked that they even had her on there (couldn't they have pulled an Oprah? Then again, Lorne Michaels did contribute to McCain's campaign, although it does look like he was just covering his bases).

However, fair's fair. I wrote my post before I saw Amy Poehler's Palin rap. Another slightly awkward moment, though Poehler was purty funny.

I would say that I'm glad Palin can laugh at herself, but I'm not sure she was. Mark Wahlberg, however, is mildly redeemed as having a sense of humor (or as my internet friend Jason says, some kickass marketing savvy).

Anyhoodle, here's the vid...

Palin's opening


The Palin rap


And finally, Mark Wahlberg and Andy Samberg (and Amy Poehler and Josh Brolin)


Unrelated (sort of), Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama on Meet the Press this morning. Quelle surprise, but good news.

Marky Mark and the Grumpy Bunch

Mark Wahlberg... still not happy about Andy Samberg's impersonation of him on Saturday Night Live. Marky needs some good vibrations, methinks.

Here's Samberg's sketch. It wasn't even that amusing, was it?
