If SNL wants to bring the funny back, all they have to do is get Tina Faye to be Sarah Palin for one sketch.
But that's not where the funny is: they shouldn't even bother rewriting anything - they should just reenact McCain picking her as VP exactly as it played out.

Video of Sarah Palin addressing the Alaskan Independence Party in 2008, whose platform includes Alaska Seceding from the United States:

Who cares do you know how many Americans don't have a valid passport (or no passport at all)??
It's a simple matter of going to the post office big fing deal.

You know, you have to give it to McCain. By picking Palin he really helped heal the Democratic Party and unite them towards a shared cause, which they had trouble doing themselves.
:lol
And now that he's picked her he'll look (rightfully) like he's incapable of exercising good judgment under pressure if he turns around and tries to drop her. There won't be enough lulz in the world if the investigation into her abuse of power turns up something incriminating less than a week before the election.

Yeah well most Americans don't leave the states so they let their passports expire.
Secessiongate - Sarah Palin was originally a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a third-party in Alaska that advocates Alaska leaving the Union. She addressed the party as recently as this year in a video to their convention.
Nearly-Recalled-gate - Sarah Palin was nearly recalled as Mayor of Wasilla for firing the Police Chief and Library Director without probable cause. She only fired them because she "felt" like they weren't supportive of her.
Small-Town-Big-Money-gate - Sarah Palin ran up a $20 million debt for a town of only 5,400 people. That's $3,700 per person. This from somebody who claims to be against pork barrel projects.
Bridge-To-Nowhere-gate - "I was for the bridge before I was against it." Palin was originally for the Gravina Island bridge in her 2006 gubernatorial run.
Troopergate - Palin allegedly fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan for failing to fire a state trooper who had divorced her sister. The investigation is ongoing.
Babygate - Despite being an evangelical Christian for abstinence-only sex-ed, Palin's 17 year-old daughter had sex before marriage and is now 5-months pregnant. This was after allegations that Palin's son Trig (the down's syndrome baby) was her daughter's and not hers.
Pledge-Of-Allegiance-gate - Sarah Palin thinks the Pledge of Allegiance was written by the founding fathers with the phrase "Under God". "Under God" was added to the pledge during the Cold War to put space between the atheist Soviet Union and America.
Stevens527-gate - Sarah Palin was a director of "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc", a 527 led by Senator Stevens, now under trial for corruption charges.
Mother-In-Law-gate - Sarah Palin's mother-in-law is an Obama supporter and doesn't understand what she brings to the McCain ticket.
Global-Warming-gate - Sarah Palin believes that climate change is not man-made.
Creationism-gate - Sarah Palin supports Creationism being taught in public schools.
Inexperience-gate - Presidential scholars say that Palin is the most underqualified person to join a presidential ticket in the modern era. Her presence undermines the central argument of the McCain campaign, that Obama is not ready to the lead because of his inexperience.
Vetting-gate - John McCain didn't do jack to vet her. He talked with her once.
Champion-for-Big-Oil-gate - Like McCain, Palin believes that oil drilling is the only solution to our energy problems. I beg to disagree with any candidate who would say we cant drill our way out of our problem, she says. She supports more drilling in protected areas of the Outer Continental Shelf and the Alaska Natural Wildlife Refuge, once attacking McCain for his close-mindedness on ANWR. Palin rejects clean renewable energy that is an alternative to oil. Earlier this month, she claimed that alternative-energy solutions are far from imminent and would require more than 10 years to develop. Gov Palin recently sued the Interior Department over its decision to list the polar bear as a threatened species. Why is that a problem? Well those polar bears get in the way of oil drilling.
What's-A-VP?-gate - Palin is quoted for not knowing what a VP does, a mere month before being chosen.
Hillary-Is-A-Whiner-gate - Despite siphoning from Hillary Clinton in an endeavor to woo former Clinton supporters, Palin called Hillary a "whiner" for complaining about her treatment in the primaries.
Laugh-At-Cancer-gate - Palin has repeatedly feuded with the state's Senate president, Lyda Green, over a wide range of legislation. Last January, Palin appeared on "The Bob and Mark Show," whose host Bob Lester despises Green. Palin laughed as she was called a "Bitch," "Cancer," and was mocked for her weight.
Earmark-gate - The state of Alaska requested 31 earmarks worth $197.8 million for next year's federal budget. And according to Citizens Against Government Waste, Alaska received $379,669,715 in pork during fiscal year 2008, nearly $100 million more than any other state.

Positive on the ages? She supposedly got pregnant while she was out of school, sick with mono. And that was end of Junior year. She is now in beginning of Senior year. Did she turn 17 this summer? In any case that's legal in Alaska I believe...? Is the guy 20? or 18?

I thought that was a really good address. She could probably adapt that to the campaign. Even if the audience is a bunch of kooks, just speaking to them isn't going to blowback on her.numble said:

Does anyone else think Palin's whole role is to set a fire under Evangelical's butts? They weren't really rallying around McCain, but now they've got their Palin to protect from the heathens of the world (you know, pro-choice dems and the leftist media).
Palin news items are getting so damn annoying, I don't even know who's running for President anymore. She's been the top story since Friday, outside of a Gustav.
