Couric/Poehler Interviews Palin/Fey

As with their last effort Fey is spot on as Palin but Poehler again steals the scene, this time as she plays up Couric's stone-faced incredulity at the absurdity of Palin's incoherent answers to her questions; the funniest and truly saddest part is that the fumbling response she gives to a question about the recent lender bailout is taken almost verbatim from this section of the real interview:

She's going to need more than a lifeline to get through her only debate with Joe Biden this Thursday but at this point I get the feeling that if she merely manages to stay conscious during the entire hour and a half the McCain campaign will tout it as a victory. Again, this is extremely entertaining but my sympathy for this woman increases every day; fortunately my abhorrence of her penchant for blatantly lying in public and on camera balances a lot of that out. On a tangential note, when this election's over I'm sure going to miss all of those double entendres, i.e. "The Bush Doctrine"; Obama just doesn't sound prurient enough, does it?
