Tina Fey Spoofs Sarah Palin on SNL: If the Glasses Fit, Go For the Best Impression Ever!

Saturday Night Live continues to set the agenda. This weekend, veep candidate, hockey mom, and lipstick wearer Sarah Palin earned a new credit to her resume: an official mocking on SNL. Rumors swirled for weeks that Tina Fey would return to the show to portray McCain’s running mate due to their striking resemblance, and as soon as the cameras rolled for the skit everyone knew she would not disappoint. Dressed in a bright red suit with a mandarin collar and hair wrapped in the Palin-twist, Fey delivered a spot-on portrayal of the VP hopeful.

Along with Amy Pohler as Hilary Clinton, Fey gave a “non-partisan” message seeking to discourage sexism in press coverage of the election while poking fun at Palin’s looks and her naivety. In a twangy Alaskan accent, Fey said, “Tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now very ugly role that sexism is playing in the campaign…so stop photo-shopping my head onto sexy bikini bodies…don’t refer to me as a MILF…stop using words that diminish us, like ‘pretty,’ ‘attractive,’ ‘beautiful.’” During times when Pohler’s Clinton was talking, Fey’s Palin waved to audience members and vogued for imaginary photogs.

The pair even mocked Palin’s eye wear, calling them “Tina Fey glasses.” Hilarious. Palin’s Kazuo Kawasaki glasses have become a major fashion trend since she stepped into the limelight last week, with many optical shops claiming to have sold out of the VP’s signature look. As for the shoes, you can pick up a pair of Sarah Palin’s favorite shoe brand Naughty Monkey here.

    I saw a bit of the skit, and it was hilarious! How scary the resemblance between Palin and Fey. I do love Naughty Monkey shoes, but it’s ridiculous how Palin’s glasses have become the newest trend, and are selling out.
