Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton

I can’t say that I know the ins-and-outs of the American 2008 presidential campaign very well, but I do know the lead characters in the race. And I do know, too, that some have started to call it the ultimate reality show as we watch Sarah Palin grow into her role as Vice President (or a heartbeat away from President as she says in the clip below) – will she make it or won’t she.

I have also recently discovered Tina Fey and her incredible talent as comedian and comedy writer on 30 Rock, a show that she stars in with Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski, amongst others. Tina Fey is also a regular on the popular American show, Saturday Night Live or SNL. This past Saturday Tina Fey impersonated Sarah Palin – because the specs and the hair of the one do remind you of the other – in a press briefing with Hillary Clinton, who was played by Amy Poehler: Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton
