POLITICS: OBAMA ON SNL? / PALIN DENIES $150K CLAIM / BRAVE


Word is Barack Obama will appear on the November 1 episode of Saturday Night Live, the last episode before the election. Hopefully he can share a few tips with Fred Armisen who impersonates him regularly.

When asked recently if he was disappointed that the impressions weren’t funny, Obama replied, “I’ve gotta say, compared to Tina Fey and what she’s been doing with Gov. Palin, my imitator isn’t doing as great a job, but I do know my ears have been getting bigger and bigger each episode. I’m sure they’ll get me right over time.”

In related news, Obama is currently in Hawaii visiting his ailing grandmother.
PALIN DENIES $150K CLAIM

n an interview with The Chicago Tribune on Thursday, Sarah Palin denied accepted $150,000 worth of clothes from the Republican Party.

According to Palin, “That whole thing is just, bad! Oh, if people only knew how frugal we are. It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported.”

Palin claims the clothes are not worth $150,000 and were bought for the Republican National Convention earlier this year. She added they will either be given back, auctioned or sent to charity. Most of them haven’t even left her plane, she said.

Adding insult to injury, the Huffington Post reports that Palin’s makeup stylist is the highest-paid campaign staffer for the first part of October, earning over $22,000 in just two weeks.
