Maya Rudolph Goes Barack to "SNL"

1. "Tragically, we're told Tina will not be back playing Sarah Palin on Saturday."

What the hell is so tragic about her not playing Sarah Palin?

7. I know Maya Rudolf is half black and Jewish....but she's not dark enough to play a real soul sista. Maybe it's just me, but I thought she was white for the longest time and didn't know her mother was Minnie Riperton.

I loved Queen Latifa as Gwen Ifill, but can't picture Maya Rudolf as Michelle Obama. I can't think of anyone.
Wanda Sikes?

8. Why bring her back when Mrs. O looks just like Wayne Brady with a wig?

9. Miclelle Obama has more class in her pinky finger than Sarah Palin or Cindy McCain will EVER have. Miclelle is not a fake or a fraud. Michelle has never been found to have abused her power(Sarah), Michelle has never been a pill popper who had a doctor lose his liscense because of her addiction(Cindy) Michelle has never been a member of a political party who wanted to seceed from the United State of America(Todd) Michelle is one classy woman who scares the heck out of the Repubs because she is an intellegent, thoughtful, black woman and they can't push her or Barack around. She will make a wonderful and classy First Lady - DEAL WITH IT - IT's GOING TO HAPPEN - HA HA!! Truth and honesty will win and evil and intolerance will lose!!

10. They won't "even" it out, probably play her as some endearing American woman, and will show the white people in the
skit as racist, gun toting, bible huggers.

Well aren't you just precious with your retro racism. How cute! Nice to know what sort of inbred hicks the McCain camp has as supporters.

12. I know I'll get hate mail for this but I think Michelle Obama has an old fashioned Kennedy air about her.

I think she is very classy

14. Harvey, know your liberal, but I assumed you would care about Israel. Allthough, I'm Scottish and Italian, and if they
got attacked, I might be a little upset, but I wouldn't go crazy, I guess. You do know whats happening, and what Joe
Biden meant about Obama being "tested". If he wins, Iran is going to go all over Israel, not saying nuking, but will
do a "pre-emptive" strike against Israel, and Obama, will keep America out of it. i.e. "people won't like our position, but it
will be the right one". And when Iran does this, it won't be just "military" targets, they are going to go all out over Tel Aviv and other major population centers. No biggie to me, just suprised at your support.

I agree Adrienne, although I do think she could use a better stylist and hairdresser. She dresses a little too conservative for me. I also love the way she carries herself and the way she speaks. You can tell that she thinks before she speaks. The same cannot be said for other women associated with this election. Cindy McCain looks like she's high all the time and one botox injection away from Madam T's Wax Museum and Sara Palin has a big mouth and you can tell just by looking at her that her mouth and her looks is all she has going for her. Michelle is poised and doesn't need to be a loudmouth. I liked that quality in previous first ladies and I think she'll add perfectly to the line of them.
