The humorous I choose was the most recent Tina Fey impersonation of the Sarah Palin interview with Katie Couric on Saturday Night Live. SNL has done a great job in the past representing and telling stories that the media really can't. Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin is perfect, usually SNL does a good job but this is by far its best impersonation yet. First they make fun of Palin for not having any understanding of what the Bush Doctrine is. Then continues straight on to make fun of her trip to the United Nations Tina Fey (Sarah Palin) saying that she McCain would get rid of the foreigners in the United Nations and give those jobs to hard working Americans. The biggest slam against Palin and the whole set up for the skit was making fun of her stumbling on foreign policy in Palins real interview with Katie Couric. The SNL version of Couric ask Palin to one more time clarify her answer on why she has foreign policy experience. Tina Fey (Sarah Palin) stumbles around giving ridiculous answers and spewing out random empty campaign rhetoric. For example "Reigning in spending" or "health care reform is necessary" or "its all about job creation for Americans". But writing about this SNL skit doesn't do it justice you have to see it to fully understand it. Here is the link below

I picked a segment from Saturday Night Live as well. I think that SNL does a really good job taking facts and distorting them for humor. Nice pick
This skit is very funny. I remember watching it and just thinking how do they come up with all this stuff. I agree with you in that Tina Fey did an awesome impression!
