Digger: BREAKING NEWS … Bob just got a mention on Saturday Night Live in the opening skit … A parody of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton addressing the public, one of the jabs that Hillary took at Sarah was “just ask this one about dinosaurs …” GO BOB! I LOVE YOU MAN! (In a straight type man love, like two guys watching a football game. None of that gay stuff, cuz, you know, that just ain’t right)

Transplanted Texan: I want to be the first to tip my cap to CCD (and Dennis Mansfield). They were right and I, along with just about everyone else on that thread, was wrong: SNL just debuted their Sarah Palin, and it really was a Tina Fey cameo. Like Mansfield predicted, Fey’s Palin was spot-on; I only turned on SNL when my mom hollered from the other room “Oh boy! Saturday Night Live has someone who reeeeally looks like Sarah Palin!” But I am surprised they would go with someone in a cameo role, as good as it might be. That’ll make it hard to sustain it for the whole season, I would think, and especially for the whole term if, heaven forbid, McCain-Palin actually wins.

Question: Who was better — Akroyd? Or Belushi?
