SNL Opening Skit - Palin & Clinton

　
　誰が考えたのか、旬な政治ネタとして登場した強烈な個性を持つこの二人の組み合わせ。突如辺境の地アラスカから登場した共和党副大統領候補のサラ・ペーリンと民主党大統領候補選に破れても４年後を狙うヒラリーがバカバカしいトークを展開する。これを見ると誇張（デフォルメ）されてはいるが過去の言動から２人がどういう人物なのかがわかる。地球温暖化は神の抱擁なんてのんきにズレたことを言っているサラと強気一辺倒のヒラリーの構図が面白い。ティナ・フェイも意外なところで出番が巡ってきた。

TINA FEY AS PALIN: "Good evening, my fellow Americans. I was so excited when I was told Senator Clinton and I would be addressing you tonight."
AMY POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And I was told I would be addressing you alone."
PALIN: "Now I know it must be a little bit strange for all of you to see the two of us together. What with me being John McCain's running mate."
CLINTON: "And me being a fervent supporter of Senator Barack Obama -- as evidenced by this button."
PALIN: "But tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now very ugly role that sexism is playing in the campaign."
CLINTON: "An issue which I am frankly surprised to hear people suddenly care about."
PALIN: "You know, Hillary and I don't agree on everything..."
CLINTON: (OVERLAPPING) "Anything. I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy."
PALIN: "And I can see Russia from my house."
CLINTON: "I believe global warming is caused by man."
PALIN: "And I believe it's just God hugging us closer."
CLINTON: "I don't agree with the Bush Doctrine."
PALIN: "I don't know what that is...."
CLINTON: "But Sarah, one thing we can agree on is that sexism can never be allowed to permeate an American election."
PALIN: "So please, stop photoshopping my head on sexy bikini pictures."
CLINTON: "And stop saying I have cankles."
PALIN: "Don't refer to me as a 'MILF'."
CLINTON: "And don't refer to me as a 'flurge'. I Googled what it stands for and I do not like it."
PALIN: "So we ask reporters and commentators, stop using words that diminish us, like 'pretty,' 'attractive,' 'beautiful.'"
CLINTON: "'Harpy,' 'shrew' and 'boner shrinker.'"
PALIN: "While our politics may differ, my friend and I are both very tough ladies. You know it reminds me of a joke we tell in Alaska..."What's the difference...
CLINTON: "Lipstick."
PALIN: "...between a hockey mom..."
CLINTON: "Lipstick."
PALIN: "...and a pitbull?"
CLINTON: "Lipstick."
PALIN: (AFTER A BEAT) "Lipstick. Just look at how far we've come. Hillary Clinton, who came so close to the White House. And me, Sarah Palin, who is even closer. Can you believe it, Hillary?"
CLINTON: (AFTER A PAUSE) "I can not."
PALIN: "It's truly amazing and I think women everywhere can agree, that no matter your politics, it's time for a woman to make it to the White House."
CLINTON: "No. Mine! It's supposed to be mine! I need to say something. I didn't want a woman to be President. I wanted to be President and I just happen to be a woman. And I don't want to hear you compare your road to the White House to my road to the White House. I scratched and clawed through mud and barbed wire and you just glided in on a dog sled wearing your pageant sash and your Tina Fey glasses."
PALIN: "What an amazing time we live in. To think that just two years ago, I was a small town mayor of Alaska's crystal meth capitol. And now I am just one heartbeat away from being President of the United States. It just goes to show that anyone can be President."
CLINTON: "Anyone."
PALIN: "All you have to do is want it."
CLINTON: (LAUGHS) "Yeah, you know, Sarah, looking back, if I could change one thing, I should have wanted it more." (RIPS OFF PIECE OF PODIUM)
PALIN: "So in the next six weeks, I invite the media to be vigilant for sexist behavior."
CLINTON: "Although it is never sexist to question female politicians credentials. Please ask this one about dinosaurs. So I invite the media to grow a pair. And if you can't, I will lend you mine."
PALIN: And as we say in Alaska...
CLINTON: "We say it everywhere..."
PALIN/CLINTON: "Live from New York, It's Saturday Night!!!

you just glided in on a dog sled wearing your pageant sash and your Tina Fey glasses.
