Palin 2012: SNL Gives Viewers A Glimpse Of Horrifying Future (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

"Saturday Night Live" combined Sarah Palin and the disaster movie "2012" last night to imagine a world in which Palin had won the presidency. They used footage from the '08 race and Palin's recent publicity blitz along with the trailer for the John Cusack post-apocalyptic action film to create a harrowing end-times scenario in which Glenn Beck is one step away from the presidency.

It's so very obvious...­.......You are afraid of this woman!!
She is everything you want in your family and friends.
She's not an elitist...­.that hurts most of the forum folk here.
Too bad.

You do know that Palin did not write this book herself... some of it had made a lot of enemies in the republican party... you do not bite the hand that fed you..or clothed you as it may be....

It is funny. She had more government executive experience than the democratic nominee for President.

[Flowymac]

09:30 PM on 11/24/2009

She does not have experience as a president, only a half term of Mayor and Gov... She has not the education or experience in matters that count...Lo­ok at the bridge to no where... that money was asked for and where is the bridge...e­xperience is nothing when it comes to only doing your terms half way

Palin has absolutely zero credibilit­y. Mayor of a backwater town and partial term as governor? She has no intellectu­al heft. She attended multiple second rate colleges on her way to a degree in Journalism­. No offense, but those aren't exactly the intellectu­al chops you want in a President.

I was ready to laugh but did not. In other news, Sarah Palin's IQ is 121, according to IQ-Super.c­om. That's not low.

[Flowymac]

09:31 PM on 11/24/2009

OMG that makes me llaugh hard enough for tears...

[IDIOTA]

12:37 AM on 11/25/2009

I guess someone named Sarah Palin went to the website and took the IQ test. I think that 121 is at or above the 90th percentile­.

What is done "is" done with Clinton holding the Academic Wording Award trophy. Sarah's contributi­on to society's political landscape is a wink, shows some leg, but little knowledge. She's blessed with the gift of talking-th­e-talk, lots of energy, showing a little leg, but let's face it there was only one SULTON OF SWAT and that was Babe Ruth. He reminds me of a pit bull without lipstick. Sarah could have learned a lot from the "House that Babe Built". Sarah missed her chance for the "House that Palin Built"!

This is a really witty contributi­on to society, if you ask me. Say...Rah.­..say: Rah-ight gee OH (...sniff.­...)

The SNL piece was hilarious!­!!!!!!! And like the Internet whatever she or Glenn Beck who was in the clip SNL showed, once you say something stupid its out there for all to see.

Has she not figured out that everything she touches, she destroys?

She brings up family values. Guess who's a "grandmoth­er"?
She publishes a book (that someone else wrote for her). (Look for it at the local bookstore FILED UNDER FICTION!) Levi Johnson appears in Playgirl. (And to think, Playboy was going to cease publishing their counterpar­t magazine.)
She brings up death pannels to thwart the bill for Social Medicine from passing. The bill is waiting passage by the Senate before Chirstmas.

I'll say this time and time again: Until Meghan McCain turns 35, the republican party is going down in flames.

It is a shame that the GOP hadn't picked Tim Pawlenty. McCain would have had a better chance, but still lose.

You didn't one intelligen­t thing. Not surprising­, though.

Swing and a miss.

Did you study grammar with Palin?

The tragic thing is, the way things are going she'll probably become president. For me, the deeply annoying thing is I'd have to move; Canada here I come!

[JTJMOMEDTEK]

bite your tongue, or your fingers for saying such a thing.

[Northernview]

Dang. Does that mean Canada is going to have to build a big fence now, too?

Whatever happened to that idea of transparen­cy? Taxpayers are not impressed with Mr. O and Mrs. P. They are spending on steroids. And making a fool of themselves everytime they speak on the air. The honeymoon is over, even with some in the press. Keith O and "Tingle" Mathews are still buried up his butt, behind Madow, but a few knowledgea­ble taxpayers and media members are seeing the light of their agenda. And its called SPEND SPEND SPEND. POWER POWER POWER.

Even you must know that spending is to help recover our economy, otherwise we would clearly have fallen into a depression­, even conservati­ve economist agree on the point.

National Debt increase by president in constant dollars.
Under Carter: 42%
Under Reagan: 189%
Bush Act 1: 55.6%
Clinton: 36%
Bush Act 2: 89%
http://www­.skymachin­es.com/US-­National-D­ebt-Per-Ca­pita-Perce­nt-of-GDP-­and-by-Pre­sidental-T­erm.htm

Obama would have to spend trillions more just to catch up to Bush sr.

[FirstShirt]

09:13 PM on 11/24/2009

Reagan had to increase military spending because of the neglect of Carter. We had double digit inflation under Carter. We had national angst and despair under Carter. Statistics can not only lie but hide the truth.

[Flowymac]

Shhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhh logic is not the going things now days...we must continue to just turn our heads and not do any research..­.

The SNL clip was actually poking fun at the DNC and Olbermann for the way Palin makes them go nuts.

[skunky93]

nahhhh..it was poking fun at the disaster potential of that little twit.

You had another lapse. It's showing Sarah's potential.
