Top 5 Sarah Palin Impressions of 2008
See more of NewsOne's BEST OF EVERYTHING 2008!!!
Political comedy was dealt a blow this year as George Bush prepared to leave behind eight golden years of comedy gold. Fortunately the comedy gods shined from Alaska and gave them a new daft cocky character to mock relentlessly.

While Tina Fey got the most acclaim out of imitating Sarah Palin, there were several other brilliant comedians who put there own spin on the ice princess of politics.
1. Black Sarah Palin. I know you're thinking bias, but Abiola Abrams did a great job adding an urban twist to Palin's arrogant, ignorant persona.
2. Tina Fey. Tina Fey brought SNL back to the glory days of political satire after a long drought when Will Ferrell left and took his George Bush impression with him.

3. Lisa Nova. Lisa Nova got into the Sarah Palin impression game first, but only had the internet to promote. While her impression isn't as good as Fey's, she captured the reason why McCain picked Palin.
4. Sara Benincasa. Sarah was another one of the first Palin impersonators and did a good job through the election season adding a little spunk to Palin's already perky personality.
5. Sarah Palin. Nobody could make Sarah Palin look more stupid than she could herself. To the untrained ear this seems like another Palin impersonator acting very stupid and gullible, but it actually turned out to be Palin herself being pranked by a Canadian deejay with a bad French accent.

Sure beats working! Heck, without the slow pitch softball that is a Palin impression, comedy writers might actually have to work at the material! Can you imagine such a world? Not being able to breeze in, put glasses and hair on your leading lady, have her quint like Palin and be done with it?
And the great thing is, it will last forever! No one will ever get tired of you one trick pony writers giving us the same old slop. Here's Palin again, with a slightly different hat! And here she is, winking even more than last time! Comedy gold!
LisaNova's impression got a lot better, and I think it was better than Tina Fey's. The guy she had doing Charlie Gibson was a hoot, too. And her video with Ralph Nader...
