In Case You Missed It. . .

Last night's Saturday Night Live's send-up of the VP debates was priceless. Joe Biden came in for some good satire ("God love him, but [McCain's] a raging maniac"), but Tina Fey was again brilliant in her dead-on impression of Gov. You Betcha. The biggest sustained laugh seemed to be when Fey/You Betcha said "I believe marriage should be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers." Her closing statement - - where she began playing a flute as if in a beauty pagent's talent competition - - was also hilarious (she repeated "maverick" for the umteenth time, "for all of you Joe Sixpacks playing a drinking game"). SNL is the best part of this election season.
