Most of that is actually pretty good . . . and too believable. However, I don’t think McCain could punch in a cell phone number that fast. ---

Is that a spoof of a TV or movie scene? Seems kinda familiar. ---

Is Palin’s ring tone (theme from _Mission Impossible_) supposed to be significant? ---

Hmmm . . . about half the lines were non sequiturs. At least half weren’t funny. Good premise, though. Funny to see Palin shooting the auto rifle. Overall I give it a 7.5 out of 10 just because so much Youtube humor fails so miserably. Offline it would be a 5.5 out of 10. If the real Sarah Palin was that hot I might vote for her :D. ---

I gave it 9 out of 10. -1 just because I didn’t like the portrayal of McCain. But I thought it was brilliant! Light-years better than **anything** SNL has done for a long, long time. ---

“Hold your horses there, Northern Exposure.” It was kinda funny, but not unlike a lot of videos on the Internet, the piss poor acting was distracting.
