Sexy Sarah Overshadows McCain Again

feymccain__opt.jpg

John McCain deserves a nice pat on the back for pulling in a huge audience for Saturday Night Live this past weekend.

According to reports, the McCain episode drew a 9.0 rating/20 share overnight household rating in 56 markets.

But, it wasn't good enough to match or exceed the numbers Sarah Palin delivered to SNL a few weeks ago.

The Alaskan governor rounded up a 10.7/24 share rating and the honor of being the draw for the MOST WATCHED SNL show since December 1997.

Wonder how Johnny feels about playing second fiddle to his #2?

The creepily ambitious moose hunter is probably LOVING the fact that she again has proved to be more 'popular' than the old senator!

      Re: Pwn3d! – Are you the same douche with a different name that is a religious freak? I can't wait to see you disappear after prop 8 does not pass and Obama is sitting in the white house.

      I wish Sarah would shoot you in the ass. I heard she's a good shot.

      McCAIN LOOKS LIKE HES GONNA DROP LOL

      Re: guilty of being white – That douche is also hoping 8 doesn't pass. Just to let you know. He's actually a closet tranny.

      SHE'S PLANNING ON RUNNING HERSELF IN FOUR YEARS THAT'S WHY! CRAZY BITCH!

    12. 12

      OMG! Stop with this shit already……
      I hate politics and what usually gets to me is when I see advertisements that try to present McCain and Obama as regular citizens with their rolled up white long sleeve collar shirts, pretending to care about the working class.
      In the end though I have to choose one of these two…wow.. very difficult.



    13. 13

      dont vote for mccain blah



    14. 14

      Your definition of creepy, Perez? Because she's a woman? Because she hunts? Because she eats moose? C'mon, get a life, get over it, move on. Yes, Palin was thrown into the political hoity-toity completely unprepared. Yes, she's floundered around a bit, trying to get her footing, to get comfortable, to find her balance. Yes, she's amused one and all with some of her antics. AND YES, she's engaging, she's ambitious, she's not run-of-the-mill Lower 48 fodder. AND YES, that seems to disturb you. Oh well, get over it.

    15. DaLa says – reply to this


      15

      He's like drying paint while she's a train wreck. Which would you rather watch?



    16. 16

      The only reason Perez wants Prop 8 to not pass is so his wedding from a few weeks ago (Fat man marries) isn't overturned.

      Palin is a moron. Whenever, wherever she speaks….I laugh. And so does the rest of the world. We laugh at her ignorance, stupidity, and we laugh at the people who think she is qualified to be our VP. She's not even qualified to be a substitute teacher. I'm sorry to all the McCain supporters out there…no offense, but Palin is an IDIOT. McCain made a huge mistake. She will be his scape goat too, if they lose. She'll be mocked, laughed at, and made into a total joke. Sad.

      I wouldn't read that much into it; it's not that big of a deal really. It was a faux-holiday weekend and many of the main SNL demograhpic of viewers were at house parties on Saturday. If McCain had been on the other week and Palin on this past saturday, the viewership numbers probably wouldn't be all that different. Plus, the Tina Fey as Palin bit is becoming increasingly less funny.



    22. 22

      WTF Perez nothing wrong with being a moose hunter or any hunter for that matter. Hunting is a fun sport ;)



    23. 23


      Obama supporters: don't slaughter the cow yet! (Obama's Kenyan family plans to slaughter a cow in celebration if he wins. That should make all you wolf and moose hunting haters happy. Why aren't you screaming about the celebratory cow slaughter in Obama's honor, huh?)

      COCK-BLOCK BARACK!! MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN!!!



    24. 24

      Re: LettyB – That would be my fucking guess…watch her go away after tomorrow. I live in California and they (religious freaks) are running out of time….



    25. 25

      If McCain wins, she'll be praying that he croaks so that she could take his place.

      Re: Smirks – Are they really doing that? Hahahahaha….where's Peta?

      Re: Smirks – Smirk, lol.. I love your posts nowadays.. lol.. You know it's coming. Get used to it and say it : President Barack Obama :P



    29. 29

      More popular or just easier to laugh at?



    30. 30

      We're a total pack of idiots, every one of us - - - the name-calling, the dirty tricks, the absolutely UGLY behavior from all parties - - - and we like to believe we have evolved. Someday, maybe, but sure as hell not now. My Grandmother's old addage of "you'll get more flies with honey than vinegar" has never been truer - - or more ignored. I'm disgusted with everyone, with all the nastiness. If we are the laughing stock of other countries, it's not because of any one political figure - it's US, boys and girls. It's what people see when they read the ugliness contained in so many comments. :( :( :(



    31. 31

      Re: Smirks – The "People Eating Tasty Animals" crew is HUGE in Alaska, Smirks!! Guess they're all hanging out up here just now, protesting, well, EVERYTHING!!! lol :)

      Re: Smirks – Mmmm, dead cow. You know how long I could feed my family on one cow?

      Re: Charmer – Then maybe they should quit reading an American website.



    35. 35

      Never, ever should such a dimwit like Palin be on the national ticket — only McCain would make such a wrong decision.

      Re: _Alice_ – 27 Alice are you trisexual? Because you just seem to go with everyone on here. Tell them what they want to hear! Just curious?
      :)



    37. 37

      Let's see…Obamamama is against prop 8 and ALSO AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE! Way to play both sides of the fence, Barry! Send this fucking waste of oxygen packing….



    38. 38

      Re: sweetpiece – Not true. I dislike both candidates. If I had my wish, these 2 dipshits would not be our choices. I see both sides. Good and bad. The ONLY person I outright can't stand, is Palin. I will not be sad if she has to go back to Alaska.
      *
      My point is…..I'm not on a side. I don't like either of our choices. So, I can joke about both, because I believe we are screwed either way.



    39. 39

      Of course Palin's ratings were higher — she's a comedian's/comedianne's WET DREAM of stupidity, blunders and foul ups!



    40. 40

      Re: Vince will Shamwow your ass – Oh, I so agree. I just keep reading comments that say "We're the laughing stock of . . . (insert name of foreign company here)." I just am so past caring what other countries think.



    41. 41

      Ha! They think it was McCain that pulled in the audience. I think it might have had something to do with David Cook and his band being on it. That's why I watched it. Won't be watching it again till Cook is on as a host. Political candidates should NOT be on comedy shows. Their terms of service are laughable enough.



    42. 42

      Re: sweetpiece – I think I'm trisexual, SP - - I'll try anything once, twice if it feels good!!!! :)



    43. 43

      Re: Pwn3d! – I think you should vote or McCain then that idiot sarah palin will be VP she is so stupid its funny. as for prob 8 vote NO you idiots everyone should have teh right to marry. All consertatives can fuck ya selfs which you probs already do



    44. 44

      Thank you - THANK YOU - WONDERFUL INDEPENDENT VOTERS !!!!

      John Boehner on Barack Barack Obama today -
      -
      "Now, listen, I've voted 'present' two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn't feel like I should vote," Boehner said. "In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chicken shit. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."

      Re: Charmer – I never cared what other countries think. Europe is dependent on us for their security. Without our military and our nukes they'd be all goosestepping right now. Who cares what they think.



    47. 47

      Ken Duberstein, former White House Chief of Staff to Ronald Reagan, speaking to Campbell Brown of MSNBC, criticized John McCain's hasty choice of Sarah Palin as running mate:

      You know what most Americans I think realized is that you don’t offer a job, let alone the vice presidency, to a person after one job interview. Even at McDonald’s, you’re interviewed three times before you get a job. So I think the whole question of whether or not she is fit not to be vice president but to be president in an emergency on day one, people have resoundingly said, 'don't think so'…

      Vote Obama tomorrow!



    48. 48

      Re: Squirrel – No offense but they care because we need then when we invade other countries. Of course they have an opinion, we use them when we need them. And they're fucking sick of it.



    49. 49

      Re: _Alice_ – Lol. They ARE! And I don't think they have PETA in Kenya >.>. Hehe.



    50. 50

      Re: _Alice_ – That's not true. It's not IF we have the capability to wage war by ourselves but how many wars we can wage simultaneously. We don't NEED their help - it just makes it more acceptable if they DO help. We need no one's approval or help.



    51. 51

      Re: erhg74 – I live to amuse you, erhg. ;) My lips can't form those syllables, though!

      Re: Charmer – LOL Charmer!!! It's finally cold here (to me "cold" is like, in the 40's lol) so I have my wood stove going today… cozy!!!

      Re: Vince will Shamwow your ass – Yes… probably about a year! Yummy medium-rare juicy steak!! mmmmmm



    55. 55

      Re: ChCh_Chic – #43

      You should rethink your insult. Not all Dems are against prop 8 so it's down to conservatives like me in California to also vote No on 8 if it's going to be defeated. Which I did. So why don't you try being a little more open-minded instead of hurling invective, aight? Just because we like a different presidential candidate from you doesn't mean that we're all in favor of 8.

      Re: luvtoread – Ken Duberwho? lol



    57. 57

      Never forget - it was the REPUBLICANS who voted BUSH IN.
      -
      Yet, they would like everyone to forget their idiotic choice. No, not forgotten. REPUBLICANS VOTED B-U-S-H into office - TWICE.
      -



    58. 58

      It seems that Sarah's numbers were bigger than the Pied Piper of America know as Obama when he was on SNL in the past. It looks like he was second fiddle to her ratings too, right?



    59. 59

      The one thing left that scares me — republicans are liars and thieves — my concern is that they will again steal an election.



    60. 60

      Re: Squirrel – That's a very imperialistic way of looking at it. We are not the world police nor are we the only ones allowed to do what we want when we want. We wonder why we are hated. Well, look at what we've done. We invaded and raped an entire country. Everyone on the planet has a right to an opinion about us. To think they don't, well IMO, it's dangerous. And it will lead to more hatred and to more 9/11's. We stick our noses where it doesn't belong all over the world. And then we have the audacity to feign rage when others do the same to us? Please. The world has every right to an opinion about us and our election. After all, they could be next on our list. Let's see…who has oil? Who do we FEEL is a threat? Who has what we want? Just remember that every empire has fallen and ours is just a matter of time.



    61. 61

      True, Palin drew more viewers, but those viewers didn't necessarily enjoy her boring performance. McCain did a far better job Saturday poking fun at himself!



    62. 62

      THere is nothing sexy about Palin. Mccain's apperance on SNL was a joke, just like his presidency will be if he wins.

      OBAMA/ BIDEN ALL THE WAY!!!!!



    63. 63

      PROUDLY VOTED FOR MCCAIN! :)



    64. 64

      Re: _Alice_ – I've said this before and will repeat once more. We will always protect our interests here and abroad. Regardless of public perception or approval. It's not imperialistic to take steps to ensure our future. Sometimes war is the only option. We will always get what we need. No white flags. Why do countries hate us? Because we are #1. There's always someone trying to knock us down. Fuck'em



    65. 65

      Re: Charmer – It's not easy being right all the time but I try.



    66. 66

      Re: Squirrel – Well then, I guess we will politely agree to disagree on that one.

      I'm signing off for the night. Take care Squirrel. See you back here soon!



    67. 67

      I don't want a regular working man as president- I want someone with enough motivation and education and drive to want to take all the CRAP the voters dish out and still keep the CONSTITUTION and state's rights intact. I want someone who wants to be OUT of my business. We didn't even HAVE a federal tax until the 20th century. We don't NEED all this federal government- DO IT LOCALLY where you can actually protest or make a difference. How many of you have read your constitution? did you pay attention in civics class or history class? Have you TAKEN an economics course? Or just read a book on it? Obama is the least experienced person ever to run for office. In any way you cut it. He's never paid an employee- he just has TAKEN money. Say, from freddie and Fannie- you don't see him pressing to investigate THAT do you?



    68. 68

      Maybe it had low ratings because over 11 million were watching college football — TTU's upset over UT. Guns up!!

      Sarah Palin doesn't give a fuck about McCain or the job of VP or the country or anything. She's just out for herself and how much publicity she can get. Such a fame whore.
