If I were Sarah I'd beware of Joe Biden coming at her with a baseball bat.

I managed to stay up long enough to see her at the beginning and during the SNL newscast. I think she did a pretty good job.
Of course I'm sure the host Josh Brolin was beside himself :-) He did a really good BDS rant in the monologue (shocker).

Translation: Nobody watches SNL.

I tuned into SNL last night. Sarah did pretty well, even beside Alec Baldwin & put him in his place when she said she liked Steven the best!! However, SNL is just lame any more, not at all like it was in the 70s and 80s. I guess the libtard comedians have forgotten how to be funny and would just rather push their politics.

SNL was funny until Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Jane Curtin and John Belushi left.
After that, not so much.
