Saturday Night Live Opening

To understand all of the jokes, one first needs to know who Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton are. One also needs to know that Hillary Clinton ran a close race against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination, and Sarah Palin is the republican candidate for vice president. In the video, Sarah Palin speaks with an exaggerated northern accent. One must know she is from Alaska. A joke is also made that Sarah can see Russia from her house. This is funny because Palin has little foreign policy experience. The issue of global warming is also raised. Clinton says that it's man's fault and Palin says its God hugging us. Palin is very religious.
