For weeks, the laugh has been on her. Now, it’s Sarah Palin’s turn.

The Republican vice presidential candidate – and Tina Fey's alter ego – will appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend with guest host Josh Brolin, the McCain-Palin campaign has confirmed.

It’s still hush-hush exactly what Palin will do on the comedy show: Will she partner with Brolin’s wickedly spot-on impersonation of President Bush, as showcased in the actor's new film, W.?

Or, will she stick to sticking it to Fey, whose wickedly spot-on impersonation of Palin has helped shoot the show's ratings skyward.

In an interview with PEOPLE for next week’s issue, it was hard to tell whether the Palins are still laughing along with Fey. When a reporter noted that Fey plays the vice presidential candidate as bubble-headed, Sarah retorted: “That’s funny, I kind of play her bubble-headed, too, when I imitate her.”

Chimes in husband Todd Palin about his wife: “She’s been impersonating Tina Fey longer than Tina Fey’s been doing Sarah Palin."

1. Fuck you....fucking hateful Nazi !!!!!

[YOY]

2. Sure you have...what Fey characters have you imitated? Or Fey herself?

:crickets: Wouldn't know how Fey acts in the slightest.

I can't think of one portrayal that's technically "bubble-headed" let alone the woman herself. Fey is the intelligent hard-working anti-beauty queen everywoman in many cases.

:sigh:

Aren't those Palins precious...

[Genevieve]

3. Fuck sarah palin....I can't stand the sight of her. nt

[dana_b]

7. sounds like she and Bachmann could be BFFs. n/t

[Genevieve]

12. yup! nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. And it's becoming an ever-increasing trend...

...I think most people are sick of 99.9% of whatever spews from her gaping maw.

:patriot:

[fascisthunter]

4. I Somehow Doubt It, Sarah

[undeterred]

5. Do they get NBC in Alaska?

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Man, hated-based rightwing Christian zealot xenophobes don't understand humor.

[baldguy]

10. Sure they do.

For them, it's just based on other peoples pain, death & blood.

[City Lights]

9. Fuck Tawd and his stepford wife, Sarah.

And for any NBC employees lurking here - I won't be watching SNL this week.

[eleny]

11. Fuck you, Sarah, and the dinosaur you rode in on

[DeeDeeNY]

13. Not a good move by SNL

She refuses to give any interviews to NBC, and then they accept her on her terms so that she comes out looking like a good sport and a lot better than she really is.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Maybe they just suckered her in so they could throw raw meat at her and pull her pants down

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Fey is a successful writer, Moose Lady can barely read index cards.

[Jennicut]

16. HA! She needs talking points drilled into her head in order to come off

as semi coherent. Nutball. Tina Fey rocks, Sarah not so much.

[jazzjunkysue]

26. She can read them, she just doesn't know what they mean.

"Apes don't read Nietzsche,"
"Yes they do, they just don't understand it."

A Fish Called Wanda

[and-justice-for-all]

17. I can not stand this wench...

Todd can go fuck himself.

[JuniperLea]

18. There is no way this can work in Palin's favor...

I can't wait to see what kind of stupid shit she pulls.

This is more of the Costanza "Joke Store" mode of attempted and failed humor:

"That’s funny, I kind of play her bubble-headed, too, when I imitate her"

What a fucking dumbass.

[Occam Bandage]

19. How do you impersonate Tina Fey? That doesn't even make sense.

[renie408]

20. Gee, I guess that means that Tina Fey won't be letting up on Palin any time soon. n/t

[CarbonDate]

21. They're going to pants her in front of everybody.

Seriously, all Fey has to do is continue impersonating Palin so people can see for themselves that she really is that stupid.

[RoadRage]

22. All of the people who practice imitating TINA FEY.. please raise your hands!!

:hi:

Ohh.. so far, only smily guy is doing it. I guess that's because NO ONE WOULD EVER IMITATE TINA FEY. :eyes:

[Lorien]

27. The Palins are compulsive liars

they just can't help themselves.

[Tribetime]

23. She's walking into the lions den and doesn't even know it

[CitizenPatriot]

24. she finally found a career she's interested in actually working on!

comedienne!

Let her go...Just let her go....

She is NOT a politician.

[XOKCowboy]

25. Relax everyone! Republicans are not funny!

Everyone knows it.

She'll bomb big time on SNL, it'll go viral all over the Sunday shows and will be the final nail in their campaign's coffin.

[gabby garcia]

28. well this should endear her to the SNL cast

and crew. man, I hope they screw her hard tomorrow night.

[CakeGrrl]

29. The question: Will the McCain campaign supply their own "audience"

To make sure Mooseburgers gets cheers and applause?

I'm guessing Tina Fey will have the night off. Palin would get depressed if she had to share the stage with the woman who said she'd leave Earth if Palin got elected.

:evilgrin:

[Greg K]

30. If she's not booed mercilessly I'll be very disappointed. nt

[TexasObserver]

31. Tina Fey is more qualified to be VP than Sarah Palin.

And Todd? That room temperature IQ should stick to revving up his snowmobile and letting the kids raise themselves. He's not much good for anything else.

[ShortnFiery]

32. Satire is wasted on that dim wit.

:crazy:
