Rumor has it Sarah Palin will take a break from stumping for the second-most important single job in the world to bite back at Tina Fey, who as you all know has famously been lampooning the Alaskan Guv on "Saturday Night Live."

Allegedly Palin will play Fey in an American Express commercial, according to this as-yet unconfirmed nugget.

Variety brings you the details on the juicy rumor.

That would be hilarious. I would love to see her try to pull off Tina Fey as well as Tina pulls off Palin.

It'll be interesting.

BTW, am I the only one who gets the crap scared out of them by that picture of her? It's just creepy.

Should be funny stuff. Although, am I the only one who found the last two Fey-as-Palin appearances underwhelming?

The first one with her paired up with Hillary was great, but the last two were only occasionally funny. For the debate skit, I laughed at the line about "marriage is a sacred institution for two unwilling teenagers," but that was about it.

And nothing, nothing will ever equal those SNL presidential skits from '88. I still giggle about the Dukakis line about "my ancestors were little swarthy people!"

This was my favorite part of that skit:

Diane Sawyer: Mr. Vice-President, you still have a minute-twenty.

George Bush: What? That can't be right. I must have spoken for at least two minutes.

Diane Sawyer: No, just forty seconds, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Really? Well, if I didn't use the time then, I must have just used the time now, talking about it.

Diane Sawyer: No, no, Mr. Vice-President, it's not being counted against you.

George Bush: Well, I just don't want it to count against Governor Dukakis' time.

Diane Sawyer: It won't. It will come out of the post-debate commentary.

George Bush: Do you think that's a good idea?

Diane Sawyer: You still have a minute-twenty, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Well, more has to be done, sure. But the programs we have in place are doing the job, so let's keep on track and stay the course.

Diane Sawyer: You have fifty seconds left, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Let me sum up. On track, stay the course. Thousand points of light.

Diane Sawyer: Governor Dukakis. Rebuttal?

Michael Dukakis: I can't believe I'm losing to this guy!

I was really taken by the line about global warming: "We're not sure if it's man-made, or if it's just a natural part of the end of days."

I thought the Biden portion was horribly underdone. It was like a polite little bit like "we have to make fun of them both, so..." I mean, they didn't even do an eye-stretching thing on Jason Sudeikis.
