“Saturday Night Live” can’t seem to get enough of Sarah Palin. The Republican vice presidential candidate appears to have become the symbol of the NBC comedy show, as comedienne Tina Fey, who has just won several Emmy Awards for her “30 Rock” work, filled the shoes of Sarah Palin once again.

The show’s season premiere was a major hit, as you don’t get to see every day a speech delivered by both Sarah Palin and Sen. Hillary Clinton, although they are just Tina Fey and Amy Poehler wearing wigs and make-up.

This time, however, Amy Poehler impersonated CBS’s Katie Couric, who interviewed John McCain’s running mate last week. Therefore, it’s not at all hard to imagine how the talk between the Sarah Palin-like Tina Fey and the Katie Couric-like Amy Poehler went.

The show displayed a whole range of jokes to Sarah Palin’s detriment, ridiculing both her foreign affairs-related experience and her way of dealing with problems.

Amy Poehler’s Couric gave it a go and asked Tina Fey’s Palin how she would help smooth the progress of democracy abroad. The answer? “Katie, I’d like to use one of my lifelines. … I want to phone a friend.” Wrong answer, Ms. Palin, or Fey, or whatever. Thus, when Poehler’s Couric told the fictional Republican vice presidential candidate that she should be the one to give the answer, Fey’s Palin replied, “Well, in that case, I’m just gonna have to get back to ya.”

Moving on to outer-Palin issues, Chris Parnell also appeared on Saturday’s show and played presidential debate moderator Jim Lehrer in a sketch that satirized Friday night’s battle between John McCain and Democratic competitor Barack Obama. And Darrell Hammond did a great job, too, playing McCain and his usual attempts of rocking the entire debate.

I sure wonder what the upcoming weekend’s “SNL” will bring us. A new chapter of the “Sarah Palin Tales,” maybe? A 21^st century remake of Geoffrey Chaucer’s story collection? Whoever the sketches include, I hope they don’t leave Palin out.
