Amanda and I are renting from Netflix episodes of 30 Rock, which, like a lot of other people, we became curious about after watching Tina Fey do Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. We've made it through the first season and both of us think it's a riot. I'm surprised by how overtly political it is. This notice, from War Room, concerning Mitt Romney's preparations for 2012, put me in mind of the following exchange in an episode toward the end of that first season:
Jack: Those jokes you wrote for my Mitt Romney fund raiser, they were top-notch.
Liz: Those weren't jokes. That was an appeal for a return to common sense and decency.
Jack: Well, it got big laughs.
By the way, regarding Palin, Camille Paglia says that those who understand what a sorry figure she (Palin) is are sorry figures themselves. It all has to do with Dick Cavett and something that happened in a Yale seminar Paglia attended in the 1960s. She (Paglia) is kind of a nut.
