Palin Rap: "I Built Me A Bridge, It Ain't Going Nowhere!"

Amy Poehler is a hilarious and brilliant comedian, but even her skills on the mic, (including the line, "Shoot a motherhumping moose 8 days a week!") couldn't quite save the "Palin Rap" on last night's Weekend Update. Claiming that she was stepping in for the Governor, Amy rapped about hunting, a bridge to nowhere, and, perhaps most awkwardly, included a "When I say Obama, you say Ayers" reference that seemed to fall flat with the audience. Palin played along as Amy and crew mocked her, but the whole thing was a bit like watching your drunk Uncle Morty take the mic at a wedding and rock out to "We Didn't Start The Fire." You appreciate his attempt and giggle at his rhymes, but honestly, the whole thing is kind of embarrassing and in the end, you just kind of want it to be over. Clip after the jump.

Ok, so, remember when an NBC rep denied that Sarah Palin would be on tonight's Saturday Night Live? Well, he totally lied to us, guys, because all reports are indicating that the Governor of Alaska will, indeed, make a cameo appearance in tonight's episode. Be sure to check back for tonight's live thread- we're gonna get through this thing together. [Associated Press]
