Another season of Saturday Night Live kicked off this weekend and the inevitable happened. Tina Fey made a special appearance to play vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. And while 8-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps hosted the evening’s show, Fey and SNL regular Amy Poehler stole it from under him with their skit entitled the “non-partisan message.”

After weeks of speculation that Palin was what some called Fey’s “hot twin,” Fey embraced the uncanny comparison to portray her on the often politically farce-charged comedy show. The skit, also featuring Poehler as Senator Hillary Clinton, focused on sexist issues that the two politicians have both faced; Palin with beauty queen references and Clinton with not so beautiful references like ‘MILF’ versus “FLURGE.”

The skit began with Poehler’s Clinton claiming that although the message was supposed to be non-partisan, she was told she was speaking alone. Fey poked fun at Palin’s inexperience with foreign affairs by saying in the message, “I can see Russia from my house!” While Poehler’s Clinton bragged about her experience. Fey also joked about Palin’s global warming stance, saying that, “its just God huggin’ us closer.”

Poehler’s Clinton made jokes about Clinton’s ambition to become the first female president by saying, “I didn’t want a woman to be President. I wanted to be President and I just happen to be a woman.” She then lectured Fey’s Palin about speaking on her road to the White House. “I scratched and clawed through mud and barbed wire and you just glided in on a dog sled wearing your pageant sash and your Tina Fey glasses.”
