Sarah, meet W. And welcome to the intersection of politics and pop culture in the Lower 48. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is set to appear this weekend on "Saturday Night Live" with host Josh Brolin, the star of director Oliver Stone's new movie about President Bush, "W." It's a potentially provocative pairing given that "W." at times takes brutal aim at a Republican presidency that this year's nominee, John McCain, would like to avoid. The Alaska governor has been the subject of a popular "SNL" parody featuring lookalike actress Tina Fey, a former "SNL" cast member who stars in the NBC sitcom "30 Rock." Whether Palin and Fey will appear together Saturday was not announced. Jill Hazelbaker, a spokeswoman for McCain's campaign, confirmed Friday that Palin will appear but offered no details about what Palin will say or do. ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ifykw-1TrbDmXfctYJs9dsWTxqEgD93SBHP80

Holy Sh*t! Brolin and Palin, I guess it could've been worse had they invited Brolin's lovely wife Barbra Streisand....That should make for some p r e t t y interesting television.

I think Babs would be Josh Brolin's step-mother-in-law. She's married to Josh's Dad, James Brolin - I think that's his name. I can't wait to see SNL this weekend! Is this the wackiest election year you've ever seen, or what? ;D

You're right. In fact, I realized that as I was on my way home from work and it was mentioned on the radio that JOSH Brolin would be on SNL with her. Immediately I realized that I had misread this thread and thought it was James.

Chile, who can keep up with Hollyweird's incestuous meanderings? They're all inter-related, right? Anyway, I really want to see the movie "W" this weekend!!
