Buzz In: What Are Your Favorite SNL Political Impersonations?

On the left: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, John McCain's new running mate. On the right: Tina Fey, comedienne extraordinaire. Anyone else see the resemblance? (OK, then check out this photo. See it now?) Most days I wake up happy that Fey has moved on from Saturday Night Live to the uproarious 30 Rock; today, I wish she'd stuck around SNL long enough to play Palin in the run-up to November's election.

I'm assuming Palin's portrayal will fall to the capable hands of Kristin Wiig instead, but the resemblance got me thinking: What are your favorite SNL political impersonations of all time? Fred Armisen's been in a world of controversy over his Obama impression, but how do you think he's done with it? Personally, I've always been a fan of Darrell Hammond's Bill Clinton (and pretty impressed at the sheer number of Bush administration characters he's played), though Will Ferrell's George W. Bush is pretty classic, too. What are your favorites?

Game Change Trailer: Julianne Moore and Ed Harris Channel Sarah Palin and John McCain

Is it too soon to revisit the 2008 election? I hope not, because the trailer for HBO movie Game Change looks incredible. The film begins at the onset of John McCain's campaign, as political strategist Steve Schmidt (Woody Harrelson) advises presidential hopeful McCain (Ed Harris, who looks frighteningly like the senator) to select Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for his ticket.

Like Harris's McCain, Julianne Moore does a dead-on impersonation of Palin as she initially charms people as McCain's folksy running partner. The film looks like it doesn't hold back as it charts Palin's blunders with the media (being able to see Russia from Alaska is in there) and McCain's dissatisfaction with her. As a citizen, it was an entertaining campaign season, so I think the dramatization of it will be even more enthralling. The movie airs on March 10, but you can watch the trailer for Game Change now after the break.
