An advisor to Republican presidential candidate John McCain told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today that a "Saturday Night Live" sketch poking fun at his running mate Sarah Palin was "sexist."
"The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin," McCain advisor Carly Fiorina told Mitchell, continuing, "and so in that sense they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive and Sarah Palin as totally superficial. I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes I would say, sexist in the sense that just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean she lacks substance."
Sarah Palin however had a different reaction:
"She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween," her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt said, according to CBS News.
In the skit, Fey appeared with Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton and the two talked about sexism in the media and their own ideas about politics. "I don't agree with the Bush doctrine," Poehler said at one point.
"I don't know what that is," Fey added, laughing.
The governor and her traveling press corps watched the show from the campaign plane as it flew from Reno to Denver Saturday night. The premiere was the most watched SNL since Al Gore hosted in 2002.
