Art imitates life between CBS and SNL

First time in history a comic used politican's words verbatim for laughs

When CBS's Katie Couric interview GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin this week, little did she realize she was writing Tina Fey's Saturday Night Life script word for word. The words and phrases MS Palin used with Couric were used word-for-word in Tina Fey's set last night on SNL. Below is the Palin-Couric interview, and beneath that the Tina Fey-Sarah Palin videos side-by-side.

Below are the CBS and SNL videos running side-by-side.

Anyone have Kathleen Parker's column calling on Palin to withdraw?
