" Think politics are too &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot;? Well, wake up, girl, beause politics just got FUNNY! We can&amp;#039;t get enough of the comedy sketches that shows like Saturday Night Live and The Colbert Report are doing of the candidates. Check out the SNL sketch that poked fun at Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton last weekend:      For the SNL clip of Palin and Hillary, what was tricky was making sure the skit was balanced \u2014 as in, that it wasn&amp;#039;t overly harsh on just one of the candidates or political parties. Seth Myers, a head writer for SNL, explained in the  New York Times that the writers &amp;quot;try to come out as fair and evenhanded as possible,&amp;quot; and that by including a Hillary-impersonator too, they were able to avoid making it seem like just an attack piece on Sarah Palin. A fair and balanced script isn&amp;#039;t the only thing they spend time thinking about at SNL: Creating the Sarah Palin wig for Tina Fey (who played Palin in the sketch) was practically just as complicated! According tothe New York Times, a wig requires &amp;quot;a hairdresser, a team of wig makers, colorists and a pound of human hair&amp;quot; plus 40-50 hours to make (and we thought we spent a lot of time doing our hair)! According to the article, the Palin wig was a combination of a &amp;quot;French twist with a &amp;#039;60s bouffant kind of thing, and bangs.&amp;quot; Hmm... maybe we should start rocking this hairstyle at school? So, do you tune into comedy shows like Saturday Night Live and The Colbert Report? And what do you think of these clips? Poke some fun at the candidates - here!
