Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Bring Their Palin & Clinton Back to 'SNL'
Last night on "Saturday Night Live," co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, promoting their film "Sisters," brought back their most famous political impressions — Amy's Hillary Clinton 2008 arrived to coach Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton 2015, while Tina's Sarah Palin was on hand to rile up both Hillarys.

Hillary 2008 "hit the effin' floor" when told that the Republican front-runner this time is Donald Trump, but she wasn't happy when Fey's Palin told her, "Oh, you poor thing —I heard that after you lost, you had to become a secretary."
" — of State!" the exasperated Hillarys chimed in.
Then, in an epic speech, Fey's Palin said:
"Now here's my advice: Ya gotta do what ya believe in your spirit, but also: America. But not teachers and their fat, liberal books, but also. And even, why worry about fast-food wages with their status quo, which is another Latin word — 'status quo.' Meanwhile, Americans are bein' taken for a ride, and also, the man can only ride you when your back is bent, so ..."

Tina and Amy — with a big boost from musical guest Bruce Springsteen — brought "SNL" its best ratings in 22 months, trumping even the hosting turn by Donald Trump.
