Alabama Sen. Katie Britt’s (R) debut on the national political stage is prompting comparisons to another fiery conservative mom: former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).

The comparisons took a new life late Saturday, when Britt’s theatrical appearance was parodied by Scarlett Johansson on “Saturday Night Live” — much as Palin was parodied by Tina Fey in 2008.

Even some Republicans acknowledged Britt’s delivery was “over the top,” but they viewed the intense backlash from Democrats and media pundits as driven by a fear that Britt’s aw-shucks presentation as a mom sitting in a kitchen might actually peel away women voters from Biden.

Britt is now being mentioned as a possible vice presidential running mate, the spot Palin filled on former Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign.

And your point is?

[MLAA]

1. And deservedly so.

[spooky3]

4. If Britt weren't ridiculous, no one would have laughed at SNL. Nt

[MLAA]

21. Exactly.

Scarlett Johansson was as spot on as Tina Fey was with ‘I can see Russia from my house’ Palin

[JohnQFunk]

2. They say it as if it were a bad thing!

[NCDem47]

3. Blacklash to the backlash

Standard Republican operating procedure.

Sure, they're the victims. Always. Dems and libs are mean. Try and salvage some sympathy points out of this.

It was a royal mess and mockery at all levels. Sorry (not sorry) you didn't like how it portrayed Republican "values" and completely set you back with suburban women.

[NNadir]

5. You said it well, "And your point is?..."

[mgardener]

6. Democrats did NOT

Take a lawyer and Senator and put her in the kitchen to give a response.
Republicans did that.
They own it.

[IcyPeas]

7. But kicking effigies of President Biden is just fine.

What a joke.

[redstatebluegirl]

8. If the she fits!

[NanaCat]

9. Show you're an idiot

Get treated like an idiot.

It may make them feel better to think we're afraid of their Human Suit Barbie, but they've never been bright enough to recognize the difference between fear and contempt.

[BaronChocula]

10. Only they're saying it as if it's a GOOD thing

Their contention is that the Democratic fold is threatened by the notion of Britt on the con ticket. Just goes to show that cons don't learn. Palin became a national punchline until AFTER she was chosen for the ticket. Britt's national faceplant has come BEFORE the veep choice. And they think she would bring strength when the only thing she's known for nationally is being a fuckup? What horrible judgment.

But it's not like the Diaper Don would invite her now. He doesn't like associating with people he thinks are "losers" and right now her cred is in the dumps.

[Aristus]

11. Oh boo-hoo-hoo, Republicans!

You assholes got what you want: Hillary Clinton did not get to serve as President. She will never be President. That's what you wanted. Evidently, you guys didn't check which monkey's paw you wished for that on. Crying 'poor us' at this stage is just childish.

[Torchlight]

12. Other than the vast, vapid emptiness of both brains, they're nothing alike.

Wonder if she'll use "mavericky" in the next week or so. Just to see how it fits, is all; a little try on before the buy on.

[Grokenstein]

13. Can we skip to the end this time?

You know, just jump to the part where she's outlived her "usefulness" (snort) and dumped back into obscurity?

[magicarpet]

14. Palin and Britts are both tools for the American Fascist Party.

Now they want a big juicy kiss on the forehead and a heartfelt pat on the back.

eFf-U Nazis.

[soldierant]

22. I'm sure they'd be happy to give her a big pat on the back - if she were standing at the edge of a cliff.

[magicarpet]

23. At the edge of a cliff ?

Great idea, include Boebert, mtg, and Mace too - but push them into the crevasse with a bulldozer.

[lark]

15. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and moves like a duck - it's a duck!

Palin or Britt, both are embarassments to the party and the nation. I suspect Britt is a lot smarter, just cause Palin is so blindingly stupid it would be hard to reach those lows. She did get pretty low though, so valiant effort but in the end it was total jackassery and not believeable at all - not for one second.

[PlutosHeart]

16. Waddle waddle

Quack quack.

Sure appears so.

[lonely bird]

17. If she says "guys, gals..."

I will go outside and scream.

[area51]

18. Britt's performance "might actually peel away women voters from Biden."

Riiiiight.

[Novara]

19. If it quacks like a duck...

[Warpy]

20. She's reaping what she sowed in that sickening performance after the SOTU

but don't underestimate her. She's no Sarah Palin.

[Chrisdutch]

24. Britt vs. Palin

I look at Katie Britt as being Sarah Palin without the sense of humor.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. She's more like Michele Bachmann 2.0

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. What? If you are a Republican, isn't that compliment?

[Mike Nelson]

27. Ha-ha!

... that must make Republicans very happy! They loved Sarah, so why not love Katie? I hope we see more of Ms. Britt!

[brewens]

28. Ain't enough lipstick in the world for that pig! LOL They didn't gain a single woman there. Not a chance. n/t

[Clash City Rocker]

29. Well, if the dunce cap fits

[The Grand Illuminist]

30. I have to give the devil its due.

Though she made no sense at all, at least her tone and demeanor was calm and soft, almost ASMR like, and she didn't even raise her voice is maniacal anger and cut a professional wrestling threat promo. I was shocked by that.
