This weekend, presidential hopeful and self-declared "Sad Grandpa" John McCain swung by NBC's Saturday Night Live to show voters he has a sense of a humor -- and slightly above-average comedic timing. Fortunately for "Mac", the Republican had a little help from SNL vet Tina Fey, who donned a designer suit and a thick Alaskan accent to impersonate beehived/bespectacled hockey mom-turned-VP nominee, Sarah Palin.

The big shocker? Most of the good lines went to McCain, who artfully poked fun at his campaign's relative shortage of funds -- and celeb donors -- and even gave our very own Heidi Montag a shout-out! (Well, y'know, another one.) Anyhow, check out the video, then let us know whether you think Spencer should be jealous of Heidi's major "in" with the Senator...

• This just in: presidential hopeful John McCain to spend the last Saturday before next week's elections on SNL!
