Why does it matter so much that people actually believed it was Palin who said she could see Russia?

It's not the skits themselves that was Palin's undoing. The skits themselves magnified the mistakes that she made during the election and it didn't help that the skits (as said earlier) mirrored what she actually said.
Regardless of what the American people believed she may have said out of her mouth word for word, the bottom line is that people saw her make these mistakes that made for lampoon fodder.
Again as others have said, comedians didn't have to look far for material, just to the source.
And remember, sometimes, comedy is a somewhat lighter way of facing the cold hard truth.
