The Sarah Palin Rap

Sarah Palin Herself To Be On SNL This Saturday.

A can't miss, my psychic powers guarantee.

In her own words:

"I haven't seen a script -- not at all. They haven't even hinted about what that script is going to say," said Palin.

"But you know," she said, "I just want to be there to show Americans that we will rise above the political shots that we take because we're in this serious business for serious challenges that are facing the good American people right now. That's why we're campaigning hard. That's why we're working hard."

Best Theory Of The Day

Ok, I was going to take a posting break and finish what I'm doing so I can leave at a decent time, but, this couldn't wait.
Daniel Larison's post from an hour ago dealing with Sarah Palin's (perceived?) newly affected folksiness had this great statement (click the title for the full post)

"Assuming an increase in aggregate folksiness, there are two realistic explanations: Palin has reverted to old habits of speech as crutches to cope with the additional pressure of being in the national spotlight (we can call this the SNL Theory of Increasing Adorability), or she has simply emphasized existing habits of speech that she has always had. "

My money's on SNL.

SNL Saturday, September 27, 2008

No one, I mean no one, can do Sarah Palin like Tina Fey. Not even Sarah Palin, I believe.

Brook Turner points out: The writers at SNL are getting a big break; some of the sketch dialog was taken directly from the actual interview/transcript. But as Andrew Sullivan points out,

"There is no way Saturday Night Live could make more fun of Palin than she made of herself. How does McCain win an election with a national joke as his running-mate?"
