The Alaskan Governor simply cannot handle a one-on-one chat with a reporter. She is all over the place. Take a look at Palin's performance with Jacksonville TV anchor Shannon Ogden. Enough said. Imagine Palin before a roomful of hungry reporters. It would not be a pretty sight.
Palin, however, will soon step into a very bright national spotlight: an appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” The Associated Press reported today that Palin is itching to appear on SNL and meet her impersonator, Tina Fey. “I love her, she’s a hoot and she’s so talented,” said Palin.
“It would be fun to meet her, imitate her and keep on giving her new material.” Of a Palin appearance, Lorne Michaels, executive producer of the SNL, said “all in good time.”
An SNL appearance would be a PR grand slam for Palin and the campaign. Palin would be tightly scripted, as she was during the debate with Joe Biden. Palin held her own during the Biden debate. A scripted Palin would do well on SNL.
Fey's take on Palin has provided SNL with a major ratings boost. It's only right that the show give Palin a shot.
