• Sarah Palin Preps for Saturday Night Live, Sort Of

    In an shocking and uncharacteristic move, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is going into a big challenging endeavor without any knowledge of the job

    Sarah Palin discussed her upcoming "Saturday Night Live" appearance on Friday, telling Neal Boortz in a radio interview that she does not know what the late-night sketch comedy show has lined up for her while adding that it is a chance to "rise above the political shots that we take."

    "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."

    Asked if she is going to play Tina Fey, the actress who has been skewering the Alaska governor's debate performances and television interviews, Palin said, "I should. That's a good idea."

    She then added: "Oh, I don't know what they have lined up."

    Hopefully they'll just let her improvise, on account of she's so doggone good at that and it'll work to shore up the laughs and help her performance with the laughs by shorin' everything up and in addition to health care and laughs, of course comedy also too.
