I, like much of America I suspect, made sure I was in front of the TV for Saturday Night Live. Sarah Palin did the “cold open” and Weekend Update.
I was very surprised she looked so wooden and uncomfortable in both hits. This was not her comfort zone.
I was trying to think of an analogy–maybe someone from Hogan’s Heroes who sneaks out of the Stalag and ends up at a party with Gestapo officers. Actually, considering the circumstances that’s a pretty good analogy, isn’t it?
