"She's a Hoot"

Sarah Palin praising Tina Fey from Saturday Night Live in her own folksy way. It has been reported Sarah Palin may appear on the Live show this Saturday. Political suicide? Its one of those things that can go really well, or really really bad. The only way of it working, I think, is if you feature Tina Fey in the same skit, and hopefully Palin can show she can make fun of herself and go with it.

So what does this say of the Sarah Palin brand? She stands for 'six pack Joe', hockey moms across America, and the average American. But what about all the serious stuff we expect politicians to stand for? Equality, leadership, understanding, intelligence. I'm not sure a spot on SNL will get her any of those.
