And then there's three undecideds in a diner...

I have yet to see the Weekend Update footage, but the lead-in was meh. Palin was just sort of being her plain vanilla self. Doubt it's going to do much for her.

It was all pretty meh except for Fey's portrayal and reaction when she found out Palin was there. The Weekend Update sketch was just over the top ridiculousness. Amy Poehler's good, but that was flat material she got there. I suspect they didn't want to write anything too edgy for this show. I'm really surprised that Palin didn't actually do much. Doing something a bit silly or good-naturedly self-deprecating seems like the main reason to put her on the show.

Yeah, I was curious why Palin went on anyway, since she didn't do much. She could have been doing something productive.

I suspect it was to try to save face by being a good sport on tv. Makes it seem like we're laughing with her rather than at her.

But yeah they botched it.

Saving face means being something more than a wet rag who just shows up and mouths some lines. It just further cemented that she's useless and shouldn't be on national stage, be it politics or entertainment.

Good luck Alaska.
