Palin on SNL Tonight?

UPDATE: McCain-Palin campaign says Gov GILF will not be making American laugh out loud prior to the debates. But I’ll stick with my editorializing anyway.

Since she didn’t do so well in interviews, the McCain campaign is attempting a new tactic with Sarah Palin in the hope that she’s cool to some demographic someplace. Word is Palin will try to prove she can actually be funny–or at least a good sport–on tonight’s Saturday Night Live, possibly playing opposite doppleganger Tina Fey.

But when she was interviewed by Katie Couric, Palin kinda gave the impression she doesn’t have a real big vocabulary and sure doesn’t like being made fun of:

"It – it’s funny that a comment like that was – kind of made to – cari – I don’t know, you know? Reporters …" Palin trailed off

"Mocked?" asked Couric .

"Yeah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yeah."

So to insure the VP candidate’s protection from polysyllables and pointed humor, on Wednesday security for Gov. Palin conducted a walk-through of the Rockefeller Center studio in anticipation of the possible appearance.
