Palin Was Against SNL Before She Was For It
As we get ready for Sarah Palin's interview with Oprah Winfrey (4 p.m. here in NYC), Oprah.com has posted some outtakes from the interviews. It includes her thoughts on Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live's treatment of her; the McCain campaign, she says, resisted letting her go on SNL, for fear the appearance would be "atrocious." But Palin, rogue that she is, pushed to go on the show: "I thought it would be fun."
It's an interesting bit. But wait, there's another bonus! Thanks to the Huffington Post and the McCain campaign, you can also read the actual e-mails she sent the McCain staff! In which it turns out she said exactly the opposite of the thing she's claiming now!
Per the acutal emails, the McCain camp encouraged Palin to go on the show and prove that she could "laugh at [herself]." But Palin—who's also long maintained that she watched Fey's skits with the volume off—was annoyed with how SNL had portrayed her family and initially wanted no part of it. "These folks are whack," she wrote. "What's the upside in giving them any [sic] celebrity venue a ratings boost?"
Yeah, but who are you going to believe? Sarah Palin or Sarah Palin?

The problem is that we may not dodge it next election, unless Obama really gets some things done.
Palin makes me embarrassed to be a woman. She seems incapable of logical thought.

That is exchange is almost too stereotypically hilarious- right down to ending the e-mail with "also". For someone who's appeal seems to be based on being down to earth she sure does a lot of lying. Oh well, at least she'll be providing John Stuart with the sort of easy, day-in day-out material that I thought might have gone away with the Bush presidency.

[...] some of this and have some fun!” But, in reality, she is the kind of person who – as leaked emails from a McCain staffer reveal – actually says: “Still not thrilled with the idea [of appearing on SNL]. These folks are [...]
