the thing Palin's SNL appearance proved beyond a shadow of a doubt....

[BklynChick]

she's just an actress with a very good ability to deliver lines and act them out. That is all. There's clearly nothing else there.

1. Was it my imagination or . . .

did she seem to be not having a whole lot of fun?

Tina Fey's revulsion seemed too real too.

2. Judging by her record as mayor and Gov, and now VP candidate, I can conclude

that she is 100% for fame and perks and narcissistic self-promotion, 0% for governance and policy. This is what happens when you have a runner-up beauty queen who was also denied the next rung on the sportscaster career path--I guess you try to find fame some other way, so you fluff and bluff your way through small-pond politics until you hit the big-time.

3. I thought she was lame.

She only sat there.

4. She didn't say one single funny thing on SNL. Not one.

Unfortunately, as a politician, she's hysterical.
