Catch parts of Palin Q & A

If you didn't get enough last night of ABC News anchorman Charles Gibson's interview with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the network has a cycle of coverage today worthy of a 24/7 cable news channel. Segments of the interview will be shown on Good Morning America, on at 7 a.m.; World News, which begins at 6:30 p.m.; and 20/20, which starts at 10 p.m.GOLDEN SATURDAY As hard as it might be to conceive of a TV event this weekend bigger than Olympics star Michael Phelps making his acting debut as host of NBC's Saturday Night Live, I suspect there might be even more anticipation as to if and how the comedy troupe will deal with GOP vice presidential candidate Palin. Will it satirize the newest political star? If so, who will play her? Tina Fey, an alumna of the show who produces and stars in the NBC's hit sitcom 30 Rock, seems like a natural because of her looks if nothing else.Between Phelps and the potential Palin factor, it should be one of the highest-rated season premieres in a long time for...

Not long after lambasting Obama's celebrity status, McCain has one ...

JsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? WASHINGTON — Just a month ago, the Republicans unveiled a curious attack ad aimed at Barack Obama's celebrity, snidely comparing him to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.The cult of celebrity, so the ad seemed to suggest, was something American voters should distrust since, after all, celebrities are vapid, shallow and possibly emotionally unhinged.And then came Sarah Palin.In the 16 days since Republican presidential nominee John McCain plucked the junior Alaska governor out of relative obscurity to be his running mate, the photogenic Palin has been everywhere - on the cover of glossy celebrity magazines, in a prime-time interview struggling to answer questions about her knowledge and experience, and on "Saturday Night Live" in the form of an eerily bang-on Tina Fey imitation.There's even an online Palin baby name generator - to be found at www.personal-space.com/palin/index.php, which spews out handles like Crank Widow Palin ...

Tina Fey As Sarah Palin On Saturday Night Live (SNL)

With some major media pieces today finally chronicalling the real Palin (stripped of symbolism and hype) and using concrete records and those stubborn factual realities, we will indeed soon discover that this fur-fleeced empress never did have any clothes. These GOP speeches to rabid consituents and McCain's (sad) tenancious, hand wringing, uncomfortable looking desperation and cling to me Sarah! So that actually means he as well is an now emperor with no clothes. 80% approval rating? Or would it be more apt to say 60% fear rating of being branded one of Palin's haters if you don't approve and word leaks out? Tina Fey rocks.
