Sarah Palin's appearance on Saturday Night Live...

Just like the John McCain deke out & return re: Late Night w/ David Letterman:

Ploy...   PLOY...    PA-LOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Palin contacted SNL and requested to be on the show. It was no surprise. Everyone knew she would be. Consequently, the ratings that night jumped through the roof (as with Letterman). "Ooooooh! What's she gonna say and do to Tina Fey? Can't miss that!"

Along with McCain's hyped flowers&candy Ike-loves-Tina routine on The Late Show, the voting public gets to see the running mates joke around with comedians a few weeks before the election. "Well, that was almost human. Look, they know how to laugh at themselves. Think I'll vote for them after all."

The boring old Democrats could learn a thing or two from the media savvy Republicans... for all the right wing's ad nauseum complaints about the "Liberal controlled media".
