I agree with Charles that SNL hasn’t been funny in so long it shouldn’t matter, but I think Sarah turned the tables on them. In their narrow, New-York liberal way they think they’re mocking her. But they end up on the business end of her charm offensive.
And kudos to Alec Baldwin for playing along – to the point that he’s the one who comes off shallow.
Update:
Apparently Lorne Michaels agrees with me.
I think Palin will continue to be underestimated for a while. I watched the way she connected with people, and she’s powerful. Her politics aren’t my politics. But you can see that she’s a very powerful, very disciplined, incredibly gracious woman. This was her first time out and she’s had a huge impact. People connect to her.
