Palin on SNL
While surfing for something else, I ran across While surfing for something else, I ran across these clips on WNBC from Saturday Night Live. Sarah Palin's willingness to laugh at herself is admirable and takes the edge off the critics jabs. Sarah Palin's willingness to laugh at herself is admirable since it's not something all politicians possess in equal measure and takes the edge off the critics jabs.

As in many things, timing is EVERYTHING in politics, even when you're talking about humor. Bob Dole's most humanizing moment in 1996 was after his loss, when asked if the results hurt: "I slept like a baby: I woke up every two hours and cried." Similarly, the relatively short Michael Dukakis had his best moment at the Al Smith dinner, after (the first) Bush had essentially eclipsed him, when he said something close to the following: "Mr. Vice President, you always say that you want to help the little man. Mr. Bush, I AM that man."
