This weekend I was very excited to watch Saturday Night Live because I had heard that the Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was going to appear on the show. It was funny however I was expecting a little more. On two occasions she was supposed to actually do something (a character or a song) in a sketch, but right before the skit she would say, "I was going to but i decided against it for the good of my campaign." It was still funny watching Tina Fey do another impression of the Alaskan Governor, nicknamed Caribou Barbie, and Amy Poehler's rap was hilarious, nonetheless I felt a little short changed. I was looking forward to seeing such a composed individual be really goofy for once, but it never really happened. So I got to thinking; was she originally going to be very silly in these sketches and changed at the last minute or was it her intention all along to be somewhat serious? I guess that when you are running for office you can never be too serious.

I was also disappointed with Sarah Palin on SNL. I think the previous episodes created too much hype. Inevidably we were all let down by her performance. Though you can't blame her, she doesn't want to jepordize her chances just to make a couple of jokes.
