Wow. This audience loves her and only grows to love her more as the interview rolls on. About ten minutes in she shows more guts than any politician maybe ever by agreeing to make her stand up debut … on The Tonight Show … in front of a Los Angeles audience. What poise.
If Sarah Palin can win over this audience in this way in one of the bluest regions of the country, if I were Barbara Boxer I’d be pretty worried right now.
Something’s in the air.
Kudos as always to Jay Leno for being the consummate gentlemen. During the interview he’s curious, respectful, let’s her talk, and just probing enough for this kind of setting. Imagine David Letterman in this situation. With one eye on impressing his fellow Manhattan Elites, he’d have been a nauseating mixture of lecherous and cruel. Jon Stewart would’ve made a lot of faces, Bill Maher’s head would’ve exploded, and Stephen Colbert would’ve made fun of Trig.
If Leno thought the Beautiful People were out to get him before, his respectful treatment of Sarah Palin should forever seal his fate as The Outsider. He must have missed the Hollywood Memo declaring that its child-raping directors you make look good, not self-made governors.
UPDATE: Ed Morrisey makes a keen observation:
The Right Scoop captured last night’s canny performance from Sarah Palin on Jay Leno’s renewed Tonight Show. How canny? She manages to tie her treatment by the media to the mostly unfair treatment Leno himself got from the entertainment media, a good way to gain the audience’s sympathy.
Yup. Just keep underestimating our Sarah.

:’) Thanks This Just In.
I’m glad she is getting the opportunity for the rest of America, those that watch the LSM, to see for themselves that she is NOT what they portrayed her to be during the campaign. Go Sarah!
Bump for later.
Whats with no wedding ring on Sarah???
Perhaps California is not-so-blue as we might think these days. Maybe they are getting their light-bulb moment. No one said anything about Sarah having an effect on the CA race, just making an observation that perhaps CA is a bit more receptive to “red” than we thought.
Sometimes?
How Jeffersonian of you!
Welcome to FR
Wait, what?
He sent the marines to the shores of Tripoli without congressional approval.. /sarc
By the way, the AGIA begins its “open season” in April, accepting bids for commitments on slots on Palin’s Trans-Canada natural gas pipline. This is the key step in getting the largest construction project in North American history off the ground (....or, in the ground).
Well I certainly don’t give a lot of my time to thinking about that repulsive little troll known as Bill Maher, I do occasionally wonder if he’s bitter because he’s ugly, or if it’s his very bitterness that makes him ugly.
I’D PAY TO SEE THAT MYSELF.
Surely you don't mean Old Dick Hand?
Boy you sure missed the point on that one
I would like to suggest you read the constitution, the part about free speech. On second thought, you should read the whole thing and try to understand that censoring someone's speech is not in the interest of freedom. As you said, this is the Robinson's site and they can either allow or disallow whatever they want. Hopefully they won't start barring people simply because they reference a quote from a liberal site.
Yep, you snagged a troll. Good job.
Or maybe they are just attempting to serve their Lord.
Quite right on all points. In the fresh light of a new day, my posting last night concerning HillBuzz was, at best, a cranky, ham-fisted ``get off my lawn!'' moment.
My fault is that I reacted viscerally and emotionally both to the image of Hillary Clinton and to the ``Boystown'' link over there and should have counted to 10 (or maybe 20) before hitting the ``Post'' button. Like many here, I found the article at HillBuzz about George Bush in the wake of the Ft. Hood terrorist attack deeply moving. I think that is more the measure of those people and I should have remembered that.
In the lively exchange of ideas and opinions here on FR (which I've used as a source of news since 9/11/2001, albeit only a recent poster), disallowing certain sources to be cited would make this venue little more than an echo chamber.
