I think Betty is doing the Easter egg gag from 'The Proposal'.

Bill Clinton and Prince may have been at last night's Time 100 gala, but the most buzzed-about guest by far was Sarah Palin (who, by the way, practically sat on her hands after Clinton gave a speech). Photographers, fans, and, yes, reporters like us swarmed her from the second she walked in the room with husband Todd and her 9-year-old daughter Piper. Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann practically jumped her for a photo op — though, granted, they did the same to Betty White.
Ten minutes of complete engulfment later, Piper was clinging to her mother, repeatedly asking if they could "leave already." Todd, for his part, was standing far away, obediently letting Sarah have the spotlight and plotting to help Piper "meet Taylor Swift; that's the No. 1 priority, to make Piper happy."
Sarah, on the other hand, was happy to be in a room with so many reporters — particularly Time's Joe Klein, of whom she is a fan — so she could set the record straight. "I did talk to a couple of reporters already and said that a bunch of stuff that they write is bogus, but we had a great conversation about it and we agreed to disagree on a lot of things," she said. "One thing we can all agree on, though, is how much we respect and want to protect the freedom of the press and we have that in common, so at the end of the day, I think as long as we’re protecting that and not abusing the right — we have to be writing truth — then we’ll get along just fine tonight."
Particularly, she wanted to clear up "the bogus reports about how much money I supposedly make," she said. "I have a business. I run a business with my speaker’s fee."
As if to drive home the point, Palin reiterated her great respect for journalism in her public "toast" to those who influence her, a Time 100 dinner tradition. "I want to make a toast to all at this press event who agree with Thomas Jefferson, who said that our liberty depends on the freedom of the press," she said. "So I want to lift a glass to those who defend that freedom. Our finest, the men and women in uniform who defend that freedom, our Constitution, and our exceptional way of life in America."
As she left the dinner, after watching a performance by Prince, Palin said she'd had a lovely time, both at the dinner and in New York. "Every time I’m here I have to go running in Central Park," she said. "I ran around an hour; I think I ran around the park a couple of times!" Todd told us he'd accompanied her, but could not recall how far Sarah had run in an hour. "You'll have to ask her," he said. "She jogs at a pretty good pace, so I guess a few miles." Who's faster, of the two? "It's not about being fastest. It's about who has the energy and can go the distance," said Todd, patiently standing to the side and watching Sarah, as usual. "One mile is good enough for me."
Don’t mess with the ‘Cuda.
((((((Palin Ping)))))
I felt a tingle just reading that.
BTM, she’ll get in their face day and night without fear or favour unlike others....
“...though, granted, they did the same to Betty White.”
Don’t be dissing Betty, she is great. Time to watch some Match Game.
Sounds like Sarah to me!
up your leg?
I like what I read of her life philosophy. Her life is one I can identify with, and I expect tens of millions of Americans can identify with. She is one of "us" -- as in, she is outside of the "elite."
You're kidding me. I haven't heard this. They are giving Palin a hard time about how much she makes with Bill Clinton and Osama out there earning millions?

LOL. Love the pics!
I hope the dreadful slimebag, Larry King chokes when he sees them.
betty couldn’t keep her hands of Sarah’s abs...
not that i could... they look perfect
There has to be some gag going since Sarah’s hands are closed the way they are. I’m sure Betty had some fun with her. Funny, too, since Betty called Sarah a ‘crazy b!tch’ on Craig Ferguson a few years ago. HA! They’re both crazy b!tches. ;)
Sarah Palin knows how to be your next-door-neighbor, the average American — she can talk to the press without compromising herself and do well in their court — she can run a business and succeed — and she can run a country and do very well, and uphold our values while she’s at it.
She can do all of it without missing a beat ... :-)
Who's faster, of the two?
"It's not about being fastest. It's about who has the energy and can go the distance," said Todd, patiently standing to the side and watching Sarah, as usual. "One mile is good enough for me."
*unrelated picture*
WOW......You haven’t heard?
The MSM have been digging and digging into her finances and saying she isn’t a common person anymore because of her making money....the template is the she is greedy and is fooling her supporters by making it look like she wants to run for Prez but really is milking them for money....even some FR trolls have been nudging around on that subject....
...Joe Klein, of whom she is a fan....
