I watched the entire hour and I thought the team was extremely nice to her. And she was very funny and pleasant - caught reading a bunch of newspapers and taking over Matt’s office without his permission.
The only problem was that she kept her physical distance from the group when they were standing around. Ann Curry kept drawing her in by the arm. I wonder why? She did that with Donald Trump. Do Alaskans like their space or do we NYers smell bad?!
She was also great with Torie Spelling. Everyone seemed charmed by the Divine Sarah.
Can’t help thinking of the time that Rush said CBS tried to co-opt him by offering the guest spot on that sitcom with Markie Post.
Yes.
“do we NYers smell bad?!”
No, you stink.
I was away for vacation for 8 days, and I’m still catching up with all the news of the past week or so. How did this come to pass that Sarah Palin ends up guest hosting the Today show at the Nothing but Barack Channel? I’m sure Sarah will succeed at whatever she does (and of course I’m rooting for her), but.... NBC??
Because she's not a hypocrite?
Country people have a different idea of “personal space” than city people. Especially big city people.
This goes contrary to things like the desire to get everyone into a nice group for the camera shot.
C’mon Miss Marmelstein, it isn’t that. New Yorkers aren’t the touchy-feely type(subway gropers excluded). You know New Yorkers show politeness buy rushing so the new Yorker behind them can rush to where ever it is they’re rushing to!
Thanks for your review, for those of us who didn't get to see the whole show. I did catch a clip of the intro, and she seemed to handle the jabs very well.
The question about "personal space" was astute. People in the large eastern cities (and the left coast cities) tend to stand closer when speaking, than do people from the western states. Such cultural differences should be common knowledge to anyone who studied communications, and I suspect Curry's efforts were deliberately geared toward intimidation.
