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.

Take a laxative. It should relieve the headache.
“Are you a troll?” Come on, is your quiver empty? You must have a better come back than the weak “troll” accusation.
“backhanded slam”. I see that I’ve struck a nerve. Pardon me whilst I chuckle. If you bothered to check my history you’ll discover that I could be described as a Palin “supporter”. Sarah Palin is the reason I voted for the Republican ticket.
So, put away the Drama Queen Award and get some rest. You wouldn’t be able to recognize a backhanded slam if it hit you in the face. Incidentally, in case you missed the nuance, my comment was not a “condescending” remark.
It’s a good thing you take yourself so seriously. After all, someone has to.
She's getting a divorce...didn't you get teh memo from The Alaska Report?
Or you could buy a copy of Going Rogue and read it.
Cheers!

It's a shame that they had to "handle" her in the previous election. She is a masterful tactician. I love the way she's going around the LSM and taking her case directly to the people.
Excellent!
I am from Colorado too. Sarah was incredible on Leno....she was funnier than Leno......LOL..Sarah just keeps getting better..........
She is a gift..............
