Live from NY, it's the real Sarah Palin on 'SNL'
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah, meet W. And welcome to the intersection of politics and pop culture in the Lower 48.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is set to appear this weekend on "Saturday Night Live" with host Josh Brolin, the star of director Oliver Stone's new movie about President Bush, "W." It's a potentially provocative pairing given that "W." at times takes brutal aim at a Republican presidency that this year's nominee, John McCain, would like to avoid.

The Alaska governor has been the subject of a popular "SNL" parody featuring lookalike actress Tina Fey, a former "SNL" cast member who stars in the NBC sitcom "30 Rock."

Whether Palin and Fey will appear together Saturday was not announced. Jill Hazelbaker, a spokeswoman for McCain's campaign, confirmed Friday that Palin will appear but offered no details about what Palin will say or do.

Fey's appearances as Palin have drawn huge audiences to the longtime skit show and sealed its reputation as TV's hottest vehicle for political satire. In her first appearance, Fey as Palin declared as part of her foreign-policy credentials, "I can see Russia from my house!" Through video clips posted on the Internet, Fey's dead-on makeup and gestures as well as her sharp commentary on Palin's credentials live on well past a single Saturday night.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
