Did a SNL appearance hurt Palin?

Yes it did and in a very negative way. It highlighted many of the things the American people are feeling toward her. She came across as unintelligent, aloof, and childish. It was not of her doing, for she had to read the script that was prepared for her. It did, however, add to the stigma that she is just another pretty face. The part where she raised and pumped her hands in the air to rap music was the icing on the cake for many. Even though it was just a joke, she came across as being someone too incompetent as a leader in our time of crisis. In all fairness to her, she got a bad deal. SNL knew ahead of time that they would have her looking like an idiot. Hillary's appearance did not alter her true character, for she did not do anything out of the norm. I am not a Palin subscriber, but she was set up. My heart goes out to her, for it was not fair to her.
