Palin to guest on Colbert Report
You think the Super Bowl gets big ratings?

Sarah Palin tweets the tweet heard 'round the nest 20 minutes ago, confirming that she'll appear on Stephen Colbert's show in a pre-taped segment next month.

Getting ready to tape shout-out for our awesome US troops serving overseas! Will be on ‘Colbert Report’ next month, broadcast from Iraq…

Is there a possibility the segment gets leaked?

And oh, did you notice she's taping it from Iraq. National show + Huge Ratings + Iraq = (fill in the blank).

In Arthur Krystal's recent review of William Hazlitt, he describes the famous critic and essayist thusly:

Hazlitt's breezey, self-confident style gives the impression of a man secure enough to admit his own failings. Even when he regards himself in a quizzical light.... we chalk it up to literary brio. We don't for a moment believe that he's inept, or unattractive, or capable of behaving like a lunatic.
