A year has passed and nothing has changed.....still doesn't know what's happening. Back Home in Alaska, Palin Finds Cold Comfort Scrutiny Has Been Intense Since Election By Michael Leahy Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, February 18, 2009 JUNEAU, Alaska -- A couple of weeks before the Alaska legislature began this year's session, a bipartisan group of state senators on a retreat a few hours from here invited Gov. Sarah Palin to join them. Accompanied by a retinue of advisers, she took a seat at one end of a conference table and listened passively as Gary Stevens, the president of the Alaska Senate, a former college history professor and a low-key Republican with a reputation for congeniality, expressed delight at her presence. Would the governor, a smiling Stevens asked, like to share some of her plans and proposals for the coming legislative session? Palin looked around the room and paused, according to several senators present. "I feel like you guys are always trying to put me on the spot," she said finally, as the room became silent. Gone was the self-assurance that Alaska had come to know in its young Republican governor, well before her life and career were transformed by Sen. John McCain's selection of her as his vice presidential running mate. "She looked ill at ease, more defensive than we've been accustomed to seeing her," said one legislator who was there and spoke on the condition of anonymity because he said he might need to work with Palin. A number of factors seem to have contributed to the bumpy homecoming: a residual anger among Democrats for the attack-dog role Palin assumed in the McCain campaign, lingering resentment from Republicans for the part she may have played in McCain's defeat, and a suspicion crossing party lines that the concerns of Alaska, at a time of economic crisis, will now be secondary to her future in national politics. read more........... washingtonpost.com

Jim, > Who is Tina Fey without Sarah Palin? She was pretty good even before her Palin impression. In fact, when I first saw Sarah Palin back in 2008, I thought, "Wow, she looks a lot like Tina Fey." Tenchusatsu
