Surowiecki Nails Palin Future

From Jim Surowiecki at the New Yorker:
"...if McCain lost, Palin’s future would not be in electoral politics, but rather in television, doing something similar to what Sean Hannity does. In the wake of the Katie Couric interview, and Palin’s myriad other tongue-tied appearances, that seemed improbable to me. But Palin’s S.N.L. appearance, short as it was, made me see what my friend had been talking about. I thought she was very good on the show, very winning, and above all remarkably comfortable on the set. Combine that with her apparent appeal to male viewers, the edge of meanness she’s displayed in many of her speeches, and her willingness to remain relentlessly on the attack, and it seems like you have the makings of a conservative television star."
