A year and a half ago, Sarah Palin walked across a stage and her image scrolled across my news site. She was the Republican candidate for vice president.

I was curious. I’d never heard of her and I didn’t even know how to pronounce her name until my J-200 professor said it was ‘Pay-lin,’ not ‘Paa-lin.’

Her clothes were catchy, she was new on the scene and she was more interesting than Joe Biden — or anyone else in the campaign. Soon, she was getting more media attention than her running mate.

And then came the jokes. Tina Fey did a perfect impression of her on “Saturday Night Live,” coming back for a special intro just to play her. But it wasn’t just SNL — as Palin said more stupid things, more people made fun of her.
