Gov. Sarah Palin persecuted herself by appearing with Tina Fey on "Saturday Night Live." Her credibility dropped tremendously and she started appearing as a joke after that appearance. Comedians have always imitated and ridiculed political figures, but her "bopping" to a rap song on "SNL Weekend Update" raised the question. Was she serious about the campaign or was it all just a publicity stunt to make the Republicans more "likable"?
Her connecting herself with Tina Fey because of their physical similarities and appearing on "SNL" was her own downfall.
