We have to give Lorne Michaels credit. He sets a superlative example of fairness. Although Michaels is a close friend of Senator McCain -- according to HuffPo's Fundrace, Lorne donated $2300 to the McCain campaign, none to Obama -- you couldn't tell it from SNL. Then there was the rumor began spreading around online that Sarah Palin might confront Tina Fey, who, we cannot fail to note, owns the Alaska Governor. But it has come to naught. From The TV Zone:

"No, no, NOOO!

"That is, no Sarah Sixpack Palin on this Thursday's special primetime edition. This, my friends, is the official word from no less an authority than Seth Meyers, whom I just got off the phone with.

"When I asked Seth about said rumors - that Palin might actually show to meet Tina Fey Palin face to face, thereby setting off a quantum reaction that would make the disappearing island in 'Lost' look like child's play, he said: 'Of those specific rumors, there's no truth. We do have an open door policy, but there's nothing specific yet, but our window of opportunity is before the election. We'd love to have McCain and Obama on again, too. Our doors are always open.'"
