Snowed In: Palin on Today: what to watch for

Now that, as was plastered all over the net today, pretty much anyone following the news in this country knows that Sarah Palin will be hosting the Today Show tomorrow, here are a few things I expect to see during the broadcast. (You might call this a drinking game, but as this is a morning show, I do not recommend drinking any adult beverages, especially if you are planning to leave for work after watching.)

Some mention of Katie Couric, who will be guest-hosting some other morning show at the same time.
Some mention of Tina Fey, who originated an infamous quote about Russia that many people think Sarah Palin said, and whose quote was incorrectly attributed to Governor Palin in a Politico article just today. Really?
Some mention of the four men still contending for the Republican nomination for President. And I'm sure Matt Lauer will ask some snide question to the effect of whether she is plotting to steal the nomination in an open convention.
The phrase "you betcha" will be spoken almost certainly by someone who is not Sarah Palin.
The word "rogue" will appear in the first five minutes of Governor Palin's appearance.
Trig and Tripp will both be mentioned multiple times...as they should be; Sarah Palin is a proud mother and grandmother.
And, of course, there will be some mention of President Obama. I wouldn't be surprised to hear some version of the phrase "failed policies".

Mostly, though, I think viewers will see a very easygoing Sarah Palin who does not match the caricature that has been imprinted on too many people's minds.

Now, here are a few things that you will not see, though they will undoubtedly happen:

A lot of people with nothing better to do will post innocuous things Sarah Palin says during the broadcast on Twitter and find some way, logical or not, to attack her for it.
People will complain that she was even allowed on "a real network". Bonus points if you find complaints referencing "Faux News", which is, as you know, the peak of originality for some of these haters.
I'm sure Ms. Couric will have something to say about Governor Palin. But I know I won't see it, as I have no desire to allow Ms. Couric's show into my home. I'll watch next week, when Robin Roberts is back. Maybe.
