61. She would get slaughtered on either KO or Maddow
But it would be fun to watch.

3. Barack Obama

He'd smile and laugh and she'd fume and steam doncha know.

4. Moyers... He wouldn't embarrass her though
She'd embarrass herself.. like she has from the first moment she opened her mouth in public.

68. You'd need the life squad standing by for that one.
or a reservation for a rubber room for Palin. Cuz if Whoopie ever got hold of her, Palin would disintegrate into a flaming temper tantrum so big you'd need a straight jacket and thorazine to calm her down.

15. I have three and all come from MSNBC. Matthews, Maddow, Olberman.
Matthews can be down right tyrannical and destructive to a guest. Only problem is that he's also easily brought to heel.

Maddow wouldn't get a reprimand and would speak in a language over her head and would be the one newscaster that Palin might speak too on MSNBC because she's female.

Olberman would never be chosen but it's a dream none-the-less.

24. Colbert, his verbal judo would snap her neck
Her smug comebacks would fall like stones in a well. The inside joke of her nomination is custom made for the Report audience.

Maybe he could get her to sing a duet, maybe 'Mockingbird' ala JT/CS.

28. I was pretty disgusted when they chose "Charlie"
But now I think he's doing a bang up job! Although it'd be a hoot to see someone like Rachel interview her, there is a certain pleasure in seeing her fail so cosmically with someone "fair and moderate" like Gibson.

Randi spent over an hour on her show the day after the Repuke Convention debunking almost every point from Palin's speech, using specific sources and quotes as always.

36. Oprah Winfrey;
I'm not part of her following, but after she disemboweled that poor schmuck who peddled his novel as an autobiography, I can't help but think this would pretty much end Mooselini on the spot.

Someone asked this same question earlier, but that was more than 48 hours ago.

Same reasons: Paxo can ask the same question many times...

Tony Blair's scared of John Humphreys.

54. Chris Mathews is totally capable of pushing hard. But, could he be trusted..
One never knows with Tweety. Thom Hartman could lose her in the first breath, but he's so darned polite. Mike Malloy or Randi Rhodes would probably make her cry, which might be interesting. I guess I'd prefer to see Barbara Walters take her to the woodshed.
