Lorne Michaels is not a Pin Head

Bill O'Reilly does his "Pin head or Patriot" spot everynight on his show The O'Reilly Factor, and sometimes the most unlikely individuals are cited as Patriots. Entertainment Weekly recently interviewed Lorne Michaels of SNL fame about the Sarah Palin appearance last weekend. You have to have been living under a rock not to know how SNL feels about the McCain-Palin ticket, so it was interesting to find this tucked into the middle of the interview with EW.

EW:What do you think Palin gained from her
appearance?
LM: I think Palin will continue to be underestimated for a while. I watched the way she connected with people, and she's powerful. Her politics aren't my politics. But you can see that she's a very powerful, very disciplined, incredibly gracious woman. This was her first time out and she's had a huge impact. People connect to her.

And for this gracious comment, Lorne Michaels, you are a Patriot!
