Governor Sarah Palin merely sat in her chair and put her hands in the air, which was cute and showed Palin to be a good sport, but it was Amy Poehler and four cast members who stole the show. Sarah Palin bowed out of performing the Sarah Palin rap herself on Saturday Night Live because she felt the lyrics were “too hardcore” and could negatively impact the [McCain/Palin campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughts-prayers-toilet-paper). Despite Poehler doing the rap instead of Tina Fey, it was a great and memorable SNL performance.
