  CHECK OUT PALIN RAPPING ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
  

  As if crossing paths with Tina Fey wasn't enough, Sarah Palin stuck around for a second turn on "Saturday Night Live" last night.

  After appearing in the opening sketch (click on the Read more line below to see that video), the GOP vice presidential candidate was introduced as the featured guest during the "Weekend Update" segment.

  But, she told anchors Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler, there was a problem: "I'm not going to do the piece that we rehearsed," she said.

  "You were so good at it!" Meyers protested.

  But Palin stood firm. "My gut is telling me it might be a bad idea for the campaign,"  she said. "I think it might just cross the line."

  So Poehler stepped in to perform a rap song about Palin and her home state of Alaska, complete with dancing Eskimos, a snow-machine-riding First Dude and a moose that ends up in the family freezer — with frequent cuts to the governor grooving to the beat ("All the mav'ricks in the house, put your hands up!").

  Afterward, Meyers told Palin: "I think you made the right decision not to do it."

  "You betcha," Palin replied.
