Tina Fey’s impersonation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was comically accurate, visually anyway.

That’s Palin’s own assessment of the "Saturday Night Live" skit that featured comedienne Fey as John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate, with SNL regular Amy Poehler as Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

The Alaska governor and GOP vice-presidential candidate told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that she watched the "SNL" skit that opened the late-night show’s new season last Saturday.

PALIN: I watched with the volume all the way down and I thought it was hilarious, she was spot on.

HANNITY: Do you think you could play her one day?

PALIN: Oh absolutely. It was hilarious. Again, I didn’t hear a word she said, but the visual was spot on.

HANNITY: Has anyone ever said that before? There’s a similarity …

PALIN: They’ve been saying that for years up in Alaska. In fact, I dressed up as Tina Fey once for Halloween. We’ve been doing that before Tina Fey’s being doing that.

The FOX News interview was only the second that Palin has done in the three weeks since McCain put her on the GOP ticket.

In other Palin news, the AP reports that Republican strategist Karl Rove said Wednesday that McCain’s vice-presidential pick was a political choice and that excitement over Palin will subside. "Nothing lasts for 60-some odd days," Rove told the AP. "Will she be the center of attention in the remaining 48 days? No, but she came on in a very powerful way and has given a sense of urgency to the McCain campaign that’s pretty remarkable."

Rove said he had no qualms about her ability to lead.

A New York Times/CBS poll released Wednesday shows that 47 percent of McCain’s supporters described themselves as enthused about the Republican Party’s presidential ticket, almost twice what it was before the conventions, due, in part, to the Palin pick. But the poll also suggests that Palin’s selection has, to date, helped McCain only among Republican base voters; there was no evidence of significantly increased support for him among women in general. White women were evenly divided between McCain and Barack Obama; before the conventions, McCain led Obama among white women, 44 percent to 37 percent.
