Palin does her Tina Fey impression

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin dominated the close of the two-day meeting of the Republican Governors Association in Miami on Thursday.

More than 20 TV cameras and dozens of reporters packed a room at the InterContinental Hotel Thursday morning for Palin’s first press conference as a national figure. While Palin has done a number of interviews both before and after her stint as John McCain’s running mate, this was her first official press conference.

But instead of the promised Palin event, she was joined by 12 fellow Republican governors and offered rote answers about working together with her fellow governors to revive the party.

Palin then spoke for more than 20 minutes to governors, lobbyists and staff. She began her speech with a funny bit about what she had been up to since her last RGA meeting in 2007.

“I had a baby. I did some traveling. I very briefly expanded my wardrobe. I made a few speeches. Met a few VIPs including those who really do impact society. Like Tina Fey,” she said.
