CBS spent so much time on Michael Jackson's memorial that it had none left for a follow-up on Sarah Palin. ABC's Kate Snow and NBC's Andrea Mitchell followed the soon-to-be-former Alaska Governor to Bristol Bay where she joined her husband's fishing. NBC's Mitchell told us it was "the peak of the salmon run." ABC's Snow showed us the fishy specks of blood and guts on Palin's waders and T-shirt. Palin boasted to Mitchell about the "the fish slime and the dirt under the fingernails." Palin dropped her g's as she explained to Snow how to catch the salmon: "We are chasin' the tide. It is ebbin' and flowin' of course." Mitchell called it a "giant photo opportunity." "The photo shoot is over," Palin told Snow. "Only kiddin'."
ABC's Snow extracted one tidbit from Palin about the legal fees she is running up by defending herself against ethics complaints: "The adversaries would love to see us put on a path of personal bankruptcy so we could not afford to run." The word run intrigued the correspondent: "Was that a hint that she is planning a run for President in 2012?" "Do not know what the future holds. I am not gonna shut any door."
