Queen Latifah Set to Grill Sarah Palin

Posted Oct 3rd 2008 12:29PM by TMZ Staff

Well-placed sources tell TMZ Queen Latifah is getting in the middle of the Sarah Palin/Joe Biden VP debate by portraying last night's moderator, PBS journalist Gwen Ifill, on "SNL" this week.

For the third time this season, we're told Tina Fey will be back, hysterically not answering questions as Palin. You betcha! No word yet on who has been tapped to play Biden.

Thanks to Latifah -- and since "SNL" has no female African-American cast member -- the world is saved from seeing Amy Poehler in black face.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS I AM WHITE AND I WILL BE VOTING FOR MCAIN BUT NOT FOR THE RACE BECAUSE HE IS A WAR HERO AND SOMEONE I FEEL CAN BENEFIT THIS COUNTRY. OBAMA SCARES ME ANYONE WHO ROSE IN THE RANKS THAT FAST STRIKES ME AS ODD. I WILL SAY THIS HAD COLIN POWELL RAN I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HIM IN A SECOND.
