It turns out that it's not just us who miss Sarah Palin's presence on the national stage. She's reportedly fielding interview requests from Oprah, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Barbara Walters and George Stephanopoulos, in addition to calls from talent agents. So far, she's got 800 requests for appearances (just through 2009) and a total of 200 media interview requests. So if you were worried she'd just go back to Alaska and work out that budget crisis, worry no more: She'll be back quicker than Alaska's endangered polar bears. [Associated Press]
