The Jeremy Lin fever is contagious. Everyone from the average Joe to Kim Kardashian to President Barack Obama is starting to catch it, and now Sarah Palin has it too.
The former Alaska governer showed off her love for the New York Knicks pointguard when she posed with a bootleg Linsanity t-shirt outside of her Manhattan hotel, telling reporters she has caught on to the "Lin-sanity" craze.
"Got the Lin-sanity while we were here," said Palin waving the Jeremy Lin t-shirt to the cameras.
"What an American story, its great.
"Its uplifting, its positive, it unifies our country.
"You’re talking about kind of this underdog who's worked so hard and overcome alot, we're big fans of Lin."
Known for her conservative beliefs and strong Christian values, it's easy to see why Lin and Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow (both known to be devout Christians) would appeal to Palin.
When a TMZ reporter asked her, "Who would you rather?", she couldn't decide whether she preferred the 23-year-old Lin or the 24-year-old Tebow.
"I love 'em both, and they're so talented and so good in their own sports," she said.
Regardless of her choice, she probably wouldn't mind if she's called Pa-Lin.
