Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may prefer the vanilla mocha back at the Mocha Moose in Wasilla -- but she got her caffeine fix on with a Diet Coke during the White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend festivities. At the height of MSNBC's after-party at the Italian Embassy just after midnight- Palin's hostess Greta Van Susteran ran off to find the guest bartender, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, and procure the needed caffeiniated beverage.

Surely Maddow was happy to oblige, after the former vice presidential nominee said how much she "admires" the journalist.

"Your work ethic shines," she said to the MSNBC anchor.

An interesting admiration, to be sure. Earlier, while on the red carpet with her husband, Todd, Palin named Van Susteran as her choice for today's most influential journalist.
