Television producer Diane English has a plan in case Sarah Palin runs for president. In that event, she will attempt to bring back her hit series "Murphy Brown," which ran in the late 1980s and for most of the 1990s.
The idea, apparently, would be for a six-part miniseries in which Murphy, the fictitious acerbic, uber-liberal television host, would wage a campaign against Sarah Palin. Murphy Brown was played by Candice Bergen, who subsequently played Shirley Schmidt in "Boston Legal," essentially Murphy Brown as a lawyer.
It is not clear whether English is joking or in earnest. The fictional character Murphy got into a fight with the objectively real Vice President Dan Quayle when Quayle denounced a story line in which Murphy had a child out of wedlock. In a subsequent episode, Murphy denounced Quayle as a busy body in one of her fictional broadcasts.
Mind, one hopes that Diane English is in earnest and Murphy Brown, which personified everything that was unattractive about an aging, post-modern feminazi, does come back from the grave to have at Sarah Palin. Mind, despite my personal opinion of the show and its character, it did pull in the ratings in its heyday...

She must be one thousand times more dangerous to the Left than even her biggest admirer thinks she is.

Who cares. I won’t watch. Why because it is politically motivated in the most selfish way.

bring back her hit series "Murphy Brown," which ran in the late 1980s and for most of the 1990s. I thought the premise of Murphy Brown was that it's trivially obvious that American media is totally in the tank for the liberal cause.
What would be the point of a show that tried to explain that to us?

Have you seen that Lib Porn shit sandwich called ‘Harry’s Law’? I couldn’t help thinking as I watched the first episode, that it had been written for Roseann Barr or Rosie O’Donnell, and even *they* wouldn’t touch it with a 10’ pole.
