‘True Blood’ Season 7: HBO Confirms Sarah Palin Was Approached To Appear In Final Season
International Business Times ^ | July 25, 2014 | Amanda Remling

Sarah Palin was almost able to see Bon Temps from her house. Talking Points Memo was able to confirm that the former governor of Alaska and Republican vice presidential nominee was approached to appear in the seventh and final season of “True Blood,” just as Palin had mentioned earlier in the week.

“The brilliant minds of ‘True Blood’ were brazen enough to ask me to do a cameo on their show, apparently so they could insult a conservative woman in person instead of just all conservative women in general,” Sarah Palin told Breitbart News. “Their offer wasn’t presented in any negative way, perhaps to benefit from a surprise factor after the guest appearance. I turned them down anyway.”

HBO confirmed to Talking Points Memo that “Sarah Palin was one of several Republican figures brought up in discussion regarding episode 5 of ‘True Blood.’”

“Casting directors for the show reached out to Ms. Palin’s representative but did not receive a response,” said HBO spokeswoman Kelley Carville.

The episode in question brought Pam and Eric to a fake Republican gala for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, at the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas. Pam and Eric mocked the event -- with Pam even saying that she was dressed like a “Republic***.”

Pam and Eric had been searching for Sarah Newlin, who was at the event to seek aid from her parents. With the Yakuza after her due to her involvement with Hep-V, Newlin was hoping that her mother could get her help from someone powerful – like Laura Bush. But Newlin’s mom informed her that Laura Bush stopped taking her calls as soon as her involvement with Governor Burrell and Hep-V came out in Bill’s tell-all book. Things took a grizzly turn at the gala when the Yakuza arrived and went on a shooting spree while searching for Sarah Newlin.

Ted Cruz responded to his reference in “True Blood” shortly after episode 5 aired.

“Of all the places I never thought to be mentioned, HBO’s ‘True Blood’ vampire show would have to be near the top of the list,” Cruz posted in a Facebook message. “Sunday night, they aired a misogynist and profanity-ridden episode where Texas Republicans are murdered attending a ‘Ted Cruz fundraiser.' Well, I’m sorry to have lost the vampire vote, but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends …”

Ted Cruz posted a message on Facebook regarding his mention in episode 5 of "True Blood."

Carville told Talking Points that “True Blood” did not offer Palin the cameo to offend her.

“Had Sarah Palin come on the show, she would have been treated with the same level of dignity and respect all of the show’s actors are and would have been privy to the script in advance of filming,” Carville said.

Americans love raunchy politics, and if they keep trying this on Cruz it will backfire on the Rats.

I don’t care what anyone says, she is *the* hottest woman on the planet. She looks like Cindy Crawford dressed as a school teacher *and* she’s conservative AND she has absolutely no fear of liberals. PLEASE! PLEASE! Absolute perfection!

That’s because she’s a beautiful conservative. Libtards are ‘et up’ with jealousy. She reminds them of the girl in HS they never could be or could ask out on a date. They’re pathetic.

That's what it is, she represents freedom to them, something they don't have the guts to embrace so they attack ..Just think of the crap she goes through from the left, can you imagine? And she keeps coming back. She isn't the kind who gets insulted like this Kenyan sc*mbag in the WH who freaks out anytime someone comments on his ears ..

The best part:

Think about that HBO. This September I will finally be cutting the cord with directtv. The economics in the age of the internet are just not there. HBO was always very low on my list. Heck, when it was free I did not watch it. They had a chance to save themselves with a cafeteria format. Let them choke on their greed.

In the age of the internet, HBO is just another website like DU. I mean that.

She has joy from her faith and that shines from within. My sister is the same way. Beautiful inside and out. That is, to lefties, like shining a cross to a vampire. They are so full of rage and hate, and have never advanced (emotionally) from adolescence. It’s like their growth is stunted.

I have not changed my tagline since a certain radio personality repeated "Liberalism is a mental disorder." My tagline was first. Who cares? I guess it is flattery. That is when I stopped listening.

I mean what I say with "Liberate America from the Occupation Media." We didn't vote for them. Economically they should not be able to continue. They do not represent the opinion of the electorate. How do they still continue? I hate to use the word corporatism, because it was co-opted by them. That is what it is words that are synonymous with fascism. We don't want them. We don't need them. They are out to enslave us. Why would we continue to watch them? JMHO. I am fired up tonight (IAFUT). :-)

Does anyone on the planet (including Kelley Carville) believe that Sarah Palin would knowingly appear on a television show that had a script containing the word "Republic**t"? OF COURSE the script would be hidden from her. The entire point of having Sarah Palin on the show would be to embarrass her.

Kelley Carville, you are a lying sack of excrement.

Read the books. Liked them. HBO’s version diverged from the book storyline after the first season. This is Allan Ball’s warped view of morality. His plaything.
