Perhaps to get the membership of the Sarah Palin Adoration Society outside of their closed echo chamber?
Perhaps to show that if Sarah Palin, in return for $1 million per episode, devotes her energies to starring in reality TV shows with trash tabloid fodder like Kate Gosselin, then Sarah Palin herself will be treated like trash tabloid fodder too.
Perhaps to get the Sarah Palin Adoration Society to see how why most American voters do not think Sarah Palin is a serious option for the Oval Office?
Perhaphs to get the Sarah Palin Adoration Society to see themselves as the majority of other American voters see them?
O would some Power the gift to give us
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would from many a blunder free us ..... Robert Burns
I would have rathered that she spent the last two years palling around with world leaders, instead of this endless celebrity show.
(btw, I am not discounting her accomplishments in the last election)
“I know you are aware that that her definition of being a feminist is completely different the members of NOW. “
She still supports Title 9 and other feminist legislation:
“Now I was a product of Title IX, where legislation allowed that equal opportunity,’’ she said. “Now if we have to still keep going down that road to create more legislation to get with it in the 21st century to make sure that women do have equality, especially in the workplace, then we’re there.”
Um, you are aware that the Palin family was being trashed in the tabloids before the presidential elections in 2008, right? Surely you remember such gems as “Sarah Palin is not really Trig’s mother, she’s his grandmother”, among others, right? It’s not like all of a sudden after this show aired, that the tabloids said “Hey, I guess now we can finally criticize her!”
I can only say that I think that Sarah Palin is doing this for a few reasons: as Bristol said “Mom, they’re going to make fun of us anyway, and I want to dance”. No matter what Sarah did, she was going to be mocked. So why not do this show. It earns her cash, which she needs. She had to defend herself from countless frivolous lawsuits while she was in office, and I seem to remember that her legal bills were into the millions range. Also, this is the best way to break out of the media echo chamber. Before this show, the first thing that came to mind for the average man on the street (and these clueless idiots vote) when you said “What do you know about Sarah Palin?”, you would most likely hear this “She thinks she can see Russia from her house!” Even though it was Tina Fey and not Sarah who had said it. this show is the best option that she had to break that misconception.
I’m not sure which Republican candidate you support, nor do I really care, as I am not sure that you are a conservative anyway, mainly because most conservatives don’t actively try to sound like Maureen Dowd.
Who cares what a trolling BarbourBOT and RomneyBOT
and paid GOP backstabber, like yourself, wants.
You are a manipulator for RINO losers.
Like your post, especially the reference to Maureen Dowd.
LOL! Duh, who here wouldn’t want a man like Todd?
Not me. I want a girl like Sarah.
Uh, yeah...that's what I said. Yep, sure did.
Can you do me a favor, though and find where I said anything like that? I seem to have gotten rather forgetful these days. LOL
I don't belong to any "adoration society" (look up my posting history if you don't believe me); in fact, I disdain worshipful behavior towards any human beings, particularly politicians.
But I'm pretty good at detecting a concern troll when I smell one.
LOL. You know what I meant.
Great article. I don’t have time to post it.
TLC and why Sarah Palin will never be president
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/zontv/2010/12/sarah_palin_kate_gosselin_tlc.html
“You are now a pop culture freak thanks to lowering yourself to the level of Kate Gosselin. Three million carnivalgoers enter the TLC tent to look at you each Sunday night. But when it comes time to elect a president in two years, it won’t be someone from the sideshow tent who gets their votes, believe me.”
Romney Sucks
Agreed. And staying on the topic of this thread.... I don’t think even Kate Gosselin would take him.
I’ll post the article, but you need to re-read it closely.
The author is a wuss and a nasty creep.
Why is this news? I have had female friends say they were jealous of me, because they wish they had a husband like mine. Didn’t mean they were going to try to whisk him away.
This is the celebrity/tabloid/reality-show gossip media attention that Sarah Palin thinks is needed to reach the people who will propel her to the White House. (or maybe simply the celebrity attention she craves for other reasons)
