Palin's Celebrity Status Still on the Rise

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Nov. 22) - Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor. Oprah wants her. So do Letterman and Leno. The failed Republican vice presidential candidate crunched state budget numbers this past week in her 17th-floor office as tumbling oil prices hit Alaska's revenues. Her staff, meanwhile, fielded television requests seeking the 44-year-old Palin for late-night banter and Sunday morning Washington policy. Agents from the William Morris Agency and elsewhere, have come knocking. There even has been an offer to host a TV show. "Tomorrow, Governor Palin could do an interview with any news media on the planet," said her spokesman, Bill McAllister. "Tomorrow, she could probably sign any one of a dozen book deals. She could start talking to people about a documentary or a movie on her life. That's the level we are at here."

The article puts celebrity above character and conservative values.

Of course the radical left will try to “celebritize” her — to try and dilute her true leadership and pro-American attitude and ethics.

The bane of the far left. Anything good for America is bad for the socialists.

I think the Governor should choose her venues carefully. She now knows which networks and personalities won’t give her a fair shake.

I hope Sarah tells the Oprah where to go and how often. She didn’t want Sarah before the selection and now she does!!!Screw the Oprah.

I don’t think they have ever treated an elected Governor so poorly. They were more kind to George Wallace.

“Anything good for America is bad for the socialists.”

How about “Any thing good and American is bad to the solcialist.”?

Maybe a wait and let the tension build for her return.

Until Sarah makes it clear that she will not challenge the 0ne in ‘12, the msm will be always be looking for the next turkeygate. The best things she can do is say that she is going to concentrate on the pipeline, governmental reform etc. for the next 6 years; raise massive funds for gubernatorial and congressional races and carefully stage big media events. Reading Hayek,et al. wouldn’t hurt either.

Let Newt or Romney be the sacrificial lamb in ‘12.

Then, the moment many of us will be waiting for: 1/20/17 -the Inauguration of Sarah Louise Heath Palin as the 45th POTUS.

Thats a long way. And the Party has to regroup and get rid of a lot of people offended by a beautiful woman in a bath robe.

Oprah only wants her to attempt to belittle her now. Same with Letterman and the rest of the scum suckers. Let them twist in the wind.

They did not want her before the election and they did all they could to insure her loss, so now it should be her loss. Do not contribute to their profits by patronizing them.

Oprah wants her.

Sarah wasn't good enough for her during the Presidential election process so I guess she only wants Sarah on her show in order to boost her ratings.

she needs to strike a fine balance between staying in the spotlight for 2012 and not getting over-exposed. Alaska isn’t exactly in the limelight of the country, so I do think she needs to make some appearances, but she needs to be very careful and selective with who she chooses, otherwise the MSM will try to destroy her if she gives them an opening. I think a book would be the best place to start, as she could also lay out a vision for 2012.

whatever it takes for sarah to get her message across.
obama thinks his carefully scripted campaign is over. Imagine having him have to deal with critique by an unrestrained Palin over the next 4 years?

Thanks,I think the Oprah desperately needs Sarah now to pick up the viewers she lost when she refused to put her on.

In addition her numbers for that show would probably be record setting.

It's a win/win for the Oprah. If Sarah comes on she plays into the hands of the left and if she doesn't the O can say she made the offer. Either way she will get enormous DBM support as always.

...Wasn’t sure how I felt about her, but, I hope she keeps her dignity and integrity and turns them all down...
