Sarah Palin to turn her hand to making television documentaries

She may have failed to become America’s vice-president but Sarah Palin’s transformation into a successful public figure has taken a fresh twist, as she tries her hand as a television documentary maker...

Sources close to Mrs Palin yesterday denied initial reports that the putative idea was a reality series featuring her and her family. They said instead that it would be a documentary, which she would produce, about the people, wildlife and geography of the state of which she was governor until quitting abruptly in July last year...

HERETIC!!!!

[EveningStar]

I know of at least 3 reality shows already based in Alaska

Do you like them? Which ones are they?

[EveningStar]

I know! :)

[EveningStar]

Conservatives are not afraid of debate. They welcome it because they know it sharpens them for future debates.

[EveningStar]

My problem is with people who put politicians on a pedestal. I expect that from liberals. I am disappointed if it comes from our side.

Here's one:

Deadliest Catch

[EveningStar]

Oh, yeah. I’ve seen a couple episodes. Quite good. :)

Sarahbot? That’s your answer - you want to debate your slur?

[ansel12]

My memory of evening star is that she is a Romney/Rudy Giuliani, strongly anti social conservative, pro homosexual libertarian if that helps explain why she trolls against Governor Palin and other conservative subjects.

My problem is with people who put politicians on a pedestal.

Conservatives have problems with idiots who come on a conservative site mimicking the libs thus putting their words on a pedestal.

Go Sarah - keep exposing the unstable who can't handle having a woman in power - against true PATRIOTS.

Thanks. Another one for my list.

I can agree with you on the pedestal... not a fan. BUT... I don’t think it bodes well to discount and disparage a politician who has the potential to carry through the conservative message which positively benefits all. Just because some become a bit joyous and overzealous in their support, does not diminish the very POSITIVE effects - distributing the conservative message.
Maybe you should lighten up... just a bit. ; ~ )

IMHO, from what I've seen and heard over the past 18 months or so; most Americans know shockingly little about Alaska. When I lived in Canada's far north, I visited several times. The land is varied and awesome (in the literal sense of the word). The people are mostly the salt of the earth & far, far more sophisticated than the effete elites in the “lower 48” make them out to be.

There seems to be a nearly complete ignorance of Alaskan culture — or, more accurately, the cultures of the Alaskan peoples — amongst the self-proclaimed arbiters of culture festering in the urban jungles on the southern coasts.

It's not only a large territory; it's a very complex place to govern. As Governor, Palin had one of the most challenging jobs in the continent. She should have been treated with great respect — instead, the MSM and political and “cultural” elites mocked her at every turn. In so doing, they betrayed their ignorance, shallowness, and bigotry.

Documentaries done by the likes of Burnett would be immensely popular (for the visuals, and for the human interest). People would be sure learn valuable lessons from watching them.

Deadliest Catch is pretty cool and the Ice Road Truckers (when they had a blond young hottie driving last year)was good too

the other is about the Alaskan Highway Patrol(which I haven’t seen).. there might even be another show from up there.. Todd Palin could be a star on History or Travel Channel if they followed him salmon fishing, hunting big game, snowmachine racing and flying supplies around Alaska in his float plane

[FreeStateYank]

Perfect tie-in with the new tourism bill that was passed. Perhaps after AK, she’ll do the other 49 states!

EveningStar’s self description on FR offers clues:
I’m a conservative libertarian Republican. I’m also a Zionist. My interests include, but are not limited to, classical music, computing, politics, reading, South Park, food and spirits, science fiction, Judaism, and professional wrestling. I’m an expert in exactly none of these areas.
Prototype of a Libertarian Republican aka CPAC Conservative aka RuPaulian?

To 31 - You people keep lists? Why am I not surprised.
Do you children dress yourselves in the morn, or does mommy help you?

[MadAboutPalin]

Bet Palin could teach Burnett a thing or two about making documentaries. Poor chap’s been stuck on reality shows, so far. Learn from mama.

I keep a list. I use it to avoid being slimed by the association with posters who exhibit clear signs of derangement, in one form or another. Usually, this derangement stems from the listees inability to understand why real conservatives would admire Sarah Palin, instead of kooks like Ron Paul or empty suits like Mitt Romney. They are also clearly irrational, emotional and childish like all liberals.

[Friendofgeorge]

Did Sarah ever refer to this as a reality show?
