Sarah Palin Asking for Over $1 Million Per Episode for Reality Show.
New York Magazine ^ | March 19, 2010 | Josh Duboff

The project, which is tentatively titled Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Palin is asking for $1 million to $1.5 million per episode.

Sarah Palin is following a trajectory more Kardashian than politician, demanding a big paycheck in her quest for reality-TV stardom. After shopping her “TV docudrama” to major broadcast and cable networks, two channels — A&E and Discovery — have expressed interest in the project, which is tentatively titled Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Palin is asking for $1 million to $1.5 million per episode, considered a “hefty amount for a first-year cable series.” The show — executive-produced by reality-television guru Marc Burnett — will feature the former governor touring her home state, completing activities such as visiting fishing boats or trekking to a gold mine. There had better be a caribou-hunting episode or else this really has no business calling itself a Sarah Palin Alaska show.

I can only conclude Sarah's dabbling in gollywood is in lieu of serious preparations for higher political office.

You're wrong. She's clearly following Reagan's roadmap to the White House, mile marker by mile marker. Check out "Death Valley Days." He did the same thing.

Is she or isn’t she.

The last time there was talk about a Sarah reality show, the consensus here was that it was just a liberal smear tactic.

I still think if she is considering a run for president, a reality show is a really bad idea. In fact, I think it’s a mistake even if she has no political aspiration.

IN OTHER WORDS, SARAH JUST PULLED THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER HER WORSHIPPERS. She did nothing of the sort. More wishful thinking from the PDS peanut gallery.

She doesn’t need to pack decades worth of Reagan’s showbiz career into a year or two in order to run for President. She needs to study up and form serious positions on international issues.

“she should be studying foreign affairs like crazy”

So she can be as qualified as BHO?

Nothing wrong with her asking. They’d be the ones stupid to pay her that amount. But they probably will and will probably make money on it.

She already has.

"WE WIN! THEY LOSE!"

How hard is that to understand?

Let me guess, you're another one of those guys who want an "intellectual" like Adlai Stevenson as your president.

And you want her as unqualified as BHO?

She’s got to get her wonk on if she’s going to persuade the moderates who are now doubting of her intellect and background for the job.

Kind of late in the game to be “studying up” and forming opinions.

Nothing wrong with trying to obtain financial security - you know: “In times like these....”

She just made seven or eight figures on her book, makes six figures per speech, and is milking Fox News for big bucks. I think her finances are secure.

simon cowell gets a hell of a lot more than that... and he is just an a**hole playing an a**hole on TV.

On one of the most popular shows on TV, don't forget that part. That's why he can get millions per episode.
