If you're one of the people who thinks that former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is dumb as a hunk of frozen tundra, and as dead-in-the-water as the last salmon she reeled in, time to remove the hook from your lip and get a grip.

Remember when everyone thought that President Obama was supposed to be the new media politician? Compared to Palin, President O looks, well, like a Twit-ter.

Damning with faint praise. Of course everyone in the MSM will pick up, and parrot this notion of how Sarah Palin is 'controlling' her image. Well at least she's doing it herself, rather than having a slobbering MSM do it for her, like they did for Obama.

Not bad for someone they consider beneath consideration for ANY high office.

Palin still has the idea in her head that to be “powerful” and taken “seriously” she must imitate a man and wear the pants in the family.

Hahahahahaha! Knee slappin' funny comment...

What? You don’t think women actually CLEAN fish? That would surprise my Mama, though, actually, it was shrimp and crabs she cleaned after she went shrimping with my Daddy. Daddy usually cleaned his own fish, but my sisters and I would join him from time to time; cutting off heads, gutting, cleaning and then filleting.

LOL. Methinks Todd doesn’t feel threatened one bit by Sarah’s outdoors nature. It’s probably one of the reasons he was attracted to her; shared interests.

He's also an award-winning Iditarod dog sledder, which is something that only the toughest men can handle.

It's not the Iditarod that Todd runs, it's the Irondog, and it's done on snow machines (snowmobiles). Both are tough races, though, requiring endurance, and persistence.

Let me see. Who would I pick to be stranded in the wilderness with if I hoped to survive the experience, Nobama or Palin?

Hmmmm, that's a tough call.

You poor creature, without Styrofoam package's you'd starve to death. I don't want cookies, I want steak, Whitefish from Superior, blacken tuna and you can keep your cookies.. And a nicely browned turkey for Thanksgiving. I have seen my meat chickens dropped into that cone, the death is quicker than what most people die of..

Gutting a 25 pound turkey is no picnic, but I have done that also....raised it from a day old and better than what you pick up in those bags in the store, and not soaked to water to add weight and pumped up with anti-biotics which is necessary when you have a couple hundred or more in one barn.

I have a feeling your just pulling our leg to get lots of replies, and you have....LOL

All I ask is for an honest vetting, not a coronatiom.

How much more 'vetting' of Sarah Palin do you need? I have no problem with legitimate questions being raised, and some of that has been done, but most of the MSM has engaged in character assassination, and silly stories like this snarky article.

“Mitt Romney may have the technical genitalia to be viewed as masculine, but his health”care” and soggy spine says otherwise. He’s a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread.”

Crusts removed.
But I’m also tired of masculinized freaks such as Janet Reno, Janet Napolitano and Rachel Maddow.

Men should act like men but women should act like women.

She's not more of a real man than Romney. She's more of a real woman than Kathleen Parker and all those bitchy whiny shrews who hate kids because they will make their expensive designer clothes dirty. She's a beautiful feminine woman and she knows it.

Poor, pitiful, pathetic comments throughout the thread from you (again). "Sarah Palin's Alaska" got a five out five star rating from the DOVE FOUNDATION, for uplifting entertainment for the whole family.

Sarah Palin wrote,

Happy to see that the Dove Foundation gave "Sarah Palin's Alaska" a five out of five rating as uplifting entertainment for the whole family.

That's what we were hoping for in making this series as our love letter to Alaska. We made a positive family-oriented outdoor adventure that show...cases America's Last Frontier with its vast reserves of natural resources which can contribute to our nation's security and prosperity.

Sarah Palin's Alaska SUNDAY NIGHTS  9/8c on TLC

Sarah Palin's AlaskaView Trailer

Review by Dick Rolfe, CEO

“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” is chock full of the stunning, majestic landscapes at Denali Park and Mount McKinley, the highest mountain peak in North America. Nature’s beauty can also present dangerous challenges like angry momma bears and 100 ft deep ice crevices that could swallow up a careless climber.

This rugged backdrop offers some insights as to how Sarah and Todd Palin acquired the skills to overcome some of their own personal adversities; from the birth of their special needs child, Trigg to the cruel jabs leveled at them by political opponents and media pundits.

Sarah Palin's AlaskaSarah is seen as a typical mother with all the challenges of a parent with children from ages 2 to 18. Her husband and help-mate, Todd is not shy or quiet as he is often portrayed. Calm and secure are more appropriate adjectives that describe him. His calming demeanor helps keep the family on task and on track.

The first episode shows Todd and Sarah taking their kids on a fishing trip where they meet up with a few brown bears, and tackling a glacier and rock face at the foot of Mt McKinley. “I wanted to be a rock star, not a rock climber.”

This series will give the public a true-to-life, unvarnished look at Alaska’s former Governor and her family. Was this up-close-and-personal view a good move politically? 

We’ll see what the future brings.

Find her message to our new congressional reps and read the 2 pages - she pretty much covers it all ...

If nothing else this series promises to be a great promotional piece for Alaska - even as an Alaskan she’s doing things she’ never done. IMHO. ;-)

I just watched the show and was a bit disappointed.

I thought it would be more ‘documentary’ oriented on Alaska and the outdoors. But it was was more like a reality show.

It wasn't advertised as a documentary.
