I remember another guy who had a TV show and then became president. He was a two termer also, I think.

Wrong. Reagan left TV before running as Governor of California. He served out 2 terms, and then ran for President. He did not get the nomination the first time.

He worked long and hard for it.

President Reagan earned his way inspite of his early career as an actor, not because of it. Ask someone under 60 to name one of his movies or even the TV program he hosted.

He left TV in 1967. Governor Palin or anyone else comparing her to President Reagan is far more laughable than anything Vice President Quayle ever said..
