TLC and why Sarah Palin will never be president
The Baltimore Sun ^ | December 9, 2010 | David Zurawik

Posted on 12/09/2010 11:11:59 AM PST by EveningStar

Take a good look at this video. It is only 30 seconds long, but it encapsulates how right Karl Rove is about Palin's TV career -- and why she will never be president of the United States.

The video comes from the TLC cable channel and it is intended to promote this week's episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska," the reality TV show starring Palin bludgeoning fish to death and shooting caribou. Of course, I found both ugly and digusting...

Palin sold herself too cheap when she got into bed with TLC, Kate Gosselin and TV shows that celebrate polygamy and sexualize little girls...

The last photo looks like the freezer section of Gallagher’s Restaurant in NYC. You walk past it every time you go into the bar. Never even phased me as a little girl.

Pussies, all!

Captains Courageous is a great movie, very good on the details of that old school type of schooner fishing. I also remember being required to read THE JUNGLE by Upton Sinclair in junior high. That was educational.

Plus, she rips into Obama like nobody else. these other guys are milquetoast.

Why would you consider killing a fish on film as sabotaging her possible candidacy?

There are millions of people who watched that and would jump at the chance to support her, if for no other reason than that. Also, “blood film”? So are you considering it a “snuff” film also?

Kerry tried to be “manly” and showed himself to be a prime wuss by acting outside his comfort zone. Palin is standing directly in her comfort zone, showing the world who she truly is. I'll take the truth over media made lie any day, any hour, any second. No one will ever have to “guess” her meaning.

I wonder how these authors think that their prime rib dinners go from the pasture to thier plates???

It must be hard to live from day to day knowing so darn little about how life really is.

Raised on a dairy farm, one of the best jokes we could play on the ‘city slickers’ who came out to see the cows-horses-pigs & chickens was to tell them :

A chicken craps & dispenses eggs from the same opening!!!

That was almost tied with ‘grab that wire so we can go from this pasture to the next’.......when the wire was electrified!!

Yep. It’s so strong that my nose is stopped up with a cold, and I can still smell it.

There was a “letter to the Editor” in some newspaper of other last year. I should have kept it.

It was a rant from one of the animal activists who said:

“All of you hunters should be ashamed of yourselves!!! You should stop shooting deer & elk & other things & just go to the grocery store where they grow meat and get your meat there’.

I kid you not.

I applaud the paper editor who had the guts to publish that letter & show how stupid some people are.

I live in N Nevada & lots of deer hunting and goose hunting keeps meat in the freezer.

“There is nothing wrong with killing animals that G-d put here for us to eat. “

But you have to know how to shoot first. If you’re going to miss all the time and let the animal die a long slow death then that’s just wrong. Fortunately, the shot that actually hit the animal killed on impact.

True story on the famous Kerry pheasant hunting photo. I heard this from an acquaintaince whose company was called in to do the photo.

In the waning days of the 2004 campaign, Kerry's people commissioned a poll which showed the race was tightening and ground zero was the male hunter blue collar demographic in Ohio and western Pennsylvania.

Kerry needed a flashy photo shoot showing he was just one of the boys out hunting pheasants. One of the hired locals bagged a couple of the birds for him and the photo crew told him to pick up the birds to pose for the cameras in a harvested cornfield. Like the doofus he was, he picked the birds up by their necks and mugged for the cameras. Of course, he got blood all over his camos and someone had to tell him to put the birds down and pick them up by the feet.

The schedule was tight, so no time to change the camos. One of the camera crew stepped in and dabbed him off with a damp rag the best they could. They then rearranged the angle so the blood wouldn't show that much.

I thought they did a great job on the photo when it hit the mail boxes 3-4 days later. But the real pheasant hunters at work saw the bird blood and figured out exactly what happened.

That's one of the fun parts about living in one of these highly competitive swing areas.

That’s silly. Everyone knows that meat grows on trees, just like money.

You obviously did not watch the entire show. It was explained later why she missed on her first shots. The sight was out of adjustment! Watch the damn show.

There was a study done at Stanford about 10 years ago where they took a group of students, divided into two groups, one guards the other prisoners. They were isolated and after two days they had to call off the experiment becase the ‘prison guards’ were abusing the ‘prisoners’, and it got vilent.
