TLC and why Palin will never be president -- part 2
Last week I wrote a piece pegged to tonight's TLC pairing of Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin on Palin's "Alaska" reality TV series.
The core of my commentary was that Palin will never be president because she has sold herself too cheap to low-rent reality-TV venues like TLC, and now she is being perceived as another one of the channel's freak moms like Kate Gosselin or the women on the series "I Didn't Know I was Pregant." As the title so coyly suggests, that shows features women who gave birth and claim they didn't know ther were pregant. You can also now lump Palin in with the twisted stage moms of "Toddlers & Tiaras," a show that sexualizes little girls, and the women of "Sister Wives," TLC's celebration of polygamy.

Palin has been reduced to the level of Gosselin by allowing herself to become part of the debased TLC stable of "stars."
Was it really worth a million dollars for Palin to allow herself to be associated with the rest of the folks on this freak show reality-TV channel? Either way, this is the kind of thing that will keep her from ever being president.
Yes,Sarah, Ronald Reagan did have a TV career, too. But it was never with bottom-feeding programs like this.

From your post, I can’t even find out who’s Pregant. And who’s not.
Are you logged on?
She needs to rerun it on the Outdoor channel. It gives folks a glimpse at the Last Frontier, Palin style.
Trolling Matt? Keep it up and your destruction on FR is certain. You can take it to the bank.

About people getting the Palin hunting thing, don’t forget, there is that twit Levi Johnston out there saying she doesn’t hunt, has never hunted, other such empty assertions, so I think it was good to put the lie to those. Also, the show is watched by her detractors as well, not just her supporters. Her supporters accepted that she hunts. Now, everybody does.
I agree that the Gosselin association seems like it would hurt more than help.
Heh, Myth busters, maybe they can figure out if Zero is an American or Kenyan ;)
Did this fool make these kind of comments when Obama appeared
On the BET/MTV nets ?
“Get Tough On Drugs!” LOL!
“detracts from Sarah’s credibility if she runs for President”
I am just curious...just exactly what makes one “credible” to be President? Check out the “credentials” of the past ones and tell me why they are more credible than Sarah Palin? Which one of them actually led a country as large and diverse as the USA? Which one of them had experiences/education that taught them precisely how to be President? Why is her life experiences and her education and her political career seen as detrimental and the others before her had similar backgrounds but weren’t seen as not credible...why would the one currently in office be thought credible when he is a total mystery man with credentials no one actually knows...considering these...then why is Sarah Palin not considered credible?
I agree!! The best part of Palin is she is NOT a lawyer, and she did not attend one of the eastern schools, ala Harvard, Yale of Princeton!! In my book, that earns her big marks. Sarah Palin is an all American gal, down to earth, smart, intelligent to a mark and able to think on her feet. She doesn’t need teleprompters to remark without (fillers) and pays attention when the red flags come up. We faulted our MSM bigtime because they did not VENT the current resident of the White House properly!! Well, watch just one episode of Palin’s Alaska, and you will know immediately that this small, beautiful, smart and tough dame can handle anything and won’t pale when anyone has the sass to call her a dame. I’m betting she will love it, yet the name Madam President would go well in her world also.
This was at the Tea Party Express rally in Reno, NV last week (Go Sharron Angle!). The lady in the cowboy hat with the sweet smile is my wife Sheila. And that’s Syncro’s left eyeball in the upper left as he focuses his video camera.
Sarah was introduced to me by Sal Russo (leader of the Tea Party Express) who introduced me as Jim Robinson from freerepublic.com. She said thank you for all you guys have done, then leaned forward and gave me a little cheek to cheek hug. I took it as she loves the FReepers and pass it on to all of you!!
Woo hoo!! FR is Palin Country!!
Palin can see the WH from her Porch.
Merry Christmas FR
Hey, I have an idea.
If you want to ensure someone is irrelevant.... Keep talking about them.
That’ll do pig, that’ll do...
