Sarah Palin Guest Hosts Today, Probably Not for the Last Time [The "Unsinkable" Sarah Palin]
pjmedia.com ^ | 04.03.12 | Brian Preston

Posted on 04/03/2012 7:36:19 AM PDT by fight_truth_decay

The first Mama Grizzly reference came in the first minute or two of former AK Gov. Sarah Palin’s stint guest hosting NBC’s Today show. In the opening segment, a very energetic Palin noted New York’s “warm” weather (by comparison to Alaska, where it was 25 degrees this morning, about 20 degrees cooler than NYC), Ann Curry scoffed at the idea that it was warm and that’s when Palin whipped out the Mama Grizzly. Alaskans are just made of sterner stuff than hardened New York network hosts, it seems: Curry was bundled up and visibly reacting to the mild weather. Matt Lauer wasted no time getting little digs and jibes in at his guest co-host, but I was struck by the appearances of the whole thing. Palin occupied screen right and looked great in a modest dark suit, and she appeared to be within an inch of Lauer’s height. She fit right in despite the evident hostility of Lauer and Curry, weatherman Al Roker seeming to be the friendliest of Today’s permanent crew. She exuded the confidence of someone who has hosted big shows for decades, not the typical nervousness of a one-time guest host going behind enemy lines in the lamestream media.

Within about 15 minutes, Lauer’s attitude seemed to change.

Hearts Afire. It lasted for three years-ish. I looked it up.

I’m sure Sarah will succeed at whatever she does (and of course I’m rooting for her), but.... NBC??

It's called taking the fight to the enemy. Yesterday, I heard one of the talk radio guys make the excellent point that Conservatives need to get on these shows and fight back publicly to show where they stand on the issues, and not yield the entire MSM battlefield to the Rats. Newt knows this and has done well with his appearances for the most part, and Palin knows it too.

“I wonder why? “

Because she's not a hypocrite?

This would have happened universally IF SHE RAN!

Sigh.

I can’t for the life of me understand why Sarah would indulge the indecent, repugnant, disgusting NBC Company.

NBC is the company that employs Al Sharpton, Chris Matthews, and formerly Keith Olbermann.

NBC is the absolute worst of all of the networks, and that is saying something.

I watched. She did fine. She is very likable. But she should have told NBC to crap in their hats.

She did not get on to convince or change any minds at NBC.

She did however, gain access to and show her self to millions of impressionable viewers whose only prior source of info was that same reviled NBC.

So, who gained and who lost?

To catch you,up, ABC's Good Morining America is trying to make a big splash this week with Katie Couric as host, so NBC countered in the ratings game by putting on Sarah on the TODAY show. It'll be fun to see who drew the bigger numbers.

Country people have a different idea of “personal space” than city people. Especially big city people.

This goes contrary to things like the desire to get everyone into a nice group for the camera shot.

Governor Palin was terrific...even after Curry called her MS Palin, which to me seemed a deliberate affront. She was gracious, confident and generous with her praise for the guests. Most definitely a class act

I have heard tell, even on FR, that she has high negative numbers.

Wonder what helped them in the formulation of their opinions?

Further, what can one do to positively affect change?

I got a good laugh out of that exchange!

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer.

With all the cheap shots that have been thrown at Palin she has not given up, folded her tent and gone away.

There is no doubt our Sarah should be our candidate for President. This election, with pretty boy Romney will be just like the last....a weak candidate with most likely a strong VP pick, and there are many. I am hoping against all odds that it goes to the convention and Sarah comes out on top...wouldn’t that be a wonderment?? It would make liberal heads explode!! WHOOPDEDOO!!
