Sarah Palin -- reality TV star?
The former Alaska governor is teaming with uber-producer Mark Burnett to shop a reality series about her home state, network sources confirm.
Palin and Burnett made the rounds at at least three of the major broadcasters (NBC, ABC and Fox) while in Los Angeles for her taping of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" this week.

This is what we are really arguing about?
I put a quote on my profile page did not cite the author?
Do you check everyone’s profile for failure to source?
The first one, no. I would guess its common practice in some circles.I'm a pretty liberal quoter myself---and I can't think of any time I ever forgot an attribution, unless I was reworking the letimotif of certain phrases (such as my tag-line---it's a smart@$$ remaking of the once-famous signoff of Vic & Sade, a remaking I use to sign off my own radio show, as it happens) for satirical or rhetorical purposes. But a) Free Republic isn't exactly a book manuscript or a doctoral or master's thesis in the making (though there's always the chance somebody might study Free Republic as his or her master's or doctoral thesis, you never know), and b) I'm willing to grant a man a mulligan or two for making the mere human mistake of the mere human memory lapse. (For what it's worth, I recognised the O'Rourke quote immediately and knew what our friend was citing and simply felt disinclined to make him a reservation in the woodshed over it.)
Excellent. Too bad he’s a Libertarian who worked for Bill Maher during the last election (2008).
That’s your right. We all have our own principles, or not.
No. Just yours.
Thats your right. We all have our own principles, or not.I didn't realise giving a man a mulligan over a simple human error of omission on a simple political forum that isn't quite the same as a published essay or book or an official degree thesis equaled a lack of principles.
Oh noes. He worked on the HBO.
Jimminy crickets! I’m sorry I like a writer. Henceworth, all my reading shall be presented to you for approval.
I was going to post a pithy comment, but realized after googling the words that far too many attributions for the single and multiple words constructions would seriously dilute the intended effect. Therefore, I must be content to posting random grunts, groans and various noises of gastronomical discomfort and attribute them to a Mr. Neanderthal and a Mr. Cro-Magnon......may they rest in peace.
Yep OldDickHand, you sure are good at posting articles by desperate old hollywood fags.
“A simple political forum”? Free Republic?
Excellent. Too bad hes a Libertarian who worked for Bill Maher during the last election (2008).Actually, the only thing O'Rourke did in 2008 regarding Bill Maher, to the best of my knowledge (and I looked it up as best I could) was go on Maher's television show talking about that year's elections. If that's a candidate endorsement I'm the Venus de Milo.
Bill Maher is scum. That O’Rourke worked for him is disgusting.
EVERYONE has principles, unfortunataly FR has had a lot of trolls recently who don't have conservative principles.
Since you seemed obsessed with my genitalia, I'd say you're the fag. Just saying.
My, my, my.
You’ve certainly done your part to advance the discussion.

Damn! I thought they came from Mystery and Misdemeanour!
A simple political forum? Free Republic?Well, I haven't noticed anything complicated about it. Yet.
I didn’t say anything about the endorsing of a candidate, Venus.
On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.
Anyone can claim anything they like, and they often do.
On the internet, words speak louder than (professed) actions.
Your leftist comments and super snarky nasty attitude reveal the real “you”.
I don’t believe it for one second.
