Sarah Palin Fails To Find Buyer For Latest TV Show
Telegraph(UK) ^ | December 13, 2011 | Nick Allen

Sarah Palin Fails To Find Buyer For Latest TV Show Sarah Palin has so far failed to find a buyer for her latest television show idea in a further sign that her star is on the wane.

In the last few years Sarah Palin has made millions of dollars from two books and numerous public appearances By Nick Allen 13 Dec 2011

The former Republican vice presidential candidate's new proposed foray into reality TV would focus on her husband Todd's career as a champion snowmobile racer. It would be a follow up to "Sarah Palin's Alaska," an eight-part travelogue which was sold to The Learning Channel (TLC) for more than $1 million an episode and first broadcast in November last year.

That show followed the former Alaska governor and her family around the state, including footage of her shooting a caribou on a hunting trip, going on a deep sea fishing expedition, and visiting a logging camp. It broke ratings records for a first episode on TLC, drawing more than five million viewers. However, it dropped to three million for the second episode and received mixed reviews, with entertainment industry bible Variety commenting "Boring? You betcha".

Discovery Communications, which owns TLC, has not bought the latest idea for a Palin show. Cable and satellite broadcaster A&E Networks, which bid for the previous series, is also reportedly not interested.

There is no way the GOP can win this election with anyone but Palin.

- - - -
Ummm FAIL. Now, I will give you that conservatives will lose with most of those still in the race, but the GOP will probably win with anyone but Romney.

I know there is a huge Latino population both legal and illegal. JD pleased the anti illegal crowd with his talk show rants, which would have been great,but he ticked off the legal Latinos and could not even win reelection is his CD. He came across even on Fox as angry,then he had the financial mess. Even a dog knows you don't blank where you blank.

SP knew JD would not win because of the volitility alone and was not even in the race until late. She owed Mccain, and repaid the old nutcase.

she became irrelevant to most of her supporters.

Not true.

And Who needs flip flop supporters anyway - they are only loyal to their 'feelings' - "what did you do for me today" - closet liberals, Mitt is more their speed.

Although the Establishment on both sides don’t want outsiders to be part of it, especially when they are talking about cleaning up crony capitalism and their corrupt political system,

Very well said. Marginalize Sarah before she has a chance to weigh-in on 2012. Stinks of strategy, stinks of McAxelrod, McRove, McRomney, etc. "Hey Mehgan, you Mc-listening?"

You got it and they rest of the posters bought it hook line and sinker. Nothing conservative about being a pawn for the media.

There were articles about the possibility of her jumping in the race - and now this article to remind their pawns - remember, she can’t win, she’s not relevant, she never was. LOL!

Ok, some of those made me laugh and go WTH!!??

Johnny Cash? June Carter, maybe, but Palin isn’t nearly as funny.

the Beatles? What not Elvis?!!
Godzilla?
Joan of Arc? Ok, this one I can see, Joan was excommunicated, burned at the stake, then restored and canonized

Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Luke Skywalker?
Mother Teresa? - Palin is neither Catholic or a nun
Secretariat? A horse? Really? This one really made me laugh

Snow White?
Sir William Wallace? Yeah because I can see her with Mel Gibson in a kilt yelling “FREEEEEDOOOOMMMM”

Wow, just wow.

They were there two weeks ago.

They came out on October fourth.

I mentioned it because it is relevant to the topic of Sarah Palin.

I don’t know why you responded to a post that wasn’t directed to you.

Palin can write books, make documentaries... pretty much what she wants.

No one forced anyone to buy her books, this is a free country and Palin is entitled to make money.

Palin did not promise to run for Presidency , it is only her supporters who were constantly hoping that she runs and disappointed when she did’nt.

I lived on “O” street in DC many years ago, and I love it,but hate the corruption. We need to move the capitol,then those scumbags would have to make deals in cornfields. We need to take a stand. The scum know that their days are numbered.

You have no idea who she is and you allowed the liberal media to decide who she is for you.

Excellent list. Where’d you get it?

I added names to the list as I learned of their existence in threads. I kept the first few names in my head, but when I got to six or seven, I started publishing the list. It's been growing for nearly two years.

As far as I know, all the names on the list are sincere comparisons by Palindrones. If I thought someone was putting me on, I didn't add the name to the list.

In case you're wondering, a few people did make the Jesus Christ comparison, and that name did appear on the list for a time. I removed the name when it became apparent that *I* would be the one accused of the blasphemy rather than those who actually made the comparison. Some people like to play shoot-the-messenger around here. :)

You were one of the most crazed and over the top when she declined to run. I was ashamed for you, and realized that you put too much emotion into her possible campaign, and when she turned it down, you crashed and burned before our very eyes. You are still very angry. Please redirect that anger, try really physical work like chopping wood. It helps to pry your fingers off the keyboard too.

Keep it honest - you trashed Sarah from the beginning. Try to keep your contempt for conservatism to a low roar here. You got too comfortable here and now letting your liberalism spew all over the place. If there is a Sarah thread - there you are venting your vile.
