MORNING SHOW WARS
Sarah Palin to Co-Host 'Today'



http://www.tmz.com/2012/04/01/sarah-palin-today-show/#.T3ilVWEge2ohttp://www.tmz.com/2012/04/01/sarah-palin-today-show/#.T3ilVWEge2o

NBC has countered ABC's move of bringing Katie Couric to "Good Morning America" this week by announcing Sarah Palin will co-host "Today" this Tuesday.

On their website, the peacock said that Palin will "reveal a different side of her than you've seen before." NBC is also promising that "a surprise legend will return to the broadcast Monday morning."

Palin and Couric are forever linked from their infamous interview in 2008 when Couric hosted "CBS Evening News."

The interview is widely credited for destroying Palin's credibility ... probably forever.

Palin to co-host 'Today' show as ratings battle heats up
Published April 01, 2012 | NewsCore

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/01/palin-to-co-host-today-show-as-ratings-battle-heats-up/

Sarah Palin will guest co-host NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday, signaling a new intensity in the morning show ratings war.

In a statement posted on its website, "Today" promised that the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate will "reveal a different side of her than you've seen before."

The announcement comes after it was revealed that former "Today" host Katie Couric will fill in for Robin Roberts as co-host of ABC's rival morning show, "Good Morning America" this week.

The ratings battle between the two morning shows has recently ramped up, with "Good Morning America" gaining in popularity against its historically dominant rival.

a manner of speaking--accent, voice quality, I'm not sure how to describe it--such that every time he speaks (I think I've only ever seen him on MSNBC), I think he sounds like a dullard. Maybe if he hadn't championed the hockey puck for VP I wouldn't notice that.

them for a second. I have 4 TVs in my house running I will make sure they are all on GMA to make sure in case they can see who is watching who. By the way why all of a sudden are they putting the quitter on lame stream media. If it doesn't go well she blame NBC as the liberal elites. Please lady you are such a two face liar. She loves the media.

She will no doubt have a producer in her ear piece feeding her answers but
she will go off script at some point and be a human train wreck. It is not a
question of if she will go batshit but when and how often.

So Sarah what do you think about the talks w/ N. Korea about
stopping the spread of nuclear weapons after President Obama's
trip there? And let the fun begin ....

***************

If you are bored sometime just try to read her gibberish out loud
w/out your brain cramping up.


PALIN: Well, what we can gleam from this is an understanding of why we are all on the road that we are on and it's based on what went into his thinking, being surrounded by radicals. He is bringing us back Sean to days that... you can harken back to days before the Civil War, when unfortunately too many Americans mistakenly believed that not all men were created equal. And it was the Civil War that began the codification of the truth here in America... yes, we are equal and we all have equal opportunities, not based on the color of your skin.

You have equal opportunities to work hard and to succeed and to embrace the opportunities, god given opportunities to develop resources and work extremely hard and as I say, to succeed.

Now, it has taken all these years for many Americans to understand that that gravity, that mistake, took place before the Civil War and why the Civil War had to really start changing America. What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin.

Why are we allowing our country to move backwards instead of moving forward with that understanding that as our charters of liberty spell out for us, we are all created equally.

She's every elderly Republican male's masturbation fantasy and that's the only reason she pulls in the ratings.

What was that Joan Rivers said a million years ago when NBC went from "Proud as a Peacock" to "Our Pride is showing"?
Oh, yeah, "Our PRIDE is showing?? Your FLY'S UNZIPPED! Oh, GROW UP!"
