So $arah how did that Real Amerikans thingy work out fer yer?

$arah debut DOA...a dud..


http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/04/the-campaign-continues-sarah-palin-as-tv-host.html

As a host, Palin brings little besides her name and all that it has come to mean. Despite her time on the campaign trail and in front of often-unfriendly cameras, Palin still has an eyes-locked-on-the-teleprompter stiffness. Not surprisingly, she finally relaxed when speaking to the parents of Cole Massie, the special-needs child who endured excruciating surgeries and physical therapy so he could walk his dog Elia. “When you get that diagnosis, the universe sort of stops spinning,” Palin said before turning the floor over to Cole’s mother, giving the audience a glimpse of something beyond frozen smiles and rhetoric.

Certainly there’s nothing wrong with having a show devoted to inspiring people, as the daytime talk shows have known for years. But it’s hard not to see Palin, who, after abdicating her own governorship is hardly an icon of stick-to-itiveness, as using this platform, and these people, to further the idea that she has a special relationship with “real Americans.” Which makes anyone who finds her less than enchanting at best a heartless cynic and, at worst, a traitor.

The debut on the Fox News Channel of Sarah Palin's "Real American Stories" Thursday night turned out to be like one of those shows that's on when nothing's on and yet there is air to fill -- like infotainment you sometimes see on empty channels in hotel rooms, or the stuff that's playing on the little TV screen at the gas pump nearest the rental-car center. What are we watching exactly? (A commercial? News?)

1. I don't think anyone here watched it.
I bet the reviewers asked for combat pay when they found they had to watch it.

FUX is going out of their way to make this greedy @#$%^ seem human.

4. I saw about 30 seconds.. It was a Kent Brockman style fluff piece.
The whole point is to temper Saracuda's image by having her introduce "touching" stock footage clips.

2. I love that its debut was on April Fools Day.
That is so appropriate.

5. It did turn out that the interviews they'd planned weren't
meaning the one by Toby Keith that was done by someone else and to be rerun during Quitterella's show. So in that sense, not real.

6. Everybody BRACE for Quitter to WHINE that Faux set her up, was inept, & threw her under the bus
The way she has done with EVERYTHING.


What is really piss-off worthy is how she has made LETTERMAN and everybody else apologize for imagined slights, yet she denies her violence-inciting and excuses her wingnuts who did worse things than LETTERMAN. SHE will never apologize.
