Sarah Palin's "Non-Political" Show Is Still Pretty Political
How could a show with Palin,not be political?

snip from the article


....time for a special video message from Palin on the unique uniqueness of Alaska. Which was quickly followed by clips of producer Mark Burnett emphasizing the "adventure" aspect of the show. The message was clear: this was a travel show about traveling in Alaska, which just happened to star one of the most polarizing figures to enter American politics in the last twenty years.

Next we watched a clip of the Palins fishing right in front of some grizzly bears. Careful viewers might have caught some Traditional American Values here: when Todd catches a fish, Sarah says he's happy to be "bringin' home the bacon, that's how it should be," and when a lady-bear starts roaring her head off, the ex-governor says "this Mama Grizzly" is "really protecting her cubs" and "saying, 'nobody's gonna mess with the future of the species.'" But it was all pretty tame, and kind of boring — after all, we were watching people fishing.

4. ya know, she keeps talking about mama grizzlies like they're
above us on the food chain. last time I looked (and I did live in AK) humnans still hunt, kill and eat both mama and daddy griz. If Sarah wants to equate herself with a mama griz.....well, she just might get et herself!
