‘Flippin’ Fun!’ TLC Releases Preview Of Sarah Palin’s Alaska Reality Show

video
» 27 comments

The time has come to add yet another line to Sarah Palin‘s increasingly diverse CV. The former mayor, governor, vice presidential candidate, social media savant, and Fox News pundit can now put ‘reality TV star’ on her résumé. “This was flippin’ fun!” Palin shouts in this promo for Sarah Palin’s Alaska, a TLC show slated to begin on November 14th. The woman who resigned from being governor of Alaska continued, “I’d rather be doing this than in some stuffy, old political office.”

Interestingly, the promo begins with the question “Sarah, you ready?”, echoing a concern that many have raised regarding Palin’s presidential aspirations. We’ll have to wait to see if she is indeed ready for reality television (last time she tried, she was almost booed), but we have our money on Todd Palin being the real breakout star of this “eight-week television event.”

    I hope there is some electronic voice modulation used. I was trying to listen to some of the Drop Out Governor’s “speech” last night. While it was without content, just the same only quibs strung together without any transition, the real problem was the God-awful, fingernails on a chalkboard screeching. I don’t seem to recall earlier speeches being so hair-pulling inducing. Is this screech a new affectation?

    What, do all mediaite staff suffer from PDS?

    Ray – she wasn’t booed; ABC went over the video to show what happened. Why did you have to lie abut that in your article?

    I don’t know why Sarah scares the you know what out of mediaite, but she sure does.

    Calling Dan, where are you Dan?

  • TfT

    Oh and PS:

    Where is the article about FLOTUS campaigning inside a polling place…that’s kind of newsworthy isn’t it?

    Isn’t news part of the mission statement for the board?

  • ROCKSTEADY

    How can this woman ,who left her beautiful Alaska to persue her own money grubbing agenda,make money off of it now? I don’t begrudge her making money,hey worse shuksters have come and gone,but its laughable well sad really that she is making money talkng about beautiful Alaska. I’m very curious what the people of Alaska think about all this.

  • writer

    There’s this thing called the law of diminishing returns.

    New material, please.

    Just listening to that voice for an hour would drive people insane, let alone the content. Count me one of many that won’t be watching The Palins!!! It amazes me how many people in other countries wonder why anyone listens to this fool. I was just reading comments from Canadians, after she made her last speech, bragging and comparing herself to Ronald Reagan, while running Wasilla!! They can’t believe how far our country has gone down to even consider some of the politicians in the arena now!!

  • writer

    We should always consult Canada when selecting our politicians.

  • lane

    Should we just start calling her President Palin now to get used to it?

    Okay, I admit it, I added the Pres. Palin comment just to make some people’s head spin. Her affect on liberals is kind of fun… It’s funny how people who espouse being open-minded and accepting, can be so hateful to people who disagree on their viewpoint. Common yet ironic.

    I think the common media myth is that Palin appeals to conservatives, but her personal appeal is much broader. She’s very plucky and like-able, and Alaska fascinates many of us.

  • writer

    No, it isn’t sufficient to just disagree with someone politically. We must also hate them.

    I will be watching and so will Glynnis. I will see the real show and Glynnis will see some way to attack Palin.

  • philipjames

    Can you see Mommypants doing anything like this? Kayaking? Fishing? Hiking? I am afraid that after that episode of the looper from the mound with his pitch, Mommypants is afraid to try anything that looks like it might involve manliness.
    Do you think Mommypants is whipped?
    Sarah’s series looks like it will be another one of her big winners. Gee, how does someone who the liberals tell us is so inept be able to come up with all these big huge successes? It is just uncanny, isn’t it?
    Like she says, she can see November from her house.

    Ray Rahman,

    First off, love your noodles. Second – how is someone ALMOST booed? Did she ALMOST burn down an orphanage or ALMOST fart in church, too?

    Maybe she ALMOST became Vice President and scared the hell out of the left. Isolate, ridicule, destroy. Keep it up. Hopefully you’ll get no closer than ALMOST succeeding.

  • DonnaK

    Just because you have a deep seated hate for our President, not everyone that disagrees with someone is a hater. I don’t respect Palin because of her ignorance and devisivness, and I think she is terrible for the country. She is not interested in helping the country, she wants to help herself to some more cash & publicity. Why else would she bring the first lady into the conversation, saying she doesn’t respect people in uniforms, when the first lady has worked with so many military families? She is a hate monger, and will never be in public office again!!

  • writer

    I don’t hate Obama. Just disagree with his politics. And Donna, we can tell from the tenor of your posts that you feel the same about Palin.

  • Big Eddie

    Great scenery . And Alaska looks beautiful , too .

    Poor DonnaK, you make everyone feel so superior when you comment. Can you be a bigger loser?

  • ROCKSTEADY

    No Gordonblowhole Sara Palin holds the biggest loser title. Comming in second is that hate spewing creature Glen Beck.
