FTA: "The blogosphere is already oscillating between whether Palin's planning a run for president in 2012 or whether she's just written her political epitaph. Me, I'm just wondering whether her next act will be, say, going head-to-head against Rachel Maddow..."

That's some real journalism there Lou...

 
FlashHarry [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 10:59:33 AM  
yeah. bullshiat.

besides - if she quit her job and abandoned the people of alaska just to make more money and have a national TV presence, she's even more shallow, arrogant and self-serving than previously thought - and would have zero credibility on any issue. but the mouth-breathers would love her, so it's still a possibility.

 
jake_lex [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 10:59:53 AM  
Judging from that trainwreck she put on yesterday, she cannot speak off-cuff.

So I just don't see this happening.

 
deadapostle [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:03:28 AM  
That imbecile can't speak when she has some of the best speech writers in America working for her, what makes anyone think that she can host a talk show? I wouldn't be surprised to see her on Maury Povich in one of those "Who's your daddy?" episodes, but otherwise, I just don't think it's in the cards.

As compared to Hannity, Olberman, Maddow, O'reilly, etc.?

I wonder why everyone's favorite little "conservative" farker hasn't submitted 40 headlines about this to the queue and then commented in them to lament the fact that people are "afraid" discuss it.

How strange.

Just because her family could fill a whole week's lineup of Maury doesn't mean she deserves her own show.

85% chance of happening for at least an hour on fox every week

She probably still has, and will maintain, enough of a fan base to make a Fox News show doable. I mean, O'Reilly's nightly audience is only a little over 2 million at best.

But, yeah, she'll never go outside that core.

 
CTaylor80 [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:37:38 AM  
I can't think of anyone in recent memory who would be worse suited to heading up a TALK show.

If your host can't speak intelligently, or at least provide structure, then . . . what the hell is it? That's right, it's a train wreck, just like everything else she's touched.

darkhorse23 [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:53:16 AM  
Honestly? She could do it - look at Tyra Banks. She makes every interview, no matter who it's with, about HER.

I can see Palin doing it.

But I've read some backstory stuff overnight and it seems she's about to be indicted on embezzlement charges along with Todd and the construction company that built both their house and the big community center/show arena in Wasilla.

THAT makes sense, as to why she looked so panicked.

 
Mr. Coffee Nerves [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:58:51 AM  
I've been saying this for months, except I said it would happen after she got crushed in her gubernatorial re-election race.

Since she yanked up her bootstraps and ran crying and hiding from THAT, the timetable has been moved up for "YOU BETCHA!" on the RFD Network.

Or, a revival of Hee Haw!

 
paulseta [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 11:59:28 AM  
Quit due to..umm. ahem.... things that are not what they are supposed to be? Maybe some irregularities?

The English Major [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 12:13:08 PM  
Next on Discovery, Ice Fishing with Sarah Palin.

Then again, if anyone were to resurrect Hee-Haw, I could see her hosting it.

 
shivashakti [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 12:13:42 PM  
Maddow vs. Palin? I'd love to see that showdown. Palin couldn't hold her own against bumbling Biden. Maddow would make mincemeat out of her.

Even if you disagree with her politically, Maddow's extremely intelligent.

 
Mentat [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 12:18:51 PM  
"I think Sarah Palin is on the verge of becoming the Miami Vice of American politics: Something a lot of people once thought was cool and then 20 years later look back, shake their heads and just kind of laugh," quipped Republican media consultant Todd Harris.

Oh, motherfarking SNAP!

 
Mordant [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 12:26:15 PM  
There must still be some folks who feel "energized" by her real conservative values.

Anyone ? C'mon guys, step up and be proud of what you almost did for America.

 
Etchy333 [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 12:46:47 PM  
Yeah, just like Nixon resigned so he could appear on more episodes of Laugh-In.

Maddow graduated at age 20 from Stanford, earning a Rhodes Scholarship along the way and holds a PhD (DPhil) in PolySci from Oxford She's hardly the vacuous, incomprehensible, willfully ignorant type as is Palin. I'd say she has a hell of lot of credibility on matters of politics given her past record of success in the area.

And she gets aroused talking about infrastructure.

 
Apik0r0s 2009-07-04 01:21:27 PM  
She was talking to Fox News yesterday, per some DC folk I know. By the end of the day Fox was backing off on the idea though.

 
Benevolent Misanthrope [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 01:21:32 PM  
Oh - I hope this is true. If for no other reason than to have Joel McHale eviscerate her on a weekly basis.

 
MysticSavage 2009-07-04 01:25:01 PM

Next up on the Oxygen Channel, it's "Who Farted, Y'all!" with Palin and Prejean. America's got a nice pair!

Palin has a degree in journalism. She has been a local newscaster. I thought this would happen after the 2008 election. The kind of numbers she would bring in would be huge for cable news - I work with poeple who would gladly follow her to the ends of the earth. A Palin Power Hour would be must-see tv for them.

Jeezus Christ, Palin - GO AWAY! I have to work with one of the annoying Palin fan girls today. "They can't beat her on ideas so they attack her personally". "I like her, she's smart and speaks well" or "At least we know where she was really born. Is it so hard to turn over a birth certificate?". I just kind of blink because you cannot counter this kind of ignorance.

I've got a throbbing migraine between my eyes and I've only been at work for two hours. I blame you Sarah

You have to work on the 4th of July--on a Saturday??? God that sucks.

If she becomes a FOX headliner, then I can not WAIT to see what Maddow comes up with.

Hi, I'm Sarah Palin, and welcome to the Paliticks hour! You might remember me from that darn 2008 election thing, or when I surrendered my political career to David Letterman. Gosh darn it, we've got a great show here today!
I'm gonna talk about how everyone is such big meanies, and then I'm gonna talk about Baracky just doesn't want good stuff for America.

It'd be on Fox, which is essentially the same thing.
