FTFA:Asked for comment, Palin aide and unofficial spokeswoman Rebecca Mansour emailed The Huffington Post, claiming that Palin "doesn't recall being invited on Jon Stewart's show" and that no one at her political action committee, SarahPAC "remembers seeing an invitation," adding that the former governor's Fox News contract precludes her from appearing on other networks without approval.

When it was suggested that perhaps she and the other holdouts were afraid to go on the show, Mansour emphasized: "She is certainly not 'afraid' to go on his or any show. Sometimes she chooses to avoid a show, such as David Letterman's, because she doesn't want to give it a ratings or publicity boost. But afraid? No way."

In a follow-up email, Mansour was more vehement: "She's not afraid of his show. She doesn't think about him all that much. Neither do I. However, I do recall that he's been rather vicious in his coverage of her, so I'm not sure why she would even want to appear on his show to give him a ratings boost. If you continue to imply that she's afraid of appearing on a comedian's satire news show, then you're just plain wrong. She's stared down big oil companies and won. Jon Stewart isn't all that intimidating."

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

And Jon will say "bring it".

And Sarah will come up with some excuse why she can't and then blame TDS.

you will be.

FTFA: "If you continue to imply that she's afraid of appearing on a comedian's satire news show, then you're just plain wrong. She's stared down big oil companies and won. Jon Stewart isn't all that intimidating."

She'll never do it because Stewart will never agree to provide
the questions in the form of colouring books 3 months prior.

It's not Stewart she should fear. It's her own face-melting ignorance. Honestly, I'd fear that if she goes on and makes an ass of herself, her supporters would simply be galvanized the way they were after Couric.

Remember, nothing is Sister Sarah's fault. When she says something excruciatingly dumb, it's the media's fault, right? Nothing more than a conspiracy to discredit a strong conservative woman.

Stewart has been a magnanimous host with conservatives. He would get his point across, but in the end it's Palin who would break down without any provocation.

Remember, Palin supporters, there is a reason all of her 'interviews' are with like-minded softball pitchers. The people who control her career know better. If there is anything that should put you off this woman, it's that little fact. And yet you dolts routinely turn out to support her 75k speaking fees.

/even Fark conservatives dislike this woman
//why are you carrying water for her?

I don't understand why anyone would be afraid to go on his show.

He's not exactly a hard-hitting interviewer.

Couric was even less so. We all know how that turned out.

Although, to be fair, there really is very little upside for Palin to go on TDS.

Conservatives always seemed very worked up when the 'f' word comes out. I have never met a bunch of people who absolutely have to make 100% clear that they do not fear anything. Ever.

Yeah, Jon and the Daily Show crew have always wandered around in semi-celebrity. It would take the titanic might of Sarah Palin to truly get them into the public eye for once.

Seriously, what color is the retarded sky in your fearful world, conservatives?

sweetmelissa31: Why is she afraid of smart, sexy Jewish men?

Weaver95: you will be.

Thank you, exactly what I came to say.

Honestly though, why the fark would she go on his show? There is no benefit for her- her fans don't watch that, and nothing is going to make the average Daily Show viewer vote for or listen to her.

It would be like Obama going on Bill O'R...

Oh wait.

She probably thinks Colbert is more sympathetic to her.

mahuika: I think I sounded like this when I was 15 and invited to my ex's birthday party.

That was exactly what I thought. The last time I heard someone making such a big deal about something "not being a big deal", it involved a a senior prom snub.

Sudo_Make_Me_A_Sandwich: HawgWild: Although, to be fair, there really is very little upside for Palin to go on TDS.

Are you kidding? If she could on the the Daily Show and really hold her own against Jon Stewart, my respect for her would increase infinitely (dividing by zero and all that). If she's really as capable as everyone claims, she has everything to gain from proving it to a diverse audience.

Yeah, but you and I know she can't hold her own against Stewart. She couldn't even hold her own against Couric. Jon would be nice and respectful, but he would eat her lunch, poop it out, then make her eat it.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: And Sarah will come up with some excuse why she can't and then blame TDS.

Sounds like she already did. She doesn't want to give Jon Stewart a big ratings boost.

"Our next guest is the former governor of Alaska and has a new book out entitled America by Heart. Please welcome Sarah Palin!... Welcome to the show, Governor Palin."

"Thank you. It's great to be here, Jon."

"Thank you. So you've got a new book out, could you tell us a little about it?"

"Y-yes."

"..."

"Of course I could tell you about it. I wrote it."

"I'm sorry. I guess I should have said, 'What can you tell us about it?'"

"Everything."

"..."

"I really did write it, despite what others may have told you. Straight from the heart to the page."

"Really?"

"You betcha."

Wendy's Chili: I don't understand why anyone would be afraid to go on his show.

I don't know about that, he's pretty glib and can get to the point rather directly. And Palin is a high-functioning retard. So it's only natural she'd be a little scared.

I think he went pretty soft on Rumsfeld

Jackson Herring: I think he went pretty soft on Rumsfeld

Oh, I didn't see that one. When did it air?

That would be the first time I purposely missed the Daily Show.

I can't stand that coont no matter what forum she is in.

wee: Oh, I didn't see that one. When did it air?

Some time between the day his book came out and today. Maybe in the last month, I don't really remember

It's not like Stewart would barrage her. He's quite civil with his guests. I doubt he would try any "gotcha media" tactics or even drop any zingers. It's not like he's Morton Downey Jr.

A lot of pissy-pants liberals in here insulting Sarah Palin, one of the only true conservatives and politicians who's willing to tell it like it is.

This woman is 100% pure republican spirit and intellect and that terrifies you, because you know she can fix the problems Obama continues to create.

Sarah Palin has life experience, executive experience, and experience being tough in the face of adversity. She is the embodiment of the GOP. In fact, the less like Sarah Palin you are, the less republican and conservative you are.

She is the perfect representative of all that red staters and republican voters hold dear. The perfect example of our ideology and just the kind of person our train of thought leads one to be.

You should absolutly nominate her. I'm sure she wouldn't piss herself in fear AT ALL during a debate with Obama.

Am I wrong?

Is she not the quintessential republican? Is she not the perfect embodiment of conservative thought?

If I'm wrong, tell me. But please, I'm as much a troll as she is a liberal.

Crap. There's more than one Sarah Palin.

Sudo_Make_Me_A_Sandwich: You started off strong, but lost it towards the end.

I'm not even really trying to troll. I'm simply done arguing with republicans over how dumb she is.

So I've changed my approach. From now on (and I ask others to do this to) if someone sings her praises as a republican or a conservative, I'm going to vehemently agree that she is, in fact, the perfect embodiment of conservative thought. I'm going to agree that she absolutely represents the people who support her, and is a true, real deal conservative republican. I honestly think that with the GOP being what it is, this is true. And if they want to scream about how qualified she is to lead them, I can only agree that she should as well. They get the representation they deserve.

Be proud, republicans. You've elevated a true republican to take up your cause.

Sudo_Make_Me_A_Sandwich: 8/10You started off strong, but lost it towards the end.

I've been following HerpaDerpaDoo's work lately. It's too bad he's already outed himself, because there are some real choice high notes in his repertoire.

thomps: haha, what_now is scared of supple conservative strength and intimidated by the sensual curves of well-aged freedom. pathetic.

You know, there are quite a few women I'd dally with. Sarah Palin is *NOT* one of them. I don't find her even remotely attractive, and her voice makes me want to rip my own ears off.
