[babylonsister]

[Warpy]

2. Have you read the proposal?

She wants a glorified Alaska travelogue with her vapid face blocking the scenery in every shot.

[malaise]

7. I just read something

[Liberal_in_LA]

You betcha. It's coming down to the wire for former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, whose TV project appears closer to landing a home.

A&E and Discovery appear to be the front-runners to land the untitled Alaska-themed series, to be produced by Mark Burnett Prods.

No decision has been made yet, as the cablers are apparently still finalizing their bids. Given the talent attached and interest in the show, the Palin project is believed to be in the ballpark of around $1 million an episode.

As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, the Palin project will center on interesting characters, traditions and attractions in the 49th state -- with the ex-VP candidate as a guide. Burnett and Palin pitched the show to all four major networks -- but given the travelogue nature of the series, it ultimately made more sense for a cable network, insiders said.

13. lol

"Given the talent attached..."

Talent? I think that waterboarding squirrel has more talent than Sarah Palin. Or is this just a Lehman Brothers situation, where the more you F things up the more you get paid?

[progressoid]

15. A&E is neither Arts nor Entertaining.

They used to have at least a couple redeeming shows but now I just zip past that crappy station.

Although Sarah's ego would be a good match up with Gene Simmons.

4. "Sarah Palin" and "reality" have no place in the same sentence.

:puke:

[ColesCountyDem]

8. LOL!

:rofl:

[HopeHoops]

9. Well?

:shrug:

[ColesCountyDem]

14. You're absolutely correct, of course!

;)

[Liberal In Texas]

6. She MIGHT get a $Million$ an episode if she did it ---

-- naked.

[progressoid]

16. Pay per view.

Freepers would sell their mother's silverware to see that.

[NanceGreggs]

10. She should have gone with a sitcom instead ...

Premise:

After making a public spectacle of her ignorance during a vice presidential campaign, clueless airhead Farah Failin quits politics and becomes a TV show producer.


Episode One:

Feckless Farah doesn't realize her first show has been canceled after one airing, despite the fact that it's the headline in every newspaper in the country. Mayhem ensues.

[Soylent Brice]

12. ....

:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

20. Episode 2

Rascally kids sell mom's "special pillows' on ebay..hilarity ensues when we note that the brand name on the label of the pillows says... T.R.I.G. Corp.

[monmouth]

11. Or the Food Network. Some of those chefs are pretty tough..LOL...n/t

[brewens]

17. Put her on TLC right after L.A. Ink. Would having her on

The Learnin' Channel be ironic enough? TLC has gone downhill far enough to where she'd be a good fit.

[formercia]

18. Soon, she won't be able to give it away.

Sarah will have to pay them to do an infomercial. It slices, it dices.

[tanyev]

21. It's hard out there for a pimp.

[bullwinkle428]

22. When they reject her, she'll probably start pitching the Fox Reality Network!

Wait...I thought that Fox was already paying her at this point? Shouldn't this be a done deal already?

"Yes, Sarah...we'd be HAPPY to pay you the princely sum of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS per episode!" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
