      Hehe...At best, I could imagine Palin hosting a Jenny Jones (wow...remember her?) calibre show but I admire anyone who tries to shoot for the moon.

        If she brought her family she could probably do Jerry Springer.

        Not Oprah but more like Sally Jessy Raphael. Bet there's many who've never heard of her.

          She should resign as governor, get her own show, and then get cancelled after 1 week and fade away into obscurity.

            She'll never fade away as long as submissions keep pouring in here.

              ...advice which, I'm willing to bet the rent you neither dispensed nor heeded when it came to slamming Barack Obama, Bill Clinton or anyone else on the left. But since you're "Propeller Staff" (and have only been a member for two whole weeks) I could be wrong. ;-P

                You lost the rent sorry to say. As far as the "two weeks" are concerned, I am not allowed to post otherwise - such as admin, programmer or whatever else would be inappropriate, IMHO of course. Posting as CC I do so simply as another "user" and therefore can dish out the heat AND take it in return as well, both of which are not problematic.. :-)

            People like hearing Sarah Palin because it's like watching someone really screwing up on the witness stand.

            She's just keeps talking and talking and digging herself deeper. People are curious as to what the heck she's gonna say next.

            I liked when Katie Couric asked her how "she keeps up with news and information." She answered by reading periodicals and books. Katie asked "which ones?" She said "oh, just about anything" then she said 'I read a vast... vast variety of periodicals."

              Wouldn't she have to be at least somewhat informed about the world to host her own show? Then again, who knows! I see her more as a female Rush Limbaugh. She doesn't seem to know the difference between truth and lies either.

                Sarah will be Sarah and will find her place.

                She's been subjected to the greatest character assassination effort by the liberal press and blogs of any person I can remember in my lifetime. The level of hate toward this person is unprecedented.

                She's not done ...

                  It's only character assassination if the comments about her are false. She is pathetically under informed and delusional.

                    You should have been alive when Bill Clinton was in power. Sarah has had it light compared to BC.

                      Or for that matter Hillary. The right wing media like faux news channel invested so much hate in Hillary that when Obama won the nomination they were heartbroken. They had been pumping up the hate creating words like "hillarycare" as a rallying point. I'll bet if you asked any of the hard core Clinton haters what hillarycare was you would find out that most of them had no idea but they hated it with a passion anyway.

                        She assassinated her own character not only with her stupidity, but she couldn't even follow directions from McCain.

                        Simonsez, jump off a cliff.

                        Do you really believe anyone can believe this idiocy about her being attempted assassinated by the "liberal" press. You don't have a leg to stand on. It has been proved time and again that the the press is anything but liberal and attacks the liberals with impunity.

                        Sarah Palin has been the cause of all of her own bad press because she is simply a simpleton. If the brain cells are not there, then how can it be expected that the tragedy is not preprogrammed.

                        If she is all that the neos have in their larder, then I pity them as they are in sad shape for their future. A viable party needs intelligent people to form their policy. But of course the neos have absconded with the control of the Repubs and have turn the GOP into the SOP (Sad Old Party).

                        My father was a died in the wool Republican, but in his last days he became very distraught, and even a bit cynical about his beloved party. I despise these charlatans who have taken over the once conservative, but at the same time thoughtful Republican Party.

                            I didn't have a message prepared but since you asked for one...Palin is a moron, a joke, a loser, and an absolute embarrassment to our country. You should be ashamed to be defending this deceitful underachieving twit in a pushup bra. Get serious. ;-0

                              I'll keep defending someone who is the target of biased rumor mongering from people that have no verifiable proof. Doesn't matter if it's Palin, Obama or otherwise. You, et al, keep poking labels but not backing them up. You are the one that should be ashamed spouting playyard insults for no other purpose than name-calling.

                              She'd have a better chance on a television sitcom remake "The Wassilla Hillbillies."

                              They could have Todd coming in like Jethro wearing his idiotarod suit with NASCAR emblems on it. Sarah could get up in the morning and cook pancakes which she interrupts occassionally to look out her window to see what "those russians" are doin.

                                As usual you don't do your homework prior to posting. "Hillbillies" don't say "Russians", they say "Rooskies" ... sheesh :-)

                                The saddest part of this whole discourse is that there are still those propping up this failed woman. At least Ted Stevens had the good sense to concede the election so it's safe she can't appoint herself to the senate. I'm sure that was her plan. Another Republican loser, Katherine Harris, who gave the election to Bush in 2000, spent one term in the house, ran for the senate, and was run out of town on a rail. The Republicans in the house couldn't believe what a loser and loose cannon she was. THEY DIDN'T WANT HER and I don't think the REPUBLICANS who have a brain cell want Sarah either!

                                  A joke I heard from some TV host. 45% of republicans are in favor of Sarah running for president in 2012. 100% of democrats are in favor of Sarah running in 2012.

                                    Interesting you bring that up, joke or not. Hillary Rosen and James Carville, both very staunch democrat pundits would argue the point.

                                    You still don't get it ... She CANNOT appoint herself. If Stevens would have won and was subsequently bannished, his seat would be up for a SPECIAL ELECTION. No Governor in any state that I am aware of can appoint themselves to a vacated Senate seat. If you know of one then please educate me.

                                    And besides, if you don't like Palin, keeping her in the public eye will only serve to make her more of an attraction. Keep it up, she'll be even more popular day by day and onlookers will be seeking the truth, good OR bad.

                                      Oprah has a book club.

                                      Sarah wants a book burning.

                                      Not the same.

                                          Palin has acknowledged she twice raised the issue in 1996 of how books could be removed from the shelves, but said it was only a "rhetorical question" and that she did not ask for any books to be banned.

                                          If you have proof to the contrary please post it or just continue to wallow in your ignorance.

                                            Tis you who are ignorant, "cajun." Isn't it bad enough that she asked?
