Does anyone else finds it kind of weird (for the lack of a better word) that among all those insane shows there is a show featuring an ex-governor??
Not to start a political debate AT ALL, but if I ever saw a politician, even the one that I liked, to have a show on a channel that is one step away from being a home to any and all the freaks out there, I would think very very hard before electing her/him or donating money to their campaign.
What about you?

Considering she is a freak show, I'm not surprised. ;D

I thought her doing that show was a pretty good indicator that she would never have a serious bid for President. I didn't think she was electable, but I thought she would at least take a shot at it. Who knows? Maybe her core supporters think the show raises her capital. But, personally, I think it makes her look like media-whore. I might ask some of the people I know that are involved with politics. It seems like something that her advisors would advise against.

weird, only if you don't consider the company it's in on that channel already. I have to admit, I tuned in one night  I caught the blurb in the guide channel that it was the episode where Kate +8 was heading up. talk about a major train wreck, you've got 2 train wrecks colliding for a huge one! |

Did you see the show where she had Kate + 8 on? I think a rip opened in the fabric of space and time.

I wasn't trashing anyone, but was very much questioning someone's judgment. Big difference

just to name a few politicians who made tv magic before becoming politicians

The key word, to me, is BEFORE.
The problem that I am having is not the TV show, but the channel that she picked. I would be embarrassed by the company she keeps there. I could be wrong. I've been wrong before.

I kind of think this is an indicator that she has no plans to run for president. I kind of think she likes to mess with people and is getting rich on the left's obsession with her and the rights.... whatever that is.
I don't like or dislike her. I've even watched the show a couple of times, because Alaska does look beautiful. What train wreck are you talking about on TLC? There is Kate of course, but the rest are people dealing with different situations. The little people shows and big family shows. I don't consider those as bad as the housewife shows or any show obsessed with fame and money. I don't watch TLC much myself, so there is probably something I am missing.
I really don't get what the big deal is about this woman, whether people really like her or really don't.

This "woman " is sharp as a tac...she has carved out a career as a entertainer, spokesperson for a large segment if the populace and along the way . has provided and is providing a nice living for her and her family. Since few of them seem to be of the up and coming sort, she will be able to provide employment for many of them on her different varied businesses and endeavors which is nice to be able to do.
Dumb she is not. A great mind? In some ways not great but reselute and with a purpose to benefit her and hers? Oh yeah.

Three were/are trying to do something more for their fellow citizens than just wrestle, act or make people laugh. The other one quit caring about her fellow citizens and simply walked away. The money was better as a tv personality than serving her constituents. |

I watched the first season of survivor. I was pretty much over the whole (not-even-close-to) "reality" TV fad at that point. |

19 kids...lives debt free...no government assistance.
All them kids are not something I'd do, but you sort of have to respect the guy for being able to take care of his family.

Probably. If she wants to tell the world about her state, I think it's great. How about Fox or ABC or History channel. But when your show "neighbors" are
toddlers and tears - about ugly fat women trying to pawn their kids into the world of beauty pageants
I didn't know I was pregnant -
my strange addictions - about people eating TP, etc
I hope you get where I am going...

Did you guys see Sarah and her family and Greta in Haiti?? It was a pretty awesome program. Beautiful and sensitive woman, she is. I don't see her as POTUS, but she is a great spokeswoman for conservative values.
SO-- sue me.

I am not a fan of Palin in any way, but the fact that she has a show on TLC? who cares? As I pointed out, many other politicians had similar entertainment ventures

I'll hold my opinion until his kids are grown up and supporting themselves. It's one thing to support 19 kids, it's another to support 19 families. |
