I don’t identify as either liberal or conservative, but I absolutely will not waste my time on anything Palin-related. Once upon a time, I thought rather highly of John McCain. The day he dragged this embarrassment into the public view, I lost all respect for him. If ever anyone deserved to be abducted by aliens, it’s Sarah Palin… Or is that wishing ill upon aliens? ---

> [@Kyla](#): > > Wait, the only possible reason I could have to watch or not watch the show is political? I didn’t watch, but that’s because I wasn’t presented with a really compelling reason _to_ watch. The same reason I don’t watch, I don’t know, 99% of the shit on TV. Same for me. I just don’t watch TV anymore. ---

If her aim is to convince people that she knows how to handle guns and how to fish, it failed miserably. She is very uncomfortable and clumsy . I read that she has never been involved in backwoods life. never hunted or fished. She made the story more credible with this show. ---

I have no interest in watching her show. On the other hand, a sitcom starring Tina Fey as Palin would be can’t miss TV. ---

My primary interest was to confirm that liberals are more fascinated by Palin than they would wish. > > Man was I ever wrong. Well, if you makes you happy, I actually am pretty interested in Sarah Palin. I read (well, listened to the audiobook version of) _Game Change_ by Heilemann and Halperin a few months ago, and I thought the section about her nomination and preparation for the race was the best and most interesting part of the book.
