I don’t have cable, so I couldn’t watch anyway, but Palin has no interest to me and I find it appalling that people think she’s some kind of political commentator: she couldn’t ad lib a fart at a beaneating contest. ---

I, for one, will never forgive John McCain for foisting the bitch on an unsuspecting public. If she’d stayed local, she would have faded into obscurity by now. Fuck you, McCain. ---

Good news for you; it’s not a _cable_ channel. It’s available via the internet. So you _can_ get the Sarah Palin Channel for the low, low price of $9.95 a month, or $99.95 for a year. And there’s a two-week trial period. ---

Hell NO. She was the idiot mayor of Wasilla; tried to jerk books off library shelves; and a toad visually. And yes, I lived next door (so to speak) in Palmer AK while she was pulling these stunts. :mad: ---

I could easily vote for either 2 or 4. Cupcake Wars\*(shudder!)\* is still better, but I might check it out of someone points out something stupid and I want to see the whole thing for myself. ---

Good lord no. Sarah Palin anecdote - an old high school friend of mine is involved in television production and he worked on her previous show (she had some kind of reality show a few years back), so he spent a lot of time at her house working with her and observing how she acts. My friend is VERY conservative. He really wanted to like her. He told me it was incredibly disappointing to find out how she really behaves, he just could not stand her after that. ---

Despite the almost certain chance of her never uttering an intelligent phase, I would probably throw $9.95 at it just for a month’s worth of giggles. Besides, I don’t need to eat any more cupcakes. ---

A former boss of mine worked under her when she was mayor of Wasilla. He also was a conservative. He rarely swore, but he referred to her as “that fucking cunt”. ---
