Sarah Palin was not only playing the role of proud mama grizzly last night when she sat in the front row cheering on daughter Bristol Palin in the finale of 'Dancing With The Stars' -- she was also playing casting director, lobbying the show's producers to consider signing up her Tea Party pal Christine O'Donnell for next season.
"Sarah is a genius at marketing herself and her message," an insider tells me. "She doesn't care about all the old rules about how political people are meant to behave and act. Sarah believes the best way is to go directly to the people -- use Twitter, Facebook, 'Dancing With the Stars' and 'Entertainment Tonight' to get potential voters excited and leave 'Meet The Press' and those boring Sunday morning shows to the old-school politicians."
And with the success of her own reality show, 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' and Bristol stunning everyone with the fact that she is still in the 'Dancing' competition, Sarah might be onto something. Plus, who else are the 'Dancing' producers going to get after Bristol?
"Christine is not a bad idea at all," one ABC executive tells me. "After Kate Gosselin and Cloris Leachman, O'Donnell would fit right in. She certainly would be so controversial that the amount of press attention and buzz the show would get would be huge. Plus, you know they would make her dance in a witch's hat with a broomstick."
Sarah, if this political thing doesn't work out for you, you should think about a career in casting. Seriously.

LOL. Maybe you’re a troll. You certainly suffer from PDS, because you ought to know that TLC replays the show several times during the week in the same time slot M-F so viewers now know that they don’t have to watch it on Sunday night exclusively.
Like DUH!
Yea../sarc
Let Bristol be
Viewership dropping significantly after the first episode of any new show is a very common occurrence.
Aren’t you getting a little old to talk like a Valley Girl?
Actually some great people have won the show....not a thug among them...lol.
Last week had some football games on too and she managed 5 mil. I think that 3 million is about right. The extra two million last week was for curiosity sake.
Especially Sunday Night football — a great game this last time.
Yes, they have,,no thugs that I have noticed..Hehehe!
Oh, my gosh. Low blow. ‘Duh’ is an accepted part of the language. It says so much.
Instead of saying, ‘that statement is so ridiculous it makes me want to stick a fork in my neck, or maybe your neck, you can just say ‘duh.’
Pretty much says it all.
Tokyo Rove sighting!
She hasn't done any yet, so you can put the "concern" away.
I'll second that emotion.
Fer a newb, you sure have a way with words! ;^)
Nam Vet
+1! Full Agreement - O'Donnell is awful, her judgment terrible (I'm not a witch? Seriously?). She is a lifetime live off the campaign / political system person. She will now do all she can to live off being a political loser. And the MSM will push and tout O'Donnell all they can, as they know she comes off awful for the "conservative/GOP" movement.
Now that you asked, No, I’m not, stupida!
Thanks very much, altura!
Whack the troll.
People are much more tired of that compulsive liar, and God-awful, incompetent Governor, Mitt Romney.
Where in this story is Sarah quoted as saying this?
