UPDATES WITH VIDEO: True Blood may be into its final season but the HBO show wasn’t treating its likely last Comic-Con appearance with anything but a ravenous appetite and a bit of bite. Specifically it was former GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin who got chomped. “She’ll weigh in on anything,” said cast member Kristin Bauer van Straten disdainfully of Palin revealing that she turned down the attempt HBO made to get the ex-Alaska governor on the show for its most recent broadcast. Besides a bloodbath at a fictional fundraiser for real-life Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the July 20 episode had several digs at the GOP including one character refer to herself as “a Republican c**t.”
Needless to say Palin wasn’t impressed.
“The brilliant minds of True Blood were brazen enough to ask me to do a cameo on their show, apparently so they could insult a conservative woman in person instead of just all conservative women in general,” Palin revealed to Breitbart earlier this week. “Their offer wasn’t presented in any negative way, perhaps to benefit from a surprise factor after the guest appearance. I turned them down anyway.” HBO confirmed that the offer in a statement that “casting directors for the show reached out to Ms. Palin’s representative but did not receive a response.”
“It’s sweet many many years later Warner Bros. At Comic-Con International 2014 that I’ve made her angry, I had fun doing it,” said the actress who plays vampire Pam Ravenscroft of first hearing Palin’s name and the way she reacted to the cabler’s offer. Van Straten’s remark got huge applause from the thousands in Ballroom 20 of the San Diego Convention Center.
Besides a brief mention of “Republicans” by van Straten on the panel in reference to the recent episode, there was nothing else said of real GOPers that have figured prominently in TB lately . This season has seen a reference to one character’s strained friendship with former First Lady Laura Bush and the Cruz fundraiser at the George W. Bush Presidential Library.
Ted Cruz ✔ @tedcruz
Of all the places I never thought to be mentioned, HBO's
True Blood would have to be near the top
of the list

Of course there was more than politics on the menu at Comic-Con for TB today. The cast sent most of the time remembering the past seasons and the end of the show. In fact, before today’s panel even started, the series showed a specially made Goodbye Sucks video starring key cast members. “It meant the world to us that you made this show what it was,” said Deborah Ann Woll to big cheers. With similar remarks from Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell and more, the short video ended with a blown kiss from Anna Paquin. Debuting on June 22, the last episode of the last season True Blood will air on August 24.
Now well into its seventh and last cycle, the SDCC vet brought not only Moyer, Paquin, Trammell, Woll and van Straten to the fans in the flesh, but also EP Brian Buckner along with cast members Nathan Parsons, Carrie Preston, Chris Bauer, Anna Camp, Nelsan Ellis and Rutina Wesley, who got huge applause as did her blood dripping satin jacket. The panel ended with a brief self-titled “True To The End” video previewing the final 5 episodes of True Blood. Check it out:

Palin should invite this bimbo to Alaska for some outdoor fun and moose chili.
She would be the frontrunner or the next Oprah, either one, with a single phone call or tweet. They’re ***holes but they’re not stupid. They know that.
Or Dick can take her hunting.
I’m telling you, this is the best summer I’ve had since I was a kid. The Democrats are stumbling around like a bunch of drunks trying to play hopscotch.
My Comcast cable ends either tonight at midnight or tomorrow night at midnight. I actually look forward to it. I’ve allowed that vast wasteland to damage my brain for way too long. Gonna’ go buy me an antenna tomorrow.
This woman’s 15 minutes are just about up. She’ll end up dead broke and hanging onto the hope that she’ll make a comeback. Meanwhile, Palin will continue to rake in the bucks by doing something worthwhile instead of playing make believe.
No class.....
True Blood is unwatchable crap, and I’ve liked a lot of HBO series.
It’s a show targeted for an audience of lonely fat Goth girls with Mop-N-Glo hair coloring and who smell like wet cookies mixed with urine-soaked ferret cage bedding. Posters of ‘The Cure’ all over her wood grain paneling bedroom walls in her dead grandmother’s dilapidated trailer home, and she watches the show surrounded by piles of dirty laundry she was gonna get around to once she can find someone to give her a ride to the coin-op Wash-O-Matic the next town over once her disability check comes in.
The males who watch the show are also obese neckbeard retards with ruddy blotchy skin and greasy ponytails who wish they could hook
up with a girl like that.
If this country had a lick of sense, they’d drone-strike Comic-Con. These people were supposed to succumb to rubella and yellow fever back in the olden days. Darn medical scientific advancement...
Dayum! Next time let us know what you think.
I like the way you think!
I wouldn’t accept the invitation either.
If forced to go, I would spit on you.
Her headboard should carry a warning label...
Her next part will be on National Geographic.
She will be playing the role of the little fish sucking on the big sharks butt.
Seriously— I never heard of that show— never mind the actress. I guess I’m out of the mainstream. Fine with me.
You know the braindust who thought up that disgusting line meant it for Palin and she didn’t take the bait. Joke’s on them.
Sarah lives rent free in their heads. Love. It. :)
C’mon, dude! Don’t hold back!
Precisely!!!!
Thanks!
