I think that the fact that Sarah is getting paid big bucks for these 8 shows, made millions on her first {and probably her second} book{s] is the top item that is making both libs and many pubbies froth at the mouth.
We know that that rinos fear her and there are many on FR, that have an irrational contempt for her. These FR naysayers usually start like this, "I love Sarah, BUT, .......... {you can fill in the blank, since we've all seen it too many times}.
I normally jump into those posts but they are wearing me out, and there is no changing of their minds.

More aptly, the only profitable campaign commercial ever.

Any idea how many of us watched last night? Don't know about last night, but the 1st week was a records breaker at nearly 5 million viewers.

rove after taking one look at this show understood how it would destroy the Establishment. which explains why he tried to preempt it and trash it out of the gate. sadly many people heard him and allowed him to set their narrative for it instead of allowing an open mind on it. but the show is rapidliy showing the lie to Rove’s words.....
Palin = 1
rove = 0

Wife and I did. Lots of fun. Story about baby shower at shooting range, and how she loves to tell the story ‘cause it gets the liberals’ all wee-weed up,’ Todd’s starpower (Alaskans want pix with the 4 time IronDog champ), ‘take your prom hair home, mom’, on and on.
She even has GOP elephants on her workout socks. = )

Im sure it is exploding some Republican insiders heads too. Hilarious. Exactly. And the GOPer's heads that are being exploded are harrumphing that this isn't presidential and that it will kill her chances. Isn't that what they want?! Then exactly why are they worried and hyperventilating rather than being happy. [??] If it is so bad, she's taking herself out of contention, right?
And now we have Frank Rich howling from the Left that Sarah is being paid to conduct her POTUS campaign!

Thank God for Sarah. Both shows were a real breath of fresh air in the real American. Can't wait for the rest of the shows. Bristol was fantastic. What a gutsy girl.

How many other candidates get a multi-hour campaign commercial, get a cable station to foot the bill, AND get a seven figure salary for filming it?Yep...she sure is dumb as a fence post /s

I enjoyed when they were on that fishing boat, and Sarah said to Bristol something like ‘Bristol, there’s a lesson here — there are a lot of fish in the sea”
It’s quite a good show. Beautiful scenery, good looking people that are entertaining while at the same time wholesome. And Sarah’s the natural-born star.
Regardless of the production expense of the show, TLC will get its costs paid by the sponsors. Nothing out of order here.

I watched it last night for the first time and it is a nice peek at the life of the Palins...
The only criticism is the fact that Obama is completely over-exposed and I hope Sarah does not do the same thing.

More "expensive" than CBS' coordinated effort with the DNC when they ran John Kerry's ad "Fortunate Son," timed to coincide with Dan Rather's story on George Bush's forged Texas Air National Guard records?
