Sarah Palin Fails To Find Buyer For Latest TV Show
Telegraph(UK) ^ | December 13, 2011 | Nick Allen

Sarah Palin Fails To Find Buyer For Latest TV Show Sarah Palin has so far failed to find a buyer for her latest television show idea in a further sign that her star is on the wane.

In the last few years Sarah Palin has made millions of dollars from two books and numerous public appearances By Nick Allen 13 Dec 2011

The former Republican vice presidential candidate's new proposed foray into reality TV would focus on her husband Todd's career as a champion snowmobile racer. It would be a follow up to "Sarah Palin's Alaska," an eight-part travelogue which was sold to The Learning Channel (TLC) for more than $1 million an episode and first broadcast in November last year.

That show followed the former Alaska governor and her family around the state, including footage of her shooting a caribou on a hunting trip, going on a deep sea fishing expedition, and visiting a logging camp. It broke ratings records for a first episode on TLC, drawing more than five million viewers. However, it dropped to three million for the second episode and received mixed reviews, with entertainment industry bible Variety commenting "Boring? You betcha".

Discovery Communications, which owns TLC, has not bought the latest idea for a Palin show. Cable and satellite broadcaster A&E Networks, which bid for the previous series, is also reportedly not interested.

Did you pick up your case of the Undefeated DVDs for your Christmas presents? I heard Walmarts is selling them for $10 for a case of 20. Beat that!

If the Cardinals had walked off the field rather than play against Robinson, they would have been in deep do-do, because the Owners had decided to let Rickey try his experiments. Robinson had many friends in high places. Palin, not so many.

.
Beating one’s head against a brick wall is a natural part of our twisted election process.

I didn’t bother. I checked amazon and it doesn’t have close captioning or SDH subtitles. Oh well.

She left us at the so called alter/voting box!

Why would anyone support her after being taken for a ride to hell?

I didn’t want to buy it. I was just explaining what I would have to do to get it at my local Walmart.

That is true, and SP could have changed that. Their power and dealing,moneymaking would have been gone. They need to move the capitol from K street slime to Lebanon Kansas, the real center of the country. They should keep DC as the number one historic tourist attraction.

I would love to see K street bulldozed.

RE :"It won’t be a merry anyuthing for anyone next year if she doesn’t. There is no way the GOP can win this election with anyone but Palin. It’ll be an uphill battle even for her now though."

I will agree with you on one thing. We are screwed!

Do you have any idea how many tunnels and bunkers are attached to that giant phallic symbol?

I was wrong, it's just as prevalent and sick, maybe even more so.

You are too negative and edgy right now to think clearly. You cannot quit unless you enter the race. She never said she would run.

Get angry at the GOP elite, and the hateful Romney people that were on Mccain’s team trashing her all along because they were already thinking past Mccain to 2012, and they knew she would be the one to beat.

I’m thinking pretty clearly.

I think Palin has deeply damaged our nation’s future prospects.

She was poised to do wonderful things.

She walked away from destiny. Unfortunately, America will suffer as a result.

a successful, principled conservative leader.

Successful at what? She and McCain lost and then she quit. Her principles amounted to stringing her supporters along and pointedly refusing to let them know her intentions while she rang the register with books and TV shows. I don't begrudge her the path she took, or the money, but it's pretty clear she had no desire or stomach to engage. Sarah Palin's job is selling Sarah Palin. That's it.

That could well be the summation; time will soon tell.
