Flippin’ embarrassing? You betcha!
Boston Herald ^ | 11/15/10 | Jennifer C. Braceras

Posted on 11/15/2010 10:38:04 AM PST by teddyballgame

Sarah Palin has officially “jumped the shark.”

Last night’s premier of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” will be remembered as the moment the once-promising, conservative darling crossed over into the absurd.

Part Alaska tourism promo, part window into the family Palin, TLC’s eight-part series features clips of the former governor at home in gym shorts and shots of the family enjoying the great outdoors while she calls out folksy comments like, “this is flippin’ fun!”

If that’s not enough, Palin takes Kate Gosselin (of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” fame) camping in the Alaska wilderness - the two women reportedly didn’t get along (Kate, it seems, is a bit of an indoor cat).

Conduct unbecoming a former governor and vice presidential

She is a real live NE Lib Repub elitist. A true Palin hater.

Jennifer C. Braceras ’89 (communication), a newly appointed trustee who was named one of Massachusetts top 10 lawyers in 2000 and is the mother of four, enjoys being a contrarian. For starters, she is a Republican in a Democratic state and likes it that way. "If I lived in Alabama, I'd probably be a Democrat," Braceras says, noting too that politics has no place in the trustees’ boardroom. I don't care if someone is liberal or conservative. We're there because we care about the university."

Yeah, Palin didn’t do anything classy like give the Queen of England an i-pod full of her own speeches, give the UK PM a cheap set of DVD’s he can’t even play, kowtow to a bunch of crooked Arab sheiks, send world’s leading anti-Semite Ahmanutjob a birthday card, give the Russians a giant model of a re-set button with the wrong word on it, double the unemployment rate, quadruple the national debt, “win” a Nobel Prize for not being George W. Bush...

Need we go on?

This show is one of th dumbest things I’ve ever watched.

I’d vote for Jack Osbourne (Ozzy’s son) for President before I’d vote for Palin at this point.

That a person with a PR agency, and a background in TV news as an on air personality, would allow such a show on the air is beyond comprehension.

More bitching from the sidelines. So what about Palin’s show? She’s clearly enjoying life with her family and putting a positive spotlight on Alaska. This will have little to do with whether she has a successful run for President.

I wouldn’t blame her a bit if she turned it down; why give up a great life along with a massive amount of influence as an outsider, and subject yourself to the life-draining experience of governing an increasingly ungovernable country?

I hate to say it, but I wasn’t terribly impressed with the show. They should change the title to Alaska’s Sarah Palin.

I like Sarah Palin, but I really think she’s very close to over-exposure.

I think Michelle Bachman has more class. I like her. Can you see Michelle doing a show like this? I can’t.

I enjoyed it. I wonder what the ratings are?

Me too.

I checked at Nielsen Ratings and couldn't find any info, tried yahoo and google and still no info.

Anybody know the ratings?

They would have to figure out how to mount the teleprompter to the mountain so Obama could talk.

Exactly. Before the wreck put my wife in a wheelchair, she was just like Sarah Palin.

She still has me take her to the river to go fishing.

They were using a clip of Sarah/Kate as much as two months back when hawking the show. I saw it at least once.

I saw a little bit of it too.

There was nothing wrong with it, really. But I guess the issue might be does it convey a “presidential bearing” whatever that might be.

Like it or not, that is an issue in people’s minds.

I watched the show... and I was frankly a little embarrassed for Palin.

She came across as a wannabe outdoors-man and not the real deal like Todd (man that dude is as real as it gets).

Now there is a difference between a wannabe and a pretend outdoors-man. A wannabe .. actually WANTS to be an outdoors-man but it doesn't really fit into their schedule(Bush was this type too). A pretender on the other hand actually hates the outdoors and wants nothing to do with it but will in certain instances that are advantageous to them pretend that they like the outdoors in order to seem like “one of the little people” (Gore and Kerry were this type, total FAKES)

I really wish this had been more of a documentary and less of a reality show... I personally think it hurt Palins chances of becoming president.

The hatred directed towards Sarah Palin never ceases to amaze. Liberal hatred is par for the course, liberals always have hated any woman who actually looks and dresses like a woman. As one of those women, I am delighted at the liberal (and other neanderthal) anger right now.
