WTF? And the Concerning Part Is That You Know Plenty of People Are Going to Watch This!


The first picture above is a scene from Sarah Palin's new TLC reality show ("Sarah Palin's Alaska"), which is set to debut on November 14. A new trailer from the show purports to give a flavor for what the show's all about. That basically comes down to two things, as best as I can tell: (1) Sarah hanging around outdoors; and (2) Sarah hanging around indoors. Exciting stuff, no?

According to the trailer and linked article, if you've ever wondered what it would be like to see Sarah Palin boating, hiking and riding on a dog sled, then this show's for you. And if you are in need some motherly wisdom and advice to pass along to your own kids, then Sarah offers little gems like this: "No boys upstairs," she tells the youngest daughter.

Palin sums up the show by crowing, "This is flippin' fun!" And I do suppose that's one way of putting it, much in the same way that activities like sleeping and yawning can be described as "fun" if you happen to be tired.

But alas, I have no doubt that plenty of fools across the country will watch this silliness (including plenty of hateful liberals looking for new Palin material). As a result, it's definitely a candidate to become the next reality series that I cover/recap on this blog. After recently enduring nine long episodes of The Real Housewives of DC, I guess you might say that I'm just a glutton for punishment.
