The purpose of Sarah Palin’s visit to Los Angeles wasn’t solely to appear on Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.” No, because nothing crappy happens without being a part of something larger and crappier, she’s also shopping a TV “docu-drama” about Alaska with reality show kingpin Mark Burnett.
Sarah Palin, TV producer? Multiple sources confirm that Palin and uber-reality show producer Mark Burnett have been making the rounds in Hollywood this week to pitch a TV docudrama about Alaska. One source called it a “planet-Earth type look” at Palin’s home state. The former candidate for the vice presidency was seen leaving ABC today with Burnett, and an insider confirmed that she met with reality topper Mike Darnell yesterday at Fox (where she and her family ended the day by visiting American Idol. Palin stayed in the green room). She also stopped by CBS [yesterday] and plans to meet with NBC Universal TV Chairman Jeff Gaspin [today]. [EW]
The easy thing to do here would be to lash out against Palin in Hollywood simply because she’s Sarah Palin and a naturally divisive topic. But you know what? I feel better with her in L.A. than I do with her in Washington. And while I’d still prefer it if I never had to see her or hear her voice again, if that’s not an option, then I’ll settle for where she’ll do the least damage. Kinda like having a retarded kid in a china shop.
…too soon?

With stories that disgust me from EW, I always read it phonetically. As in, “Palin to get TV show? Ew. Gross.”
This is completely involuntary.
“But you know what? I feel better with her in L.A. than I do with her in Washington.”
Couldn’t agree more.
I’m adamantly opposed to her very existence, but if this show moves forward then they’d be fools to call it anything other than “Palin Around”. The stupid wordplay has to be too irresistible.
She fits much better with the retards in Hollywood than the retards in Washington.
Also, while she’s there, she can do some porn.
She’s pitching a show, and here I am pitching a tent.
I’ll show myself out.
Actually, I’d love it if Hollywood could exert its corrupting influence on her. Three short weeks in this town and she’ll be mainlining heroin produced from Osama bin Laden’s own farm, having gay abortions with the illegal immigrant poolboy (that took yer jaab), and finally helping us pinko-communist-fasco-nazis spread the global warming hoax so we can steal from hard-working Americans and give it to the welfare queens who are running ACORN.
Meanwhile, TLC just issued their “Have 10 Babies Get the Reality Show Free” card to Bristol Palin.
has anyone ever seen an actual china shop?
LL, it’s where I met Bull from Night Court!
/shows self out

Wow, I really can’t add to that!
You forgot that latte-sipping Hollywood liberals will corrupt her into giving all her guns to pregnant 13-year-old black girls, Zack.
completes right-wing paranoia checklist
Fuck you, cunt.
Sorry, I typed the first thing that came to mind.
Gun-toting, slutty flight attendant looking former governor with her lazy husband, retarded baby and 17 year old teenage daughter and her illegitimate child fathered by a Playgirl centerfold, all in the wilds of Alaska? It’ll make Jon and Kate plus 8 look like the fucking Brady Bunch.
I’m surprised TLC hasn’t given her a blank check yet.
I’m with Ufford (and leather). In D.C. she’s dangerous. In Hollywood she’s just irritating and easily ignored. Better she’s making lousy teevee than making lousy policy.
You pretty much undermined your whole argument from last week about how retarded no longer has much to do with describing special needs individuals. But hey, copy a Family Guy joke if you must; I hear Peter King loves that show.
/In an asshole mood. Generally like your work.
The show should be called Parahsalin’ with Sarah Palin.
I think the show should be called “Nalin Palin”…oh wait..
@Steam Train: Thanks for the valid critique and the underhanded compliment. Nice of you to show up at my work and contribute only when you feel like being a dick. Makes my job so much more pleasant.
I would love to see her with her own show, hoping she gets one.
Every time obama speaks I cringe, have you ever noticed how stupid he sound when he does not have a teleprompter by hid side, he makes Bush sound like a prodigy.
