Advertisers "rolling their eyes and laughing" during presentation for "Sarah Palin's Alaska".

Cenk Uygur from the Young Turks has this breaking story.



I don't believe anybody with half of a brain had any doubts this thing would be stinker.

I am just amazed that even TLC would fall for the hype.

  1. For more Sarah Palin laughs, go to this site which tries to make the case that the Sarahcuda is more knowledgeable about nukes than President Obama.

  2. Well this is just exactly what they deserve. I hope they lose big time and pull the damn thing totally. When are people going to learn to quote one of my favorite people on the planet, Keith Olbermann, "the woman is an idiot". She just is and I don't care how much somebody pays her or how much coaching and rehearsing, just an idiot screeching is all they are going to get.

    The petitions against the show haven't even been completed and presented to the network and advertisers yet, so expect that to further tarnish the shine on this Learning Channel goof.

    I sure would hate to be the person(s) who okayed the deal because I think their professional standing is taking quite a hit.

    The odds that the show will be a huge hit are not good.

    Putting all the environmental, ethical, and political factors aside, and just focusing on her - who in their right mind would think that voice would be able to carry a show for even half an hour. After a few moments, most people are frantically looking for the remote to get away from the sound of Palin's voice, let alone what she is saying.

    There are no nukes in Alaska - we have 2300 here in Washington State.

    Now the big boys see that she is toxic, the rest will follow. Where is Trig. Most elitist have nannies to be bothered with their brats. Any one heard from Meg. We need to get to her. I don't see that they (Palin) was smart enough early in her trechery to have Meg in the bag air tight.

    I can only hope that news of her terrible performance at the Wine & Beer convention gets around and people start telling each other that she is not worth $100,000. Especially with all of those recently revealed prima donna conditions.

  7. Her minions will never see (or care about) her vacuous nature. But as she puts herself out there more and more, others will. This is another incremental positive.

  8. Ooohhh to have been there to see this.

    It still amazes me that just when I think she's gone as low as she can go, she and her family are able to even set the bar lower.

    What's next? The Apprentice or Dancing with the Stars...?(Oh, I hopehopehope...I think I'd actually watch those for once...just to see her fail...)

  9. learning and $arah are mutually exclusive. meet the press, face the nation, or sit down and shut up. no one wants to hear your screeching bullshit.

    I agree with Sunshine 1970. Sarah has a future on TV all right. After Dancing and Apprentice, she can continue on "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here." She can also make guest appearances on other shows. She can go into LA Ink's tattoo shop and get a tramp stamp. The Deadliest Catch can take her fishing. Maybe one of the motorcycle shows will take her out for a ride; it's almost like snow machining but without the snow. We are all waiting for the Mythbusters episode when Trig's birth parents are revealed. Don't know if Sarah will be on that show or not.

    As to Meg, anyone consider that she might have had a "severance pay" agreement with a confidentially agreement?

    I bet that is something that would entice Palin to part with some of ill-gotten gains.

    Palin may rail against "sit down and shut up," but I bet she enforces it with her intimate circle.

    I used to always watch Leno over Letterman, but since his Palin interview, which I did not have the stomach to watch, the show just has that slimy feel to it now. I tried watching a few times since her appearance, but just can't. Letterman seems so much more polished.

    Her book WAS a dud. It was filled with lies and fantasy, not to mention the whiny victimy thing. Palin is proof that you don't need talent, brains, writing ability, honesty, or ethics to be rich and famous. She's rich and famous, but half the world is laughing at her. She epitomizes the lowest common denominator. Fame and money aren't everything, even though some people apparently think they are the yardstick for determining who is important in this world. Out there in the real world, there are actual good and great mothers, good and great authors, people who work hard at their jobs, people who live ethical lives, people who devote their lives to helping others, people who think and study and research, people who care, people who sacrifice for others. And then there is Sarah. How's that delusional worship thing workin' out for ya?

I'm just glad Oprah came out of it alright, but that doesn't make it good that she had her on in the first place! Scott Brown and others are wise to steer clear of her.

    The people who were asked to put up some money for Sarah's show just laughed. They obviously saw right through her, and how little talent or knowledge she has.

    What Sarah does have is a really irritating voice. They have been played selected snippets of her Boston Scream Pie, excuse me, Tea Party. Nails on the blackboard! "And when they say 'Yes we can' we're gonna say 'Oh no you can't."
    That's just plain stupid.

    So, if advertising and TV types can see that it isn't worth investing in 8 I Scream Alaska shows, why is every station continuing to cover her? She is a laughing stock, a joke, and it looks like even the folks at Discovery weren't in on it.

    And, I hope everyone realizes that the pretty red leather jacket that Sarah wore in Boston is an identical twin exact match to one of those expensive donated special wardrobe numbers from 2008. Ooops, did Sarah forget to return the jacket? Did she buy it from the charity resale shop where it was donated? Or is it like Chuck Heath said about kids always losing their underwear. I had this pretty red leather jacket and I forgot which closet I put it in.

    In honor of April 15, Tax Day, that was a pretty red leather jacket and it looks as if it was a gift. Declared as income???

    Publishers Weekly reported that Palin's book sold 2.7 million copies by Dec 31, probably over 3 million now. Not exactly a dud.

    On a separate subject, WaPo reports that Tony Rezko gave Gov Blago's wife stacks of money. Wait until she gets on the stand and rats out Obama to save her hide.

    Mark Burnett will rue the day he met her...a lot of heads (maybe even his) are going to roll for this loss of around $10M. And I'll bet there's no escape clause for Discovery/TLC, either.

    The troll is still playing the densey lamey game about how many of Sarah's books were bought for their literary value, not as promos, gifts, surfaces to get a celebrity signature, discount twofers, etc. As for Blago's wife, ha ha, yeah right, Obama is quaking in his boots. Thanks for the comic relief, though with the week's usual assortment of crackpot discoveries about Ol' Bendy Quitty, we really don't need any more humor.

    You are right Anon 11:51,
    “Palin may rail against "sit down and shut up," but I bet she enforces it with her intimate circle“.

    Now what about the other BFF, Kristan Cole who is running the Alaska Fund Trust?
    What happened to the quarterly report as noted below… anyone anyone?

    “8. Will there be any disclosure of contributions and expenses?
    Yes. The Trustee will disclose on a quarterly basis the contributions as well as categories of expenses with amounts.”

    The entire Tea Party movement is a joke. Not a Sarah Palin joke, a GOP orchestrated operative stunt. There is a story at Politico about this issue, and it was the lead story on Keith Olbermann's Countdown. People who keep an eye on the media are filing complaints against Sean Hannity that he both orchestrates the Tea Party and then covers the Tea Party (there is something in the works for tomorrow).

    Considering that the Tea Party has fractured the GOP, runs candidates against the GOP, I'd say that was a plan that worked out very well. How nice that the woman with the screeching voice is their spokesperson.

    I wonder if this "unnamed source" is the same one that has all the "proof" about Trig's parentage that your readers have been waiting for since early last year. Just love all those "unnamed sources" with no proof attached whatsoever. I happen to doubt very much that advertising executives would just start laughing at such a meeting. Tht would be extremely unprofessional.

    As far as being a "prima donna" all speakers' contracts from the WSB state that their speakers travel first class and coming from Alaska that should be the norm.

    I wonder if anyone has dumpster dived for contracts referring to Democratic speakers? I guess that Bill Clinton, Al Gore et al. all walk to their speaking engagements and stay in a tent outside the speaking venue and use garage station facilities to clean up.

    Furthermore, since this is a market driven economy (at least for now) people can ask to be paid whatever they want and it is up to the payor to decide whether the payee is worth it or not.

  36. Just goes to show, one can have all the money in the world but still not be able to purchase talent or intelligence.

    She was graced with beauty, but really that's about it.

    Some are lucky enough to be graced with money, talent, looks and charm, but not her and it must burn her ass real good when she stops chattering long enough to take a good hard look at Sarah.

    She said she was quitting her job for the betterment of her state. It is clear now that it is the betterment of her bank account that she had in mind.

    It is also quite fascinating to see that people actually pay big money to hear speeches so devoid of content and specific ideas. In the few friendly interviews she has given, it is clear she has little depth of understanding on most of the issues she comments on.


    People talk about Palin's fee because they are amazed people pay so much and get so little. The depth or her ideas and comments are more suited to refrigerator magnets and bumper stickers.

    We have been watching her to see what she is about and what she has to offer to the country she professes to love so much. She has chosen to promote anger and hatred toward people she disagrees with while she fill her pockets with money. That she is able to do this, is the real reason why she loves this country.

    I'm glad that she started leaving her children at home so they can live their own normal lives and not have to be around all that hate speech.

    Sarah Teabag had the opportunity to go back to Alaska, add some depth to herself, and study up hard to get taken serious as a political entity - instead she sold out of the people of Alaska,to be a narcisstict opportunist and be the Bitter Queen of snark and snide,with that annoying sing-song screech..She deserves to be be totally ridiculed..I am totally offended by her lack of respect for our President. If she hadn't noticed, President Obama is very popular with world leaders. His conduct at the recent Nuclear summit was exceptional. She makes the US the laughing stock of the world that she is even considered seriously in the political arena..She IS an Idiot!

    Did you even read what Gryphon posted? He was not the one saying this about the ad buyers; it was Cenk Uygur of Young Turks that first reported it and there is a credit right above the video. I read about it on Huff Po before coming to Immoral Minority, so I was not surprised that Gryphon had picked it up. And yes, journalists and bloggers can have "unnamed sources" that tell the truth about what happens at sales conferences and other meetings. Unnamed sources have been around probably as long as there have been newspapers being published. It is an understood part of journalism that helps protect the person who is giving the information to the journalist from losing their job or being blacklisted.

    "The oldest terrain and rocks in the park are found near the park entrance, and are called the Yukon-Tanana rocks. These are shallow sediments with volcanic flows and intrusions (molten injections of rock) that formed in a very young Alaska, about 400 million years ago."
