A little sneak peek at "Sarah Palin's Alaska".
Yes that is indeed Palin's voice you hear. I am guessing it was taken from the audio version of her "Going Rogue" book. To be clear, those are Sarah's words, every one of them. And THIS is the woman that TLC has chosen to host a show about Alaska's wilderness.
I believe that most of the viewing public will have a response similar to the one expressed in this science writer's open letter to Discover over Palin's show.
This is a woman who would destroy the very "nature" that the series you're paying her $1.2 million an episode is supposed to showcase! Did you forget about her terrible environmental record? Did you forget that she campaigned to no only allow the aerial hunting of wolves, but pay people for it? Fought tooth and nail to remove protections animals like Beluga Whales and Polar Bears? That she openly and unabashedly desires to tear apart the wilderness of Alaska to fill it with oil platforms? This is a women who flaunts her disbelief of scientific consensuses like evolution and climate change! She is the picture of everything that you are supposed to be in the fight against.
I repeat - how could you?!
Laughing at Sarah is always cathartic but we must also remember that she is a vessel for putting forth some very dangerous ideas to make them more palatable to the public at large. With that sing songy voice of hers Sarah can deliver lies and misinformation in a way that seems completely lacking in malice, when in fact it is packed with venom. Just ask Barack Obama, Levi Johnston, or the Alaska bloggers.

That "Ah Shucks" voice is almost more annoying than her high pitched screeching, gerbils in your inner ear voice.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a polar bear would think Sarah tasted good with mashed potatoes? I figure she'd be stringy, tough and bitter.
But interestingly enough I heard no mention of crunch wraps. Just eating your way through Alaskan wildlife and nothing else--huh, Sarah?
You seem down in the dumps this morning.
ReplyDeleteMore than usual that is.
I thought the audio was a mash up of words strung together to be funny....it is really her voice for the audio book of going rogue?
ReplyDeleteGood grief she's awful.
Fox lawyers have got to be figuring a way out of her contract by now! Huffpo has a piece on ratings for the special....in a nut shell, not great.
Bravo Science Blog!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this!
The video above comes from the staff of NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me."
ReplyDeletePerhaps Sarah might have a "Steve Irwin" moment with a pack of wolves...on camera...live.
ReplyDeleteThat last comment about "Steve Irwin" moment was a bit distasteful. A lot of people are still not over his tragic end.
ReplyDeleteThat said, Palin would never, ever put herself in danger, would she? Nah, anyone who spends as much as she does on plastic surgery, makeup, and wigs wouldn't endanger her thin veneer.
I am glad she hasn't, but I am surprised she hasn't spent any or her ill-gotten gains on vocal lessons. But then, those require focus and work - which we all know she seems allergic to - if she can't buy it and have someone else put it on her or do it for her or to her, then she's probably not interested.
Thanks for the the clip - though her grating voice tends to haunt you for hours afterward like eating too much garlic or spicy foods.
What makes people think Palin is going to be out and in the nature and wildlife? It's going to be Palin narrating and introducing stories filmed by others. Just like the Fox News special the other night. And don't forget, Discovery says the show is slated for their TLC channel, with shows like Hoarders, Cake Boss, Toddlers and Tiaras. Their tabloidy channel.
ReplyDeleteThat's for real????
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for those animals........run, run faster...ooops too late........
ReplyDeleteShe says foot long hot dogs twice. Must really like them.
ReplyDeleteThis is a woman who would destroy the very "nature" that the series you're paying her $1.2 million an episode
ReplyDelete??????????????????????????????
Sarah is NOT getting paid $1.2 million per episode. Charlie Sheen is the highest paid man on TV and even he makes less.
Lets not forget people liked Steve Irwin, but he did stupid things...
ReplyDeletePeople don't like Sarah, I would love to see her next to the wolves mashed potatos...heh!!!
But they have stressed this will be like a "Earth" show...so it will be footage with her grating, chalk on a blackboard, puncture dogs eardrums sound!
If there is any live footage it will be of the Rill people of Wasilla Wal Mart! Grabbing a crunchwrap supreme...
Check out Greta Van Scientology's blog on Fox about the poor ratings of Sarahs shoe. Twist, spin and denial. Sarah would step on her and take her time slot in two secs. I bet Sarah is dismissing all the criticsm too. It's really too bad she's incapable of taking it constructively. That's how normal people improve. But Sarah believes she is a Supreme blessed being connected to God.
ReplyDeleteShe's perfect in every single way and needs no stinking constructive criticism from the lane stream media! You betcha!! Everyone who says something negative about the show like BORING are those darn lame media people and they are jealous of Sarah! Yeah right!!!
I know people on the right who watched it and thought it it was a stupid snoozer. Sometimes feedback is truthful Sarah & Greta and has nothing to do with politics. The real problem is mrs palin is OVER EXPOSED and most of the country is plain sick of her.
Sarah thinks foot long hot dogs occur in nature. Part of that creationism stuff or is it cretin stuff, not sure.
ReplyDelete@Angela: Ha! "She'd be stringy, tough and bitter", just like an overcooked old hen! And, Watch Sarah Palin "eating (her) way through Alaskan wildlife" would be a great promo for the show, you betcha!
ReplyDeleteI just realized, by her boring show, that Sarah has to keep getting more are more outrageous and snarky in order to remain on the national scene. That is all that is keeping her there. When she tries to do normal shows she does not have the ability or the personality that caries the show. Her great ability is to be the "evil witch", the snarky bad girl, the hate monger. Any other thing she tries to do is unsuccessful. She is stuck in her hateful personality if she want to continue on the national stage. We as a country have to reject this, but it is so hard not to look at the train wreck as gryphen says.
ReplyDeleteWhat charming idea
