The military porn show, "Stars Earn Stripes" lost over a third of its audience in only its second week. The Palin curse lives!

Courtesy of TV By the Numbers:

On NBC, the second episode of Stars Earn Stripes garnered a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating, down 35% from last week's 1.7.

What? Do you mean that NOBODY is interested in watching a  program about a bunch of third rate "celebrities" playing at being soldiers, while pimping wach other like the second coming of "Rambo?"  But, but it even features "Macho man" Todd Palin!

How could it lose?


Well yeah, I'm sure THAT didn't help, but let's face it the entire premise for the show was insulting to the military, to the audience, and to the families whose loved ones have lost their lives in various wars to protect this nation.

If NBC had any sense at all they would pull this crap from the air before next week, and save the participants the embarrassment of watching their viewer numbers shrink to the same levels once enjoyed by the likes of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" and "Life's a Tripp."

Hell even Nick Lachey doesn't deserve THAT!

      "Nick said the show was 'a once in a lifetime experience.' Well, I know a terrific Army recruiter who can guarantee Nick a true 'once in a lifetime' experience," Clarke texted me.

      No stranger to the military himself, Clarke served in Iraq in 2004 and is furious about the new NBC show.

      "As a combat veteran, I find that show is an insult to those who actually wear the uniform," Clarke wrote. "Every vet I know thinks the show is either a joke at best or offensive at worst. The show is DOA with the military, regardless of political affiliations. The producers are clearly tone deaf."

      Although Clarke said political affiliation has nothing to do with his outrage, his anger seemed focused on Lachey and not, say, Todd Palin, who is also a member of the cast.

      When asked to comment on Sarah Palin's husband, Cooper responded, "no more comment on this story from me. I'm currently in Tampa and focused on the RNC platform meetings."

    4. We need to remember palinbot producer Mark Burnett's name the next time he tries to sell us more of his wares - Next up not to watch ---- Survivor. I'd love to see him gather up a slew of aspiring pols and plant them in Wasilla, the mysterious place where political careers go to die. Last one standing gets to serve as Wasilla Mayor with an option of another stuffed ballot box to be named at a later date.

      This show needs to be taken off the air ASAP! And with a 35% drop in rating after 2 airing, (not to mention that there are re-runs during the week), I think this show is a NO GO!

    They weren't the first in the clan to appear in reality TV. Molly's first husband, Jack McCann was an Alaskan Bachelor (divorced) on a ridiculous dating show. But I think it planted the seed of envy and "starbursts" in simple Sarah, Todd and Bristol's heads.

    September 3, 2008

    The unexpected revelations around Sarah Palin's GOP veep nom announcement reached such absurdity this week that many political observers posited that, 'You just can't make this stuff up." It's like a political reality TV show. So, should we be surprised that Palin has an actual past connection to reality TV?

    It seems Palin once thought her brother-in-law's appearance on a show called "Looking for Love: Bachelorettes In Alaska" would help her campaign for 2002 AK lt. gov. But as the Anchorage Daily News reported, upon seeing the show, Palin thought better of it.

    ''Oh Lord,'' she said, after watching an episode of the show. ''My sisters and I watched it in horror.''

    Palin, it's worth noting, lost the GOP primary that year by fewer than 2K votes to a more seasoned opponent. So maybe her brother-in-law, furniture maker Jack McCain, proved an asset.

    Still - Sarah being Sarah, can't help but even take a dig at her ex-brother-in-law:

    Jack, who is scheduled to appear again even though he crashed a mountain bike in the first episode, is pretty cute and has a sense of humor, Sarah reports. ''He described his occupation . . . as an office environment consultant,'' she said.

    ''He sells furniture.''

    That group photo has Todd the pimp positioned so that he can easily be cropped out of the picture. Like he's just an afterthought. If you crop him out, the image is nearly perfectly balanced. And of all of these 'actors', Todd is the one that looks completely uncomfortable, out of his element. He has never held a gun like that. Event he women look more 'macho' in how they move and run and hold their guns.

    Todd Akin Claims He’s the Real Victim and Raises Money Off Legitimate Rape

    Todd Akin is claiming that he is the victim of his legitimate rape scandal, and now he is circulating a petition of support and trying to raise money off his comments.

    Hours after the deadline passed for him to withdraw from the Missouri Senate race, Todd Akin tweeted:

    "I apologized but the liberal media is trying to make me drop out. Please stand w/ me tonight by signing my petition at akin.org/still-standing'

    ...The real victims here aren’t the raped women who Todd Akin’s legitimate rape fantasy would force to carry their rapists’ babies. The real victims aren’t every woman who in Todd Akin’s America would lose the right to make the choice about whether or not to have a child. The real victim is Todd Akin, the entitled white man who believes it is his birthright to tell women want to do with their bodies.

    http://www.politicususa.com/todd-akin-claims-real-victim-raises-money-legitimate-rape.html

    Relax — By ‘Legitimate Rape,’ Todd Akin Just Meant When the Woman’s Not Lying About Being Raped

    All right, turns out we were all angry over nothing. When Todd Akin used the questionable phrase "legitimate rape," he was just trying to distinguish those rapes from the ones women lie about — you know, the false rapes.

    Seriously, how could we have been so blind?

    Akin appeared on Mike Huckabee's radio show today to provide some more clarification.


    You know, Dr. Willke has just released a statement and part of his letter, I think he just stated it very clearly. He said, of course Akin never used the word legitimate to refer to the rapist, but to false claims like those made in Roe v. Wade and I think that simplifies it….. There isn't any legitimate rapist…. [I was] making the point that there were people who use false claims, like those that basically created Roe v. Wade.

    Got it. Putting aside for a moment the fact that this once again demeans rape victims, suggesting there are so many false accusations that we have to actually present "legitimate rape" as such, this is shockingly stupid. What Akin's saying is that you can't get pregnant from a rape that didn't actually occur, which is a point even our dullest minds have already grasped.

    What Akin's not saying is that he still believes "legitimate rape" — on those rare occasions when the woman isn't faking it — does not usually result in pregnancy. This is simply not true.

    And Akin continues to cite Dr. Willke, the quack who helped popularize this bullshit.

    But this isn't about science. It's about the liberal media...

    Dear Todd Akin, Your/Your’re a Moron


    Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin, the Republican Senate candidate who believes uteri have a rape exception, has launched a "Still Standing" website asking supporters to sign a petition. Actually, he's launched it three times, because whoever is writing his websites for him doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're."

    When it launched an hour or so ago, the page encouraged supporters to "Tell McCaskill That Your Standing With Todd Akin!" After literally every single person on Twitter made fun of the Akin campaign for that error, the website was updated: "Tell McCaskill That Your're Standing With Todd Akin!"

    The page has now been fixed. "Tell McCaskill That You're Standing With Todd Akin!" it reads. Immediately below: "I made a mistake. I used the wrong words in the wrong way."

    Oh, and there was a picture of a fetus in the upper-right that was mysteriously... oh, what's the right word for when fetuses are removed? In any event, Todd Akin's campaign killed the fetus graphic.

    Here are screenshots of all three iterations of the site:

    "Life's a Tripp" has never enjoyed having as large a viewing audience as "Stars Earn Stripes." I mean the largest audience for Bristol's show was the premiere episode and that was a paltry 750,000 viewers, by the second week the show only had 415,000 in the second half hour. Bristol's show wasn't even earning a Nielsen rating of .1 which is pathetic. While I agree that Stars Earn Strips is pure trash I doubt NBC will scrap it. It's nothing more than end of the summer filler and a 1.1 rating is pitiful but it's a lot higher than Bristol's disastrous show. Stars Earn Stripes won't be renewed for a second season, nor will "Life's a Tripp" for that matter. The Palin family is so damn fake, the more reality TV shows they do, the more they expose themselves for the frauds that they are. Can't wait to see the epic fail when Bristol returns to the dance floor for DWTS ALL Stars. Bristol sucked horribly during season 11 and there's no way she will get any kind of sympathy vote the second time around.

Usually Greta can keep Baldy on script but NOT tonight! Baldy was like a spinning top...or the Tasmanian She-Devil! She was whirling and spinning all over that studio..and when she stopped to catch a breath...then Greta would ask her something else and she was off again! Wait till y'all see this shit!

      Of course she looked terrible! Whatever drug cocktail she's taking is taking a serious toll on that....FACE! And Wallow did her usual shitty job on the wig but at least the fushia jacket was an okay color for her...but the giant ass Statue of Liberty pin on the lapel looked kind of weird!

      Another thing about that jacket...when the camera pulled back...Baldy looked like a man wearing a suit that is too big for their frame....and when she got excited she was jabbing that skeletal hand of hers that I swear she was close to doing a Beerfart on LIVE TV! She was really worked up!

      She was screaming at Greta about Akin... then she went on a rant of biblical proportions that I had to write this shit down...here it is word for crazy fucking word! Mind you the question Greta asked the fool was about Sarah Stillman but Baldy went off on Akin as if the man had stolen her METH stash or something!

      Greta: "Have you made a call to Sarah Steelman or do you intend to or have any advice for her tonight?"

      Baldy: "NO! Here's the "dill"...I also know my mission that I am on is to help and not to hurt...maybe Todd Akin needs to learn a little lesson from ME! He needs to know when to step back and wait to be invited to participant and not to invite yourself to the party (WOOO...could she be talking about herself or what!) what he's doing right now Greta (insert eye roll from Baldy) Bless his heart...he's inviting himself back into this...this general election that is coming up and he's gonna get defeated (this part she SHRIEKED) and that's unfortunate...that is why we have to think pragmatically (her Sesame Street word-of-the-day) about this and we have to think...what's another option...is it third party...let's go...the status quo must go...let's do what we can to get there".

      Whew...I'm exhausted just typing that! Well...Greta had had enough of the crazy loon because after that long winded word salad zippity do da from Baldy she says..."Governor...thank you...always nice to talk to you".

      Well...I think something must have penetrated that alcohol pickled brain of Baldy's that she must have fucked up...because I swear...she looked like she was about to BURST INTO TEARS! I kid you not! Watch the video...she looked like a 3 year old trying not to cry!

      She had a manic episode on live TV tonight and I'm glad I wasn't in that studio when the big red light turned off!

    16. Anon @ 10:18PM is right, Gryphen.

      A commenter "CheesyGrits" posted the following in the comment section of that Mediaite article:

      Sore loser law prevents primary losers from running again. Unless Akin steps down, MO is stuck with Akin. His opponents would need a new write-in candidate.

    Todd must have weak DNA. I don't see any of the Heath/Palin spawn that look related to him.

    Hollywood can do anything and make anything look real and super. Yet they couldn't convince anyone, other than Sarah Pacs, that Todd is anything much at all. what went wrong? The same old Palin curse?

    I am sure hopin they get a lot of media coverage as the face of Republican values. They will do more damage than a hurricane taking out all of Tampa and spoiling Mittens party.

    I watched the last few minutes where Wesley Clark tried to rev up some excitement by comparing Todd and his partner's score with the score of another team. What was interesting to me about the other team was the African American guy. The camera caught the African American guy looking mean, snarling and sweaty-- comparing to clean, crisp, nice Todd who was praying to stay on the show. They cut away for a commercial before Wesley could give us the scores. I knew who was staying and who would complete for the death match (or whatever they call that elimination round). Surprise. When they came back, Todd's team was ahead by 20 seconds. Right. That show is as fixed as DWTS.

      The Palins are pretty used to people cheating for them. I'm sure Todd made a deal when he signed his contract that he'd stay on the show for a certain number of episodes.

    Who’s Really Being Raped?

    Social conservative (asshat) Bryan Fischer says the person who’s really being raped is Todd Akin.

    Sarah Palin Urges Rep. Akin To Step Aside: ‘Take One For The Team’

    On Tuesday night, Sarah Palin paid a visit to Greta Van Susteren‘s show to discuss none other than Rep. Todd Akin. As many prominent Republicans have, Palin said she should’ve dropped out of the race — but also noted that her candidate of choice to go up against Sen. Claire McCaskill was the better choice.

    “I won’t gloat about it, but I was right,” Palin said of her support of Sarah Steelman. In the primary race, Palin endorsed Steelman, and during her appearance Tuesday night, still showed staunch support for the politician.

    And Akin? “You gotta know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em,” Palin said, underlining the need for Republicans to take back the Senate. And to do so, she said, “Missouri is a must-win state.”

    Making her stance clear, Palin said Akin should have exited the race — but now that the deadline’s passed, “we have to figure out what’s next.” As a possibility, she tossed out the idea of a third-party run for Steelman.

    The important thing, she said, is that they not pass up the opportunity in Missouri. “It’s doable, it’s winnable,” Palin added.

    Clearly frustrated by the how the situation has played out, Palin urged Akin to “take one for the team.” Again bringing up the prospect of a third-party candidate, she said, “We are going to do everything we can to not quash this opportunity that we have to take Missouri for the good of the country.”

    Take a look, via Fox News:

      A, she doesn't understand what quash means, and B, why does Mediaite go out of it's way to interpret and rewrite Palin? Her talk/transcript is a mess, but Mediaite makes it all presentable for y'all. Jerks.

    This blog is great because unlike other blogs it does original research and reportage. I have been watching an HBO special called "The Newsroom" and I like the premise- the "newsman" anchor is "on a mission to civilize." I think Gryphen and the Immoral Minority are exemplary in how they rise above petty things and deliver 'civilized' information. I wish there were more classy, civilized bloggers like this!!
