Much of the Wall Street Journal's piece on Sarah Palin's new show on the Sportsman Channel focuses on her fear of taking a bad picture.

What Sarah Palin apparently considers a "good" picture.

So today this article from the WSJ came out.

They ask her the usual questions about her views on the new show, her views on politics, hunting, the family, you know the drill.

However the first part of the article focuses on something that we know Palin REALLY cares about. Her appearance: 

Sarah Palin is walking through a suite in the Peninsula New York Hotel in midtown Manhattan trying to find the great outdoors. The former GOP vice presidential candidate is being photographed before the launch of her new reality series, "Amazing America," which features human-interest tales about outdoor adventures, ranging from a blacksmith championship to a car race among pastors. But the suite doesn't even have a landscape painting. She finally finds a window to pose in front of, but it's facing a brick wall, not the wilderness. 

Crammed into two tiny rooms with eight other people—including her husband and two handlers—Ms. Palin doesn't want to be "burned" by unflattering photographs, which has happened in the past, she says. Wearing a V-neck shirt, black skinny jeans and a glittering "Girls with Guns" belt and buckle, she also doesn't want to wear the camouflage jacket that the photographer has brought for her, nor will she succumb to his French charm. She certainly doesn't want to perch on any furniture. 

As the photographer clicks away, Jason Recher, a former George W. Bush aide and her longtime aide, tries to move things along. "Next frame, next frame, next frame," he says, glancing over the photographer's shoulder. Ms. Palin has a busy schedule this day. She has had back-to-back meetings and appearances, and over the course of the hourlong interview and photo shoot, she drinks several glasses of Diet Coke.

Gee I wonder which photos she feels "burned" her?

Personally I can't think of a one.

The article does explore a few other areas of course.

Here is her answer as to why she did not run in 2012:

"Too busy," she says quickly. "Young family, busy family, lots going on, and today there's still a lot going on."

Oh yeah, that was the reason. It certainly couldn't have anything to do with the fact that she could not weather any serious media scrutiny or answer a simple question without notes, a teleprompter, or a hidden earpiece to provide her the answers, right?

On government surveillance:

 "Snowden isn't the problem!" she says. "The American government spying on its own people is the problem!" She finishes her thought by saying, "The smaller the government, the bigger the people, and this show talks about big, bold, beautiful America."

Notice how she fails to mention that it was HER party that started the domestic surveillance  program, and that there was not a word against it from her, or any other Republican, until President Obama took office.

At the end of the interview they finally talk her into having her picture taken with the camouflage jacket:

Ms. Palin's own defenses have slightly weakened over the course of the hour, so she finally agrees to put on the camouflage jacket. Standing in front of a white screen next to the bathtub, she holds her lapels and alternates between a tough-lower-lip-jut and a nervous glance at her strategist. "I think it's too big," she says of the jacket, adding, "I wanted to wear black." Mr. Recher seconds this opinion. He wants to get her out of the marble bathroom so that he can whisk her down the hall to her next appointment.

So essentially what we learn from this interview is that Palin is still incredibly vain, continues to lie about why she has refused to run for office, and that Jason Recher is still able to speak with his lips firmly attached to Palin's wrinkled ass.
