Well inviting Donald Trump to do that interview finally got Sarah Palin the attention that she so craves. It wasn't good attention, but it WAS attention.

Okay well as you know I sat through this entire thing last night and live blogged until my eyes started to bleed.

So I think all of you know what I thought. (Oh yeah, you know.)

However I thought you might enjoy hearing what others thought.

Salon had this to say: 

On Friday’s episode of a program whose title isn’t the least bit ironic, “On Point with Sarah Palin,” the former Alaskan governor and failed vice presidential candidate conducted an interview with Donald Trump in which the pair of strong American patriots did little more than whine about the unfairness of it all.

Gawker titled their coverage as "Loser Interviews Hater" which should give you some impression of their opinion. Here's my favorite line from the article: 

In one of the most simultaneously bleak and fawning ten minutes of television I have ever seen, former candidate for Vice President of the United States and current off-brand Fox News (OAN) personality Sarah Palin interviewed everyone’s favorite screaming steamed carrot, Donald Trump.

it really does not get much better than that does it?

NBC News characterized the interview as "lobbing softballs," while Rolling Stone called out Palin for "gushing." (Yeah, I'll bet she was!)

The Daily Beast lobbed perhaps one of the worst insults of all: 

On her fledgling, and embarrassingly low-tech, network, Sarah Palin interviewed Donald Trump, and managed a feat no journalist has yet. She made it boring.

Boring? Oh yeah, that's gonna leave a mark. 

All in all everybody was either underwhelmed or overcome with nausea. (That last one was my camp.)

However perhaps the worst blow of all is that over at the Sea O'Pea, as of this post, there are only two comments under the Trump interview.

Ouch!

Sarah Palin to interview both Donald Trump and Jeb Bush tonight. Dammit, she finally found a way to get media attention! Update!

Courtesy of Sarah "Look at me, look at me, look at me now!" Palin's Facebook page:

WTH, LAMESTREAM MEDIA! STAY OUT OF MY BIBLE WTH? 

Lamestream media asks GOP personal, spiritual "gotchas" that they'd NEVER ask Hillary, or they'd feed the question to her and/or liberal cohorts before they asked it on-air (we know how these things work, lapdog media... the public's on to you), so good on Trump for screwing with the reporter. By the way, even with my reading scripture everyday I wouldn't want to answer the guy's question either... it's none of his business; it IS personal; what the heck does it have to do with serving as commander-in-chief; and these reporters trying to trip up conservatives can go pound sand until they ask the same things of their favored liberal pals. I'll cover this in my interview with Donald Trump and other candidates tonight on the One America News Network show "On Point." The more the media does this, the more they empower America to reject them and their bias as voters run to the anti-status quo candidates daring to Go Rogue.

For those who have no idea what Palin is talking about here (But then again when do we ever know what she is talking about?), she is referring to Trump, who claimed that the Bible is his favorite book, being asked to name his favorite bible verse and being unable to do so.

Of course the reason he couldn't name a favorite verse is because he was only saying he loves the bible to pander to the fundamentalists, who are easily duped by that kind of thing.

So Palin quickly jumped to Trump's defense because, as we know, she made a name for herself by doing the exact same thing.

So now Palin has managed to lure "The Donald" over to this insignificant little cable news outlet, as well as Jeb Bush, which I am positive is the kind of thing the owners were hoping for when they gave her this temporary gig.

That means despite her sub-par interview skills, and the fact that up until now she has garnered hardly any attention, that she just might be able to parlay this into an actual full time gig. And I might have to start transcribing her word salad again.

Oh joy.

Update: Apparently this rinky dink little cable news outlet cannot handle the attention from a Donald Trump visit. It's tiny amateurish website done crashed.

Update: Look even Donald Trump does not want to be in the same studio with the Wasilla Wendigo.

For the record not ONE of Palin's interview subjects were actually in the studio with her.

Update 2: If you are a masochist you can watch the interviews with Bush, Cruz, and Trump right here.  Good luck.
