How's this for a change of pace? This time somebody is trying to pimp Todd Palin out.

"What do you want me to do now?"

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Palin and Burnett are pitching another reality series, this one more focused on Palin’s husband Todd and his career as a championship snowmobile racer. But for now, TLC owner Discovery Communications has passed, say sources. And A&E Networks, which entered into a bidding war with Discovery for Sarah Palin's Alaska, also is not interested. 

So far, networks have balked at the steep asking price – Palin's Alaska went for north of $1 million an episode and sources say Burnett and Palin are asking for a similar payday for the follow-up. Mark Burnett Productions did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

Another obstacle is Palin’s waning status as a cultural lightning rod. The former Alaska governor, 47, burst onto the scene as the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate with a compelling personal storyline and outspoken conservatism that made her the darling of the right and a target of the left, helping her land a $1 million annual contract with Fox News. 

But she has been largely under the radar since confirming that she would not seek the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, as press attention has shifted to frontrunners Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and the rest. Says one network insider, “I think it’s safe to say her time has passed.”

"I think its safe to say her time has passed." That may be one of the greatest things EVER said about Sarah Palin.

It is beyond humorous that Klondike Kardashian is trying to pimp Todd for a reality show.

Todd may be one of the dullest human beings on the planet. It is more entertaining watching icicles form than watching  this waste of space do just about anything. (By the way "watching icicles form" is how Todd used to describe his sex life with Sarah. Little known fact there.)

Of course nobody wants to pick this up. Who could manage to sit through even one episode? They would have to send electric shocks into the chairs of the test audiences just to keep them lapsing into a coma.

Essentially the only thing that would make this even remotely watchable is if they doused Todd in gasoline and lit him on fire. But then what would they do for episode two?

This really speaks volumes about how desperate Sarah is to keep her name in the news. She knows that she is so completely finished that the next reasonable sized crowd she will be able to draw will be the one that shows up the on day she is indicted in federal court.  It will probably be the most joyful crowd she has ever attracted as well.

But why Todd?  Did EVERY other family member turn her down first?

You know what?  I bet they did! (Well except for Bristol of course. But even with the smartest, cutest thing to ever issue forth from a Palin (Tripp) distracting from her dullness, she still could not get anybody to watch her ridiculous program.)

I bet even Trig is too smart to let this nasty woman use him to line her own pockets and keep her name from fading into the fog of oblivion.

But Todd still has that contractual obligation doesn't he? Yep, he is still her prison bitch until he has finished serving out his time.  Essentially trapped in a marriage forged in the fires of hell.

Hey! Now THAT sounds like a great reality show!
