Maybe the thought is that such a program would endear us to the Palin’s. Sarah, please, you had us at “pit-bulls and lipstick” this is not necessary. The right digs you, the left will always hate you, the rest of America is waiting for you to say something it thinks is “crazy” or “brilliant” either one will do. A reality show will most certainly benefit the potential for crazy and not the potential for brilliant.
More important than all of that, a reality show is WELCOMING public scrutiny of your family affairs. If you didn’t like David Letterman talking about your family before a reality show, just wait until it becomes fodder for the endless myriad of programs devoted to fluff. When it is remixed on YouTube and the press veils every terrible attack under the banner that reads: “Well you put your children on television.”
Seriously if this is true, pack it in. You should be forming policy if you want a career in politics, not treating your children like the square version of the Osbournes. If a career in politics is not what you want, let us know and step aside.
