Sarah's absurd, narcissistic vanity hour now half its debut numbers and getting spanked by the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Maybe the Repukes want to consider Kim Zolciak for the nom? She has all the same qualifications of Sarahcuda (dated pageant looks favored by a certain, um, demographic.) Don't be tardy for the (Republican) Party, Kim!

Sarah is specifically tanking in the prime ad demographic as her show only appeals to old fart freepers.

1. Call her what you will. She was smart enough

to build her McCain 15 minutes into a money making career. When she does fade from the scene she will have become probably a multi-millionaire. She probably doesn't give a hoot what people say about her. She is just "putting food on her family."

[K8-EEE]

2. Yes....just like Kim Zolciak!

Paris Hilton, Tia Tequila, the Jersey Shore cast etc. They all have that same talent for milking their 15 minutes!

4. Will she show her "badonk?"

don't know what it is, but Snooki loves hers.

[Gman]

6. Freepers and their money are very easily parted

she's just the latest in a long line to take their money.

19. I don't think she was smart, just greedy. I think Tawd gives her the plans.

[gratuitous]

3. Next season: The Real Housewives of Wasilla

Oh, you know somebody's pitching it as you read this.

[K8-EEE]

5. Watch the Wasilla ladies will put on their bump-its and lipliner for an outing to

The prestigious Wasilla Walmart boutique...

8. Sarah's hair: $19.95 + Postage & Handling

I was thinking of getting one of these things and a dumb red jacket or something and being Sarah for Halloween, LOL.

11. I'm totally being Sarah for Halloween this year

All I really need is a red jacket and black pencil skirt. My hair is about the same length and texture of hers minus the bangs. Oh and I need the glasses.

I wanted to do it last year but I was in KY where she was too popular.

[K8-EEE]

16. OK Tabby H'ween 2011 we'll have a Sarah-off!

I'M IN! :hi:

[tabbycat31]

24. Remind me down the line

Of course I regret not starting this in 2008. As long as she remains in the spotlight I have Halloween covered.

I can do a pretty good impression of her too.

7. Why do no talent Repukes get cable glory? Do all liberals have to be comedians?

It is as if the cableworld wants GOPukers to be on TVEE, perhaps to get them elected no matter what? Even simple name recognition for voters? Dunno, but these shows about uptight right wing tools makes no sense to ratings, there are way better freakshow reality tv shows out there...guess that explains the freefall.

9. Because people supposedly want to watch a train wreck like Palin, not

a normal, well-adjusted person. Of course, reality show trainwrecks tend to be pretty self-selecting, since normal, well-adjusted people don't agree to have a camera crew follow them and their children around 24/7.

10. maybe she could be in Real Housewives of Alaska instead

that would be fun. :evilgrin:

[Donnachaidh]

17. you know, if they put REAL housewives of Alaska on I might watch

Because I'm sure we could find at least a handful that would want to kick the crap out of that beeyotch... :evilgrin:

[Bluenorthwest]

12. And she fails at yet another ballot box of public opinion

I knew she'd not do very well, but I am a tad surprised as the rapidity of the ratings fall, it seems she has absolutely no loyal base. That is some heavy fact after the promotional push she's gotten. She's just not moving off the shelves. Not drawing a crowd. What can be said?

[K8-EEE]

13. According to the Freepers she's a "victim" of the "lamestream media!"

LOL! Hello -- SHE IS the lamestream media!!

How many people have their own "about me me ME" TV show and are able to spout off on TV via Fox News whenever they want?

They just can't wrap their heads around the fact that most Americans just plain don't like her, and are not as impressed with her as she is by herself. She comes off as an ignorant, narcissistic ditz.

14. Time to rename show "Fake Housewife of Wasilla"

[K8-EEE]

15. +1 nt

[UTUSN]

18. K&R #9 for great news. I checked out the 1st 2 episodes because

I need to stay up with whatever the buzz topic is, whether Mel GIBSON's "Passion of the Christ" or whatever. I really couldn't see how even her most ardent followers could swallow it.

But the real question is how the "Survivor" producer got himself fired up into doing this project. I would think he has shot himself in his career foot.

[Skittles]

20. Battle of the Fame Whores

:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

21. Well, she did tie "Leverage"

Whatever the hell that is! Only I'm sure it took 20 times the production budget and 1000x the media hype for her to tie it, whatever the hell it is!

[csziggy]

22. Leverage is actually a very good show

Timothy Hutton and a great cast pulling "Mission Impossible" type capers to help the little people against big corporations or powerful people.

LEVERAGE follows the adventures of a highly skilled team out to settle scores against those who use power and wealth to victimize others. The gang is led by former insurance investigator Nate Ford (Hutton), who got involved in the con business after his former employer refused to pay for treatment that could have saved his son’s life. His highly skilled team includes Sophie Devereaux (Bellman), a grifter who uses her acting skills to corner her marks; Eliot Spencer (Kane), a “retrieval specialist” with bone-crunching fighting skills; Alec Hardison (Hodge), a gadget and technology wizard who keeps the team informed; and Parker (Riesgraf), a slightly off-center thief adept at rappelling off buildings or squeezing into tight places.

It is one series that I try to always catch.

[K8-EEE]

23. Wow that does sound good!

I will have to check that one out!

[csziggy]

25. I think if you go to the link I posted, they have some episodes online

The new season will be starting soon on TNT, but it may have developed enough of a back story that you will miss some of the nuances of interaction among the regular characters. Also, they have a continuing story line that will open the new season that will not make much sense without seeing previous episodes.

If you are like me and an insomniac, TNT runs episodes some nights at like 2 AM. This has not helped me get more sleep, since I tend to get caught up in the story even if I have seen it before.

26. Dupe

[shireen]

27. i really enjoy that series too

sometimes, it's a bit over-the-top but i've become really fond of the characters.
Edited to add ... but my favorite is Parker. She cracks me up. :)

[csziggy]

28. I do like the way they have developed the characters

For me, that is the sign of a really good director and a great ensemble of actors.

Their plots don't go much beyond what Mission Impossible did. I do wish they had not brought in this "master criminal/evil guy" for them to fight. I preferred the episodic nature of one or two episode problem solving rather than long term feuds.

[Johonny]

29. 2.5 million people watch that show.

I still find that amazing.
