The Sportsman Channel is boldly demonstrating how gamey they really are by signing the Mother of all Quitters to star in a new reality series: Amazing America. The only thing that is actually amazing about this is that anyone would be so foolish as to hire Palin after she bombed so pitifully in her prior television outings.
Who can forget Sarah Palin’s Alaska? The program debuted on The Learning Channel in November of 2010, and signed off two months later in January of 2011, after losing half its audience in nine unwatchable episodes. Even Fox News recognized Palin’s negligible worth when they declined to renew her contract at the end of 2012 unless she agreed to take a hefty salary cut. Palin’s ego refused to suffer that indignity and she was off the air. But a few months later, when her less-than-SuperPac’s donations slowed to a trickle, she swallowed her pride and re-upped at Fox.
On The Sportsman Channel Palin will join fellow crackpot Ted Nugent, an NRA sponsored gun-nut talk show, and a bevy of programs that feature sadists killing defenseless animals to affirm their flaccid masculinity. This should put to rest the incessant media blathering about whether Palin will make another run for political office. She is clearly more driven by enriching herself through pseudo-entertainment projects rather than exposing herself to doing any real work. It should end the blathering, but probably won’t because the media blatherers aren’t any more interested in working than Palin is.
