So Sarah Palin Wrote Another Book?
In the last couple years former Alaskan governor and aerial wolf hunter Sarah Palin has written two books, which is about two more than she’s read in the last ten years, not counting Mein Kampf or the Turner Diaries. Her newest book is titled, “America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag.” In this new stream of conscious babble fest, Palin goes to war with American culture. Her written vomit has reached new depths as she’s used her publisher to take on all the usual suspects representing American liberalism: Hollywood, Kevin Spacey, JFK, Thomas Jefferson, the separation of church and state, polar bears, condoms, polar bears wearing condoms, and last but certainly not least, American Idol. One wonders if Sarah Palin would have objected to Dancing with the Stars if her baby popping daughter Bristol wasn’t one of the current contestants. For the record, 58 million people voted for Sarah Palin for Vice President two years ago. We have no way of knowing how many voted for Bristol Palin to make the finals of Dancing with the Stars. When did ABC hire Diebold?


Since most people assume Sarah Palin will run for President in 2012 (and she hasn’t ever denied it), we can only assume she’s outlining her political platform (and that of her Kool Aid drinking Tea Party) via her celebrity status. And since she’s exhausted her political knowledge in the first two minutes of her Vice Presidential debate in 2008, she has moved on to bigger and more relevant issues of today - like the movie Knocked Up, to which Sarah gives two enthusiastic “You Betchas.” The movie Juno also does well on the Palin scorecard, undoubtedly because the pregnant teen Juno decides to carry her unwanted baby to term. Sticking with the sex theme, The 40 year-old Virgin is another movie that Sarah Palin and hence the Tea Party endorses (fittingly… if everyone were virgins there would be no more abortions). But one of Palin’s targets in her new book is American Idol, which leaves much to be desired from the Mama Grizzly herself. The only thing Sarah Palin likes about American Idol is Simon Cowell, who’s no longer a part of American Idol. The rest of it, she says, is a talent depraved reality show.

A talent depraved reality show? Isn’t that asking a bit much from reality? After all, these days even our talent depraved politicians have their own reality shows.

1. Talent depraved? Is that anything like talent deprived?
Or is it something like refudiated?

I guess "talent depraved" will be in the dictionary next year.

7. American Idol a 'talent deprived reality show?' Like Dancing With the Stars?
DWTS is just another glorified T&A show where the women show off thighs and cleavage and get groped by their male partners in front of a camera.

You don't hear Lady Blah Blah disparage DWTS because it feeds her narcissism by glorifying daughter Bristol and giving Sarah another excuse to be in front of a camera.

These reality shows are a symptom of why this country's in the crapper. Most of us can't explain the implications of the Citizens United SCOTUS decision, Downing Street Memos, or the August 2001 PDB, but by god, we know who's still in the hunt for the big prize in American Idol, Dancing With the Stars and these other low-IQ programs that oversaturate the TV programming in this country.
