Palin to co-host 'Today' show as ratings battle heats up

[spanone]

Sarah Palin will guest co-host NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday, signaling a new intensity in the morning show ratings war.
In a statement posted on its website, "Today" promised that the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate will "reveal a different side of her than you've seen before."
The announcement comes after it was revealed that former "Today" host Katie Couric will fill in for Robin Roberts as co-host of ABC's rival morning show, "Good Morning America" this week.
The ratings battle between the two morning shows has recently ramped up, with "Good Morning America" gaining in popularity against its historically dominant rival.

5. I like the Today Show, but I won't watch. I find it insulting

to the viewers by putting her on the air.

Whoever thought of this has, imo, a few nuts loose.

6. Katie was the one who helped Sarah make a fool of herself.

Would like to see her interview Steve Schmidt.

7. So many others infinitely more qualified to host and they choose this moron

[Laurian]

8. Is this for real? I started an email to the Today Show, but

deleted it because I can't believe they would do this. Lordy, I feel like I'm losing my mind lately. I need a vacation, but as a retiree, I guess everyday is a vacation. Maybe I need to go back to work

10. Maybe thats how she feels too...

She was originally a broadcaster - why not go back to what she knows?

[hexola]

9. Im hoping for the best...she'll announce the whole "conservative thing" was just a facade.

And all of those losers over at C4P - who still think this is all part of her master plan - heads will explode!!!

11. We might potentially have DUZY material for weeks

I hope she's in rare form.

12. Guess she'll get the bagger audience.

Can't think of anyone else who cares.

13. Sarah, when you interview other people you have to shut up and listen to them talk.

You know that, right?

15. The sound you hear is ...

Dave Garroway spinning in his grave

[book_worm]

16. OK, NBC when are you going to have a female democratic politician on as a guest-host?

I'm tired of this media bias all the time and them constantly throwing Palin at us.

[L. Coyote]

17. Does this mean people still watch that stuff?

If so, who the hell are they?

[spanone]

18. mainstreaming of idiocracy...

[datasuspect]

19. that palin has any relevance whatsoever

is the greatest proof that our society and culture are thoroughly degenerate.
