Palin says her new show won’t be overtly political

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Sarah Palin says she doesn’t expect her new outdoors television show on the Sportsman Channel to be political — at least not overtly so.

Given her background, though, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate said Friday that some may seep through. She said she’s interested in promoting freedom of speech and gun owners’ rights.

Her show, “Amazing America,” premieres on the outdoors-oriented network in April. The show profiles personalities who like hunting and fishing. Palin will serve as the host, introducing the featured personalities, and occasionally traveling to where they live.

Maybe she'll just slay raccoons with a machete. She could just throw acid if the face of foxes. Or, throw hand grenades at possums. Nuking feral chickens can be fun.

Life is short and it sounds like a fun way to spend one's television hours.

Yeah, ol' Dead-eye Dick put a load of birdshot into his friend's face---and the friend subsequently apologized for being in Dick's way. That's some serious Dark Side influence at work.....

cover about her and the great outdoors, and that resulted in the prior series being cancelled because even her base couldn't take the staged bullcrap. She has nothing else to keep an intelligent audience drawn to her on the screen.

I've said it before and I'm going to keep saying it.

She's going to eventually be doing Playboy...if Hef will let her! She is such an attention whore that she's going to do anything and everything to stay in the public eye.

She said that she's "more excited about this (Sportsman Channel) project than I've been about many of the other projects I've done,"

although she didn't elaborate

of course not, she can't remember what rag she read last...

snip
"I do appreciate being able to feed my kids healthy food," she said. "Their dinner just happens to be wrapped in fur, not cellophane."

oh, she and family are dining on carrion? I'll bet she brakes for road kills.

snip
Palin said she particularly hopes that young women can be attracted to outdoor sports, and that her series encourages that.

"The world would be better to have more young women holding a fish in a picture and fewer of them in a bathroom looking in the mirror, holding a camera and taking a selfie," she said.

spoken like a true starved for attention person.

Pardon me Sarah, will you be huntin' n fishin' whilst dressed in leather? mmmmm
