Seems Sarah, is slated to be a co-host on The Today Show, this coming tuesday.

Sarah Palin is co hosting the Today show next week? OMG :panic: :panic:

I can hear the clicking remotes as they switch channels.

NBC and the “Today†show are flipping out over Katie Couric guest hosting ABC’s “Good Morning America†this week. On Tuesday, “Today†will use Sarah Palin, failed candidate for many things, to try and blunt Couric. Couric, of course, is credited or blamed with derailing Palin with a famous interview on the “CBS Evening News†in which Palin couldn’t name a newspaper she read for information. NBC is so angry that Couric–who co-hosted “Today†f0r years–is going to be opposing them, they’ve chosen this path. It may do them more harm than good since the average “Today†viewer is certainly not a Palin follower. She’s a Fox News creation. But “Today†is suddenly being portrayed as in ratings trouble, and Ann Curry seems to be getting the blame. It’s very unlike the “Today†show to be defensive. Meanwhile they’re touting a surprise guest for tomorrow– “A legend returnsâ€â€“is how they’re billing it. Is it one of their prior hosts–Jane Pauley or Bryant Gumbel? Is it John Legend? Is it J. Fred Muggs? (You’re too young to know a chimp actually co-hosted “Today†in the 1950s. Really.) And then, to make things more interesting, Oprah is coming to see Gayle King on rival “CBS Morning News.†This is after King swore to me in my Parade interview that Oprah would not be a guest there for some time. It’s been less than 90 days since King and Charlie Rose took over that show. So all bets are off, everywhere.
:ohnoes:
Don't forget to tune in to As the DUmmies Hate, sometime that day.

Watch it turn out to be one of the highest viewed episodes.

They so wish that were true, if anything people will actually be tuning in to The Today Show, and Sarah is going against <insert perky condescending voice here> Katie Couric.

You know, I came across some primitive threads about Sarah Palin, but haven't yet categorized and photobucketed them.
But for now, this should do:

Was that sent to the secret service?

^ I assume so, considering the amount of SS visits DU got back then.

I wonder if this was an April fool gag. :-)

Hmmm...I think NBC may....MAY!!!... just be smelling the tea leaves for the first time...
I have been constantly amazed that in a so-called capitalistic country we don't have more competition against Fox News as far as balanced news coverage. The fact that the plurality, if not the majority, of Americans hold views exactly like those of Sara Palin indicate that a HUGE OPPORTUNITY to get viewers can be had. When the Family channel gets more viewers than MSNBC during prime time, you know that there is a segment of the population that is not being met consumerwise.
If I were a marketing honcho for the media, I'd look at the vast chasm that exists between Fox and everyone on the news front. I'd be looking at so much POTENTIAL RATINGS that are being conceded because of a mindset that isn't just wrong, but is set in stone across the board.
What would happen in MSNBC instantly fired Maddow, Shultz, Sharpton, and Scarborough, and instead hired Limbaugh, Levin, Krauthammer, and Bozell? Within a month, THAT station would be Fox's head to head competition. You want to talk cash COW? I'm talking cash HERD!!
So in this way, I think that NBC is conceding this point. Then again, they may be setting up Palin to fail because she's going in with THEIR rules, inlcuding NBC's ability to move the goalposts at any time to render Palin impotent or, worse, stupid looking. I know Palin is too smart to fall into that trap, but at this point, I'm not sure NBC's intentions. I DO know that THEY know that Palin is ratings gold, and that is why they got her. We shall see what happens.

Don't just think of Sarah as just a conservitive politician, she is going to go gang busters on Today cause she is going to be a mom. She will be able to talk to all these child development experts a lot better than Katie would. I think it will be very interesting.

Did Ben Burch actually think that his side would have the muscle to pull this off? DUmb**** blood would flow at a rate rivalled by the mighty Mississippi during last year's floods.
-
IIRC Socialist Steve Dawes is a prolific poster at the site where that terrorist threat was posted.
Maybe http://www.electstevedawes.com/ could explain how Steve Dawes either agrees with these domestic terrorism threats or not. One would assume that due to his high post count that he does.

Nah, That benburch character is just a blow-hard. :naughty:
None of his facist dreams came to fruitation.
Seems he pulled out, and went looking for others to get behind. :sheep:
He was a small bit before my time on CC.
From what I gathered so far, his basic address starts... C:>enter<:###

It can't get out if there's a fist up the ass, blocking its egress. Don't forget, Ben was a fisting aficionado.

I'm not sure this will be a ratings bonanza. Were it not for blogs, I would have no idea Sarah is guest hosting Today. Otherwise, there'd be no way in hell I'd turn on that show. For that matter, is NBC advertising this??

Word-of-mouth is the best advertising out there. O-) :fuelfire: :yahoo:

It will get great ratings, but you can be sure the smarmy pricks at NBC will set her up to look like a fool.
She must really need the money.

I don't know if they are, or not.
One thing for sure.
Every DUmpmonkey out there will be tuned in.
As much as they wish to deny, they will watch.
So will we. Curics appearence on another network, will be pale.
-
So, let me get this straight.
"Perky" Katie went from the "Today Show", which I quit watching when Bryant Dumbel was with them, to anchoring the "CBS Evening News", who's rating went down faster than the "Titantic", and now has signed a deal with ABC.
THE question I have is this:
WHY IN THE HELL DO THE ALPHABET NETWORKS KEEP HIRING THIS LOSER? Surely the talent pool isn't THAT shallow. :???:

IOW, she does whatever trick the ones holding her leash tell her.
My dogs do a better job, and for a lot less money.

You got that right. A few years ago, she had a crew with her at the hospital to televise her getting a colonoscopy.
Talk about taking one for the team!
DUmmy benburch would be enthralled, but that's reality TV I can do without.

To be fair, her husband did die of colon cancer. I can't fault her for wanting to raise awareness and take some of the stigma out of having a colonoscopy. I can, however, fault her for being a raging moonbat.

It should be sent to Grayson's opponent. He could ask Grayson in a public debate why he is a member of a forum that called for the execution of a sitting President.
-
I bet she will look hot hot HAWT! :yahoo: That will drive them crazy knowing their pussified hubbies are off wanking in the bathroom to images of Sarah "MILF" Palin. :panic:
-
Wow. NBC of all places. Interesting.

It astounds me that anyone can stand to watch Couric, she is the archetypical 'Concern troll.'

That sentence right there is pretty much the story of BurchyBoy! If he didn't have his fist up someone else's, he had his head up his! The guy had a real fetish for "ASS"!
I believe he and his butt buddy threatened franksolich, too! They were goin' to travel to Nebraska to "kick" some "ASS", rather than **** it, which is their normal modus operandi.

He was a fantasist, maybe still is, who thought he somehow mattered. In his own mind, he was a living, breathing Baron Munchhausen.
I remember one year he wanted to organize a protest where people would gather near the closest federal building, and just stand there glaring angrily at the security camera while holding a clenched fist, or maybe that was just the image I got based on his nickname. I do not recall what this was supposed to accomplish, but it gave me the funniest visuals in my mind.
Then, like all such self-important posers, one day he simply vanished in a puff of his own self-importance and hasn't been heard of since.

You remember correctly, sir.
However, Fat Che didn't "simply vanish;" Skins mausoleumed him, I forget for what reason.
One got the impression he was getting unhappy with the other primitives anyway, because towards the end, he had some sort of fund-raiser on Skin's island, and it didn't pull in a whole lot of bucks, if any at all.
After Fat Che was kicked off Skins's island, he went democraticwarrior, where he hoped to be a big wheel, a big fish in a mud-puddle, but even there, he never "made it." He tried encouraging all sorts of "exposes" on the operation of Skins's island, but those flopped. He made a big deal about how it was Skins's loss, banning him, because my fellow alum was depriving himself of all that Fat Che had "contributed." As it turned out, all the years (three or four) that Fat Che was a member of Skins's island, he had donated.....$21.
Fat Che never got kicked off democraticwarrior, but was unhappy there, and jumped at the chance to be an "administrator" on the Randi Rhodes message-board, where he denied franksolich entry. As far as I know, Fat Che's still there.
He was kicked off Skin's island, I believe, in early 2007.
His wife or girlfriend--in either case the fistee--worked at a half-way house for delinquent children, and the state of Illinois, because of budget problems, closed down the operation (2009, maybe?), and as she'd always been the breadwinner while Fat Che sat around on his ass, his belly sagging nearly down to the floor, they began having severe money problems in this robust 0bamaconomy, and his house in Joliet went into foreclosure.
I dunno what's happened since then; maybe he staved off foreclosure, maybe the fistee got another job and still supports him, or maybe he's homeless. If the last, it couldn't happen to a more-appropriate person.

I remember you saying something about that. I've been there before. Never as a member. Just as a lurker. Not sure they're as crazy on the RR forum as The Island, but they're up there. They're way up there, sir.

It's been a long time, but I seem to recall that Fister almost DARED Skinner to tombstone him toward the end. Hubris is a scary thing.

It's also a DemonRat trait. Obama challenging the USSC, by saying that to repeal ObamaCare would be judicial activism.

But he's your go-to guy if you want to play a recording of something "Thom" Hartmann (or whatever his name is) said on the radio in 2004.
Trained historians use him as a source.

Waiting now for the first DUmmie to comment at the DUmp.
I'm sure they will attempt to be a little tardy so as not to let on that they watched. :whatever:

Sarah is so adorable.
It's sad that someone sweet and approachable is held up to such hate and ridicule, yet someone like Olbermann, who supposedly cares about the working men and women, yet is an elitist who is insulted when those working men talk to him, and calls them smelly.

I was watching the news or something last night and they were showing a preview of it. I was thinking the same thing to myself. All because she identifies as a conservative. Can you imagine in liberal women being treated as she has? Would never happen.
