Sarah Palin's Real American Stories

Did any of you watch her show last night? It made me proud to be an America. With her usual down-home style and bright, witty personality, she showcased a collection of stories that remind us what is really means to be a citizen and a hero. The stories included: a mother whose soldier son had a destroyer named after him, a boy with cerebral palsy and the dog who gave him the strength to fight, a millionaire who pays the college tuition of underprivileged children, a young woman who risked her life to pull a man from a burner tanker truck, and the story of why Toby Keith risks his own life in Iraq and Afghanistan to play for soldiers in remote areas.

It was incredible moving, and Sarah was at her best. And yet, as you probably expect, the progesso-socialist-lib media can't seem to find a way to say something nice about her. Its more clear than ever that they fear her!

Hank Stuever of the Washington Post:
"The debut on the Fox News Channel ofSarah Palin's "Real American Stories" Thursday night turned out to be like one of those shows that's on when nothing's on and yet there is air to fill -- like infotainment you sometimes see on empty channels in hotel rooms, or the stuff that's playing on the little TV screen at the gas pump nearest the rental-car center. What are we watching exactly? (A commercial? News?)," he wrote. So for an hour she glommed on to some of her real Americans' realness and turned it all into something that is pointless to argue: America is great. People can do whatever they set their mind to because they are exceptional, because America is exceptional. The search continues for a tune that Palin and Fox News seem forever convinced goes under-sung. " http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/02/AR2010040204207_pf.html

Mary McNamara of the LA Times
"As a host, Palin brings little besides her name and all that it has come to mean. Despite her time on the campaign trail and in front of often-unfriendly cameras, Palin still has an eyes-locked-on-the-teleprompter stiffness." http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2010/04/the-campaign-continues-sarah-palin-as-tv-host.html

Alan Shroeder on the Huffington Post
"The flap over Real American Stories further proves that Sarah Palin is no longer a politician but rather a product to be merchandised -- in this case, merchandised in a cut-rate way. Implicit in any personality-based marketing strategy is the need to maintain strict quality control over the product line. It appears that Sarah Palin is now willing to slap her name on just about anything, with all the discrimination of Krusty the Klown." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-schroeder/faux-interviews-fox-news_b_521511.html
