I could not be more unamused. And yet another drop in the bucket in the decline of both the Discovery and History channel, Sarah Palin will get greenlighed Sarah Palin’s Alaska! this week.
I hope she shows us all the places where her scandals took place, but you can be sure one thing: Wolves, you are on notice!
Seriously wolves, bears, Bambi, moose, deer, or Russians, if you see a low flying helicopter with the Discovery Channel logo on it, run, don' walk, to cover! The Palinator is coming! Hunting laws be damned!
The most comical aspect of this is her price tag:

The program, to be shot in HD, will have Sarah guiding viewers throughout Alaska. And, with the former governor requesting $1.2 million an episode, Alaska would be one of the most expensive nature series ever made.
That would make it more expensive than National Geographic's Planet Earth.
More expensive than PBS's Nature.
More expensive than anything David Attenborough did for the BBC.
More expensive than Wild or Earth: The Biography.
Though I guess it goes towards Discovery's quest to be all Bibles & War, 24/7, cause they have a Bible-thumping snowbilly who is at war with nature, all just for $1.2 million an episode.
Not sure what Discovery is thinking here, since Teabaggers probably don't watch the liberal media, especially one trying to teach them something.
Then again, I bet this show is so full of fluff, that Palin will look like a fluffer getting her precious nature hard and rustic enough for the money shot.
But whatever keeps her busy and out of politics, just sad to see Discovery Channel shoot themselves in the face on a hunting trip with Palin.
Wanna let Discover know how you feel?
