Oh my: Palin to guest host the “Today” show on Tuesday
posted at 3:45 pm on April 1, 2012 by Allahpundit
Someone tweeted about it last night but I ignored it, figuring that a Palin/“lamestream media” alliance had to be an early April Fools gag. But then I remembered what GMA is up to this week. Now it makes sense: Palin gets a chance to one-up her old nemesis and “Today” gets a morning of must-see TV for right and left alike designed to steal Katie’s ratings thunder. It’s an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” deal. For a day, at least.
Said Palin to Breitbart.com:
“I see this as a good opportunity to bring an independent, common-sense conservative perspective to NBC. We’re ‘going rogue’ and infiltrating some turf for a day,” Palin told Breitbart News…
When Breitbart News asked for a comment about the fact that she will be competing with Couric, Gov. Palin responded simply: “Game on.”
If she and Katie end up goofing on each other on air, I’m going to leave my body and attain a state of total traffic nirvana. One question, though: Is this just a lark for Palin or a signal that she’s thinking of a career move into full-time TV? InstaGlenn’s post this morning reminded me what Andrew Breitbart said to John Hawkins in an interview last April:
Hollywood, that’s where the Left controls the debate and the narrative. Same goes with journalism. I think it’s more important.
That’s why I’ve been saying for two years that Sarah Palin could become a billionaire as a red state Oprah and do shows that are similar to the template of Oprah for the same audience — but instead of the victim template, use the hero template. Make it more uplifting, not about how this person was victimized in this way and we’re going to make this person whole by giving him a house or a year’s supply of diapers, but go out there and find the heroes and start showing people the American experience is not about political correctness and it’s not about multi-culturalism. It’s about E Pluribus Unum. It’s about there being a common American cultural dynamic.
Is this the first step? Exit question: “Today” is also promising the return on Monday of a “surprise legend.” Who’s that? I assume it’s Jane Pauley but all theories are welcome.

She’d have crushed Mittens. He11, Newt and Santy were crushing him, for a while. Palin is actually popular, and she’d have had a wave of money coming in constantly.
The establishment Rinos would have moved their support to either Pawlenty, who had a better chance at winning the general than Romney anyway, or they’d have pushed Christie/Daniels to join even harder.
Romney was never their real favorite, which actually mirrors our own problems getting real cons to join the race. I don’t think anyone really wanted Newt or Santy, their just left. If Perry was still here, he’d be the ABR candidate right now.

She would shake things up and that’s why she is liked and disliked. Few politicians would have the guts.

Not even close. You’re saying that. I’m pointing out that dismissing conservatives with accomplishments who didn’t go to the right school or don’t speak the Queen’s English and talk like, say, soccer moms, or don’t try to placate the people in power is the height of douchbaggery. Conservatives who are rich and successful and bright and talented are a valuable resource to America. But to stick your head in the sand and say there aren’t a large group of people who have their best interests in the status quo is ignorant beyond belief.

THIS is why Sarah Palin has a lot of support among conservatives for POTUS. She refuses to accept the status quo and the way things havealwaysbeendone. Our country is at a tipping point and a “go along to get along” Romney type doesn’t have the stuff to change the insider elites and wrest the power from their hands. They are running our country into the ground and also sitting on the sidelines while Obama destroys our country.

Heh. That’s something these mitt-bots can’t get thru their thick skulls. Sorta like the libs shocked, shocked that SCOTUS might actually find something unconstitutional in ObamneyCare. Well, it’s the same thing the the delegates. They may be bound to a candidate, but once they’ve cast their mandatory vote, they’re free to vote for whoever they want. I see the mitt-bots protestations much like the Wizard — pay no attention to the conservatives, it’s been ordained that Mittness shall win, blah blah. Bring on the convention and let us fight for the soul of the party.

Cool! So we all get to challenge Obama to a debate because he works for us. Is this a great country or what?!
As for you idiot children who think I’m jealous of my husband’s past support for Palin, gosh, you’re right. The only reason I supported the very handsome Mitt was to get back at my husband because he liked Palin. Oh wait! I was for Mitt before anyone knew who Palin was. Darn, that kinda blows your ridiculous theories. It is very revealing about you all though. Getting crushes on politicians to the point you actually imagine someone’s husband or wife might be jealous. Pathetic…

Gotta be patient and slow with them. Indoctrination is hard to let go. I just very patiently and with a even tone state the facts and always end with “check google – the press doesn’t tell us everything”, like they too can have some control and be more informed, that it’s easy and right there. It’s always fun watching them finally turn. They may not come all the way over, but they are willing to think and best of all start discounting the LSM.

Funny that. I did not know that the Nazis had a lock on fascism. But I do know that RomneyCare is a beefed up Nazi healthcare plan involving private insurers. Funny how these things come full circle. Another thing that Nazis pride themselves on is their management skills. They love it so much, they have a class of their own ‘beamter’.
There’s a few other parallels I see between the cult of Mittness and the Nazi party, but you’re so heart and soul into it, you can’t see it.

I figured this thread would bring out the usual Palin bashers..
Look, I’ll support the nominee, and my primary vote is already cast. So if the Santorum folks do mange to force a brokered convention, where the delegates are free to choose.. if they picked Sarah,.. I’d be more than pleased, worried we could rally the public around her, but pleased to see a politician running I actually like for a change.
If that “offends” someone.. oh well…. my 13 year old loves her, and she wants a role model that postive, to me is a good thing.. so scuse me if I ignore the Palin hate mongers..
She’s not running, so whatever your issues are, I really don’t much care.

We all can say or demand what we want to demand. Isn’t that wonderful in a free society? However, when we get an attack ad all to ourselves it greatly increases our credibility, doesn’t it?

It should be a cautionary tale to those that think the media is powerless. they are more powerful then ever.

2016 might be too late. Let’s work on getting more conservative congresscritters & senators elected, in addition to defeating Obama this year.
That’s the best way to feel a little more ease w/ voting for Romney, if he’s the nominee.
Bill Whittle has a good video on PJTV that states that if Obama gets four more years – it’s because too many conservatives stayed home and didn’t vote to beat him.

Worrying about SP being in the 2012 or debating her worthiness right now is a waste and a distraction: She didn’t declare then, she can’t run now, and unless someone jobs my memory, she hasn’t come out in attack mode against Romney.
Romney may very well be the nominee, and unless we agree to coalesce behind him, he won’t beat Obama…and at this time *any* can beat him….Cripes, *Bloomberg* can beat this guy.
Stop worrying about what a Romney Presidency might be…You already know what a 2nd term of Obama will be.

“Palin is coming Tuesday as a live guest in the 7 a.m. hour for an interview on the political news of the day. Then she will co-host the 8 a.m. hour and take part in some of the show segments,” a rep for NBC tells E! News. (E! and Today and both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
That means we’ll not only get to hear Palin’s thoughts on the current events, but she’ll take a seat at the anchor desk alongside Matt Lauer and Ann Curry as well.

No bill is wrong. If Obama gets four more years it is because the “smart people” in the gop establishment did not give conservatives a reason to go to the polls. The gop establishmnet attacked and turned on the TEa party, they heap scorn on conservatives 24/7 in their talking points expecting the conservatives to be good little voters and vote for them regardless of what they say or how they treat conservatives. Many in the gop laugh at groups like the poor, or blacks or gays for voting almost 100% dem every year and say the dem party is keeping them on the “plantation” well the gop party establishment is doing the same to conservatives and unlike those groups mentioned at least the dems throw those groups some bones now and then. the gop gives nothing to conservatives, no positions of power within the party, no major bills, no major efforts to repeal socialist laws, no desire for a balanced budget and yet people like Bill want to blame conservatives for Mitt’s defeat?
Really? Maybe you and bill need to place the blame wher eit belongs the gop establishment who treats conservatives worse than dirt.

Um, ‘puppet stooge’? I’m putting my money where my mouth is, contributing to the campaign of the remaining GOP primary candidate with the best chance of defeating President Obama in the general election. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is still not running. If you don’t support Romney, then don’t support him. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is still not running. If you lash out and name-call everyone who disagrees with you and doesn’t believe Palin is capable of being a good President, then you’re not likely to persuade anyone of the rightness of your cause, whatever your cause might be since–and here it is again–Sarah Palin is still not running.
You say Romney doesn’t have a chance, that Sarah Palin would do a better job? Okay. That’s the beauty of fantasy. You can imagine whatever you like, no harm no foul. Daydreams are fine. But here’s the thing: Romney and Santorum and Gingrich and Perry and Bachmann and Cain and all the rest took a chance and went for the big brass ring. They stepped up. Your hero didn’t. She opted out. That’s the reality of it. It is what it is, and we go up against Obama with what we’ve got, not with what some of you wish we had.

Hold on there, Unseen. As a member of that “Conservative GOP Base” and a Tea Party member at that, some of us are missing the point.
We already know this is the issue with the Party leadership; the Tea Party was supposed to be the wave to help clear out the deadwood…but did you really think it was gonna happy quick or easy? That those entrenched that didn’t have our best interest wouldn’t fight back?
That being said…as bad as the GOP Leadership may be now…Obama administration is a hell of alot worse…for us, the Dems (whether they believe it or not) and the country as a whole.
Conservatives have our beachhead. The party knows we can mobilize and if need be take back ground. Take time to root out the worse of ‘em and make sure they can’t get back…but we *need* time.
I look at Ronmey as trying the price to pay. I look at Newt or Santoruim, whomever the nominee is as buying us 4 years to stop this backass-slide into economic servitude that we’ve worked up to.
Don’t you see- Whoever it is, we need to support. Is it 2008 all over again? Yeah it is. So what? We better work 2x as hard, because you *see* what happened when we allowed ourselves to lose sight of the larger battle.

Eh. Sure it’s a free country and she can say or demand whatever she wants, but he is under no obligation to agree to debate her. I don’t disagree at all that Obama is persecuting private citizens and that that is despicable. Palin’s hardly the only one he’s doing that do. Rush, the Koch Brothers, Fox News, the list is endless (and unlike Palin, none of them are politicians who considered running for President), but that doesn’t confer upon them the “right” to debate him one on one. That’s just silly. They can (and do) counteract his demagoguery via the media, talk radio, social media, and so forth.
Frankly, ever since Newt started this Lincoln-Douglas debate nonsense, I’m more apt to ridicule debate challenges anyway…

Looking at Mitt’s records tells me clearly that a Mitt win will not change much. Certain people will benifit more than those in power now. Our lives as avg citizens will not change much they will continue to get worse. Outsourcing will still occur, Nafta will remain the law of the land more of our freedoms will be given away to world orgs like the UN. Under Mitt the socialists are more likely to be able to get cap and trade passed. Jus tlike under Bush it was easier to get the Patriot act and homeland security bill passed and push the nation into two wars.
Add in Mitt’s ideology and worldview and it just clarifies it. At this point I could give two figs on who wins between Mitt and Obama. don’t take my word for it. Take the puppet master’s words for it:

Childish one: Parsing a politician’s speech doesn’t have a damn thing to do with jealousy. Do you think we should pay no heed to how a politician speaks, writes, or looks? Seriously, what is your point?
As for whether or not you yourself have ever commented on Romney’s appearance or attire – I could not care less if you have or haven’t! But surely you don’t deny that people do comment on his appearance. You know, like his…..hair. The diff is I don’t go around whining about it or make asinine claims that it’s a sign of jealousy. To suggest I’d waste my time searching for examples of you doing this is, well, astonishing. Meanwhile, gosh, don’t you often make tedious jokes about used-car salesmen blah blah blah? If I wrack my brain I might come up with an example. Wait! I’ve got it! You made a a joke just tonight about selling reverse mortgages. You know who does that? True Con Fred Thompson, the guy Hot Air clung to until the bitter end in 2008. What delicious irony….
Buy Danish on April 1, 2012 at 11:02 PM
while I understand your point and agree to a certain degree I have slowly come to the realization it doesn’t matter how many foot soldiers we mobilize or how many congressional seats we take. Without conservatives in positions of power within the party it makes no difference. So I can not support a liberal as the gop standard bearer for while he might be a shade better than Obama the end result like with bush will throw the country into the hands of the marxists like Bush’s terms did in 2008. It was only by making the dem party come out and take ownership for their soocialism that the conservatives were able to win their 700+ seats in 2010. electing a liberal republican to give the dems cover and confuse the parties to again be almost the same serves conservatism nor our nation.
Don’t believe me? think if Mitt would have won in 2008. Is there anybody that thinks for one second Mitt would not have taken his “healthcare mandate” and fashioned a law much like Obamacare and what would have happened if a republican had done so. there would have been no major push by red states to fight the law in the courts, blue states would have been happy. the opposition to the Romneycare national law would not have had Fox news on its side, nor many of talk radio. there is a benifit to having one party claim socialism and one party reject it.

Ryan is too tied to the establishment. regardless it would take someone not of the establishment to change course. the Rise of Gov Palin shows those people are out there. Maybe someone we have not be introduced to yet will emerge in the coming years and have the same type of character and honor to rally conservatism back to the Reagan era. Maybe Palin will once again do it like she did in 2010.

By far the greatest living spokesperson for Conservatism, she is just so good. Big mic, big screen, big name recognition, big following, big cred, big thread count goddess. Allah is in nirvana. He knows his commenters very well indeed.

ok, fine. she better not come back playing victim after this. She is doing this on her own free will (for good money probably). I admire the cajones, but can’t have it both way. She knows they hate her guts.

What did she do in 2010 Unseen? Saw about 55% of the people she endorsed win. Never mind that many were shoo ins and not in trouble.
of the ones she supported that didn’t make it Joe Miller was her biggest embarassment, then Angle and OD.
Maybe it is the way she said it that makes you think she was such a giant in 2010…

Oh and big nightmares for establishment types. Living big at your expense, priceless.

Dear illiterate nitwits, Buy Danish is one of the few high-quality commenters here at Hot Gas who remain willing to put up with you retards to reach the readers who can write in complete sentences.
We appreciate her and barely tolerate you. Sod off.

Why’s that?

I took time off from politics and my outlook improved. It’s hard to see things favorably when you are embedded in it day after day. While I don’t see much hope for 2012 I do see hope in that the more and longer the socialists stay in power the more america is rejecting them. Its a double edged sword that we should not need but it seems because of our success as a nation many people have forgotten how bad socialism is and how great freedom is. I hav ehope people will remember before its too late.

The Palin army marches on, picking up recruits, (and viewers) along the way..:)

Don’t tell me that I have to vote for Etch-a-sketch. I voted for Etch-a-sketch’s brother last time.
But people like Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace who worked on Etch-a-sketch’s brother’s campaign voted for Obama because a conservative was on the bottom of the ticket, duh!
Go yell at Nicole Wallace, and Steve Schmidt, and Peggy Noonan and David Brooks. They voted for Obama and gave you Obama as POTUS, not me.
I’ve paid my dues voting for RINO’s against my better interests. I’m done.
Etch-a-sketch can’t win the states he won in the primary in the general. Obama wins those states in November. So it doesn’t matter if I stay home. The problem is because conservatives will stay home Etch-a-sketch is toxic to the down ticket and will stop the GOPe from taking the senate. Karl Rove’s endorsement doesn’t mean snot!

ROFL. rewrite history much?

Try about 75%, and without Rove and co, driving the shiv into O’Donnell, or Cornyn carrying Murkowski’s water, the number would have been higher, she picked Walker when he was a little known county exec, she was on the field at Madison, when cap n trade was
still viable, she helped stake that dead, when they were burying
Haley under a mountain of innuendo, she vouched for her character, ditto for Perry against that carpetbagger Hutchinson.

Seems pretty obvious to me.

She will go on NBC showing a little skin and cleavage and you and idesign will be glued to the tv and rewatching the recording over and over.
She will help someone with a recipe and you both will take that as a brilliant strategy to reach out to women.
Tea leaves upon tea leaves!

Fine, you can be snarky, but you didn’t disagree.

Let me ask a hypothetical. If Palin endorses the Republican nominee, will Palin fans vote for him?
22044 on April 1, 2012 at 11:18 PM
It was 55%.
