Hollywood looking to turn Sarah Palin into next Oprah

The new Osbournes?
Note to Sarah Palin: Quit your day job.
When America finally decides not to vote in another war-loving Republican as its president, VP hopeful (and subject of constant ridicule) Sarah Palin won’t have to look far for another career. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “the entertainment world are discussing possibilities for capitalizing on her fame, ranging from an Oprah-style syndicated talk show to a Sean Hannity-like perch in cable news or on radio.” Dust off a stool at Fox News.
If equally dopey Dan Quayle was a hottie, would he have been given his own talk show? Forget about Ophrey, I’d like to see a couple of flying Jerry Springer-like chairs mess up Palin’s overpriced coiffure.
The world’s most famous hockey mom became a media darling with her lunkheaded interview with Katie Couric and her “undeniable onscreen charisma as her SNL performance proved last weekend.”
Industry insiders are convinced that a talk show is the likely route for Palin. THR believes “her folksy red-state persona could be just the thing to connect with this female-skewing audience.”
Chris Coelen, CEO of RDF USA, sees Palin as “less as a variety-show host like Ellen (DeGeneres) and more of a single-topic host like Tyra (Banks), or maybe what Jenny Jones used to be.” I smell another venal Kathie Lee clone dragging Trig out after every commercial break. Eric Wattenberg, an agent at a New York-based agency, figures “You’re either addicted to her because you love her or you just want to tune in to see if she’ll do something stupid.”
It’s her shrill voice, reminiscent of wind rustling through a beached beer can, that would drive me up the wall. Now…if she decided to shriek in a porno with Joe the Plumber, now that you should see!

PALIN FOR PRESIDENT!

Michael, not Sarah.
First a word on how Michael Palin’s campaign came to EC’s attention. Deviants attract. I first encountered S. Fitzstephens on Flckr and he’s been sending me some of the strangest links it’s ever been my pleasure to click open. Almost none of his emails have anything to do with movies, yet I still find myself fascinated. The first email contained three photos of Milton Berle at the Professional Children’s School, 1973.
Some of what he sends are links are to web pages, while others are photos with only a minimal amount of description like this one:
The subject line read: “i found this through mccain08 website.”
Most recently, Fitz sent news of another Palin running for office this November, former Monty Pythonite Michael Palin. He could be the most logical third party candidate since Pat Paulsen. The Palin party’s platform is listed below. Thanks for the hot links, Fitz. Keep ‘em coming!
Fellow Prisoners
(ooh what a giveaway!) …
The Silly Party continues to dominate in the debates.
Our strategy: victory by virtue of not being there.
Through the act of strategic absence,
Michael Palin
has rendered it
completely impossible
for the other candidates
to refute anything he says.
Genius!
