Sarah Palin Interview With Barbara Walters

Sarah Palin To Do A 5-Part Interview With Barbara Walters

Dear ABC,
Your decision to air Barbara Walters’ five-part interview with Sarah Palin on Nov. 17 is one of the worst decisions in the history of mankind. Seriously, isn’t showing segments of the interview on “Good Morning America,” ” World News with Charles Gibson,” “Nightline” and “20/20” overdoing it just a little? First, you are shamelessly helping Palin promote her book, Going Rogue: An American Life, by airing the interview the same day it hits bookstore shelves. Second, didn’t you get the memo that Oprah is interviewing her on the 16th? And uh, did you not notice that Sarah can barely formulate an articulate sentence—the result of her stretching her limited mental capacity over hours could be completely disastrous. After numerous embarrassing interviews with big shots like Katie Couric and Brain Williams, it’s clear that Palin is a masochist for coming back for more. Plus, she is neither relevant nor interesting—she isn’t even a governor anymore. She is famous for being a joke. So why give her the publicity!? You don’t know? That’s because there’s no reason! We suggest you reconsider. Please.
Sincerely,
Nikki

Yeah, I don’t understand why media outlets are still paying any attention to her. She meets none of the criteria for newsworthiness, and she’s not even remotely interesting as a human being.

to be fair, she does have plenty of time on her hands since she quit her job…

It’s all for the ratings. People who love her will be eating it up, and those who hate her will want to see if she makes a fool of herself again!

As long as there is someone-anyone-paying attention this lady ain’t going nowhere. Otherwise i wouldnt still be reading about Orrin Hatch. Put a microphone in front of them as they start singing and dancing like the Temptations.

Oh come on. I think there is a serious shortage of comedy on these shows. This will bring just the comic relief we’ve been waiting for. Pop some popcorn, grab a snuggie and enjoy a few laughs. This is gonna be FUNNY stuff! I mean, she actually takes herself seriously. That’s funny. I can’t wait to sit back and laugh.

For someone The Frisky can’t stand and the point of this article is to complain about how can she get all this, undeserved, press…you guys seem to bring her up a lot.

I am not a Palin fan, but seriously the horse is dead and we all CLEARLY understand your feelings about her. Dragging her out for a few posts a day to beat on? Tiring.

When has the majority of celeb/politician news ever been relevant?

All this posturing, huffing and puffing about how bad Sarah Palin is; she’ll be a good source of ad dollars for all of the shows interviewing her. Content-wise, it will be just as useful as interviewing any other attention-starved “celeb” plugging their new reality-TV show/book/movie/album.

I don’t think The Frisky can be throwing stones over excessive Palin coverage; she ends up being tagged in news articles frequently.

Snap out of it. This is just part of her book plug junket made to look like some pithy five-part piece. And to fill in time, she’s always up for doing showstopper Tina Fay imitations.

I secretly think Barbara is doing it just to mess with Elizabeth and give her something else to whine about on The View. (Sigh, it sure was nice when she was on maternity leave.)

Don’t know about you guys, but I’ll watch for just the fireworks. Palin’s hitting the Self Destruct button in five, four, three, two, one… :D

It’s small minded people like you, Nikki, that make me fear for my country’s future. You are free to have your opinion (small-minded though it may be), but Ms. Palin is infinitely more articulate and interesting than you could ever hope to be. Plus, you don’t have to watch ABC, now do you? Perhaps the Toon channel would be better suited for one of your intellect. Your letter has to make me wonder; what are you afraid of if Sarah Palin is such a mindless twit?
