Sarah Palin's Alaska Fake Hunter Episode hits Ratings Low

[RamboLiberal]

Here's what we are learning from ratings roller coaster that Sarah Palin's Alaska appears to be on: the country is not interested in hunting and fishing, but is very interested in Palin's family dramas.

The ratings scorecard thus far:

2.8 million viewers on Sunday, which was down from 3.5 million last week, which was up from 3 million in the second week, which was down from a record-breaking 5 million for the premiere.

Both drops -- the second and fourth week -- were episodes that centered around Palin's outdoor activities and killing animals. In the second week she was clubbing halibut and this past Sunday the entire episode was dedicated to a hunting trip that culminated in Palin shooting a caribou.

If Palin was hoping to use this show to bolster the pioneering woman image she's been so keen on since entering the spotlight these ratings would suggest that the country is interested in the image more than the reality of actual pioneering (at least where hunting is involved). Sort of the political equivalent of liking your steak served rare without wanting to know how it got to your plate.

I imagine the ratings will go up a bit just to watch the train wreck of the Palin's & the Gosselins. Looks like Kate Gosselin might make even Sarah look sympathetic.

BTW - hunters are calling out little miss fake hunter. Her dad actually had to load and work the bolt on her rifle between each shot. What a phoney!


• Palin's father chooses a "varmint rifle" for the expedition, even though they are going caribou hunting. Why did Palin not question this choice?

• Palin fails to 'sight-in' her rifle before setting off on their hunting trip - a basic error which might help explain her four misses

• Palin doesn't carry her own rifle or load her own rounds - a point picked up by a commenter on her Facebook page, who feels this shows she isn't a "true hunter".

• Palin is clumsy with her rifle and doesn't look like she regularly handles one. A Facebook commenter points this out, mocking her for asking her dad, "does the rifle kick?"

-----

• When Palin is handed the second weapon, with which she finally bags her caribou, she immediately puts her finger on the trigger. As all hunters know, this is dangerous: one should only finger the trigger when one is ready to shoot.

1. I have never hunted

So I don't know at all, but from the sound of the article, apparently Mrs. Palin took five shots at the caribou. Do caribou hang around for five shots? I would have thought the first one would be sufficient to spook an animal into leaving the vicinity. Five shots seems like Mrs. Palin found the caribou with the least-developed sense of self-preservation ever recorded.

2. They probably had it super glued to the tundra.

3. Don't know about caribou but deer would've been gone

in a flash.

9. Hunting by Cheney, TLC by Playskool

that thar moose was drugged.

[Bucky]

10. The caribou did run. It ran all the way to Russia. So she shot it from her front porch.

What did you expect her to do in the middle of a caribou hunt? Quit?

13. They probably got it from a petting zoo (nt)

[roguevalley]

17. she lies and doesn't hunt. she lies. By the way, we have

caribou around here that pass by like flocks of birds and they are awesome. I don't like hunting. I don't do it. Her killing a beautiful animal like this to lie to people about the size of her balls is evil.

Did you know that if you try and transport them, they can die of fight? We learned that the hard way when transplanting them here and there on our peninsula.

4. Failin's future in TV can be summed up thusly ...

[lunatica]

6. Well she does have shit for brains

So yeah.

[Better Believe It]

5. Will there be an episode of Palin shooting her mouth off or is that in every episode?

[ejpoeta]

7. i never really minded her having a tv show. i figured she'd look like the idiot she is

sounds like she looks like a fraud too. i was hoping she's show herself. i'm sure the lemmings will ignore the inconsistencies. but if it disillusions her from some then it's worth it.

[RamboLiberal]

11. Yeah the lemmings are blaming the production crew

For making her look bad. And making all kinds of excuses for her.

[ejpoeta]

12. figures. you know the interesting thing.....

when everytime you open your mouth or go somewhere and you look bad or don't know the answers or say something stupid.... at some point you must look at yourself and see that YOU are the problem not someone else.

15. One was claiming she has carpal tunnel

8. Can't wait for Sweeps Week!

:woohoo:



:P

[Playinghardball]

14. Palin..... the 'Great White Female Hunter'?

BRAWHAHAHAHAAAA

[Whisp]

16. and what is saddest about all this - people won't care.

it will be endearing for Sarah to be a bald face phony liar. After all, don't we all tell a little white lie now and then? *giggle *giggle.

but let Obama either almost yell or not almost yell loud enough and he's ended all the benefits of all known and unknown free worlds and is a traitor to mankind. People get so outraged at him!!!! exclamation marks! last straws flow by in the ill wind!

I truly believe there is something nasty in America's water than makes them as dull as warm butter in the thinking department. what the hell else could it be?
no other country on the planet is as docile and incurious and just plain idiots.
