I don't give much credence to the rumors floating around the Net that Fox's Entertainment Group has bought the rights to that old Della Reese series about three cherubs tasked by Jehovah with walking the earth to give hope to the depressed and downtrodden. Fox reportedly is planning to rejigger it as a reality TV show for Sarah Palin.
The former Alaska gov. reportedly will be traipsing around the country, pressing the flesh with the common folk whilst doling out miracles, a new stove here, a box of pampers there, even a nice vinyl siding job to some poor slobs stuck in a double-wide.
In addition to preaching the impending Armageddon heralded by the election of the anti-Christ Barack Obama, the Republican sexpot dubbed "Caribou Barbie" likely will remind the lumpen proletariat that the GOP loves them.
According to the New York Times, the uncrowned queen of the Tea Party movement recently sold her documentary series Sarah Palin's Alaska to The Learning Channel.Discovery Communications, TLC's corporate parent, described it as a “documentary series about the remarkable Governor Palin and her home state of Alaska.”
This set off the recent spate of rumors that she has signed an even more lucrative deal with Fox, for whom she hosts the series Real American Stories. Ratings for the show -- which debuted on April Fool's Day -- have proven disappointing, according to the Huffington Post. Thus, there is a desire on the part of Fox executives to "rebrand" her.
Why don't I believe it? Because the Internet rumor mill says Fox has changed the title to Touched by an A$$hole. (Yes, the dollar signs are part of the title!) Now, if this were MNBC they were talking about...
I'm looking forward to the new series
