Palin's 'Real American Stories' is (no surprise) a fraud
Apparently Fox is using Palin to dump old footage on the unsuspecting public (granted, a stupid unsuspecting public that doesn't deserve better and doesn't care to deserve better anyway). They're just going to point her to her mark and she'll do that magic fakey folky thing she does (Broadcasting 101), and old clips will be resuscitated and regurgitated. The dummies at home will think this is Palin's show, but she's just a shill hawking defective product.

I wonder if she'll read her lines from her hand or a TelePrompter...

LL Cool J Not Cool With Being on Palin's New Show
+Enlarge

LL Cool J isn't going to be on Sarah Palin's show tonight after all.

The show, Real American Stories, apparently includes some dated accounts. "Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW," he wrote on Twitter.

So Fox decided to replace him with some other real American. "Real American Stories features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fit that criteria," a spokesperson told TV Newswer. (LL's real name is James Todd Smith.) "However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career."

1. "... and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career." Gotta get that last jab in.
That says it all about this fake folksey shitbag and her ilk. Somebody calls their bullshit and they go for the jugular.

2. What's laughable is that he is one of the hottest actors out there right
now with his role on NCIS - Los Angeles. They're desperate..
