There's a rumor that Alaska's soon-to-be-former Gov. Sarah Palin has quit her most recent job she couldn't handle, to take up an offer to go onto CNN. How will that work? Simon Dumenco from Advertising World gives us a glimpse:
WASILLA, ALASKA (Feb. 18, 2010) -- Once again shocking the media establishment, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced that she was leaving her CNN talk show, "The Sarah Palin Power Hour," after just four months on the air and well short of the terms of her two-year contract. In an echo of the manner in which she announced her resignation from political office last summer, Ms. Palin spoke to a small gathering of reporters at a hastily called press conference at a moose orphanage in Outer Wasilla, a suburb of Wasilla reachable only by dog sled. With her family at her side, she stated that, "I believe I can better progress the cause of broadcasting by working outside of broadcasting."

Oh my gosh! Too funny, stop making my stomach hurt!
Thanks for sharing, read that while listening to Shannyn...overload!
Very funny and spot on spoof by Simon Dumenco. Considering Palin's history of quitting, it could very well be prophetic, too.
Nice to hear you on Method. You are always a voice of reason!
I know you read your comments so here's one that my hubby just came up with that made me laugh really hard and this is off topic, so I apologize. Being the musical genius that you are I know you will appreciate it and hopefully it will make you laugh.
We were discussing the upcoming Gov picnics and getting friends and other's together to attend and he starts singing "Teddy Bear Picnic". Somehow I missed this piece of music in my childhood so we went to YouTube and found a version from 1932 spent a few minutes singing and replacing "Teddy Bear" with "Gov'nr Palin".
I think it could be reworked as a theme song for the Governor's Picnics!
Thanks again for keeping us so informed.
That was funny. As with most jokes, probably not far from the truth.
“In Alaska, Sarah Palin squares off against the blogosphere”
In the battle of Sarah Palin vs. Shannyn Moore, there is at least one winner: the lowly weblog.
Although much has been made in recent years of the power of the Internet to change politics - the netroots, the unlikely rise of Howard Dean’s web-fueled candidacy, the multimedia machine that helped send Barack Obama to the White House - it’s rare to see one personal blog play such a major role in American politics.
Well, welcome to Alaska, where the bloggers have clout, the Twitter feeds run free, and one very angry “Mama Grizzly” has aimed her ire in the general direction of the World Wide Web.

Oh poor baby, a weeks work of vicious attacks.
Please Phil, the woman brought this upon herself, no pity party here.
Tell us more about your source who's sometimes connected to CNN.
You guys are a piece of work, that's for sure.
Sorry to go off topic here Phil but I just discovered something that I believe should be breaking news for all Alaskan progressive bloggers...
