Former Alaska Gov. and GOP political celebrity Sarah Palin apparently has A&E interested in her proposed reality show. She has reportedly put a pricetag on it: $1 million to $1.5 million per episode. (Power to the millionaire populists!)
I wonder if the show could be seriously pitched at that price if it featured Eric Massa? (It would probably have to be shown on Showtime due to all the guest appearances of Rahm Emanuel in the nude.)
Or Dennis Kucinich? (It could have appeal as a SciFi show).
Or Mitch McConnell (it could be boring, though — an hour of McConnell repeatedly saying “No.”)
