E! is giving the former Governor of Alaska the “True Hollywood Story” treatment a week from today. The network’s just released a few details that offer a surface glimpse of what to expect. I’ve highlighted what I found interesting, especially a quote from Lyda Green, one of those GOP-types who aided and abetted Barack Obama during the ’08 campaign through the undermining of Palin in the heat of the battle. As you’ll see in this clip, Green was more than happy to be used by and useful to the Left-wing media.
Here’s part of the E! announcement:
From her days as an Alaskan teenager to her highly scrutinized life today, this brand new THS is a fresh look at Sarah Palin and premieres on April 21, 2011 only on E!
Family, friends, former classmates, colleagues and journalists help paint a picture of the young Palin and describe her life – as a college student, sportscaster, fisherman and beauty pageant contestant – before the glare of the national spotlight. …
“She was so new on the scene and so different,” says Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla resident, about Palin’s nomination for VP. “I mean she can skin a moose. The whole back-story thing makes her so different. just feeds curiosity.”
“People can’t tell the difference [between] what she said and what Tina Fey said and they just sort of accredit everything to Sarah Palin,” says Jay Newton-Small, Political Correspondent, Time Magazine.
“She came home to absolutely no friends. The Democrats who she had worked with no longer had much to say to her. So, it wasn’t a big glory coming home,” says Shannyn Moore, a political radio host.When Palin decided to resign as Governor, Lyda Green, former president of the Alaskan State Senate, recalls, “it was my understanding that her own family didn’t know what she was doing. Her husband was out fishing and [she] said, ‘you gotta come and be here’ and you don’t call someone in the middle of fishing season unless it’s very important.”
Obviously, Green is attempting to paint Palin as erratic, the kind of person who would make the momentous decision of resigning her governorship without talking to her family, specifically her husband Todd. The charge is ludicrous on its face and Palin’s recent autobiography goes into great detail about the process she went through in making that decision, which naturally included her family.
Unfortunately, Ms. Green is unable to get her smears straight. If you watch the Maddow clip linked above, she conspired with Rachel Maddow to help paint some sinister picture of a Todd Palin with too much access to the Governor’s office. Now, less than two years later, Ms. Green wants us to believe that same Governor and that same Todd Palin never discussed the decision to resign.
