(Newser) – Sarah Palin's reality TV show is inching closer to reality. Both A&E and Discovery are interested in Sarah Palin’s Alaska, the series she’s working on with executive producer Mark Burnett. The show would follow Palin as she gives viewers a tour of Alaska locales (a gold mine! fishing boats!), and she wants $1 million to $1.5 million per episode. Despite the price tag, an insider tells the Hollywood Reporter, “It will sell. One way or another.”

She can get paid five million bucks per episode for all I care. I just want that dolt as far away from any and every political office as possible.

It's so funny.. Something A&E and Discovery don't realize that many in AK would just as soon push the nit wit overboard.. or simply bury her in one of the mines.. What idiots.. LMAO
