Well I think she's a good promoter of your state and I'll bet you get a bump in travel and tourism dollars because of her show.
Actually, Palin is a good "promoter" of Palin.
After reading some of these posts, one would think many people needed her to tell them how beautiful Alaska is. Do you people live on the moon? Why do you think environmentalists fight to keep Alaska as pristine as possible?
So you see, "Sarah Palin's Alaska" if she had her political way, might not remain as beautiful.
Then there is this... The Truth About Sarah Palin & Wildlife in Alaska

Sarah Palin sues the federal government over listing polar bears as a threatened species. http://www.grizzlybay.org/SarahPalinInfoPage.htm
Alaska is just a backdrop for her usual self-serving interests and bank account.

Any office, any time, she has my most enthusiastic vote. The more vitriol slung at her, the more I am convinced this is a winner in the very best meaning of the word.
A zoom lense could have been used to take close up shots of the bear but it doesn't explain why the Palins are way too close to it here:
A telephoto lenses is for more than just close-ups. Was she too close? I don't know, but you can't judge by a photo. More than likely, she was further away from shore than it appears since the camera boat has to be further away from her to avoid casting shadows and showing their wake in the video.
Maybe if it were Brenda Valentine, instead of Sarah Palin.
It is hilarious to see how shallow these accepting and loving liberals, have become.
It is rather entertaining to see the great lengths they will go to, just to discredit someone they absolutely hate. There is a long number of names, on the HATE list.
I don't think anyone hates Palin. I think she fits in fine showcasing Alaska.
It's having Palin be the showcase for America, that many have a problem with
This technique is especially used when directors want something to appear much more dangerous and dramatic than it really is.
Thanks for posting that.
If you pay close attention to the show, I thought they were pretty close at first and then there's one shot that quickly pans from the boat to the bear while zooming and you can see that they're really not that close at all. You just have to be able to pick up on those kind of subtleties to notice them in the first place.
I have no problem with Sarah Palin the woman, mother, wife, citizen, etc. She can go and raise her kids and do reality shows and speaking tours or whatever -- I have no issue with that.
What I have a problem with is Sarah Palin the politician. She has NO political knowledge, NO foreign policy experience (she didn't even know who the Prime Minister of Canada was, or that Quebec wasn't a country), NO debate skills and NO independent thinking abilities -- she just repeats far-right talking points and throws in some "gosh, golly, you betcha" for good measure. Sarah Palin the politician is CLUELESS. I think Bush II was one of the worst ever, but I'd rather invite him back for a third term than see Sarah Palin in the land's highest office. She would be a TERRIBLE president -- TERRIBLE.
Isn't it funny how times change. In the "old days" the two-faced repugs screamed against celebrities getting involved in politics and speaking out.......now they worship one. ...a really stupid one! Hypocrits with bad taste....
