Sarah Palin TV

Sarah Palin is going to be the most chic mom at the hockey game on Nov. 5. I mean, she is going to look like a dime piece next to Joe Six Pack’s wife. But looking like a dime doesn’t come cheap.

The Republican National Committee reportedly spent $150,000 on “campaign accessories” for Palin – and you know they didn’t hit up the local Wal-Mart. Palin’s new designer wardrobe was purchased at Neiman Marcus, Barney’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. 

I’m disappointed by the Republican Party’s frivolous use of donations by McCain’s supporters. I think they’re building themselves their own “Bridge to Nowhere” by spending so much on a makeover for a woman who is already politically unpopular.

I’m also concerned.

How will Palin make use of her expensive, new wardrobe if McCain loses? She’ll have no need for designer suits at home helping Bristol take care of her baby. Not to mention, few people in Alaska will appreciate a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes.

However, instead of getting worked up about my ever-increasing disapproval of the Republican Party’s choices, I’m going to allow myself to be entertained by the coverage of this story. I’ll think of it as an episode of a sitcom – not as funny as “Seinfeld,” but Sarah Palin has definite potential to star in this decade’s “Show about Nothing.” 

The best part is that if Palin were given her own show – I’m imagining a talk show, or maybe even a cooking show – she would have an excuse to wear all of her new outfits. Problem solved.

Palin has so much to offer our country, and she can’t serve us from Capitol Hill nearly as effectively as she could from a soundstage in Hollywood or a studio in Washington.

While she could give Oprah a run for her money on her own talk show, maybe her private life would make the Osbourne’s seem functional. She could star in a reality show with her daughter’s baby-daddy, Levi. Think of a cross between “Survivor” and MTV’s “Date My Mom.” I could also see her being the new Rachael Ray on a cooking show called “Shoot It, Kill It, Eat It.” 

We already know she’s full of great one-liners. Tina Fey’s lines in her impersonations of Palin are hysterical. They’re often taken directly from transcripts of real interviews and speeches.

If her one-liners aren’t enough incentive to watch, I’m sure she’d be willing to pick up any skill necessary to keep America amused.

After all, just months ago she admitted that she wasn’t sure what her job as vice president would entail – and she’s come such a long way since then.

Finally, let’s be honest, she’s got the look. At least one Web site has been created to blog about her sex appeal.

So if you want to see Palin dressed in suits that would cost Joe The Plumber his annual salary and making you laugh while learning how to bake moose-lime pie, you know what to do on Nov. 4.

A vote for Obama is a vote for the hottest new show on Fox.
