“Mama grizzly” is stirring controversy with her eight-part documentary, ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska,’ which set to air on the Discovery Channel. Credo Action is gathering petition signatures to derail the show before it runs.
Malia Litman’s blog asserts that ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ will be replaced by ‘Sarah Palin’s MythBusters,’ although it’s not altogether clear whether her comments are serious or satirical. One thing is sure, Palin is a master at turning the media spotlight in her direction.
The video above is one of many parodies about the documentary series.
