I watched tonight, if only so that I would know I was responding to what the show really is, rather than to other people'r reactions pro or con. I guess I expected to see Alaska showcased to some extent, with a substantial amount of political "wink, nudge". I should have known. Out of the entirety, there were a few lines from other people, and a very few lines from Palin, which didn't have at least a blatent self-serving subtext.

Club that fish, kiddo; show 'em that I'm raising a real all-American blue-collar daughter.

I do hope that a certain fraction of people who have been ambivalent about her get burned out on her air-headed babbling by watching.
