Someone Needs to Give Sarah Palin Her Own Reality TV Show

Given the stuff that has surrounded Sarah Palin's personal life, someone should create a reality television series starring her and her extended family. Not only could it be the biggest hit reality show since The Osbournes but Palin's family makes Ozzy Osbourne and his family seem like the Cleavers by comparison. Check out what has been revealed about Palin's family since Sarah Palin made her ill-fated decision to become John McCain's running mate in his failed effort to become president.

Her husband and self-proclaimed "First Dude" Todd Palin has ties to the Alaska Independence Party, whose ultimate goal is to have Alaska seceed from the rest of the United States and become an independent country.

The National Enquirer has claimed that Sarah Palin slept with her husband's business partner.

The same publication also claims that her oldest son, Track, was hooked on OxyContin and that he only joined the Army in order to avoid getting arrested.

Her oldest daughter, Bristol, had a stoner reputation just like Track. She was initially rumored to be the biological mother of Sarah Palin's youngest child, Trig, until Sarah Palin announced that not only was that rumor untrue but that Bristol was actually pregnant with her first child at the tender age of 17.

The father of Bristol Palin's baby, 19-year-old Levi Johnston, originally posted the following on his MySpace page before he made that page private: "I'm a fuckin' redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes. But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some shit and just fuckin' chillin' I guess. Ya fuck with me I'll kick ass." He also added that he didn't want children. Ooops! It's obvious that he didn't use a condom so he would remain childless.

Sarah Palin has said that when it comes to sex education in public schools, she favors abstinence only. Well, judging on what happened with Bristol, apparently Sarah practices what she preaches. Had Bristol been exposed to other birth control options besides abstinence, there's a chance that Sarah Palin would not become a grandmother for the first time at age 44.

Sarah Palin attended a church whose Kenyan-born pastor has talked about how he has hunted down and driven away witches.

You'd think that now that the elections have ended, the drama surrounding Sarah Palin's family would subside. Well, you'd think wrong since it has been revealed that the mother of Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin's baby, was recently arrested on drug charges. And this arrest happened just days before Bristol Palin, now 18, gave birth to her baby, a boy named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.

Sarah Palin has three younger children who are still at home who could provide plenty of reality TV fodder. There's a possibility that one, two, or all three of them could do something totally outrageous. Yes, I know that her youngest child, Trig, was born with Down's Syndrome but that doesn't mean that he can't do something dramatic and crazy in the future. I still remember watching the TV series Life Goes On back in the late 1980's-early 1990's, which featured a character with Down's Syndrome named Corky Thatcher (who was portrayed by Chris Burke, who had Down's Syndrome in real life) and there were plenty of drama surrounding him (like his marriage to a woman who also had Down's Syndrome).

And then there's Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. He's like Barack Obama in that he was born to a mother who was just 18 at the time. Barack Obama was lucky in that he had access to a pair of supportive grandparents and his mother seemed to be able to make something of herself rather than go down the dysfunctional route. Given little Tripp's family background, that poor kid doesn't seem to be quite as lucky.
