Sarah Palin wants in on The View

Sarah Palin.

When asked by The Hollywood Reporter the former Republican vice presidential candidate said she was “maybe” interested in bringing some of her controversial charm to a political talk show.

“But the politics would have to be interspersed with a whole lot of fun and real life and inspiration showcasing American work ethic, because those topics are all pretty much the antithesis of today’s politics, which I find incorrigibly disastrous!” said Palin.

“It’d be so much fun to shake it up taking on issues that make audiences objectively consider all sides, and I’d do it with my own real-life groundedness, candor and commonsense that I’m known for.

Palin then went on to discuss the ABC talk show specifically.

“I hear everyone recently got canned from The View, maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America’s heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts. You know, someone willing to go rogue,” Palin told THR.

Palin also was also asked if she had read Hillary Clinton’s book, Hard Choices to which she admitted a self-absorbed glimpse.

“So far just the passage about me because an attorney sent the passage to me,” said Palin.

Presidential candidate John McCain’s running mate also praised the former secretary of state for her “boldness” in her decision not to attack her on the campaign trail on the basis that she was a woman, despite the urging of then-candidate Barack Obama’s campaign.

“How passé. How mighty hypocritical. Hillary refused to engage. I appreciated her boldness in explaining that behind-the-scenes campaign tactic of Obama’s,” said Palin.

In her newly released book, Clinton writes about why she opted out of the negative political agenda against the former Alaskan governor.

“I was not going to attack Palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women. I didn’t think it made political sense, and it didn’t feel right,” Clinton writes.

Palin, 50, is currently starring in the Sportsman Channel’s reality television series Amazing America with Sarah Palin which has been picked up for a second season.
