Entertaining the Former First Couple of Alaska

When folks hear I'm going to Alaska, questions like, So...you gonna see Sarah Palin while you're there? undoubtedly arise. And my response is, Of course! I mean, is there a better reason to go to the Last Frontier?
A few days ago the dock was abuzz with talks of the former governor being around to film a show for The Learning Channel, wherein she'd be shown trying her hand at processing halibut. Sure enough, the next day, we awoke to find a camera set up just a few yards from the camper ("the cramper", as it's now called; three's a crowd, we've found), and the camera and Auction Block crews bustling about. We went into the processing plant where she was (daughter, Bristol, was along, too. No baby daddy to be seen, however; guess they're still on the outs) and caught a few shots. We slipped out so as not to wear out our welcome, and shortly after, as she was preparing to depart, we were able to intercept her and get some courtesy baby shots, as we know as well as anyone that no one - politician or otherwise - can resist having their picture taken with Olive.Oh, and for all you SP haters, get over yourselves! She (and Todd) were seriously as nice as they could be and just keeping it real (it wasn't like she was just trying to win our vote). Plus, all the negativity towards her is getting way old, to the point of being just plain obnoxious. She's no longer the governor of Alaska, and the 2008 presidential election happened, like, almost two years ago, so drop it. Girlfriend just wants to be on TLC, for crying out loud! Who can blame her? (Apparently liberals can -and will - find fault with Republicans no matter what they do). I choose not to affiliate with either party, just nice folks.
As for Olive...it was simply a case of being in the right place at the right time, I guess.
