Pallin' Around With Sarah & Bill.

From CNN:

Sarah Palin once accused Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists,” a catchphrase intended to highlight Obama’s connection to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers.

Now that the campaign rhetoric has subsided, Ayers has an idea for a new show starring his Alaskan nemesis.

“I did send her a note after the election,” he says of Palin in the upcoming issue of the New York Times magazine. “I suggested that we have a talk show together called ‘Pallin’ Around With Sarah and Bill.’ I haven’t heard back.”

I think Bill Ayers is on to something. Forget The View; Pallin' Around With Sarah And Bill would blow those ladies away!

Can I say that, or is it a terrorist threat?

I would love to work on the development of PAWSAB. Look at the iconic nature of the co-hosts! On one hand, a former '60's radical guy with an, um, explosive personality who becomes an expert in education; on the other, the source of William Kristol's 12-hour erections.

I don't really see much potential for witty repartee--Ayers hasn't been on TV every single day since last fall, so I can't draw a bead on him--but I've seen Sarah Palin day after day after day, and she just doesn't do clever.

I'm leaning towards using multiple sets. For Ayers, maybe a fiery, apocalyptic, bombed-out basement setting for his segments. I'd outfit him with eye-protective goggles and a walkie-talkie, and his guests would be shot through silhouette, using voice-distortion technology to protect their identities, even if they're famous and the viewer already knows who they are.

Ratings gold!

For Palin, an igloo. To build instant buzz, I'd do a take-off of her in that Photoshopped red, white and blue bikini holding a gun. I'd have her sprawl out on a polar bearskin rug in front of a phony fireplace for that first PAWSAB interview. I think we could get Kristol for a sit-down (assuming he's past his 12 hours.)

More ratings gold!

We're  going to need a theme song. I love the idea of original theme music, but I'm also cognizant of the recognizable; the tried and the true. Perhaps we can write original lyrics to an existing popular song's melody. Sarah and Bill can sing it as a duet, karaoke-style. 

People loved Sonny and Cher; how about "I Got You, Babe"?

They say I'm young and I don't know

And, you betcha, I don't, but I just say, "So?"

Well I know that and it's really true

But we're on TV now and I'm stuck with you

  

Babe

I got you babe, I got you babe

They say you built bombs and hated America

That you were a radical 

But maybe I'm just hysterical

I guess that's so, you know, I smoked a lot of pot

But now I just think about the timeslot this show's got

Babe

I got you babe, I got you babe

I got flashbacks, my ears ring;

In a crowded room, I can't hear a thing

And when Jesus calls, you bring me down

And if I need day care, you're never around

So let them say you bombed too long

They're right, you know, you were so, so wrong!

Then put your little mind to rest

They say you have it all 

I say you couldn't have any less!   

Babe

I got you babe, I got you babe

I got you to demagogue

I got you to kill the neighbor's dog

I got you to be the butt of my jokes

I got you to score Levi coke

I got you to assure high ratings

I got you before my star starts fading

I got you, watch out! It's gonna blow!

I got you, My Lord Jesus loves me so!

I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe

I got you babe...

Now I think I'm on to something here. Bill? Sarah? Have your people call my people.

We'll do lunch.
