The real question here…How much $$$ did The Face That Launched a Thousand Failures want for the cameo?

Playing a leech sucking the life-blood out of America is the role of a lifetime for her! Just let’s keep it fictional, shall we?

She would have played only half the part anyway.

They obviously weren’t paying enough. I don’t think Sarah takes a gig for less than six figures. Although maybe the price is coming down as her appeal wanes.

She declined because she was afraid she couldn’t memorize her line: “Hi, I’m Sarah Palin.”

wouldn’t need hair and makeup to turn her into a bloodsucker.

Nanookie of the North turned down the part because they wouldn’t let her into Eric’s vampjeans.

Gawd, talk about type-casting!!

Sounds like desperation time if you have to start offering bits to has been politicians. Did it come with a line, or was it just a walk-on?
At any rate, it seems a shame to take work from someone just to throw it her way.

Palin is holding out for a juicy part as a mindless zombie on “Walking Dead” in the hopes that her performance will inspire a spin-off to be titled:
“Walking Brain-dead”.
