Sarah Palin has enjoyed a long, illustrious career in quitting. She quit her job as governor. She quit attending four different colleges. She quit her reality show. She quit her big fancy cross-country bus tour, and then quit calling it “quitting.” But now, finally, after what seems like decades of dealing with her spittle-spewing, American flag vest-wearing supporters with misspelled signs, and the snotty liberal arts majors who love to photograph them, Sarah Palin might be quitting something else: being deemed worthy of our collective fascination.
Reuters reports that yet another documentary focused on the Palins and their America-saving exploits entitled has flopped harder than Bristol in a breakdancing competition.
The film, entitled Sarah Palin: You Betcha! takes “an unflattering look” at the ex-governor and made just $7,000 this weekend, only $389 per day per theater, which is about how much money filmmaker Nick Broomfeld might have expected to make per day if he’d listened to his mother and gone to law school rather than making movies about annoying politicians. People who pay attention to this sort of thing speculate that the film appealed to no one- not to Palin supporters, not to Palin avoiders, not even, apparently, to teenagers who just wanted to sit in the back row and grope each other while a movie plays in the background.
