The gist:
Quote:
Palin makes her hosting debut Thursday night on Fox, as captain of an interview special in Greta Von Susteren's 10 p.m. slot. The show is called "Real American Stories," and the New York Daily News explains that it chronicles "people who have overcome adversity and more."
Among the success stories Palin plans to highlight are those of country music star Toby Keith, former GE Chairman Jack Welch, and a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. LL Cool J (birth name James Todd Smith) was also included in the roster

The problem is that no such chitchat was produced for the Palin show. LL Cool J, star of "NCIS: Los Angeles," tweeted Tuesday night: "Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW."

That's funny enough as it is, but this next bit is the funniest fucking shit of all!!!

When contacted by Yahoo! News for comment, Fox News provided us with a statement:
"Real American Stories features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fit that criteria. However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career."

LOL! The tone of that statement is fucking incredible! And for those who may not realize this, LL Cool J has been acting in movies longer than Palin has been in political office (1991 vs. 1992 - close but still)! So she is good enough to be governor, VP nom, host of a show on their network, but LL Cool J is in the midst of a "fledgling" acting career? Seriously, we have a fucking media corporation putting out a statement like that? Sounds like someone left their baby by their speech-recognizing computer and put it out as a statement.
