Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska who didn’t even finish her term as governor, is going to have a reality show on Discovery Communications TLC cable channel. They prefer to call it a “documentary series about the remarkable Governor Palin and her home state of Alaska” not a reality show. I prefer to call it affirmative action for a hateful, an anti intellectual white woman who showed up in the right places at the right times and said what some folks wanted to hear over and over again.

To some she may come off as folksy, “middle America” type hockey mom, but I’ve always thought of her as more of a battle rapper. She showed up to the Republican Nation Convention with battle rap punchlines for Obama’s camp.

She had, to quote Canibus in “How We Roll”, “many lines, more lines than a million pair of Adidas/ More lines than the bible quoted from Jesus/ More lines than a African herd of zebras”. She’s got as much bravado as any rapper and gets away with far more so this list for me was inevitable.

“Mass Appeal” – Gang Starr

Oh yes I’m greater than all MC’s when I breeze give me room please/I be like fascinatin’ when I be updatin’/ Cuttin’ off wack kids, pullin’ their trump cards/ I thump hard, and make ‘em say that I’m God

Well, she is popular in some circles.

“Can’t Knock The Hustle” – Jay-Z ft/ Mary J. Blige

Last seen out of state where I drop my slang/ I’m deep in the South kickin up top game

I think she’d want us to say we can’t knock her hustle.

“Queen Bitch”

While you struggle and strive we pick which Benz to drive

Too obvious? Too crass? Too appropriate?

“It’s All About The Benjamins” – Puff Daddy & The Family ft/ Notorious B.I.G., Lil Kim and The Lox

Tryin to get my hands on some Grants like Horace/ Yeah livin the raw deal, three course meals Spaghetti, fettucini, and veal/ But still, everything’s real in the field

Can’t Tell Me Nothing – Kanye West

“Excuse Me, is you saying something?/ Uh, uh, you can’t tell me nothing”

What do you think Sarah Palin’s show theme song should be?
