Mad

According to Hollywood insiders, failed VP candidate and quitter Alaskan Gov Sarah Palin has been offered a lead in a hot new TV show written and directed by the same people who brought you the Emmy Award winning and uber-hip "Mad Men." The period show, MAD WOMEN, is set in the 1990s and will follow the lives of five middle-aged women who have decided to enter into the male-dominated world of politics.

"A general lack of focus and coherence threaten to destroy her career"

Buzz around Hollywood is sketchy at the moment but if the rumors are true, Sarah Palin will play the central role of Susan Perin, whose complicated private family battles and general lack of focus and coherence threatens to destroy her career. Soleil Moon Frye, unforgettable child star of "Punky Brewster," is set to play her wayward daughter, Crystal. Daniel Stern, from "Home Alone" (1990) and "City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly’s Gold" (1994) has been cast as her philandering scheming husband, Rodd. True Lies (1994) Tia Carrere plays her Becky Beckistone, her seemingly close friend and assistant who's secretly out to destroy perennial victim Perin.

In addition, Erin Gray (from the ‘80s TV series Buck Rogers) will play cut-throat Congresswoman Michelle Bleakman whose secret affliction (Tourette's) and a campy doctor hubby threaten to destroy her career. Sara Gilbert, famous for her Emmy-nominated supporting role of "Darlene Conner" on Roseanne, has been cast to play cash-strapped Sharia Angel, a Utah conservative politician with an secret obsession with germs and her.refusal to be interviewed threaten to destroy her career. To round out the talent, Alicia Silverstone, whose smash hits include "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" (2004), will be portraying the erratic but lovable Christa O'Dell, the scatterbrain, no-holds barred candidate from Rhode Island with a penchant for hunky men and dangerous liaisons. O'Dell's dark history of Satanic cults threatens to.. make her a laughing stock of the entire nation.

Count of this show to be a lot more steamy than Palin's previous single season bomb, "Sarah Palin's Alaska. After only the first episode, audiences were unexpectedly bored with gawking at the woman.

"It'll get her a lot of attention. And she likes that.'

"With there being nudity in our show," promises one unnamed staffer on the production team, "she'll no doubt make a point of showing her ass sometime during the season. It's not nice and it's not pretty but it'll get her a lot of attention. And she likes that. A lot." Others on the set agree. "Oh this'll be groundbreaking TV, that's for sure. It's a whole new genre. We are just calling it 'fictional reality TV' and it fits Sarah Palin like a glove." Producers of the show, however, were adamant about one provision in Sarah's contract. Lynn Gwenny, the show's executive producer stated, "We stipulated that Palin had to complete all 23 episodes of the first season. We didn't want her to quit half-way through the season."
