Her what? Someone owes me a keyboard.Sarah Palin wants to be the next Judge Judy — even though she doesn’t have a law degree
Sarah Palin is no stranger to reality TV, and now she has her sights set on something even more potentially lucrative: a daytime court show.
The former GOP vice presidential contender recently signed a deal with Warm Springs Productions, a Montana-based company, to star in a new courtroom reality show (think “Judge Judy,” “Cristina’s Court”) where people bring her cases. According to People magazine, which first reported the news, the production team will include Larry Lyttle, an executive behind “Judge Judy” and “Judge Joe Brown.”
Unlike Judy Sheindlin, Joe Brown and Cristina Perez, Palin doesn’t have a license to practice law. However, Warm Springs spokesman Howard Bragman tells the Washington Post that while she lacks a law degree, Palin “appointed judges and took in facts and passed judgment” in her role as governor of Alaska. An unnamed source echoes to People that Palin works as a TV judge because of her “telegenic personality, wide appeal and common sense wisdom.”
And "appointing judges while governor qualifies her for this" sound a lot like "I'm qualified for foreign policy because you can see Russia from parts of Alaska"
