Sarah Palin the next David Attenborough?

After her failed bid for the US vice-presidency, Sarah Palin is focusing her attention on the small screen and becoming a reality TV star. Palin has partnered with Survivor producer Mark Burnett to film a docudrama about her home state of Alaska, EW.com reported. The show would have a Planet Earth feel to it and Palin and her family would appear on camera, sources claimed. According to the EW.com report, Palin and Burnett have already met with all the major American networks: ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC. After they were quizzed about the meetings, one exec suggested Palin was "pitching a sequel to Commander in Chief", the TV series that starred Geena Davis as the first female American president.
