Palin, reached at an Anchorage restaurant where she was starring in a dinner theater production of “Gypsy,” had no comment

A day after the barely-unemployed Condoleezza Rice hotfooted it up to Manhattan to sign a deal with the William Morris agency (see yesterday’s MobyLives report), it seems Sarah “Hey Remember Me” Palin has also selected an agent, and as expected it’s Washington attorney Robert Barnett.  A story in the Hollywood Reporter notes that the deal could also signify Palin is interested in more than a book deal: “There also has been speculation that she has potential as a TV personality, along the lines of other prominent politicians who have transitioned to television, like Mike Huckabee. In the late 1980s, Palin worked as a sports reporter for Anchorage television stations.”
