Palin Desperate Enough for "Housewives"

Now that she's back to being just a housewife -- with a day job running Alaska -- Sarah Palin could be perfect for "Desperate Housewives."

A source tells the New York Post the creator of "DH" is "very hot to trot" to get Palin on the season finale of the show. "Marc [Cherry] is highly enamored of Sarah and sees her as the ultimate guest star," says the source. "The idea has gone over surprisingly well with execs at Disney."
