Iowa GOP Recruits Palin

HP Highlight - Palin Cheat

Sarah Palin may have abandoned her post as governor of Alaska, but the Republican Party has not abandoned her. Republican officials in Iowa are "aggressively pursuing" Palin to be the headline speaker at a major fundraising dinner in the state, which is the first stop in the long presidential campaign trail. It is common for presidential hopefuls to attend the event; Palin's attendance would undoubtedly fuel speculation about her own ambitions in 2012. One prominent Iowa Republican described her as "the most sought-after personality" in the party. She is sought-after by the media, too: the Des Moines Register reports that Palin's spokeswoman's voicemail was full and not accepting new messages.

Satire to follow:
There are rumors that native Americans in Arctic Village, Alaska want Palin to attend a party. They have promised to give her the place of honor at the party. A former chief of the Neetsaii Gwich'in tribe having spent time living in Arizona is interested in sharing some Mexican Party Customs. Sarah was being invited as the piñata. The idea was dismissed by tribal elders as there was concern for the children being exposed to Sarah's stuffing.

I hope she runs so she can get smacked down by the media. She complained during her brief time as a candidate that they were so unfair to her.

I agree! Meet The Press and Face The Nation were so cruel to her! Oh wait she didn't do those shows. She got her ass handed to her by Katie Couric! (no disrespect to Katie).

I'm waiting for the day during the campaign when Palin's veneer cracks and she goes postal.

All they did was ask her questions that any middle school graduate would be able to answer, yet she couldn't answer one.

Further evidence that the GOP has severe myopia, when it concerns identifying the turds floating in their sinister soup. Should we continue to point them out so vociferously, it will only be further proof to them, that turds are in fact, delicious, and not turds at all, but visionaries with the power to lead. Hi-ho.

When B.T. Barnum uttered his famous line, I gotta believe he was envisioning the same types of people that would want Palin as our POTUS.

Palin has been trying to out-moron GW Bush, figuring that if his lack of intellect got him elected, perhaps it couldn't hurt to show off hers as well.

If ignorance is bliss, then Palin is engaged in heavenly rapture.

Here she is, Miss Alaska in the headlines again! Not because of anything we on the Left did or said, but because she just can't go one day without getting herself in the news--not a single day. We would be happy to ignore her totally, but she doesn't like to be ignored.

Soupy was big until he told all the kids to go to their Mom's purse and get out a $20.00 bill and send it to old Soupy. He was fired the next day!

No he wasn't. He went on-air the next day and said that all unreturnable money would be donated to charity. When parent's complaints increased, he was suspended for two weeks.

He was more popular when he came back.

It was 1965 at WNEW.

This is great news for democrats. As long as they stay with Palin and don't search for an experienced, intelligent, dignified republican. President Obama will remain president through 2016.

Palin is about to learn how hard it is to set foot in the Lower 48. The Iowa GOP may love her (vs. the individual Repugs running in 2010 who are asking her not to help), but journalists will be all over her decision to quit. Palin will find out how hard it is to keep the "magical thinking" cloak safely around her in environments where she can't grab a gun, a salmon or a grizzly.

This is a woman who calls a press conference in outrage over attacks on Trig--apparently, she was talking about some recycled joke posted on some obscure website. During the election it was all McCain could do to keep her from blabbing about her husband's association with the AK Independence Party, by pointing out multiple times that complaining would draw 100X more attention to something that wasnt really an issue. And she wants more attention from the national press? Is she more narcissistic or more paranoid? Or just more tiresome.
