Palin Pourri – Destruction of the Publishing Industry, Todd’s Fortress of Solitude, Gettin’ Hucked and More!
Going Rogue! Now for the Low Low Price of…
$8.99 and free shipping from Walmart? I think I have found my source for Palin’s memoir. Yes, I’m buying it and I’m going to read it all, so you don’t have to. I shouldn’t be so quick to say I’ll buy it. By the time November 17 rolls around, they may be actually paying people to read it.
In a battle to the death to see who can drop the price low enough to reflect the book’s actual value, Walmart and Amazon are in a price war. Yes, Sarah Palin can now add the entire publishing industry to the list of things she has completely messed up.
Critics of this business practice argue that by making best-selling books available for so little, it detracts buyers from paying the $24 for a lesser known new book. When books start to become available for under $10, people have a hard time forking over cash for books that are over $10. It is also making it more difficult for independent booksellers to compete.
Goin’ Milwaukee
We’re less than a month away from the day that her memoir ”Going Rogue” hits the shelves. I fear the worst; a giant media frenzy that will mean all Palin, all the time. Kind of like last fall, come to think of it.
In the meantime, what’s an ex-governor to do with the down time in between “writing” the book, and its worldwide release? She’s got to be flooded with requests from every corner of the nation. She has apparently whittled down the choices and made a couple decisions. That’s right, get your tickets now. First stop, Wisconsin Right to Life.
Officials say no tickets will be sold at the door of the Nov. 6 event at Wisconsin Exposition Center at State Fair Park in West Allis, Wis.
General admission tickets are $30 with a limit of four per order.
If thirty bucks is a little too much to part with, how about her next scheduled appearance at…
Hard Work U? Oh, the Irony…
Don’t think she’s a one-issue wonder, or that she can’t hold her own at institutes of higher learning. On December 2nd, at the height of her book tour, she will be speaking at the prelude to the community convocation of…. (drumroll please)… the College of the Ozarks. Yes, the ex-gov will be sharing her musings on patriotism, citizenship and civic engagement.
A local asks the question: “Maybe Sarah Palin can teach the young folks at ‘Hard-Work-U’ the value of getting themselves in over their heads in a job they’re totally unqualified for and then quitting halfway before their job is finished in order to seek a more powerful job for which they are even more totally unqualified?”
If any of the young folks at Hard Work U are Mudflatters, I hope they will take good notes and their flip camera. Tickets are free.
Meanwhile, Back at the Castle…
What is it? An undisclosed location next door? Todd’s Fortress of Solitude? A giant walk-in closet? I think we can officially call the Palin’s residence a compound. They are busy constructing a new building next door to their home on Wasilla’s Lake Lucille. Check out all the details HERE.
Ex-Governor for Hire
Know anyone looking for seasonal help? Sarah Palin has posted her resume on line! No, not on Twitter, although I bet she could make it fit, and not on her more than 140 characters venue Facebook. She’s got it up on LinkedIn, the social networking site for professionals on the move. For the sake of brevity, she’s trimmed off all those colleges that came before the one she graduated from. Why is she there?
Sarah Palin’s Contact Settings
Interested In:
- job inquiries
- expertise requests
- business deals
- reference requests
- getting back in touch
Gotta make sure to be prepared when all those lucrative invitations dry up.
She’s Hucked.
The latest from Rasmussen doesn’t look good for Palin.
Republican voters were asked about the same three candidates in July and the Huckabee finished a close third at 22%, with Romney (25%) and Palin (24%) in a virtual tie.
Rasmussen Reports notes: “It’s noteworthy that Huckabee’s gains since July are matched almost precisely by Palin’s decline.”
Both Romney and Huckabee easily topped Palin in head-to-head comparisons.
The Last Laugh
Remember that hilarious bumper sticker I posted the other day? I’ve been seeing it pop up all over the tubes since then. And not surprisingly, it turns out that some people out there don’t get the joke. I’m guessing it’s probably the same people who don’t realize that The Colbert Report is something called “satire.” Jef Beatty of Madison, Wisconsin is the humorist behind the sticker.
But some who buy his bumperstickers don’t quite get it. He says he was selling the stickers at a Madison art fair and, of the $12 worth he sold, “About 1/3 … told me I was crazy or got angry; another 1/3 laughed and the last third gave me thumbs up. One person who bought one was clearly unhappy when I disparaged Michele to someone near him.”
And what does he plan to do with the profits?
“I’ll save up my $1 apiece to fund my move to Canada if they actually make the ticket.”
A man after my own heart. And he’s in Wisconsin! Maybe he ought to set up a booth outside Palin’s event there on November 7th. Maybe nobody will notice!
I wonder if the turret on palin’s tacky new building has a great view of Russia?
My guess: you betcha!
When I first saw the Palin home improvement project size — the first thing that crossed my mind aKennedy Compound
Great minds!
I may hold off actually purchasing Going Rogue when it hits the $5.00 mark – the rate its dropping….. I may be able to pick it up by Thanksgiving.
Oh, yeah, that’s what it’s for. National Security… Now it all makes sense.
I think that turret is her version of the White House Oval Office….
Maybe she’s planning to lock up Willow and Piperin the turret to keep them from being “sullied” by those Rogue Wasillan Teenage Boys.
Might be a good place to keep them safe from her influence, at least….
I grew up in Wisconsin – it’s a pretty progressive State. The bots at sea of pee are gleeful that the rules are in place, and NO recording devices will be allowed. HA – they still do not “get” that we are in the age of technology, with tiny cameras and recorders in a pocket pen. If any of you pups live in or near West Allis, WI, PLEASE be our “boots on the ground.” I will buy your $30 ticket – just PM me at the forum with your paypal address. SP will do fine in the Ozarks and pallin’ around with Perry in Texas – but Wisconsin is a gamble, even at a pro-life event. I say this because my relatives in WI are pro-life, and they cannot stand silly Sarah.
LOL. From reading their site below, I cannot help but wonder, is Palin going there to work off her tuition????
______> College of the Ozarks is called Hard Work U for a reason. All full-time students work rather than pay for their tuition.
Yeah, no socialism!
_________> College of the Ozarks openly discourages debt and doesn’t participate in any government loan programs.
Weeeeeee! Maybe they have a witch doctor program?
——–> College of the Ozarks is committed to a five-fold mission of encouraging academic, Christian, cultural, vocational, and patriotic growth in its students.
Oops, guess Todd will need to stay home in the garage.
———->College of the Ozarks has been named a “Stone-Cold Sober School” by the Princeton Review for ten consecutive years. Alcohol and drugs are strictly prohibited on and off campus.
College of the Ozarks students experience a truly Christian environment, with opportunities to attend Chapel on campus, join Christian student organizations, and take part in Christian missions.
College of the Ozarks promotes character in young people. The College’s Keeter Center for Character Education sponsors programs and activities which enhance the development of character and good citizenship.
LMAO! “She’s Hucked”. AKM, your sense of humor is so fine.
I wish Colbert would pick up on that bumper sticker and run with it. Haha!
Bwa ha ha– great quips, mudpups
Queen Quitter’s Castle, where she can see Russia from the ramparts. And it’ll be hard to call “Going Rogue” a best seller, when there’s a price war involved…how low can it go? (let’s do the limbo now)
Change the title to: Going Cheap; Going for Next-to-Nothing…
Clarification ion my last post: I wish Colbert would pick up on the Palin/Bachmann bumper sticker and run with it.
Lori, I may be able to go, I’m going to have to see if I rearrange some appts first. And no worries, I can afford the 30 bucks
Does anyone know if she really confirmed her presence there? I surely ain’t going to go through the pain of sitting at an anti-choice rally for nothing (gaaagggg). Any other Wisconsinites interested in hooking up with me?
AKM, I was at the art fair and I cannot believe I missed the Palin/Bachman bumper stickers
Is Jef a mudpuppy too? (Maybe he’d go with me 
wes_ben, we should give a mudflat’s version of the Purple Heart for you!
Anyone else getting a little headache from all of this current news?
She’s moving to Long Island. She bought property in Montana (or was it Idaho?)
She’s building a compound in Wasilla.
She’s gotten thousands of speaking invitations and Van Flein is screening them.
She’s looking for work on Linkedin.
She’s going to make millions on her book and tour.
Her books are in the remainder bin.
She’s on Twitter. And then she’s not. And Facebook too.
She’s going to Progress Alaska Forward.
She’s the Next Great Hope of the Republican Party. Her poll numbers are cratering.
Doesn’t that part of your head just behind your eye hurt?
Whoever is advising her, and I have serious doubts that it’s what people have speculated here — Cheney, Ailes, Murdoch, Rove, Kristol, etc. should be sued for malpractice.
This is the most disjointed, ill-conceived, poorly executed “roll out” I’ve ever seen, This blog may be one of the few places where it all comes together.
But seriously folks, does this look like a well-oiled machine, or an ego-driven,
pagent contestant, backwoods world view, out of their league, half assed attempt at celebrity you’ve ever seen.
And I know that I’ve missed half of it.
Sorry Balloon Family, the Pains have it all over you.
Palins…but you know what I meant.
Does anyone really care anymore what this idiotic cracker is doing with her so-called-life? She was an entertaining inconsequential diversion, but the world has some serious problems calling for intelligent and serious solutions. Maybe it’s time to put the bimbo to bed – she has become rather tedious.
‘Pains’ says it all.

Keep her up there Wisconsin does not need some one like her.I am not able to go but i will say the anti abortion people here are not all that honest .they have people talk whom they have not checked to see if what they say is true,I guess as long as it is anti abortion it is ok true or not.And I know this from personal experience as I was with someone that went to these rallies and some of those people will not listen to reason.
This person went on national telivision and lied about a non existant abortion his girlfriend had.I found out the truth many years after the fact when he finially admitted he lied about many things.
Kevpod….Lol! Those are hilarious! Love the “Going Rogue for Dummies” among others. Thanks for that link.
Oh Dear God Noooooooooo! Keep her out of Wisconsin.
Milwaukee itself was once pretty seriously progressive, but some of the surrounding suburbs, not so much.
Surprise, surprise – there are strict rules for attending the WI event – again, the queen does not want anyone to question her, record her or repeat her word salad. THE RULES:
NOTICE:
No recording devices – No cameras – No cell phone photos or videos
No signs or banners allowed
No recording of this event will be made available
General Seating is Not Reserved
All bags will be searched
College of the Ozarks charges no tuition – students work at various campus workstations to earn their tuition, one of which is THE FRUITCAKE AND JELLY KITCHEN. I am not making this up (http://www.cofo.edu/products.asp).
Coming soon: The C of O commemorative Sarah Palin fruitcake.
Sorry bad link http://www.cofo.edu/products.asp
In my opinion, the swindling from poor uneducated and desperate citizens is being carried out masterfully and magnificently by the trio: Sarah Palin, Kristan Cole, and Meg Stapleton get the GOLD for the biggest hoax ever played out on the American Public.
I remember another famous alaskan family who had built a compound for their family, Papa Pilgrim ring a bell? Maybe our own Sarah the witch hunter is starting her own Pilgrim cult.
Fan from Chicago—Too bad the news media doesn’t get on Sarah’s back like they have on the “balloon family” . I am still holding out for the little 6 year old.
Think Wolf Blitizer is going down too hard on this family. Maybe I am wrong, but I see them in a different light. I feel they are just a very creative family.
Some people just don’t understand creatitivity.
Please don’t buy her ghost written book, even if it drops to a dollar by Christmas. Just take it out at the library, if you must.
Support your local library (if it isn’t closed due to gov deficits) and save some forests in the process.
There were 2 profiles of her on the job sight.
If they are real, someone needs to find out why she was “consulting” while in office………..
I know someone will get a cellphone into the event in wisconsin……..
AKM,
If/when you actually buy her book, would you PLEASE do us all a favor and cover the d@mn thing!! We have enough problems with pollution and trash here in Anchorage without you voluntarily adding to it.
I was counting on you reading Palins book AKM.
I don’t think we in Australia will see it anytime, in the near future.
Please give us some of your insight into this master piece.
Since the WI speech is at the Fairgrounds – a protest outside might be a better plan! Hey QUITTER, who is caring for your BORN child?
Is that the best house design a multimillionaire could come up with? The original house looks like a double wide on top of a 2 story foundation(hey,I live in a doublewide,I don’t mean to put down those that do,thats just what it looks like.Cheap housing.) The new one looks like my grandson took his old Duplo blocks and created it.
She sure is progressing Alaska by building a compound on her property! What a bold faced winking liar.
AlaskaDisasta, I would LOVE to ignore her, but I can not, not until it’s obvious to me she is no longer in politics. And, I do agree, there are absolutely many more important issues happening in the world that I would rather support. But she won’t shut up and go away. Thing is, some need to commit to keeping her tamed and I guess that is us.
I have a great temporary job for her! Since she wants to climb the political ladder so badly, a little more experience with ladders should come in handy. The oranges is SoCal and probably Florida will be getting ripe soon. She can climb and pick. Then again, there’s actually a right way and wrong way to pick oranges; she may not be able to concentrate long enough to learn the right way.
Titles for her speech in the Ozarks: “How to Be a Successful Grifter”, “How to Pull the Wool Over People’s Eyes”, “Successful Begging, Form a PAC”, “Getting Rich by Talking Little Old Ladies and Rednecks Out of Their Money”, “How to Lie, Cheat, & Fake a Pregnancy” . You get my drift, any more title suggestions? I’m sure we could come up with a lot. This woman is definitely getting on my last nerve. PAIN—is the accurate description.
That is an eye sore. Did she get zoning passed before quitting. It is difficult to see why anyone on the Lake would put up with those ugly buildings.
Over on Immoral Minority there is a commenter that says something about Todd Palin being found gulty by the AK state Senate…..anyone know anything about this?
He and nine state employees were found guilty of contempt of the senate for ignoring legislative subpoenas. That was right around the time that Talis Colberg resigned as AG. Is that what you’re talking about? AKM
@38 Wolf Pack: Zoning? Building codes? It is to laugh.
Wolf Pack–oh puleeze, zoning in the MadZoo? She got rid of permitting requirements when she was the mayor!
AKM… I don’t think any of will hold it against you for buying just one of Sarah’s book. Make sure you pay the $8.99 price…. as little as possible.
Someone mentioned checking it out of the Library but I know ‘ Your ‘ copy will get marked up with a nice bright highlighter with notes in the margins. This book will provide so much material for posts too.
I get this picture of You and Shannyn sitting down with some beverages and just laughing your heads off as you compare notes. the more you drink…
the ‘ funnier ‘ the book will be as well.

I just saw this story posted on Huffpo. I’m sure you will comment on this.
” Shell Wins Federal Approval To Drill For Oil Off Alaska Coast ”
“The Interior Department has given Shell approval to drill oil exploration wells in two leaseholds in the Beaufort Sea, which could lead to the first drilling in more than a decade in this area off the north coast of Alaska. ”

I am trying to imagine all of those sad people who threw money at poor SP when she had all of those legal debts, and the contortions they are going through to feel good about her new house. Especially those who didn’t even get a thank you card!
Do you think there is Sarah poop in that lake? =)
The best part about Palin’s $9.00 book over at Amazon? They have it paired up with a book titled “Catastrophe”.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Geez, the ink wasn’t even dry on that check from Murdoch and they start building a compound??? What in the world are they going to do for money in five years? Ten? Twenty? She’s not going to be relevant very much longer, even with the op-eds someone is writing for her. The book money will be long gone, and neither one of them have jobs. And Miss Quitty can’t hold onto her looks forever, who will be interested when a senior citizen practices her winkin’? Sounds like someone didn’t plan ahead, Silly Sarah.
I feel compelled to say a word in defense of College of the Ozarks. Historically, it was founded on some fairly progressive ideas, and to be fair it has continued to follow through on its mission, which is to provide real opportunity for a real education for young people in an area of great poverty. First as a boarding high school, now as a college. Yes it is a Christian institution, but it’s not a bible college, it’s at least in theory not tied to any particular denomination or doctrine, and it wasn’t founded as a “Christian alternative” to a secular education – like e.g. Regency U. – there was no secular alternative for the students it originally served, and its goal remains to serve those students for whom there are prohibitive barriers to attending college.
Almost all the students have to demonstrate financial need in order to be admitted. The reason the school does not participate in federal loan programs is that the students are not allowed to accumulate debt while attending – the school & students are able to make use of Pell grants and other government programs. The work requirements make it possible for the institution to be fairly self-sufficient -students do not just janitorial and service jobs, but also can learn trade skills and do almost all food production. Including the famous fruitcake.
So the students graduate with a solid resume and no debt.
So I don’t know how well this plays out in practice now, but the character education goals place a great lot of emphasis on tolerance, compassion, and of course hard work. The kind of things you hear Obama talking about a lot, in fact… but on the other hand, if the right-wing insanity has taken over there, it would not be too surprising. For decades Branson has been a magnet for retirees from big northern cities like Chicago who want to move to a place with no black people. (Not that all the intolerance is imported, by any means.)

Hi Puppies,
I actually live about 25min away from the State Fair grounds here in WI. HOWEVER, even if I wasn’t scheduled to work the night of the apparition of St. Sarah, you could not pay me to attend.
I would be unable to sit in a room full of people I so thoroughly disagreed with, and listen to a woman I so thorougly detest.
Sorry guys. Wes-Ben will have to go for the team!
I’ve been wondering why Walmart is selling her book so cheap? Do they sell other first time out books so cheaply to create the interest or make it look like a fake top of the list best seller? My connect the dots theory is this – would Murdock make a deal behind the scenes with Walmart to sell the book so cheaply so that (a) looks like it actually is a best seller when if it was sold for the $24. price then it would be a failure (b) the more books that get into people’s hands, he hopes that would raise her popularity (c) there hasn’t been enough pre sales so Walmart will have too many books on their floor. I find it strange that there would be a price war between Walmart and Amazon – does this kind of thing happen often?
Sarah’s speech to college students and real Americans:
I’m so happy to be here with you today so I can tell you that I am YOU.
I’m just a hockey mom representing Main Street USA…..except I don’t live on Main Street, I live in a turret…..on my compound….on a lake….where I can see Russia. Where I can look down on all the little people who give me money so I don’t have to work and can live the life of luxury. God Bless you all.
Also too, I have millions…just like all you real American’s livin’ on Main Street. Oh wait….what’s that? The average American isn’t worth millions, they don’t have a plane, they don’t have several houses on a lake? They can’t just quit their jobs, and then beg the public to pay their legal bills?
Hmmmm, shame.
In any case……. I know what it’s like to work hard. When I quit my job as governor, that was hard work. Moving all my designer clothes and moose knick-knacks outta that house wasn’t easy.
I also worked hard on my education. I worked so hard, I had to go to 5 colleges and it took many, many years, but I finally convinced some college professors to give me passing grades so I could get my degree. Whew…all that “winking” and “convincing” WAS hard work.
So, I’m hear to tell you today that I represent YOU and all you real American’s. Well, O.K., I represent a small minority who are worth millions, and the few who have been able to utilize their mean-spirit and good looks to progress them forward into a life paid for by others. But, that aside…..
There for too….America is great! I say we stand up for our Nation….and me! Give generously and God Bless.
MEGAMOUTH HAS NOT CONFIRMED ANY OF THIS!!!!
I agree with you Molly. I wouldn’t stand in line to see her, much less listen to her…I know what you mean about detest! Don’t you wish she would just go away and hide in her turret?
On this episode of “Slope”…A turret, a moat and a damsel in distress….And a seaplane too, also.

You made my day. Hilarious.
One thing I noticed when looking at all those close ups of her photo. Did they enhance her cleavage for her book cover? The real book, not the photoshopped ones.
Look how high it is…errr….. “shadowed”. Her chest is not that big that she would have cleavage that high on her chest. It’s showing above the zipper on her jacket. It’s unaturally high. I hadn’t seen a close up version before this, but it looks like they were trying to pump up her sex appeal….for Jesus, I’m sure. Take a look and see what you think.
Wow. Quite an “expansion of the mansion” you might say? Built with $$ from the Hong Kong visit? It sounds like her prices are sinking fast everywhere. It reminds me of a line from that Bette Midler/Danny DeVito movie (I believe it was “Ruthless People?” Unrelated circumstances of course, but the line is still funny) where Bette is held for ransom and her husband DeVito who doesn’t want her back won’t pay the asking price, and so the kidnappers lower the price. She says “I’m being marked down by K Mart!!??
Wonder if all her legal bills are paid off? I suppose now that is not open for public record. But you’d think that she or her lawyer would reassure donors that the fees have finally been paid, put to rest. She could at least make a public statement to thank all her precious donors, and provide details, a receipt?
Shouldn’t there be time deadlines about sending donations for a specific reason with Trust Funds? After all, it could be 10 years later, and people would still think this average hockey mom from Wasilla might still owe thousands because of bogus ethics complaints about her.
Meantime, she could be sitting on a beach on her own island in the Pacific, and grandma would be thinking she was doing poor persecuted Sarah a service, by eating a can of cat food until the next pension check arrives.
“Keep sending those dollars, folks, even if it’s $5″, says the schuster.
I know these schusters know there is a God. It says, “Even the demons tremble” when they hear his name.
Some of the commenters on the other site are in favor of the new house because it will provide for privacy of world leaders who want to visit SP. They can fly in, hide in the hangar, and stay upstairs with no one seeing them.
I’m wondering if the turret will have gun slits. That would be handy for a lakeward invasion.
AKM has the right idea. If nothing else, we can preserve the irony among ourselves. Henceforth, all references to the book, Facebook entries, paid speeches, etc. that suggest that SP had anything to do with their composition must be in quotes. Wrote, penned, authored, author, writer, written, autobiographer, autobiography, etc. are just some of the words that must be in quotes. Even the lowly “by” is included. No longer will it be Going Rouge by Sarah Palin. Instead it will be Going Rouge “by” Sarah Palin.
“Some of the commenters on the other site are in favor of the new house because it will provide for privacy of world leaders who want to visit SP. They can fly in, hide in the hangar, and stay upstairs with no one seeing them.”
———
Seriously?
Molly: There aren’t many, but some admirers call SP’s house the “Northern White House.” No one is complaining about the money being spent. And these are the same people who made donations to SarahPAc whenever they felt the need for retaliation. It’s sort of like the blind men and the elephant.
Palin on Oprah, November 16th.
It is either for the privacy of world leaders who would never stay at the Best Western or it is her attempt to try to get house arrest where she can roam around in a designer ankle bracelet.
What ever it is both the book and the building are being rushed.
Maybe another Waco?? a camp where her followers can go with all their guns and anti government rhetoric?
What is wrong with us??? You all know she is a “class act.” Hahaha
******kb******Palin on Oprah, November 16th.
ruh roh. omg!! Oprah is not going to be played by Palin. i am not going to miss that show.
jojobo1. i hope not. aren’t there others living nearby? i wonder how they would feel if she encourages racists and their ilk to come to that compound to commit treason against this country. it not as if they are in the middle of nowhere.
The pee’ers just know the Northern White House is for all the visiting dignitaries coming to see President Pain, you know.
Gee, what world leaders do they think will be flying in to visit the quitta’ from Wasilla?
My god they are delusional if they think any “dignitary” would want to visit Sarah, unless he was looking for some winkin’ fun.
Maybe Sarkozy, eh? Prank prank.
Possible Italy’s Berlusconi wouldn’t mind a tumble on the bear skin (just my wicked time of the day)
tamara, maybe they can fly in on Prince’s International Lover? Don’t ask my why this song came to mind when you mentioned the bear skin rug:-) But it’s cheesy and involves flying, so maybe this will be her siren song to the dignitaries:
“Darlin’, it appears 2 me
That U could use a date tonight
A body that’ll do U right
Tell me – Am I qualified?
[I say?] Baby, I know it’s hard 2 believe
But this body here is free tonight
Your very own first class flight
My plane’s parked right outside, baby
Don’t U wanna go 4 a ride? (yeah)
I’m an international lover, yeah that’s right
Let me take U ’round the world
I’ll buy U diamonds and pearls
Only if you’re good girl
Darlin’, I know it’s been a long time
Since you’ve been satisfied
I can tell by the look in your eyes
U need it real bad (real bad), U need it so bad, so bad (real bad)
Baby, maybe if you’re good girl
I’ll introduce U 2 my ride
Don’t U wanna come inside?
C’mon baby, I won’t fly 2 fast, I’ve got so-
(C’mon baby, I won’t fly 2 fast, I’ve got so much class)”
I’d love to see what the song mistress can do with this one!
Very disappointing that Oprah will promote the greatest proponent of anti-Obama racist hate speech outside of Rush, Glenn Beck and Hannity.
Whose on Oprah next? KKK? Aryan Nations? Anything for ratings?
I can’t boycott Oprah, because I don’t watch her, but I hope others do.
I’m not sure Oprah is all that well informed about Palin. After the election, she was speaking as if Palin was a victim of the GOP. She said, “I wonder if she asked herself why she would allow herself to be used that way”.
Say what?
I was furious. She didn’t understand Palin at all. The GOP didn’t use Palin, Palin used the GOP. Oprah seemed to miss that part that Palin was trying to get into the national spotlight for years and she jumped at the opportunity. She used McCain, more than McCain used her.
If Oprah is soft on her, I will NEVER watch her or buy her magazines again….ever!
Oh Oprah with Sarah should be a hoot.
As long as she doesn’t send a plane, book a hotel or pay her for her hawking her book I can’t see the downside.
It will be nerve racking for Palin. I can’t see her doing anything but making a fool of herself.

I am a pilot and it is my understanding that he needs to have seaplane rating even without taking up a passenger. The only exception I can even imagine is if he is working on his seaplane rating then he can fly the plane by himself. But then again, he has to show evidence that he is getting instruction and is actively working on getting that rating. Without having an instructor, or if there its been a long period without having had instruction along with owning the plane, I would think it would clearly show he is in violation. If he has taken up a passenger, then without a doubt has seriously violated the regulations and would in most cases lose his license for at least some period. His plane only seats two so there is not room for a passenger and instructor.
Hi, I live in West Allis and am trying to figure out whether or not I can attend. If so, I would love to be a “boot on the ground”. I have a small recording device that I would be willing to try and sneak in. I have not yeard heard how or when they are going to make these tickets available. I haven’t heard about any protests or gatherings that might be staged, but I expect to be contacted soon.
West Allis is a town that leans progressive. It is a town that is getting younger, better to balance out the ideological right. I was involved with the election last November and I believe West Allis supported Obama upwards of 60%. However, St. Fair Park is right across the street from Milwaukee which is HEAVILY democratic. I am shocked that she choose us for her first engagement.
When she was here last fall, in Cedarburg, 20-30 minutes North of Milwaukee. Cedarburg is redder than the reddest red state. There were not many groups in support of Obama, or against Palin, at the event because of the time and the fact that Cedarburg is tiny and the narrow streets were tied up very early. There was a small handful of us there anyhow.
It would be very hard to sit through anything she has to say for any length ot time. I am grateful, at least, that however bat-sh*t crazy she is, she is not a windbag.
Cheers!
