Sarah Palin: Fundraiser.

The Alaska governor and 2008 Republican nominee for vice president will deliver the keynote address at a dinner raising money for the Republican Party's House and Senate campaigns.

The annual Senate-House dinner will be held June 8 at the Washington Convention Center as the GOP starts raising money for congressional campaigns aimed at regaining some of the losses the party has suffered in the last midterm elections and last year.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) chairman of teh National Republican Senatorial Committee, calls Palin one of the party's most popular leaders and recognizable face.

Palin, he says, "represents a breath of fresh air from the business as usual crowd in Washington'' -- which we suppose would include the likes of, well, Cornyn.

Later on stick around for the swamp expose "Water Is Wet" and the big scoop "Bigger Houses More Expensive than Smaller Ones." Everyone has to know that an almost instantaneous side effect of the democrats hate campaign to destroy Sarah Palin would be that her popularity with conservatives would increase conversely to the level of hate expressed by the democrats.
I'm really looking forward to that report on the wetness of water, guys.


Good luck with the water is wet story, though, Mqrk!


uh oh- there's that Palin name again... get ready for the liberal all inclusive "we are the world" posters to follow with well meaning but passionate attacks on Palins speech pattern, family, newborn child, and religious views...can't wait.


Is it me or have the Republicans turned into a hilarious episode of the Simpsons? I understand Palin herself not realizing she was used as a pawn (an unsuccessful one, by the way) in the 2008 election... but don't the folks who used her know it too? These guys just can get it right.. I'm actually starting to feel bad for them.


Hey Heartburn!
Happy to fulfill one of your expectations!!!
Word salad, word spray, and pettifoggery come to mind when one is cataloging descriptors of Alaska's GINO's speech patterns!!
P.S. GINO stands for governor in name only.

Well- as long as you asked.. it is you..


It's nice to know that "journalists" can't type either.

For the real story about Palin's politics visit:

You can't cry foul when your party trotted her out as a potential V.P.

She is in the spotlight. She's newsworthy. So is her family, just like every political family for decades.

It's not the media's fault she's dumb as a box of rocks.

I just hope she doesn't fade from the limelight.


For all those who want to say NO MORE SCUMER, NO MORE PELOSI, NO MORE RANGEL, and NO MORE ENGEL.


Why is this moron still on the national stage? Is the GOP so bereft of values that it prefers a washed up pole dancer to a real conservative with some credibility?


History will record that the independent frontier spirit that makes Alaska great has produced and unique public servant. Thank you Alaska!


Palin is too dimwitted to realize she's being used by the dysfunctional GOP. And if Palin is the very best the dysfunctional GOP can put foward, they are in a sorry and pathetic state. I guess her clueless supporters drool all over themselves about her because she's from Alaska or something. May they suffer more losses in 2010.


I've heard people compare the presidential election process to an American Idol competition. I think this past election shows however that American Idol contestants are more thoroughly vetted than our candidates are.
If SP had the same amount of time as BO had to learn to use a teleprompter effectively, take a Rosetta Stone English course, and had undergone hypnosis to prevent winking and smiling then she would have done much better.
Let's make the next election more like the AI competition and throw in a pole dancing week where Josey with all of her years of experience can teach the contestants to perform.
Whad'ya say Josey? Strobe or no strobe?
wink wink


GO SARAH!
Please run and win the presidency so that at least at the end of 4 years, we can begin to put this country on the "American" path.
We are so far from "America" , that it will probablly take years to fix it.

Sarah Palin’s Racism


I once said, actually more than once, that I hated black jellybeans. I never meant it to be a racist remark. I just didn’t like licorice, or “licorish.” I also favored cowboys in white hats as opposed to those guys in black hats who always seemed to be evil in one way or another. Even worse, I thought Sarah Palin was a very decent, intelligent, and caring woman, and a great Republican vice-presidential candidate in the last election.

I was almost proved wrong, not in my distaste for licorice and affinity for white hats but in my estimation of Sarah Palin.

Imagine my surprise to learn before the last election that she was a racist! How little I knew. I kept trying to understand why and how she became so bigoted and prejudiced that she could sink so low as to tarred with that vile epithet and I resolved to get to the bottom of the charge.

Maybe, I thought, it was somehow related to her job? Palin is the chief executive of the State of Alaska, in acreage the largest state in the union and, incidentally the only state in the union that seems to be weathering the current recession. That the governor is managing to keep Alaska solvent when so many other states are gasping for air, and begging to be stimulated by Obama, is indeed commendable but accomplishing that feat can’t rationally be explained by her racist attitudes so the cause had to be found elsewhere.

Maybe the pernicious seeds of her racism could be traced back to something she said? She certainly said a great deal to the condescending, supercilious Charlie Gibson but Palin said even more to the perky, wily Katie Couric.

Couric is widely credited with “bringing Sarah down” and the Republican ticket down last November with her CBS interviews of Palin, which also served to save Katie’s job. However, even though the governor flubbed some answers to Katie’s questions, nothing she said could even remotely described as racist.

The answer must lie in the governor’s personal life, it just had to since nothing else makes any sense and her life is so filled with negatives that it’s tough to remember them all.

Let me count those negatives. . . .
