Palin Is First Confirmed Guest Speaker At CPAC 2009
In an apparent attempt to maintain her national profile following her defeat on November 4, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) scheduled a marathon of high-profile interviews with local and national media. Her media blitz concluded with an awkward press conference and a speech to the the Republican Governors Association last week.
Now, it appears that Palin’s post-election comeback tour will extend into next year. ThinkProgress spoke with Joseph Logue of the American Conservative Union who said that Palin is the first confirmed speaker for the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC):
Palin was scheduled to speak at CPAC 2008, but she canceled at the last moment. Other conservatives who have reportedly been invited to speak include Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX).
Her former running-mate, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was booed at last year’s event and was left off the initial invite list for CPAC 2009 entirely.

Thanks Repugs!
ANYthing you do to give Palin the appearance of "leadership" in your party is a win for the Democrats.
Palin in 2012!

November 17th, 2008 at 3:52 pmSarah Palin F**KTARD!
November 17th, 2008 at 3:53 pmMark your calenders...Hey did she ever return the clothes? BTW When is the wedding for the one with child?
November 17th, 2008 at 4:01 pmThe Conservative Political Action Conference featuring Bible Spice (perhaps) as a keynote speaker : the IQ level of that room will be somewhere near the temperature it takes to keep an igloo intact.........
November 17th, 2008 at 4:03 pmShe probably called them and begged to be a speaker.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:03 pmOh yes,go lil' sarah,listen to your EGO. She'll pass out copys of her new book: "How to cook your Goose"...

- - Sarah only has 3 1/2 months to "craft" a speech so she better get started, stat. Maybe her little starburst fans Rich Lowry, Bill Kristol and Randy Scheunemann can help (a LOT) with that.

- - Bristol is due in one month. Todd is probably cleaning his shotgun as we type.

That should probably be "left off", but, you know, "left of" works, too.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:08 pmThey officially hate each other.....I love it.
Live by the sword and all that.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:10 pmThe narrative lives as someone writes Sarah's next chapter.
They need a better title than CPAC. It sounds like an antibiotic.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:15 pmHo ho. The CPAC conference is being held in Washington DC, a month after Barack Obama is inaugurated. Enjoy your time in the nation's capital, neocons!
November 17th, 2008 at 4:18 pmWould someone PLEASE put a stake into the heart of this demon!
November 17th, 2008 at 4:22 pmOh please make this Skank go away....pretty please...with whipped cream on top....and a cherry....

Let's hope Palin does not get too close to open flames...on the other hand maybe these are fire retardant.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:22 pmWait just a damn minute. When is old SamJoe going to speak? Before or after the "breast of fresh air".

Silly me, I thought that her book was called "How to Cook Your Moose" =)
November 17th, 2008 at 4:28 pmIf she's the best the reich-wing has to offer, it's more proof they hate this country.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:37 pmSome losers just don't know when to quit.
Sail your ship of fools away from me, please.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:40 pmor
Get back, get back, back to where you once belonged. You don't know how lucky you are.
What? Ann Coulter isn't in the line-up this year? Did CPAC finally get sick of her?

Don't know about the clothes, but Bristol is due the end of December. The pregnancy was announced Sept. 2nd, when she was supposedly already 5 months along. Why the wedding hasn't taken place already....? I find that very odd. I'm still waiting for news of a miscarriage or still birth. I believe Trig is Sarah's child.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:51 pmIsn't this the conference where Ann Coulter does her Crypt Keeper act?
Palin must be her understudy.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:57 pmDid you guys see this? Dick Cavett wrote it.
It starts with this:
The Wild Wordsmith of Wasilla
Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn’t ailing. Three out of these five implements — answering machine, fax machine, printer, phone and electric can-opener — all dropped dead on me in the past few days.
Now something has gone wrong with all three television sets. They will only get Sarah Palin.
and ends with this:
May I confess that upon first seeing her, I liked her looks? With the sound off, she presents a not uncomely frontal appearance.
But now, as the Brits say, “I’ll be glad to see the back of her.”
November 17th, 2008 at 4:58 pmMedia whore extraordinaire!
Too bad Frank Zappa is no longer with us. Sarah Shit-for-Brains would certainly get his creative juices flowing!
Be a CPAC slut
It's a way of life
Be a CPAC slut
See the world
Don't make a fuss, just get on the bus
CPAC Slut
Add water, makes its own sauce
Be a CPAC slut
So you don't forget, call before midnite tonite
The boys in the crew
Are just waiting for you
You never get to move around
November 17th, 2008 at 5:03 pmYou never go nowhere
I know yer prob'ly gettin' tired
Of all the guys out there
You always wondered what it's like
To go from place to place
So, darlin', take a little ride
On the maverick’s face
Can't wait for the Newt and Scarah cage match. Who will hypocritically attest to being more conservative? Who can lie more convincingly and claim higher moral ground? Which witch can pull obscure Bible quotes out and seem to make them so currently relevant?
November 17th, 2008 at 5:05 pmWhen in fact it is a sickness.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:08 pm“At CPAC 1975, one speech initiated the conservative comeback,” American Conservative Union president David Keene wrote on the invitation to the group’s annual meeting, citing Ronald Reagan’s encouraging words to activists after the “disastrous” post-Watergate election losses of 1974.
____________________________________________________________
Is David Keene suggesting that Sarah Palin could be today's Ronald Reagan? That's a frightening thought. Reagan may have today's economic collapse as his legacy, but at least he read a newspaper once in awhile and knew some basic geography.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:08 pmGood point. If Caribou Barbi is the best representitve your party can field, the patriotic thing to do is to fold up your "big tent" and go home.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:13 pmAnd Todd is the father. Incest dramatically raises the odds of birth defects like Down Syndrome.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:19 pmIsn't Palin's daughter supposed to give birth soon? If her daughter was genuinely 5 mos. pregnant the first week of Sept. as Palin stated then isn't the daughter 8 mos. plus one or two weeks pregnant?

Thanks, mary! I loved it!
okay, TP. why am I "awaiting moderation"? Was it "media wh0re"? "CPAC s1ut"? Both?
November 17th, 2008 at 5:27 pmHey! I call 'em as I see 'em!
Please Bimbostein. Do the world a favor. Go away and vex us no more with your idiocy
November 17th, 2008 at 5:32 pmIs she the keynote speaker at this year's Alaska Independence Party Keep Klondike Kute celebration?
November 17th, 2008 at 5:34 pmPlease God . . . if there is some miniscule crack in anything anywhere that Sarah can slither into to do your will . . . please God, ram her through it . . . as often as necessary/
Glory!
November 17th, 2008 at 5:42 pm"Sarah Palin Live"
What a cheap ploy.
I'd rather see her taped, in front of a live audience.
"Got enough eggs? Good, hand me that tomato, would you please?")
November 17th, 2008 at 5:54 pmPalin and her supporters are anything but conservative: they seek a radical tranformation of society and the world. They can call themselves right-wing all they want, but they're not conservative in any sense of the word.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:56 pmWith all this talk about whether Bimbostein is qualified to run for President lets check her against the George W Gump standard
1 Liar? Check
2 Moron? Check
3 Delusional? Check
4 Mean spirited? Check
5 Arrogant? Check
6 Uninformed
to an unreal
degree? Check
It seems to me that The Caribou bimbo has ALL the qualifications to be the GOP's favorite kind of President

__________________________________________________________
Not to be overly picky here, but incest has no effect on Down Syndrome. Down is caused by chromosomes in the egg or sperm not dividing properly, and the baby gets an extra chromosome as a result. One factor is the age of the mother, and the risk of Down increases the older the mother is.
Incest can cause an increased risk of other birth defects -- ones that are caused by weak recessive genes coming from both parents.
Furthermore, we have absolutely no evidence or any reason to believe that Todd has been having sex with his own daughter, and it would do us well not to make up vicious rumors just for the sake of being hateful. That's the sort of thing the other side does (Obama was actually born in Kenya, Obama engineered the death of his grandmother to cover up his manufacturing a birth certificate, etc.).
November 17th, 2008 at 6:21 pmAw c'mon missmolly. Let us have some fun.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:25 pmnot all disorders are the result of recessive "weak" genotypes. Many of the "preferred" conditions are the result of the recessive allele

No lets not. I am all for brutal accountability but NOT for baseless and disgusting smears. We want to overcome the wingnuts not destroy them or become them. Its like the old story about the two Jews in a concentration camp. One was praying and the other asked him what he was praying FOR. The first said he was giving thanks to GOD. When the second Jew asked what he could be thankful for in a place like that he answered "That we are not like them". Lets not just make up things BECAUSE they are disgusting that we have no real reason to believe just because it puts our political opponents in a bad light. One of the things I am always thankful for when I even THINK about Limbaugh or Savage is "I AM NOT LIKE THEM" nothing is worth giving that up
November 17th, 2008 at 6:32 pmwill she be giving the jeanne kirkpatrick freedom award to a gay male hustler/pornstar like slimeball sanchez?
November 17th, 2008 at 7:05 pmI think we would all be better served if TP and other responsible media declared a moratorium on Sarah Palin and other creepy critters for at least one year. In other words, no reporting of the comings and goings, no Breaking News coverage. Let the trash decompose on its own.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:07 pmi personally think all of you are very wrong. it is going to be very interesting and entertaining to watch palin speak
November 18th, 2008 at 1:25 amYeah, Palin can be the first on stage - sort of the warm-up clown.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:16 amJust like the cold war when everyone who didn’t agree with the U.S. was either a communist or a communist sympathizer. toki This poor crazy guy spent half a decade being tortured because a bunch
