Gov. Sarah Palin invited to WH Correspondents Dinner by FOX News
During MSNBC's 9AM/12PM news edition, David Shuster was talking to Andy Barr from the Politico about Sarah Palin's rapidly dropping Alaskan poll numbers. She was on the East Coast, touring with the Republican listening tour that's supposed to save the GOP.
Anyway, she was supposed to go to DC to be a guest at the White House Correspondents Dinner, but then cancelled.
Flooding in her home state has forced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to cancel an appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner
Palin told reporters Thursday that she would skip her planned East Coast trip so she could visit parts of Alaska that have been struggling with the most serious flooding in decades.
In addition to attending the dinner Saturday — a mix of Washington elite, White House press corps and Hollywood celebrities — the former Republican vice presidential candidate was scheduled to promote Alaska seafood at an appearance in New York.
What the AP failed to tell us was that Sarah Palin was invited to the dinner by FOX News. No seriously, FOX News invited her as a guest. They are trying to help her run for President in 2012.
Shuster: Why would she want to go to the White House's Correspondence Dinner to begin with, I think I know the answer, but I'll let you explain.
Barr: Well, she was an invited guest of FOX News. As you know the WH Correspondents Dinner is kind of THE event for all the A-Lister's in Washington and if she's going to be a national player , you know a lot of the other players are going to be there, so if there was nothing major going on home, this was something that definitely she could have come to and gotten a lot of attention for.
Shuster: You know Andy, you said something that caught me by surprise. I didn't realize, she was an invited guest of FOX News?
Barr: Yes, she was invited, that's correct. She was going to stay there. I believe Todd Palin is sitting in for her.
Shuster: Alright, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut on that one...
OK, it must have been Greta, right? And they still want to be called a news organization....
But you missed the better nugget. Sarah cancelled, but Todd is gonna be sitting in for her. Did I hear that right, Todd is going to the WH Dinner, with Fox? God I hope he snogs Greta that night! He can ensure, and crash and burn her 2012 hopes in one fell swoop!
And spit soup all over my screen. DAMN YOU FOX NEWS! Honestly, they've moved from irrelevance into full blown clownhood.
and their license to broadcast shit like calling for President Obama to be killed, people to riot, etc. This fake news channel has jumped the shark to hold a license.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
n/c
it certainly isn't news.
me-oww!
Politico invite?
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."

and palin is using todd as a 'stand in'? why not whore out one of her kids again?
Alaska is suffering from some of the worst flooding in decades? Must all those glaciers starting to melt off, thanks to global warming. Wonder how Sarah feels about that?
Bet it's gonna be one long, hot summer for Alaska. Pretty soon they wont have to worry about $11.00 a gallon heating oil, anymore.
...fuckin mosquitoes this summer. It'll be $11 an ounce Calamine Lotion. AK gonna be all damp.
me-oww!
I hear them thar Alaskan skeeters get as big as Canadian geese.
Anchorage 'Airport.' She said they loaded about 700 lbs of fuel onto a mosquito up there before the realised it wasn't some Boeing brand.
:P
me-oww!

Democracy is too important to be entrusted to politicians.
Rise Up!
Protest!
Not that global warming is funny, but...Ahahahahahahaaha!
Let Colbert host again!
Doesn't that mean we all need to become Faux News supporters?
Sarah 2012
Palin/Jindal
maybe Palin /Keyes?
So we need some legal way to start a betting pool on the potential running mates for Palin. candidates being Jindal, Keyes, Gingrich, etc...
Each entry would cost, say $1, and the payout would be split amongst those who made the right choice, much like a football pool, with the only stipulation being part of the pot would go towards a big clown party.
Big clown party? No way I'm giving money to the GOP.
Palin/Plumber 2012
Dumb and Plumber ...
Palin / Zombie Raygoon.
Palin / Bachmann
Thank God. At least Gonzo has someone to talk to now.
Did he get his memory back?
talk about a meeting of the minds.
i can only surmise that a todd palin/alberto gonzo "conversation" sounds like a grunt followed by a giggle followed by a fart followed by a giggle.
Fox the GOP propaganda network!
Fox-duh the new Pravda, why do propagandists have to claim "truth" or "fair and balanced" in their bannerheads?
ones a states sponsor of propaganda the other a stated sponsor.
is making her cancel her appearance...
The river flowing through Wasilla has ice-chunks the size of houses, and the temp is in the 70s
Keep swimmin' Sarah...
.
Democracy is too important to be entrusted to politicians.
Rise Up!
Protest!
Must be the vast left-wing conspiracy against Saint Palin!
Murdoch has a history of king making (AND breaking) in Oz, Blighty and here.
me-oww!
this will serve to demonstrate that he is losing his touch.
I'm hoping it's the case of a doddering old fool turned by a 'pretty' head.
me-oww!
Neither Uncle Rupert or the Godzilla From Wasilla are prizewinners.
I used quote marks around the word, as in 'not really.'
That's not an edit either. I always use them around the word 'News' whenever FOX is involved as well. Cuz it's 'not really.'
:D
me-oww!
... but it still amazes me that there are men out there who think Sarah Palin is totally MILF-y.
"... if she doesn't scare you
No evil thing will;
She's like a spider waiting for the kill ..."
I did not want ANYONE to have the slightest misgiving as to my true opinion however...
me-oww!
Fox News is unbelievable. The Glenda Beck deal yesterday with the ACORN guy and now Greta getting Palin an invite to the WH Correspondents Dinner. Why can't the knuckleheads who take Fox News seriously see how they are being manipulated? I t just mind boggling how ridiculous they are. Why don't they just get it over with and call themselves the "Republican News Agency"?
... you put the word 'news' in there. News, to me, is a factual account of events.
FOX is nothing but propaganda with shit frosting.
Greta didn't get Sarah an invite, she's bringing as a guest. It's like your sister bringing your ex to your wedding. Your ex wasn't invited, but the other guests get to see her!
Now if she mingles she can get to claim this as further foriegn policy experience. Isn't that how she claimed to meet foreign embassadors, they were in teh same room she was in!
I think that Faux should register as a PAC or something.
Isn't it ... questionable ... for a media outlet to be picking up the tab for a politician to attend a dinner?
Most media corporations have strict policies about the gifts they can fairly receive from vendors, and government runs along the same lines.
Yea...it's called journalistic integrity...and since Faux has no integrity, it must be alright for them to Todd to the WHCD.
I have to take yearly web-training courses on business ethics and decency standards. So does my wife, who works for AT&T.
Since Sarah isn't going can she still claim travel expenses? Let's watch for that to break in the news next month! I'll bet she claims it and gets paid.
I think that one-trick pony has already fled the shed.
...this weekend(to have a deep conversation with Sarah(or Bristol) concerning the GOP future of course).
(n/t)
"parts of Alaska that have been struggling with the most serious flooding in decades."
so Palin cancels dinner to head back home and start working on the ark.
I don't see how she's gonig to fit 2 of every animal plus all those babies of hers.
with her witchdoctor!
Is it a news gathering agency, or a part of the fossilised remnants of the Greedy Old Plutocrats, the PAC and/or PR arm of the party? It can't be both.
Until this is sorted, their press credentials should be held in abeyance, their table canceled at the gala.
me-oww!
... the fact that the people reporting the news are also the ones who determine what qualifies as news. Ergo, STFU and be a good, mindless consumer while we fill your empty little heads with Republitard bliss.
Typical GOP meme. What is not explicitly forbidden is legal.
gone 'round the bend -
and Fox"News" with it...
the question is: who's driving?
and around which of the three rings?
... first went in the direction of Tolkien.
Three Rings for the Elven-Kings, etc. - though the GOP seems to be typical of the men who bought into Sauron's lies and accepted the Nine Rings.
I was thinking circus. either or.
Yea...the Elves were wise and in tune with nature, not exactly characteristic of the GOP. Dwarves might be a good comparison, except that they stayed underground and were rarely seen. Trolls on the other hand....
it's evidence of a liberal conspiracy. Fox invites a future presidential candidate to a media event, crickets....
Volcanos erupting and record floods in Alaska, what's the baby Jesus trying to tell Sarah?
I don't think it is drill baby drill
Or kill, baby kill!

It's kind of asinine to go on a wolf extermination campaign in Alaska, when some of the states in the lower 48 are trying to reintroduce wolves in to the wild. I mean c'mon do the math.
probably go for that wildlife refuge gas Alaska throws in some free wildlife as a premium.
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
a retractable cubit measuring tape. Find thee contractor friends, and build thee a barge for free, for thy family and Todd's silk under rayments and Greta the Scientologist. Taketh a rifle, to shoot drowning sinners and wolves, and be not tempted to Samaritan-style empathy."
She's going to base her entire candidacy around dissing the opposition...so how well did that work out for john kerry?
Now pass the pipe.
The thing is that the only people who take her seriously is the 21%ers. Really! I hope she runs and that Limbaugh gets her nominated. I wish I wish I wish. Of course the Democrats will have to do the correct thing after that because I wished for George Bush too. I didn't think he had any chance what-so-ever but at that time we had Gore, not Obama. Big difference.
Fredo wheedled an invite from his hometown paper. Guess he is desperate for attention...that is not from Federal Investigators...
... just might as well come out and proclaim that she wants to have Moosegirl's baby.
Her fawning over Caribou Barbie is sickening.
and here I thought Van Facelift's career was over after OJ got off. How wrong I was.
If a drone kills a child in Kandahar, do the crying parents make a sound?
Umm, why does Todd need to sit in for her? Is he going to take the microphone or something? Why would she need a representative in her absence and by the way, who is looking after the kids?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
It was either him or Ted Stevens. Faux musta chosen the lesser of two evils.
is looking after the kids?
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
Want the short answer?
I guess Trigg and Nometry will be changing thei9r own diapers.
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
Ahahaha..good one, Ricky.
If a drone kills a child in Kandahar, do the crying parents make a sound?
where free travel, hotel room (with mini bar, no doubt) and media whoring are involved.
The way Rupert is making money these days, a serious grazing by Todd and guests through his hotel room mini bar could put News Corp in a bad way.
me-oww!
... she's not attending the dinner so she can 'visit' (i.e. photo op) the most seriously affected areas.
Why is Palin's effort in this regard AFTER the flooding has already happened? Was there adequate preparation and emergency response BEFORE, or is this another, "Well, y'see, Laura and I swing past here every few weeks, and we see progress," moment?
when they are blatantly promoting political figures
i mean allowing the rnc to use fox as a bully pulpit was one thing,
now they have truly crossed the line into the propaganda network.
which reminds me, when will all of the news agencies just change their names under the collective network moniker of "pravda"?
If she got the nomination I think Obama could win with 79% of the vote.
Oh. I think she should run for Prez in 2012. That will be hilarious. I highly doubt she'll be able to get as far as the general though.
Don't "misunderestimate" the power of Rush.
it sits too close to fulfilling the end times as documented in the mayan calendar.
She's so cute when she tries to act all governory.
A real shame she canceled on that, it's literally and figuratively the closest she'll ever come to the Oval Office, and she passed.
will someone just think about the babies????
is that only an act of god will force her to stay in her state
