Like Palin needs an excuse to quit?

Set schadenfreude phasers to "stun":

Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips likely assumed that scoring a dinner speech by the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate would guarantee a huge turnout for his National Tea Party Convention, scheduled to start Feb. 4 at Nashville's Gaylord Opryland Hotel. But according to Tea Party insiders, the tickets for the Palin banquet aren't selling—and some conservative activists who have already paid to attend are now demanding refunds. With the controversial event shaping up to be a potential flop, some Tea Partiers are urging Palin to cancel her speech to avoid a humiliating public relations disaster.

AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well, since virtually every one of her public appearances end up being public relations disasters, it seems to me that there's a potential solution there....

[FeralLiberal]

Avoid?

Palin is a humiliating public relations disaster.

[oldtree]

Must you print the picture? it's.. well, it's. excuse me, I need to run

[marmoset]

Pouty-pout!

[sukabi]

The race is on to see who drops who first....

I thought it would be Palin who bailed on the gig... after all, she's a "big time urnalist" over at Fux Gnus, so the $100K is pocket change to her now...

[Molotov]

you can fix ugly.......you can't fix stupid.

[Hecate]

Wow, that's not the face we practiced for the beauty pageant.

[sukabi]

If voters passed a tax cut, it would fit with the conventional wisdom. The DC brain trust won't be able to get its collective head around this one.

no, but it's the face that goes with the "Bar room Bitch eyeliner".

[sukabi]

ok, that was weird... wrong thing got pasted... should have been:

Wow, that's not the face we practiced for the beauty pageant.
no, but it's the face that goes with the "Bar room Bitch eyeliner".

[Elspeth Ravenwind]

"Wow, that's not the face we practiced for the beauty pageant."
Hecate - I just fell out of my chair at that one!!! :) Thank you!
LOL!

[Molotov]

you'll be seeing a lot more of the "pouty bitch" and less of the "you betcha bitch" as her flimsy world unravels.

[pansypoo]

the gnews love her more than real people. nuf said.

[Ferd Berfel]

did you see she bought Bristol a $60,000 Cadillac Escalade?
Because what is the number 1 thing on the list of things to buy when trashy people come into money? Stocks? Bonds? Tuition fund for Tramp, or Trunk, or whatever? Real estate?
No, a big honking ugly drug-dealer SUV.
I'd bet anything Bristol's Escalade has the gold package.

[wa ching]

60,000?
That's a Pinto in the pimp world.
People who move money don't mess with a $60 car.

[queek]

I wonder if those teenage boys who had their First Erection™ during her tight skirt campaign could get it up for that face?

[hauksdottir]

Once you take their money, you don't cancel... you simply reformat the event. What was going to be a speech for several hundred people can become an intimate dinner for a couple dozen. Palin brings her entire brood, and the organizers set up tables for ten, with each table having a Palin heading it. They would have to have placecards, otherwise everyone would want to sit next to Piper!

Considering that dinner with Palin went for more than $25,000 on eBay, IIRC, the attendees would regard themselves as extremely lucky, and the noshows would kick themselves.

[Holly]

That flag pin looks like it came from a gas station convenience store. And so does she.

[Bruce388]

Was that Sarah next to the Squishie machine?

[kate]

The sad truth is that most of those who sympathize with the tea partiers are either dead since last fall or stuck and at home waiting for their late unemployment checks and foodstamps to get in the mail.

[Pursang]

They're just looking for a way to ditch Sarah Stupid so they can book the new Teabagging Hero, Scotty "Nude Male Model" Brown. Scotty still looks hot to them while Sarah's getting a little long in the tooth.

Better start spending some of that stolen money on plastic surgery Sarah or your days as the Queen Grifter are over.

[Waccamaw]

Guess her momma didn't tell her, "If you keep making that expression, your face will get stuck in that position."

[Frances the Cockatoo]

Hey You, Asshole. IT'S HOT IN HERE!

[tellybelly]

Hauksdottir:

Because that is an intelligent and considerate way of resolving a potentially embarrassing situation, I truly doubt anything that classy would occur to any of the parties involved...

[Capt. Bat Guano]

14 minutes, 46 seconds and counting. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's almost over.

[wa ching]

But she's so beautiful...
The girls, the jewels, she comes up hard but never cruel or cool, and flauntin' money to earn it as a given from the checks in the mail from God, or some other hustler.
The Palest is part of the facts of life.
She's been through, with the help of thousands of things that work their things out on paper, a little bit of tiny bits of some Mongolian idiot kid.
So sorrow, (otherwise known as superiority) will catch your eye, and realizing that you're 5-9, you are still the tallest angel, strong even though the tide is against you and the beach and the riptide is between you and the land, the beach, and you're being sucked into a pier's barnacle-coated pilings.
Realize once again, you know how to body surf from birth, 'member that?

Trip is:
Have rhythm
Don't fight
Flow

[wa ching]

Hit it.

[kathryn'shusband]

1. I've seen that picture of her lots of times. But what I want to know is: Where was that taken? What was causing the horrid Wicked Witch expression?

2.wa ching: What in the world are you on about? Hit it.

[wa ching]

Body surfing.

[wa ching]

In other words, husband of the fabulous kathryn (I remember her in On Golden Pond at the Union Theater in Seattle.)
I don't give a shit what your midget-mind can put together, mutah fikker, 'cause your shit don't stink.
You got to smell when you enter the OR.
Shit.
We're all scrubbed up, got our masks on.
Got no body to slice open.
I'm fed up. Goin' down to the morgue, hand with McDuffy for a while, just to get the smell of death and life off of me, husband of kate.
What happens is, you head for the hills for a minute.
The Berkeley hills in before-Spring. Lilacs

What this has to do with anything, is my guess as well as yours.

kathryn'shusband:
You owe a free round.

"...some Tea Partiers are urging Palin to cancel her speech to avoid a humiliating public relations disaster."

Isn't she supposed to be paid quite handsomely for her speech? If so, lackluster ticket sales would surely make some Tea Partiers (the ones with basic math skills) try to get her to cancel.

[wa ching]

Her fee is already paid.
89 bucks. In the mail. On paper.
Realize, these Negroes are runnin' after every nickel dropped on the street.

BTW, some of these are you human codes sound a bunch like really cool Ornette Coleman tunes

[Gindy51]

kathryn'shusband, I think it was at some speech McCain was making. Her facial expression was an unfettered reaction to it.
Here's the Vanity Fair article it came from:

They invented.)

Thanks kindly. Much obliged.
