In what could be a preview of the 2012 presidential race, Sarah Palin and Barack Obama will share a stage together this Saturday night in Washington, Politico has learned. The Alaska governor and former GOP vice presidential nominee, making her first trip to the nation’s capital since the election, will join the president at the Alfalfa Dinner, a venerable gathering of the city’s political elite. The president is scheduled to address the black tie crowd at the Capital Hilton. Palin spokesman Bill McAllister said in an email that Palin would be speaking at the dinner. An Alfalfa Club member, however, said that no speech by the Alaska governor was planned. The duo would not, though, be heard by the general public. By tradition, the old world gathering, now in its 96th year, bars reporters. Quotes from the rostrum do, however, tend to find their way out to reporters in the lobby. It’s a light-hearted affair, with political types playfully roasting themselves and one another. The dinner is put on by the Alfalfa Club, an exclusive list of about 200 movers and shakers whose only purpose is to throw the annual dinner on the last Saturday of January. The name is honor of a plant known to do anything for a drink. Comprised of mostly older white men, the group didn’t induct women until 1993. Blacks were only welcomed in the 1970s. Presidents, though, almost always attend and speak. And aside from the real thing, club members always nominate a mock candidate for the highest office in the land. The “nominee” is then required to give an acceptance speech. Should Palin be this year’s lucky nominee, she’ll be in good company: Three honorees have actually gone on to actually become president – Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

Palin is a suckpoop goy. I remember her gushing to Biden during their debate how great it was for America to support Israel.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, and a comedy to those who think.
Sshh. Don't tell that to her fans on this site. They all think she's the second coming or something like that. It's like I told somebody else. When I saw Caribou Barbie and Hairplugs have a pissing match to see who loves Israel the most, my only thought was how much I would like to see both of them dropped into the Mariana Trench with cinder blocks around their necks.
Great news, boys and girls! The circus is in town! See two clowns for the price of one!
proof positive they are birds of a feather collaborating to keep the two party fraud going...
Another good example of this is Bill Clinton and Bush 41's travelling Laurel and Hardy act.
I clicked on this thread expecting something much more risque and, dare I say it, explicit.....
_________________________________________________________________________ I don't think she has any fans here. Perhaps you mischaracterize the exposure of the hypocrisy of the obampaphiles/demoflaps in criticising her and not the chimp and his vice-chimp in the white house. Obamaphiles can leave the site and GTH for all I'm concerned. Two-party fraud believers are deluded. The time for "discussion" is over. It's time to close ranks. Divided we fall. Any who haven't yet been caught admitting they were for Omessiah will be bozod when and if they do.
