I have to say this - I think the Palin fight in Alaska: Publicity stunt [View all]

The Palin's do not think like normal people do. Sarah Palin's career seems to be someone who happens to be at the wrong place at the right time which took her from mayor of a small town in a small state (Ok yes Alaska is a big state but the population is smaller than Delaware) to governor of that state, almost a heartbeat away from 2nd in command of our country and now the darling of a bunch of racist idiots who want to return our country to it's racist origins.

Even if the guests weren't aware of the stunt I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't somehow planned for the publicity. Something just seems awfully fishy about all of this and I can't figure out what it is but it just seems all too planned. One thing Sarah Palin has honed over the past 6 years and that's how to keep her name in the news even though she hasn't been relevant for a long time. Sure there's the teaparty that still loves her but even Faux News has grown bored of her. My guess is the Palin Network News isn't getting the subscribers the way they thought they would.

Thoughts?

And btw I could be wrong it happens.

Maybe Palin bought the thing with her loot from working at Fox. The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2014 #10

Or all that donor money from the 2008 campaign LynneSin Sep 2014 #11

Sarah tasted the highlife during the campaign. Remember all the designer clothes in the belly of FSogol Sep 2014 #17

Your equation may be missing the 'crassness coefficient' for the Palin clan JHB Sep 2014 #19

You rent a limo when you plan to consume alcohol in mammoth quantities. bullwinkle428 Sep 2014 #28

I can't afford a limo if I'm drinking that much LynneSin Sep 2014 #30

You know, I wondered the same thing tularetom Sep 2014 #5

honestly I am on the fence about it. Maybe because it is the Palins I assume it's fishy LynneSin Sep 2014 #8

This happened last weekend- it is a distraction story for the corporate media J_J_ Sep 2014 #7
