GOP drama continues: Republicans don't want Palin to upstage President Gingrich

[Are_grits_groceries]

Tonight's the big, big, big Republican fundraising dinner here in D.C. It'll be the biggest gathering of haters and losers in one place at one time since the GOP convention.

You may remember the controversy a couple months ago when Sarah Palin was invited to be the keynoter, but said she wasn't. So, the GOP dumped her -- and replaced her with their leader, Newt. That was fun enough.

But, there's been a round two. She was re-invited, then re-dumped. All to protect Newt's fragile ego:
Sarah Palin’s on-again, off-again appearance at Monday night’s gala GOP fundraising dinner is off — again.

After being invited — for a second time — to speak to the annual joint fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Palin was told abruptly Saturday night that she would not be allowed to address the thousands of Republicans there after all.

The Alaska governor may now skip the dinner altogether, and her allies are miffed at what they see as a slight from the congressional wing of the Republican Party.

The reason given for the snub, said a Palin aide, was that NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions was concerned about not wanting to upstage former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the fundraising gala’s keynote speaker.
And, there is that other new controversy over whether Palin used GIngrich's words in a speech. That would be a problem if she gave his speech right before he did.

1. Please, Lord, get the Repubs to nominate Gingrich for Pres.

It amazes me how the Repubs have some of their most obnoxious and most hated people out front as their spokesmen. I think that is why they are now pushing Liz Cheney so hard on the TV talk shows, because she doesn't always breath fire.

2. She is on Hannity tonight.

She will be talking about how Obama has ruined this country just like Limbaugh is doing today.

3. Did Newt hit on her?

I wouldn't be surprised if Newt didn't hit on her and she told him what she had wasn't bright enough to replace a light bulb; but it was a hell of a lot easier on the eyes than his little pig-face!

Republicans; they are like the trashy side of the family that shows up just to get drunk and screw up a holiday.

4. I love this drama.

It provides so much great material for our wonderful progressive bloggers here who have been having a field day ever since the night of the Reagan event.

And there are persistent rumors that she is about to face an "iceberg" that will sink her political career forever. Sitting on pins and needles.... :evilgrin:
