Speaking of ethically challenged governors, Gov. Palin of Alaska is going to the exclusive (and pompous)Alfalfa dinner this week in D.C.
President Obama will speak there-- and the Gov. wants to be a part of (horn in on) the action.
In what could be a preview of the 2012 presidential race, Sarah Palin and President 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 e-mail that Palin would be speaking at the dinner. An Alfalfa Club member, however, said that no speech by the Alaska governor was planned...
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 in honor of a plant known to do anything for a drink. Politico
First off, wow-- what a stupid event, does Obama really need to speak there? And secondly-- Palin might speak too? wtf?
Sarah's stated reason for attending;
The Alfalfa dinner, yes, in fact that's because President Obama is scheduled to be there," Palin said. "And how often will I have an opportunity to have dinner with the president? I will take up that offer to do so. Huffpo
If that book deal does come through, she might want to think of some remedial English classes. Sheesh, she can't even give a fluff quote in anything close to grammatically correct English.
Dinner with the President? She makes it sound like they will be sitting together-- I certainly hope not. The poor man-- doesn't he have enough to deal with right now?
I wonder if she will wear a full bouquet on her chest again? I am really not feeling the whole Corsage as fashion accessory thing. It's so 1920's. But hopefully it didn't cost as much as the former campaign clothing, apparently now sitting in trash bags at the RNC?! Maybe she should stop by there for a wardrobe change before the dinner?
