Palin, Obama to share stage

[onehandle]

Source: Politico

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 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.

1. NO! I HATE Politico.

They're like bad soap opera writers.

Obama's peeps need to make sure Palin doesn't get close to him.

2. Very misleading headline. Obama will speak, sarah will sit and listen.

4. They are in NO sense "sharing the stage". He's the President, she's a shitty-ass nothing-burger.

8. Palin spokesman said she "would be speaking at the dinner"

Guess that means, "Could you please pass me some more of that watchamacallit?"

9. you've got to be kidding

That's like saying Thomas Jefferson will be sharing the stage with Woody Allen..good grief she's a bore. (no offense to Woody Allen fans)

11. Will Palin actually speak, or is this more media fabrication to perpetuate Palin's 2012 candidacy?

I kind of hope she speaks and shortly before Obama's address to the group. It would be like listening to an accomplished concert pianist after some kid's first recital playing "Chopsticks."

Thanks, "liberal" media.

14. She's doing the best she can to rid herself of her overt stupidity.

Sorry, failin, but hanging around intelligent people doesn't make you smart by osmosis.

15. Talk about spinin' it for the Palin

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.

16. Oh, man... how could he demean himself... sometimes politics just sucks.

[asksam]

17. Hopefully, at some point on that stage...

Barack Obama walks over to Ms. Palin and says, "You're under arrest." and orders the guards to take her away.
