Sarah Palin is Coming to a Town Near Me!

posted by opiman000

Well, imagine my surprise!

At first it was assumed by many that Hugh organized this, but, no.

This story was in my local newspaper and I also found it in the Hamilton Spectator.

It was just announced a second ago on my local news.

And, of course, it was in the Huffington Post.

The comment thread is fun.

The history of the fella who considers Palin a "coup" for the fundraising organization is quite the character, too.

"Former HECFI head Gabe Macaluso, a member of the committee organizing the dinner at Carmen's Banquet Centre, said confirmation of her attendance just came in. More details will be announced today at a noon news conference at Carmen's."

Gabe is also suing my provincial government. The Lottery Corp. to be specific. Seems he is upset that casinos still let him in to gamble...even though he told them he is a problem gambler. So he is suing the govmint for aiding and abetting his habit.

Sigh. Yikes. And yuck.

There are just so many things wrong with this whole story...not the least of which is the fact that uninformed Americans will think that Canadians are on the same page as Palin.

Please, please, please, can you not keep Palin in Alaska? She can look out from her porch and just wave 'hi'. That's plenty.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. It's the money Lebowski.

This pretty 'christian' is not donating money to a cancer centre...the pretty 'christian' is collecting money. $200,000 for Word Salad.

That's all Canada Needs ... (none / 0)

... to see how USA's conservatives behave, giving our's ideas on how to be Radical wingnuts.

I don't get it .. what could anyone in Canada possibly think they'd gain by listening to that retarded twit ?

Sarah Palin and the likes of her, should not be permitted to enter Canada, Now or Ever.

opiman000, I am so, SO sorry! (none / 0)

On behalf of all Americans, please accept my deepest apologies. We've loosed a terrible plague on the world, and we can't find any way to contain it.

But maybe someone could drop her off somwhere in the middle of the tundra in the Northwest Territory?

Please?

The cold and blizzards should keep her out of our hair for at least a couple of weeks,

: There's one in every family (none / 0)

So what can you do ?
But we'll gladly dump her in the artic. She ought to feel right at home there.
However, I'm not too sure about the environment. Contrary to Sarah's beliefs, she'll likely find herself Sinking in the Muskeg .. Snicker !!
No Perma-Frost for Sarah

You missed one; (none / 0)

The poll is missing the option: Throw a party and show support!

Palin running for President is the best thing that could ever happen to the Democrats.

Please everybody, do everything to make that happen. The comedic potential is unimaginable when she really has to show up in a debate during the campaign. I would pay good money to see that.

Everybody, please, stop being so serious and give her a chance.

: Run, Sarah, run! (none / 0)

Just think what could happen if we had Feingold or Dean running against Palin. Just one debate with one of them (or with any other candidate of even average intelligence) -- just one! That's all I want!

If it's true... (none / 0)

...that this runt sub c for r (pardon my French but that's the nicest term I can think of) is taking $200,000 to speak at a fundraiser, anyone who lives near Hamilton (I do) should show up to heckle her as she arrives and as she leaves. (I wouldn't pay a nickel to get in.) Who's looking after your baby, Sarah? What would Jesus do, Sarah? Speak in tongues for us, Sarah.

Wonderfully sad. (none / 0)

Bush came to the little city of Saskatoon about a month and a half ago. Taxpayer cost for police security for the event? Somewhere between $200-250,000. When Clinton came a few years ago? $12,000.

However the astonishing thing was the amount of support he had. I have lived in the city my entire life, and like to think I know a lot of people who live there, NONE of whom support Bush or his policies. It's just disheartening that so many of my "progressive" neighbours are sadly, still, neanderthals.
