Palin didn't start this. Others have. I have heard Rush use it and then there is this...
On my site HillBuzz, I've been calling these establishment pooh-bahs "The Cocktail Party" for a few weeks now because this is the definitive natural habitat of these clowns. I thought of the term after attending too many Republican events and seeing few people in attendance at all interested in leaving the private clubs and DOING SOMETHING, instead of having awards ceremonies and fan club meetings celebrating one another's awesomeness.
So Palin does read afterall......well there is another lefty narrative struck down:)
I can see the MSM headlines now, “Palin steals catch phrase from fringe right-wing website.”
