If Sarah Palin understands anything, it's the theatrics of a speech, and she can get a crowd riled up better than pretty much anyone in the GOP. That's how it went this afternoon at CPAC, where she launched a fusillade of caustic zingers at President Obama, Washington, and the professional political consultant class. At no point, however, was the packed audience louder than when Palin stuck it to the man by whipping out a Big Gulp full of "pop" (soda) from behind the podium and posing for the cameras while taking a big, freedom-loving sip.

Outside the ballroom afterward, CPAC attendees raved about the stunt. "Hilarious." "I thought that was awesome." "I loved that." One woman I spoke to said the moment "just really symbolized American freedom." A man named Tomas told me that Palin holding up the Big Gulp "gave a new look to the Statue of Liberty."(continued)

Love that picture
Of course. We need to have a Texas or Midwestern version of CPAC, sans Grover Norquist and the other freaks.
Just an observation, dose she look a little too thin? Or has she always been that thin and I did not notice?
Total fail. Sarah kicked their a$$!
The liberal “Lie’o’sphere’ is going ballistic. LOL
For crying out loud, that wasn’t even an issue a year and a half ago when it was used for real.
Give it a break now.
She is 100% fine. :D
She runs daily, helps her husband fish commercially and has a large family, including a special needs child, so I doubt she’ll gain much weight in the near future.

Bless their hearts.
Isn’t being on offense a hundred times better than being on defense?
Like the Junior Senator from my state said, she drives the soulless elites bat-crap crazy.
Yeah for someone who is supposedly “irrelevant” the left sure does pay a lot of attention to what she says..because they know what we know, she could destroy the progressive agenda in 5 minutes if the media were not pieces of dog poo
Never knew it was an issue a year and a half ago. Sorry for asking.
It’s not only what she said, but how she said it. Words are words, but your presentation of words is what really matters.
She spoke with humility and humor, just as us regular folks do.
She spoke TO us.....not AT us.
—— I am looking forward to the caterwauling and sniveling of the professional freedom-hating class in the media ——
Rove, Kristol, and Krauthammer are not amused.
I recall after that New York vote and getting a huge soda at the movies here in Seattle. Raised my glass and in my best Mel Gibson Braveheart voice yelled “Freeeeedddoooommmmm!”
What are you saying?
That Kruthammer-Kristol-Noonan-Will-Brooks etc etc will have their panties in a wad?
Good!
Perhaps they need this..
Wasn’t an issue then, either. :D
No problem, just keeping the story straight.
I LOVE the super big gulp, lol. Screw you nanny bloomterd!
Should we expect anything less?
