Sarah Palin Holding a Big Gulp Is the New Statue of Liberty
New York Magazine ^ | March 16, 2013 | Dan Amira

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.

(VIDEO AT LINK)

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)

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.

Either it is all that organic fish and beef they eat that they catch or shes got some vitamins we all need to purchase, cause dang, those of us approaching 50 like her or older, can't keep up with her! :-)...

Liberal idiots are yelling that it was irresponsible of Sarah to promote the sugary drink since millions have diabetes and can’t stop the pop habit without Gov intervention LOL

The same knuckleheads Love Barry and Moochie shoveling down ice cream, and generally over indulging at ever turn. LOL

Diet soda is actually worse than regular soda.

If they have a big gulp, get something you haven’t had in a while....like grape or orange, mmmmmmmmm!

Tell the Nannies to screw off, If I want to Drink a Soda Pop I WILL!

All this talk of Soda is making be thirsty!

Lost Trails are made with Real Sugar!

Much better tasting than Corn Syrup.

I’ve wished to be a lot of things in my life time but I never thought a Big Gulp would be one of them.....until now!

Whether or not anyone, including Palin, realized that Mayor Bloomberg's soda restrictions wouldn't even have affected Big Gulps is not clear.

Caviling, SOBs. Once they realized it (if it's the truth, which liberal 'rat liars never tell), they would've been screaming their heads off about the "Big Gulp loophole."

There were some photos maybe 6 months ago of her shopping in NYC and she looked VERY thin.

She actually looks better in these photos. In addition to running, she is a high energy person whom, I’ve read, doesn’t require a lot of sleep. So she no doubt has to work to keep weight on.

She is small boned and has the skinny gene. If she happens to lose 1-5 pounds, it is immediately noticeable, especially depending on what clothes you wear.

I, on the other hand, as a woman, do not have the skinny gene =(.

I have to put in much effort not to get fat....totally sucks.

Now that I'm over the 40 line, it takes me much longer to lose a couple of pounds than in my younger years.

I am also not as athletic as Sarah is. Actually, I HATE athletics and all exercise!

the left sure does pay a lot of attention to what she says.

Has any of this made it to the MSM? That's the only way the average voter is going to see it.

I LOVE Root Beer.

I will even Drink the Dite Version of it.

Like I said though, Lost Trails Sarsaparilla uses Real Sugar and is Micro Brewed, which makes for a Far Superior Soft Drink! :D

Don’t know if it’s available in your neck of the woods, but Jones Soda is also made with real sugar.

Heck, she’d probably need to eat 10 cheeseburgers just to keep her weight.

She’s so active. Wish I had that problem! =)

When I played soccer, it was great to be covered by a guy with a bad temper. Just burn the guy once, and he was a charging bull for the rest of the game. He became very PREDICTABLE, and easy to manipulate for the rest of the game.

By pissing off these dimwits, we can direct their attention wherever we please, and they can be led around by the nose.

but I was told she was excluded from CPAC.

**************

Don’t know when you were told and by whom but Palin was announced as a speaker at CPAC 2013 back around Feb. 18, 2013.
