Sarah Palin Holding a Big Gulp Is the New Statue of Liberty

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)

I think you need a cheeseburger to go with that shake ;)

Sorry Squawk, I have never been able to find Jones here in Kansas.

I tried it once when one of my Wife's Friends brought it over, I can't tell you where she found it, but it was Very Good!

Using Real Sugar does make it taste much better IMHO.

[NoGrayZone]

Sorry if offended. I am mistakenly taken as a guy here.

[Squawk 8888]

Kind of ironic that an American product is available in Canada but not in parts of the USA. I do agree that real sugar makes a huge difference; here the big names use a blend of sugar & corn syrup (sugar prices here are a LOT lower).

Rove, Kristol, and Krauthammer are not amused.

Man-oh-man, I can't wait to see/hear their responses! My wife and I were watching her this morning, and wife says "Take that, Rove!" It was a beautiful moment. It brought a tear to my eyes and a lump to my pants.

If you're ever in Texas, try an original Dublin (TX) Dr Pepper...made with pure cane sugar...

Is Lost Trail a Missoula based company?

[mylife]

Good point.
They are becoming VERY Predictable.

I was told it on FR! You know how many conspiracy theorists we have here! I bought it. Thanks for setting me straight.

She’s been doing some long distance running and has lost weight, getting that long, lean look that professional marathoners have.

[Kolath]

In 2008, she still had her “baby fat” from pregnancy earlier that year. She’s active (fit) and certainly ain’t a couch potato.

Then we need to get more that down here.

While Lost Trails is a Company based out of Louisburg, Kansas (which isn't all that far away from where I live) and they make their Sarsaparilla there with Real Sugar.

Sadly Most of the Coca Cola and Pepsi we get made with Real Sugar (and in Glass that helps too!) comes up from Mexico

Enough to drive you mad :\

But Yes Real Sugar and In a Glass Bottle with a Bottle Cap helps brew a far better beverage!

Stick that in your Big Gulp and suck it Doomburg!

Just an observation, dose she look a little too thin? Or has she always been that thin and I did not notice?

Thin? If you consider her thin then Geez, I'd hate to see what you call fat.

[deport]

LOL.... Don’t believe everything you read no matter the forum. The announced speakers have been on the CPAC 2013 website for sometime now. I think they were added as they accepted. There were some media articles about Palin’a acceptance on 2/18 I know for sure.

She’s the best!
Always and forever!

[miss marmelstein]

I used to be on all the mailing lists of conservative groups. But since the recession of ‘08 (thanks Obama!), I haven’t been able to contribute - hence I’ve been dropped from their mailing lists.

"They talk about re-branding the GOP instead of restoring the trust of the American people. Now, we can't just ignore, though, that we just lost a big election.

Came in second. Out of two.

Second position on the dog sled team--it's where the view never changes and the view ain't pretty."
