Oh boy...this is getting old. Another event, where the host touts her “invitation” (probably not confirmed) to garner attention.

She’s got over 1000 invitations... don’t even bother with this glut of “news” unless it’s confirmed.

Have a look at this one... MSNBC announcing her “invitation” as a closed deal... without confirmation.

I invited her to a backyard BBQ this weekend. In fact, the whole neighborhood is coming over and they are bringing the food a beer. I just know she will show up.

Hope she doesn’t give one of those - Obama don’t know what he is doing speeches but tell us what she would be doing.

“Hope she doesn’t give one of those - Obama don’t know what he is doing speeches “

If this a real acceptance by Sarah Palin to appear at this event, and not one of the fake ones we've had before, she's not gonna be going outside the country to trash the president of this country.
Republicans don't do that. It's Democrats ranging from Algore, Bill Clinton, Hiraly Clinton, stupid Hollywood actors and assorted left wing loons that do that kind of crap.

Actually this is an AP article carried on MSNBC.... Here is a link to others such as WSJ, Business Week, etc. If it’s not so Palin needs to issue her standard denial via Meagan now.

Not only do they say she is going(Without any official confirmation from Meg Stapleton or Sarah) but they gotta say “Her lack of foreign policy experience” what foreign policy experience does Obama have, besides going around apologizing for America every damn second. This is the new Alinsky tactic, say she is going to events, then she doesn’t go, and they say she is a flake. This is all a set-up

...will make her first trip to Asia in September.

Sarah Palin in 2007 visited troops in the Middle East. Per my understanding of geography the Middle East is in Asia. Hence, this is not her first visit to Asia. It may be her first visit to East Asia.

The geniuses at AP may need to go and learn basic geography first.

It’s not her first trip to Asia. She went to Kuwait in 2007. Unless my globe is no longer current, Kuwait is in Asia.
