Strange that it's off the record, but Sarah might just turm Bahney Fwank into a show stopping lisping, blubbering, and screeching fool

[STARWISE]

~~PING!

[Loud Mime]

The dinner’s December 5th, which makes this even more of a no-brainer than it might have been

I assume that they refer to Barney Frank...

[GeronL]

Did she?

Haven’t a lot of claims been made falsely about Palin speaking?

[Darkwolf377]

A little humor, particularly at her own expense, would help soften some of the opposition to her;

Indeed, since there's been NO humor made at her expense.

[Darkwolf377]

“I see Representative Frank is here. Barney, don’t forget to tip your waiter. No, the other way, Barney.”

[M-cubed]

LOL...I see a “hot bottom” joke in there somewhere!

[VR-21]

Just walking into the same room with that scummy, slimy, oleagenous, degenerate ‘BF,’ I’d have to go shower and change clothes. I feel dirty just seeing him on television. I do have to admit however..., that he really does embody the true character of the United States government.

Palin PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

Nothing in DC is really off the record.

[jeltz25]

well this club consists of all of the top DC bureau chiefs of the major papers in the country, and a bunch of top tv people as well.

Its 65 active members represent major newspapers, news services, news magazines and broadcast networks. Membership is by invitation only and has traditionally been offered almost exclusively to Washington newspaper bureau chiefs.(wikipedia)

From the article and her spokesman saying she was accepting the “invitation” it sounds like they reached out and asked her to be there. If you have any future aspirations at all it’s probably not the best idea to tell the top political journalists to pound sand and ignore an invitation to their get-together. As if they didn’t already care for her. Stiffing them like that could have been the final nail. Now hopefully she has a chance to make a more positive impression.

Despite being a big name, not many people really know her. Most of the time with big political figures all of the media knows them and it’s all a big chummy atmosephere. No one has really met her on a personal level or seen her in a more relaxed setting. This could be a start.

Or, maybe all the older guys in the club just got tired of the older white guys who show up every year and wanted some eye candy.

And with the President of the club named what he is, I don’t think anyone is surprised Barney Frank is showing up.

Hopefully she makes a joke about he was lucky that those kids who stung ACORN didn’t show up at his place.

please put me on the Palin list! God Bless, Miss Anne

[SolidWood]

You are welcome!

[4woodenboats]

Romney, Huckabee, and Pawlenty must be thrilled

Thrilled to have a crack at catching Sarah's bouquet?

;~)

[Snurple]

[4woodenboats]

THROW IT BACK!!! ;~)

>"might just turm Bahney Fwank into a show stopping lisping, blubbering, and screeching fool"

How can she turn him into something he already is?

Haven't you seen/heard his Nazi Pelosi routine with the gavel?

[martin_fierro]

May the best man win.

There you go -- we have GOT to get a camera in there!!!

Barney in Full Screech/Lisp, spluttering for the Democratic Party, ought to play like magic in every venue where testosterone-soaked "Reagan Democrat" unionists gather over manly brewskis.

Soak it up, guys -- the future of the Democratic Party!!

[lentulusgracchus]

That's right -- they rot from the head.
