Sarah Palin's Haiti Visit: Blink and You'd Miss It (No matter what, attack Sarah Palin!)

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's visit to Haiti was over faster than you could say cholera. Palin spent less than 48 hours in the earthquake-ravaged nation that's currently facing a growing cholera epidemic that has already killed more than 2,000 people, and mounting political unrest due to a contested election. Palin was accompanied by her reality-TV-star daughter, Bristol, and her husband, Todd. And she mostly remained off-limits to media organizations except for Fox News, the network on which she serves as a news analyst.

The trip to Haiti had been planned a month in advance, and was hosted by the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of famed evangelist Billy Graham and founder of humanitarian organization Samaritan's Purse. During the weekend, Palin visited a couple of cholera treatment centers in the notorious slum area of Cité Soleil. Palin made herself briefly available to the media on Sunday at the headquarters of Samaritan's Purse, alongside a depot with temporary-shelter materials — the organization has built about 10,000 temporary shelters since the earthquake.

Haiti is the fourth country outside North America that Palin has visited, and she said her impressions of the poorest country in the western hemisphere were "much harsher" than she had expected.....

Yes! I see Greta, too.

RIGHT and odumbo didn't see Harzai - the weather, ya know?

If you read GretaWire, you know that Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse is giving out 8 million presents in 110 countries to kids this Christmas. But for the generosity of Rev Graham and Samaritan's Purse and the thousands of volunteers and contributors, the 8 million children would not get gifts. I went to Haiti this weekend to be part of that gift give away (and to check on the cholera situation and the aftermath of the earthquake) and brought my husband with me. Check out below the pic of the excited kids about to get gifts. In this pic my husband is the one distributing the gifts.

Here's a few pictures from my trip to Haiti with Rev. Franklin Graham...we're here to give out gifts to children through Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child.

Gov. Palin is also here to help Samaritan's Purse.

Nope, I’m sure they meant Bristol’s stint on Dancing With The Stars where she and Mark Ballas won Third Place, much to the lamestream’s anger and disgust...lol.

I tend not to care what people who need 48 hours to say “cholera” have to say.

[marron]

Or put in Clinton's pocket

You remember the Clintonists taking over the Haitian long-distance telephone service? The head of DNC paid hundreds of thousands a month as lobbyist for the Haitian government?

[tinamina]

OH MY GOD!!!!! Obama spent ________ hours there and this is all Sarah Palin could afford? How dare she even show her face in public? Reallllllly

[sarah palin rocks]

Obama and FLOTUS have been AWOL on Haiti!

God bless Sarah Palin and Franklin Graham for their efforts to bring hope and relief to the suffering Haitians!

LSM is bitter because that’s the truth.

“Nope, I’m sure they meant Bristol’s stint on Dancing With The Stars...”

OMG! I watched the youtube video of their Argentine Tango around five times tonight...I love it!

Nailed it!

Was Sarah Palin expected to stay a week? Maybe a month?

No...just until she caught cholera

[PghBaldy]

48 hours? That is a long time for something like this, especially considering who she is, how long Obama spent talking to Karzai (on the phone 15 mins) when he was in Afghanistan, and how long he spends on vacations and golfing.

[syriacus]

I’d say 48 hours is a long time to stay in a country which, Time admits, has civil unrest and cholera.

[ehvsteve]

How long was Obama and families vacation on the Gulf Coast of the US?

[GoCards]

Has anyone from Time Magazine been there? Im sorry I havent seen Obama there either?

[Vinnie]

She spent 45 hours more there than Zer0 spent visiting the troops in Afghanistan last month.

Onyx
I truly admire you and your husband for your service and devotion.

Hope you get a Cabinet post. :)

(Sure as heck beats Martin Sheen’s sleeping on a sidewalk grate to ‘help’ the homeless)

[Graybeard58]

Why hasn’t Obama cured all the cholera there?

[Lion Den Dan]

<>And that's what pi$$ed them off more than anything else, they were denied a "got-ya" moment!

What really irked them is that Mrs. Palin did not catch cholera and die.

[Jack Hydrazine]

What about all of the horror the Haitian people have experienced since independence? That’s the kind of third world basket case that just keeps on giving!

[Oztrich Boy]

You think that's bad,

Just google the phrase "tightly stage managed"
