BETHESDA, Md. — Sarah Palin boasted to a group of anti-abortion advocates Saturday that she had a chance to attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner — but chose to spend her time with them instead. "The pro-life cause or White House Correspondents' Dinner? I choose life," Palin told a crowd of about 200 at a fundraiser for the anti-abortion advertising group Heroic Media.
Palin said journalism's nerd prom didn't have the same appeal for her as presidential hopefuls who attended, like Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman. "You really see evidence of that influence out there of — you know — the celebrity, how the news is, and the political arena, and how it all kind of meshes together. That's what the White House Correspondents' Dinner is," she said.
So instead Palin spoke for more than 45 minutes at a "Jews for Sarah" gathering at a hotel here, a rare public appearance outside the confines of her contributor slot on Fox News. She never mentioned Israel during her remarks, but she stumped hard against Planned Parenthood and abortion rights advocates, encouraging her listeners to continue fighting for "positive pro-life messages" in the media.

She has her priorities straight. See the tag line...
BTTT.
She’s a rock. It’s her POTUS to turn down.
I do too. I've read they've all gone since Coolidge although I'm unsure each has gone every year.

Odd, what they made up she said, they did not put into “ “ marks, but did so for what she actually said? S/off
Well said.
Party AFTER the dinner.
Hope Sarah is aware the my (Indiana) just signed into laws 'to de-fund Planned Parenthood' and to 'enact school choice' and 'teacher merit conditions'.
I applaud Mitch Daniels for these accomplishments, something, he said upon signing, he had been wanting to accomplish for many, many years.
I am starting to believe that our great States, one at a time, are going to circumvent and put the hammer of justice to creepy federal 'social' rules and regs that impede the voice of the voters and strive to put the States into chains.
Yep. Palin should stop going to the WHCD and Gridiron dinners. She should see them as entering enemy territory and so be prepared to hit back....hard. Why would you want to socialize around people who viciously attack you on a daily basis just to stroke THEIR egos?
“There’s nothing negative about being “anti-abortion”. There’s no reason not to embrace that characterization.”
But pro-life is better, which is why LMSM replaces the word.
I remember when Reagan was President, and the MSM was all the time carping about Nancy Reagan's wardrobe. One year, at the Dinner, Nancy came out and did a short musical bit to the song "Second Hand Rose". It was fun to watch, and it was a terrific poke at the MSM.
Sarah would have a LOT of ammo, in the figurative sense, to use against the MSM.
