Sarah Palin may have some ‘splainin’ to do with the conservative fans on her book tour as word spreads of her partying Saturday night with the elites of the dread Mainstream Media. In her featured “roast,” the media types even got off easier than her former associates on the McCain campaign.
Sometimes you’ve got “to trust your instincts,” she told the group. “And when you don’t, you end up in a place like this.”
The former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate stopped in Washington to be the Republican speaker at the annual black-tie winter dinner of the Gridiron Club, the 124-year-old assemblage of veteran Washington reporters. She gamely appeared opposite Democratic Congressman Barney Frank, one of the capital’s funniest people.
Ms. Palin effusively described the big crowds at her appearances around the country to sign her best-selling memoir, “Going Rogue.” On her luxe bus, she added, “the view is so much better from inside the bus than under it,” a laugh-getting allusion to the attacks from embittered McCain campaign advisers. Ms. Palin said she’d even thought that the Gridiron Club might drop its tradition of having a speaker from each party so the McCain campaign could offer a rebuttal.
Yet “on my far left,” as she aptly put it, was the liberal Democrat Mr. Frank.

My vote in 2008 was really a vote for Sarah Palin. I had the pleasure of seeing her in person here in St. Louis when she came over to address the crowd at Chaifetz Arena after her debate with Joe Biden.
I’m telling you, the venue was electric - she is The Natural.
Sarah is the real deal, alright.
She sure will.
Good to see you around, Scott!
Congrats! She did a great job with it too! : )
