Palin Blacklists Alaska Bloggers (Lefty Stalkers Barred From Wasilla Book Signing)

Excepting her bang-up performance at the Gridiron Dinner this month, Sarah Palin has an infamously fraught relationship with the media. On the one hand, frenzied coverage of her memoir ginned up sales. On the other hand, non-stop scrutiny of her clothing choices allegedly ruined a family vacation. There are costs to being constantly in the spotlight.

Now she's taken some measures to control the message. Three Alaska bloggers who crossed Palin while she was governor have found themselves banned from attending her book signings. Jesse Gryphen, Dennis Zaki, and Shannyn Moore--plus an unknown fourth--are blacklisted at Palin events. Gryphen tells the story:

I turned around and came face to face with a local police officer who quickly apologized and then informed me that I was on the "banned list".

"I am on the WHAT list?" I asked.

"The banned list sir, I am going to have to escort you off of the property. This is a private event." ...

Good - call out people who are in fact stalkers as stalkers for the world to see as such!

Hope these “people” are deeply upset with their malicious plans being thwarted.

Too bad she won’t be able to exclude critics when she runs for Prez.

LOL @ Bob J !!!!

Bob, *you* are so very funny, I'll betcha you're just waitin' for the Palin Camp to contact you so YOU can be media adviser.

These people weren't "real" reporters, rather these bloggers, a couple of whom I've heard interviewed on AIR AMERICA aren't genuine critics, not like someone like you, of your obviously High Caliber -- these peeps were mere rugrats, who prolly squeaked in glee all over their blogs when someone tried to target her with tomatoes.

Tomato Boy AND the Eggman are obvious Obama boys, LOL

Sometimes, I really wonder if she has any interest whatsoever in running for political office.
