Palin to RNC: Take me off fundraiser

[sabra]

Source: Politico

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has asked the Republican National Committee to remove her name from a fundraiser the committee is planning piggybacking off of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, POLITICO has learned.

Palin’s staff has twice told the RNC to remove her name from an invitation sent to donors, obtained by POLITICO on Wednesday, showing her as an “invited” speaker to the four-day fundraiser in New Orleans, timed to coincide with the SRLC event in Louisiana.

Palin, who will appear at SRLC, “will not take part in any RNC fundraiser in New Orleans,” an aide said.

The RNC invitation touts Palin along with other SRLC speakers, including Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Fox News host Sean Hannity, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), as “invited speakers” for the event.

Santorum is the only speaker advertised on the invitation who is confirmed to attend the fundraiser.

1. sarah palin is out to grab all the cash she can ASAP that's what it's all about now for her nt

[ShockediSay]

13. Exactly, her 'fundraser ' activities seem to be directed

to her own bank account after she quit her public office

2. Sarah doesn't want to go to the fundraiser in NOLA because, well,

there are all those "icky brown people" down there. We all know she's a frickin' racist teaklanner. This just proves it.

7. Maybe she will go if they tell her

she can see Cuba from there?
Then she could add it to her foreign policy resume.

3. I don't understand, she is their " chosen one " ?

[LiberalFighter]

4. Maybe others will demand to be taken off the invitation.

6. "We are cutting her appearance from the fundraiser

... and wish her the best with her fledgling political career."

9. I hate my wireless mouse. It didn't use to act up this way when I first got it.

It's way too sensitive and I have it set to be as dull as possible.

Sorry for the dupe post.

17. ROFLMAO!

"I am LL Cool J, and I approve this message."

:yourock: :fistbump: :applause: :rofl:

19. Excellent!

What a childish comment from a "news" organization.

[tammywammy]

24. LOL!

8. Mmmm

:popcorn:

[Bette Noir]

10. Apparently, the RNC is publicising people who haven't said they'd show.

I can't stand Palin, but she's right, here. She didn't say she'd be there, and she's confirming that she won't.

12. Wonder if any repugs will notice the money scams in these invites. Or maybe they just want to be

invited to the after party.... yuk!

Anyway, anyone see Imaginarium?  Great film.

After I saw the rich ladies thrown behind the mirrors
to realize their potential, and then come out giving
away their money, I think of these events now. 

Hold onto your bucks boyz and girlz.

14. What a bunch of drama surrounding that bitch.

That's right, you heard me. Bitch.

[old mark]

15. ....while Rick Santorum is hungry for anything and everything he can get.

I believe he is running for President in '12. He is an ignorant, fascistic slug and he has been a Republican Senator - oh, wait that's the same thing.

He desperately wants more attention and more media coverage and ultimately, power - Palin wants easy money.

16. damn attention seeker

[SusanaMontana41]

18. I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Never have, never will.

[pattmarty]

20. That's right Sarah, there's NO MONEY in that.

:sarcasm:

[BumRushDaShow]

21. So the party of liars

is lyin' on itself! :rofl:

[beac]

22. Yeah Sarah, it really SUCKS when someone uses your name to promote their thing when you actually

aren't taking part at all.... just ask LL Cool J and Toby Keith:

23. Wow, the Southern Republican Leadership Conference!

Talk about your Night Of 1,000 Stars!

:puke:

25. I wonder if there is a conflict of interest...

maybe she finally got a lawyer, you know, with a bar degree to actually inform her of the reality of, well, the law.

Perhaps now that she's the new paid talking head spokes model for faux news, she can't mix political fund raising with her new found vocation of news prostitution.

Plus like other people have said and I tend to agree with, she's in it solely for the money. since her halfwit hubby can't seem to pull his weight in helping to provide his share of the income, failin quitter, needs to make the big bucks to pay for her little "posse" of hair and make up mortar and spackle crew.
