$25,000 for a cup of coffee - with Palin

[El Supremo]

It's been years since a cup of coffee cost a dime, but $25,000?

That's the price tag to sip a cup of Joe with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is slated to arrive in Colorado next week. Republican John McCain's running mate is holding a fundraiser Oct. 4 at Centennial airport where "VIP coffee" is $25,000 a person, according to the invitation.

Breakfast and a photo with Palin after morning coffee is $2,500 a person and breakfast without a photo is $1,000.

Tom Kise, spokesman for the McCain campaign, said Palin does not have any public events scheduled in Colorado during the short visits.

1. Donate $50K and you don't have to go

That voice could curdle the milk in your latte.

2. I personally wouldn't pay twenty five cents

to see her in person, let alone have coffee with her, but hey, that's just me.

3. I suppose I'd ACCEPT $25k to sit down for a cup of coffee with this nut.

I mean, for the good of my family. I owe $60k on my house- That would pay it off almost halfway for what, an hour or so of mind numbing? Oh, wait... I'M supposed to pay to have coffee with HER? Uh, forget it then.

4. If Joe happens to be at the Amtrak station in Wilmington you can have a cup with him there

unfortunately he's not been at the station as often but it goes to show that Joe Biden really is your average Joe.

6. So...I guess that's 100K to boink Caribou Barbie in the back of her plane

7. I really don't want to go here but I can't help it .. . .

Let's see. They are flying her around the country so that old men can pay big bucks just to "be" with her?

Isn't that a violation of the Mann Act?

[sui generis]

8. well I guess she's qualified for photo ops.

That's the only reason I vote for anyone for president.

:eyes:

Could they have found a less qualified, more irrational, less worldly hairdo with legs? The rest of the world had their doubts about how stupid the Republican party is before now, but those have since been cleared up.

run little moose, run.

11. If McAss' campaign will be suspended tomorrow

then Palin should forget about flying to Colorado and fly back to Alaska and answer for her crimes.

12. Or...

I can spend 1.70 CAD$ to get a MASSIVE fair-trade coffee with the creamer of my choice and support my uni's left-wing student union.

I'll take Option 2 for $2,000, Alex.
