Palin announces speaking engagement at gun-related gathering less than 1 week after Tucson rampage
via Americablog: The woman is sick. In her twisted mind, this is yet another chance to do an "I gotcha!" on people upset about the assassination attempt against Congresswoman Giffords, and the assassination of a federal judge, a nine year old girl, and several others last Saturday in Tucson.

The woman is sick. She knows that announcing a keynote at a gun-related event, in the middle of the firestorm over her incendiary "targeting" of the congresswoman who would end up with a bullet through her brain, will be perceived as totally inappropriate by everyone but the violence/eliminationist-fetishing wing of the GOP she represents. So in Palin's world, it's a win-win, with absolutely no consideration whatsoever for the dead, the overall problem of violence in our culture, or the consequences.

The woman is sick. And she's the most popular woman in the Republican party.

1. Taking her cues from Charlton Heston
who spoke at a pro-gun rally in Colorado the week after Columbine. We were real happy about that. I hope she gets the same reception outside the place as Heston did.

2. Dear Sarah: Keep it up, a-hole.
By the time you finish with this, you're gonna look around and find your rag-tag group of followers is now down to a few stragglers.

She really doesn't get it, does she?

4. The only thing more damaging would be if the rally was to be held in Tucson.
Go Sarah!
