Palin goes rogue, bans cell phones, cameras, laptops from speech
(CNN) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is set to deliver remarks at a Wisconsin Right to Life event Friday evening, one of the few speeches the former Republican presidential nominee will have given since she resigned the governorship last summer.
But Palin appears to be doing her best to keep a low profile on this trip: no press will be allowed into the Milwaukee auditorium where she will speak and those who have paid the $30 admittance fee are unable to carry in cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind.
Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate told the Wisconsin Radio Network he finds all these restrictions "bizarre."
"You know, for someone who claims to be a rogue and isn't afraid of what other people think it really is sort of hypocritical to not let the media, the press cover your event."
Meanwhile Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus said he's excited Palin is coming to his state, but stressed the party has nothing to do with this event or its limitations.

Palin's speech comes a day after a new national poll suggests the former Alaska governor may face some obstacles should she decide to run for the White House. According to the new Gallup survey, only about one in three Americans would seriously consider casting their vote for her.
The speech also comes a week and half before Palin's highly-anticipated memoir "Going Rogue: An American Life" is released. The Alaska Republican will commence a national book tour soon after and sit down for high-profile interviews with Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters.
Oh dear....say it ain't so!

Only 100,000,000 Americans would seriously consider voting for her? Whew- that's a relief!
It's the legs, I tell you. They are legs that can bring down an empire- legs that can bring men to their knees- legs that carry a set of hips and a waist and breasts that salute the flag with a perky, "Howdy, Pardner! Wanna go beat some rats?" Yes, Sarah Palin's legs are an American phenomenon unequalled since Marilyn Monroe's boozy "Happy Birthday, Mr. President."
It's been too long, America: throw down your high-falutin' "principles" and take a roll in the hay with the prettiest little filly to hide in the barn since My Friend Flicka. And she winks, too!

No Media? Not letting people have there cell phones or any type of recording device? I'm bet they will have a list of people, they want to keep out at the gate too. I'm on the fence w/ Obama right now (not the way teabag's are,) but these are the tactics of a fascist or communist dictator.

Haven't you heard the news? Mavericks hate the media.

Who cares, she's not going to make it and she's going to be another britney spears looking for attention in the next few months.
-
U Betcha she does not want records of ignorance or insanity.
-
Its makes perfect sense, no record of what she said and when she puts her foot in her mouth, its her word against you. When you spew hatred and know it can lead to violence you sure don't want your name connected with any waco who might act on what you advocated.

i guess it's back to the old pen and paper to take notes...or is that considered a recording device too?

One in three people would consider her for President? That means 1/3 of our country have lost their mind. That means there are that many people listening to Fox Anti-News. This is truly scary.

Remember the movie A Christmas Story well....Your gunna shoot your eye out! I can only hope.She is a nut case.

Well at least she "learns" from things that happen to her. Someone snuck a recording device into her last speech and it showed that she has not a single clue when it comes to economics.

But her deep understanding of the workings of the legal system more than make up for it, wouldn't you agree?
"Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008

She is probably intending to make some very extreme remarks, possibly related to violence. She doesn't want to be held accountable by the electorate for actually saying what she and her lunatic husband believe in. I'd love to be a fly on the wall there...
-
Hope somebody sneaked in a video cam. Oh please....
-
She must know that something told to that many people will without a doubt leak out. I wonder what her angle really is. Maybe this is her way of telling the press to go to hell. This should be interesting.
-
Her speech centers are even more screwed up than Bush. I think it's alarming that one in THREE people are even considering the possibility of electing her. In another 4 years, you might as well elect Ms Teen South Carolina (the "everywhere like such as" girl) into the Oval Office.

Will she ever go away ???
