After a playful evening, Palin was happy to donate the evenings proceeds to the "Teabagger After Party"!

I don't understand this. Since when does the press have to be invited to cover a newsworthy event? Why is Sarah Palin being given a pass on having to answer to the free press in our free country? She's always talking about American freedoms, but she won't let the press anywhere near her. We need some enterprising reporters, like the ones in the old days, who wouldn't let anything stop them from getting a story. As Sarah likes to call them, the lame stream media needs to get serious and call her out on her shield wall against the press.

I thought that transparency was part of Palen's concerns about politicians and governmental affairs.

Did she plan to charge the media a fee for being present, or is she afraid that the media will find out that most of what she tells the 'righties' are more lies?

If the media isn't present, she can say she never said something. She caught on that every word is recorded, and she ain't having none of that.

Why should the lamestream media get a free pass? Or even a free hot-dog? The will report their own loose fantasies & pallid prejudices, anyway. Sarah followers don'tt need the old-line "news" outlets. They have YouTube, Twitter, & Facebook.

"They have YouTube, Twitter, & Facebook."

Where they can read what her PR flacks have to say.

Way to run with the Palin-esque buzz words. Do you write speeches for her?

Psssst. Press? Here you go:

NBC 13 got it. It's from a recent speech she made $100,000 bucks for giving to special needs children activists. She spoke about oil drilling and small government as it pertains to autism. Or something. She gives the same speech everywhere she goes with reference to the name of the organization and the local sports teams and how much the place reminds her of Alaska and 3 lame jokes. Just use this one and no one will know the difference.

And she spoke to a reporter at the event about how important and wonderful it is to volunteer for the cause...while she pocketed a cool 100k for a crappy speech.

If Sarah really has a "servant's heart" it's on a plate in her refrigerator.
