Sarah Palin Finally Gets Change -- Just Not What She Campaigned On

This time, ''Mission Accomplished'' really means it.

Back during the presidential campaign -- remember that? -- I busted the place that Sarah Palin said was her favorite shop.

It wasn't Neiman-Marcus or Bloomie's, she said. It was an Anchorage resale shop called ''Out of the Closet.''

''Out of the Closet'' happens to be one of my favorite shops, too -- but not the Alaska one. '''OOTC'' is a chain of nonprofit thrift stores here, run for nearly 20 years by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which owns the name. Elizabeth Taylor and Carol Burnett have donated stuff to the stores.

I am proud to say that in my blog here and at the Los Angeles Times, I busted the Alaska shop's chops, right after Palin said it was her favorite boutique. The next day, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, citing Palin's remarks and my post, announced that it was looking into trademark infringement by the Anchorage store.

And now that shop is changing its name. ''We really had no choice legally,'' the owner said today.

The shop's new name is ''Second Run.'' With a name like that, it can still be Sarah Palin's favorite store. She can buy her 2012 campaign wardrobe there. With her own money.

Gee, it looks like you did both the store and Sarah Palin a favor - with all the publicity and a name that is predictive of Sarah Palin's run for President in 2012! Sarah Palin certainly has my vote!

Sarah is one of the most amazing women I have ever heard of. Rarely does one see so many admirable qualities in one person. She is beautiful and intelligent, a woman of integrity who lives her conservative values. She has charisma and star power yet lacks the arrogance so typical of so many in leadership positions. Her strength and graciousness in the face of lies and smears about herself and her family are unparalleled. In fact, the smears themselves are unparalleled in the history of politics. But God will turn that which was meant for evil to her good.

Sarah Palin for President 2012!

Thanks, Patt. Keep the ice queen in the news so we can keep hammering away at her. Commenting on another story, I suggested that after porn star Stormy Daniels knocks off David Ritter in the senatorial primary, Vitter will need a job and he will join Sarah's 2012 ticket as vice president since he knows a thing or two about vice.

DON'T BE BITTER,

VOTE PALIN/VITTER!
