WHAT could possibly bring the elusive Sarah Palin to Juneau Alaska?
There are no rabid Republican crowds to rile up into a frenzied state of racial intolerance.
There is little, if any, national press to schmooze with.
Nor are there any new hairdos or clothes to show off. Are there?
So what could have convinced Sarah to show up at her job in rainy little Juneau, Alaska?
She (Palin) was happy the home was in shape for the thousands of guests. The mansion has undergone extensive plumbing renovations.
"This place was a construction zone three weeks ago," she said.
Aha! It WAS a chance to show off something new. The newly renovated Governor's mansion!
"See, see, see what I just bought? Isn't it beautiful? Doesn't it absolutely go with my dress, and my eyes, and my children?"
So Sarah gets to bring in a fairly large crowd, gets her picture taken a thousand times, and gets to trot out her little family props too charm the crowd. Sounds like a Sarah Palin event to me.
The home was festooned with red and white ribbon and bunting up and down the columns that mark the main hall and the stairway that leads to private quarters.
Silk stockings with Palin family member names were hung from the giant fireplace where Palin, her husband, Todd, and Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell shook hands and welcomed visitors.
Three of the Palins' children were on hand.
Three? Only three? Hmmm well Track is over in Iraq driving his commanding officers around, so we could not expect him to be there. But then who was there? (Go ahead, guess. And the first one does not count.)
Willow, 14, helped keep an eye on Trig, 7 months, who was decked out in a Santa suit and hat. Seven-year-old Piper wore a tiered holiday dress set off by a black velvet bolero jacket. By the third hour, she had shed her silver flip-flops and was bouncing among guests barefoot.
Hmmm no Bristol? Why isn't Bristol there?
She is due to give birth in eight days so it seems odd that she would be very far away from her family. And showing her pregnant belly off to the journalists could go a long way toward putting a stop to those aggressive bloggers and their constant questions about little Trig's parentage. I know if it were me I would have insisted that Bristol make an appearance.
This just keeps getting curiouser, and curiouser.
Well, Bristol is genuinely pregnant unlike Sarah last spring. I read that the word on the street in Anchorage last week is that Bristol is only "seven months." Less photographic evidence is the only way Palin can save her ass. But sounds like the budget make kick her ass next year anyway...
ReplyDeleteHave the Palins actually moved into the mansion as promised? Or was this gathering just a photo-op?
ReplyDeleteSilk stockings? Like the kind the French ladies wear with the seam up the back? Whoa that's not an image that's going to let me sleep tonight...
Good article Gryphen :)

I don't know about all women, but when my wife was only a couple of days away from delivery she didn't go out much and wouldn't really want to be in a photo. How about you other women?
ReplyDeleteNot everything is a conspiracy.
Yes, that's right...Bristol is only a week away from supposedly giving birth. SP better make sure she delivers on time.
ReplyDeleteI am eagerly awaiting the newest little Palin, and I'm sure Sarah can't wait to be a 44 year old grandma!
Please, Sarah, tell the truth about Trig and Bristol now before it's too late, or "leak" medical records to prove you are beyond a doubt Trig's biological mother. All you politicians eventually get caught anyway.
@ House of Brat - would you mind posting where you read the "word on the street" about how far along Bristol really is? There are many people who would like to read the same source material ...
