Sarah Palin, and her toady Meg Stapleton, attend the Alfalfa club dinner.

Saturday night, Palin was whisked into the governors-and-Cabinet-members-only section of one of the capital's most exclusive parties: the Alfalfa Club dinner. Wearing an elegant black satin evening gown and a matching wrap, hair loose to her shoulders, Palin was about as far away as anyone can get from field-dressing a moose.

The outgoing president of the Alfalfa Club, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, teased Palin in a way allowable only by a fellow veteran of the vice presidential campaign trail.

"I was seriously being considered to be McCain's pick for vice president," said Lieberman, Al Gore's 2000 running mate and a former Democrat who campaigned for Sen. John McCain this year.

"But then John called me," Lieberman said. "As he always does, he got right to the point. He said, 'Joe, I can't do it. I need more than just a pretty face.' "

"I was so close. As close as Alaska is to Russia. You could almost say that from my doorstep I could see the vice president's mansion," he said.

Ha ha. God I hate Joe Lieberman!

I cannot help but wonder who exactly invited Palin to this event, and was it somebody who supports her or who just wanted the opportunity to use her as the butt of their jokes. According to Mudflats even Obama took a shot at our Governor.

Hmm maybe HE invited her?

Of course the most telling thing about this dinner was how fast Palin packed her bags and hustled out of Alaska, to once again get her name in the national media and leave all of the mundane tasks of being Governor behind her.

And don't think Alaskans have not noticed.
