Glenn Beck to bring his "Crying Game" to Alaska.

Today Sarah "NO dammit, it's me RAM!" Palin took to her Facebook account to tell us something that is certainly not news to most of us who have been paying attention.

Glenn’s coming to the Last Frontier! I hope my fellow Alaskans (and anyone visiting from Outside) will join me this Saturday, September 11, 2010, at Anchorage’s Dena’ina Center at 8:00 p.m. Glenn Beck will be there – you won’t want to miss it. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com.

We can count on Glenn to make the night interesting and inspiring (and soggy with tears), and I can think of no better way to commemorate 9/11 than to gather with patriots who will “never forget.” Hope to see you there!

- Sarah "Becky" Palin

So we have known for quite some time that Beck is coming up here to spread his special brand of insanity to Alaskans, along with our own home grown queen of insanity, Sarah Palin. What I have not quite been able to figure out is exactly WHY.

There is of course THIS rumor:

And yes there HAS been some speculation about that up here. (This speculation was even mentioned in Michael Gross's Vanity Fair piece.) However I find it very difficult to believe that EVEN Sarah "Everything is all about me" Palin could be so simple minded as to announce her candidacy on 9-11.  I imagine that not only would liberals rake her over the coals, but even many conservatives would pick up their sticks and beat her like a teabagging pinata.

Besides apparently she is giving a speech in Missoula, Montana the very next day. And NOBODY who has just announced their candidacy for President of the United States would immediately run off to help open a faith based alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in Montana. Not even Sarah Palin. (Hmm Palin and Montana.  Where have I heard those two things mentioned together before?)

However my spidey sense tells me that Glenn Beck is not flying all of the way up here on September 11th, just because he believes the fresh air might finally clear up his asthma.  Something is definitely up.

So my friends, if you hear any right wing murmurings, or crazy religious talk about the end times, give us a shout will you?

    Maybe Glenn has converted her to the Mormon faith and is taking her as another wife! (Is he even married?)

  4. My best guesses:

    1. Beck/Palin are high on the "success" of the D.C. hate fest and can bilk out more bucks from the sheeple.

    2. Based on religious tone of the D.C. event, I say Beck has seen the light and will be born again - Prevo will baptise him and he will join the evangelical base.
    The crowd will consider it a miracle, with credit to scarah for saving him.

    The Mormons will be relieved to be rid of him.

    Why would anyone want to observe 9/11 with I hate the 9-11-families-Glenn Beck? But he hates the victims of Katrina even more, but he hangs out with Sarah Palin the whinest, bitchest victim of them all.

    You would think, given the size of Palin's ego (put a Spanx on that, please!) that she wouldn't 'waste' the opportunity of announcing a run for the Presidency on a home-grown venue, but opt for something far more grand.

    Steps of Neiman-Marcus, anyone?

    One the other hand, she did chose to step down from the Governorship with a Greek chorus of geese honking and shitting on the lawn behind her. . .

    Prevo church-goers, and people from Palin's Wasilla church will be there... and the Miller crowd. The Mormons? A lot of old people (no offense to old people-I'm "old" too.) The Beck/Palin show should get a decent turn-out, but then again.. not everyone is going to shell out that kind of money.

    In my opinion, it's a toss of the coin. Nothing surprises me when it comes to Sarah, Murdoch, and the Koch Brothers.

    Well, at least we know this much for sure...

    There will be crying. There will be inane scribbling on chalkboards and palms. Palin will be dressed to the nines and doing her mean highschool girl bit. Palin will be begging for money. Rebecca Mansour will be madly creating a Facebook post to translate Palin's faux pas. Fox News will be makin' stuff up about the goings-on and fudging the number of attendees. Alaska's reputation will take another hit.

    Before Sarah announces her candidacy on Saturday, she will announce that she is pregnant with baby #6. The Rev. Glen will cry and talk about what a wonderful mother she is, and then Trig and the rest of the kids will be paraded across the stage,assuring she retains her loyal following of Christian conservative voters.

    She can always borrow another baby if it helps her win the white house.

  22. I think they have figured out that the crazier they act and sound, the more money they generate. The more outrageous and nonsensical their posturing, the higher the dollar river rises and the faster it flows. It is amazing to watch.

    Doubt very much it is about a 'presidency' run for her. It'll have to do w/money making. I'll wager whatever it is, it will be a pain to take based on it being held on 9/11.

    I hope there are demonstrators galore around them...but, being as how our Mayor is a supporter of Palin backed 'Miller for Senator'...there are probably restrictive areas as to any negativity being shown.

    My guess is that Beck's religion will allow him to do a "healing" service for Sarah....A twist on "restoring honor" on Sarah's vagina thus making her ever so honorable.

    I can't believe she will run, she would have to face the press and debates. However, IF she were going to announce her run she would do it on 9-11 because she can't stand that any day could possibly be more important than HER day.

    These fools mocked MLK day and now 9-11, what's left?

    An interesting read, if you can stomach it (thanks to Guest, a commenter at PG):

    http://www.conservativepatriotsgroup.org/

    A quote from their headline:

    "Evil cannot be wished away, it cannot be loved away, it cannot be talked away, it must be destroyed!!!!"

    The number of exclamation points is left as found.

    Methinks that the latest Beckapalooza Rally Starring Sistah Sarah on 9/11 will be a call for their obedient l'il Xtain Warriors to start a new crusade against whatever they loosely define as "evil." I doubt that SP would announce her presidential run this soon--it will cause a Dem stampede to the polls in November, and in the Koch's eyes, that just can't happen.

    Or can it? Read the above, again, please...

    oh, and i forgot to add, as someone who lived next to ny during 9/11 - we could see it from rooftops - i am not sure alaska is the best place to commemorate it. no offense alskans, of course you are americans, too, and most likely a few of you came down to help, but this is just 9/11 gop fetishism. alaska is almost as far from the real sites of 9/11 as you can get.

    No matter what they are cooking up, I agree that it is disgusting to do it on that day. And these are the same people who are crapping themselves over the Islam center in NYC.

    I know she IS stupid enough to announce her candidacy on that day, but I don't think she will. I'm voting for book tour too. I still think she'll run though because victimhood is everything to her and a presidential candidacy would be an embarrassment of riches in that way for her (and just an embarrassment for the rest of us).
