Just in case you thought that Sarah Palin's press-goosechase bus tour of the I-95 corridor couldn't get any more surreal...
Michael Cohen, special counsel to Donald Trump, confirms to NBC News that the real estate mogul and his wife will meet and dine with Palin and her husband Tuesday night in New York City.
Cohen tells NBC News that Palin and Trump had previously discussed meeting up the next time Palin visited the city.
I wonder if Palin is asking for ideas on which excuse to use when she quits this fake non-campaign of hers?
Remember when Trump quit he made it sound like it was a victory for him, essentially saying "I made the President show his long form birth certificate, I am going to quit while I'm ahead!."
The challenge for Sarah Palin is quitting before anybody can shame her into a debate, but not before she has soaked up as much attention and Palin-bot loose change as possible.
Oh my - didn't see this one coming:
ReplyDelete"I think all our energy subsidies need to be re-looked at and eliminated,” Palin told reporters in response to a question about ethanol subsidies.

There's a good chance that she is falling into a trap and that Trump will eviscerate her verbally on TV tomorrow. I'm not sure who is the biggest attention whore but I see their egos clashing at tonight's dinner...and he doesn't have anything to lose by slamming her.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Sarah's going to beg Trump to reconsider running for president and add her as VP. That way she could still bask in the glow of her racists' adoration but she wouldn't have to do much work if they inexplicably won the election:
ReplyDeleteTrump/Palin 2012 You're fired!/I quit!
That's the Democrat's dream team, right there.
But, it's more likely that they're just concocting some joint scam to extract more money from the public.
It won't be all Trump giving pointers on how to run a fake campaign to Palin, Palin promised to give Trump pointers on how to style his fake hair.
ReplyDeleteTwo of a kind just want attention and money. What a joke.
ReplyDeleteWish I could be in the room when he asks her about her fake pregnancy. You know he will.
ReplyDeleteEwww, yuck, two overly fake tanned, wig wearing, media whore peas in a pod.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Saint Sarah will ask The Donald to be her VP if her backer$ decide to run her? Of course, Donny would never accept that, so the ticket could be Palin/Trump ** Trump/Palin 2012 with no clear definition of who is POTUS or VP. Or they could run as Queen and King of America. The whole campaign could be a reality show that the Bots could drool over. And eventually, they'd tear each other to shreds!
ReplyDelete$arah's excuse for not running will be that she doesn't want to be a lame duck candidate.
ReplyDeleteShe's probably lobbying to get some Palin on The Apprentice.
ReplyDeleteSo how is this part of the One Nation tour?
ReplyDeleteI can just picture this dinner conversation. As they wax about the perils of their incredible success and the burden it has put on them in their ability to run for president because, well, they're just so successful. Did anyone read all the gnarly lawsuits Trump is involved in now? And who knows what courtrooms await Sarah Palin - after all, if the FBI is investigating Dairygate, that's a saga in itself.
ReplyDelete@Enjay in E MT
ReplyDeleteWow, in regards to Ethanol subsides? That's going to play well in Iowa!
That's one dog you just can't let off the leash!
From the RAM -VS- Toki de la Vega saga
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt that the information I have is "juicy" enough to get "the liar" out of your face forever, but given the fact that RAM bargained a deal with TheDC to not publish it, I think it's safe to say that the information is horribly embarrassing.

We'll have to check Palin's itemized expenditures on her PAC reports to see if she charged personal expenses related to her little "family vacation". It doesn't fit SP's profile to pick up the tab on dinner anyway, but when it comes to living off her PAC donations, she is definitely intermingling personal and PAC funds. Usage of those funds are supposed to be restricted, but the Grizzled Grifter is pushing the envelope with this bus trip, courtesy of SaraPAC, which she apparently thinks is her personal slush fund.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, she is now doing the same thing with SarahPAC funds that she did with State of Alaska funds, which resulted in her being found guilty of ethical violations. It was generous of the state to allow her to pay back the amount she had stolen in filling out fraudulent expense reports.
Tim Crawford, her PAC Treasurer, has made a name for himself in the GOP party already by ignoring subpoenas related to misuse of "soft money" from his own New Models PAC, which had not even filed with the either the IRS or FEC. So Sarah hires this renegade that nobody in the GOP will touch, and we're supposed to believe he was hired for his militant adherence to GAAP, IRS, and FEC regulations?
The F.E.C. and C.R.E.W. will have a field day combing through these reports.
I see some orange jumpsuits for Sarah and Todd before the fat lady sings. (And no, that is in no way a reference to Bristol, whom I doubt can sing any better than she can dance.)
Here ya go, Bots!! The Reality TV racist ticket!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, all she wants is to be on TV. She's begging him for a job.
The skank and her purse holder are just tryin to settle a score on Levi. Remember Levi and his family met with Trump?
ReplyDeleteWhether you care for Levi or not, he did met with Trump and spoke of the skank.
Sowah wants to settle some kind of score.
Trump and Sowah are gross.
1. A Letterman joke will be mis-construed to be about rape of a Palin daughter.
ReplyDelete2. Trophy wife to non-trophy husband: how's the fish picking
3. Sarah Palin's push-up bra will have a wardrobe malfunction.
4. The press release will more boring than your 6th grade grammar teacher.
Trump just wants to suggest his hairdresser to her, since her hair looks like shit when she does it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Don. I hope you also suggest she start with a clarifying shampoo. Rinse. Repeat.
Sarah may just be trying to get on Trump's hideous reality show.
ReplyDeleteThe meeting of the vile minds with consumate hatred for President Obama..
ReplyDeleteJust when you thought she couldn't get any sadder, any more cartoonish. I am embarrassed for her, for all of us. Soon, my friends, soon.
ReplyDeleteDonald can I be one of your beauty pageant judges?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Trump wants the number of the plastic surgeon who gave Bristles her chin. Last photo I saw of The Donald from a side view, he had no chin. Will Piper go along, since she is the designated "shield" for the tour.
ReplyDeleteSarah: Donald I plan on divorcing Todd but I did not get a prenup. How can I divorce him and keep my money?
ReplyDeleteKind of off-topic, but isn't today the 'due date' for release of Palin's emails from the State of Alaska? Or has the State requested yet another extension?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Donald wants some advice on hair pieces.
ReplyDeleteSharon1943
Sarah is negotiating a spot on "The Apprentice" for Willow or Track next season.
ReplyDeleteBristol and Willow went shopping in NYC or bar hopping.
Waiting for Piper to say, "Fuck You Sarah, I am staying on the bus!"
Donald, my daughter Bristol wants to be an apprentice. She has great talent, she love you long time!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for 8:00 p.m. EDT to see what Lawrence O'Donnell has to say about Sarah's Hysterical History Tour - especially the Trump Detour. Meanwhile Chris Matthews is rhapsodizing about Palin's "kinetic energy" when she's on the stump. Oy Veh.
ReplyDeleteSarah has learned her listen.
ReplyDeleteWhatever she is going to talk to Trump about, she is not doing it by email.
ALASKA WHERE ARE PALIN'S EMAILS?
She is just giving a wink and a nod to the fringe that she sympathises with their views. She is hoping to hoover up their support (which she probably already has), ...OR it's about media exposure (ie, about her ego and money).
ReplyDeleteWho is paying for that old bastard Chuckie Heath's on Sarah's ME ME ME tour?
ReplyDeleteSo Bristol's going to be on Celebrity Apprentice now huh?
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that Trump won't be able to keep his mouth shut about the dinner conversation so by Thursday we'll all know what's up. Perhaps Sarah is just going to pimp out Bristol for Celebrity Apprentice. Lord knows she would never do it herself.
ReplyDeleteRe: Ethanol. Driving the ethanol stake into the heart of Iowans is a REALLY, REALLY BIG mistake, she must have been winking like crazy when she said that
ReplyDeleteWhat are the odds that she dumps Tawd and becomes the next Trump hump?
ReplyDeleteSmart move, scara, rubbing elbows with other insane people. She is not serious and just rubbing the media's face in their own shit. Some one hopefully will have fun doing some comic strips on this event. Maybe scara is auditioning for a spot for his show???? That is probably coming down the pike next. Steven and Jon, get on it, lots of material coming your way!
ReplyDeleteAmericans Rejoice As Sarah Palin Doesn’t Come To Their Town
ReplyDeleteWhere’s Waldo? Where isn’t Sarah Palin.
The story isn’t where is Sarah, the story is where isn’t Sarah, and how happy are you that she’s not in your town.
Much of America is going on with their daily lives, even as CNN and others try to package Palin as a viable candidate. They will sell her to America, have no fear. You thought it couldn’t happen here, but it is. For proof of this, I give you the reports that Sarah Palin claimed she “cleaned up ethics in Alaska” . Any reading person knows this is factually inaccurate, and Palin admitted it in her own words just seconds later, by saying she quit over all of the “frivolous ethics complaints.”
But this was reported and left hanging in the air like low hanging fruit, ripe to be picked by real Americans who are too busy with their lives to read and hence, easily fooled. I thought Palin looked quite nice in that video. If I didn’t know what she really stood for, I can see myself liking her. Gosh, today she announced that she’s against energy subsidies! Did anyone think to ask her about AGIA? Noooo, I guess not. Maybe someone can start by asking her to define subsidy. Last I knew, she was all for subsidies for the oil and gas industry. But wait, is she going to run on killing ethanol subsidies before Iowa? Maybe no one will ask. Strike that. Even if she is asked, she will not answer in a comprehensive manner (this is Sarah’s oldest trick – just try to pin Waldo down!).
This obviously isn’t good for the country, but it’s quite good for the media, who stand to make millions if they can force an Obama v Palin 2012.
If the media want to go on this clown tour, fine.
But the majority of Americans don’t want to get taken on that ride. They are sick and tired, and I mean sick and bloody tired, of having this woman shoved in their faces every single day. She’s Britney’ed herself with the Blood Libel video, but the media will not give it up.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-doesnt-come
I agree that she is trying to get herself or a family member on Trump's show. I also believe she is in contract negotiations with TLC for another reality show - TLC says they are waiting on her decision.
ReplyDeleteIf she gets an offer from Trump (real or just cooperation from Trump to say he wants her), she can get a bigger $ deal from TLC.
No doubt in my mind that she is after celebrity, fame and money - and that is IT. She is loving the paparazzi chasing her stupid bus, you betcha.
Chasing Sarah: How The Media Got Suckered Into Palin’s Bus Tour Con
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is managing to pull off her biggest media con job yet by her disguising her 2012 media strategy as a bus tour.
As Sarah Palin continues to pretend that she doesn’t want media coverage of her bus tour, all the while begging for the media to follow her, the Palins have chosen to hide behind Sarah’s Fox News contract as justification for why she won’t actually talk to the media.
When CNN asked Todd Palin if reporters were going to be allowed on the bus with Sarah, Todd answered..
http://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-media-con
Yet, Palin gave an interview to BFF Greta Van Susteren in a setting that looked oddly like a campaign bus.
ReplyDeleteHere is a video preview from Fox News. (One of these days it would be nice for Greta to disclose on the air that her husband is virtually running SarahPAC):
Notice how Palin discussed her whole media strategy for something that she claims is not a media event, “They want kind of conventional idea of we want a schedule. We want to follow you. We want to be brought along with you. I’m like a). I don’t think I owe anything to the mainstream media. I think that it would be a mistake for me to become some kind of conventional politician, and doing things the way it’s always been done with the media in terms of relationship with them. Telling them to come along and we’ll orchestrate this, we’ll script this, and we’ll basically write a story for you, media about what we’re doing every day.”
She admitted that she is creating her own story luring the media in, “No, I want them to have to do a little bit work on a tour like this, and that would include not necessarily telling them where every stop is going to be, you know. We’ll do a stop. We’ll do a lot of OTRs, off the records. We’ll meet a lot of great Americans, and then I’ll write about that at the end of the day. It’s not about me. It’s not a publicity tour…”

Sarah Palin is running a con. The prize she seeks isn’t just publicity. Sarah Palin is trying to con her way into the Republican nomination, and if the media keeps happily playing along, she might be successful.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-media-con
They should include Charlie Sheen, the Kardashians and Paris Hilton. Great Minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteI know this isn't relevant to this post, but seeing as this is the most recent IM post in my google reader I'm going to comment here.
ReplyDeleteGryphen:
My head is going to EXPLODE. Wasn't today the absolute END OF THE LINE, no more extensions, absolutely DO NOT PASS GO very LAST DAY for Parnell's administration to produce the emails?
And there's NOTHING, not a peep from ANYONE?
Are the courts going to let her coast into the expired statute so all her defiantly hid secrets STAY secret?
Isn't there ANYONE in the administration who is willing to be a hero to America, a symbol of truth, honor, and justice? It's not like taking these emails and anonymously sending them to Gryphen or Joe McGinnis would be unlawful; an Alaska court has DEMANDED those emails see the light of day TODAY, May 31st of 2011.
Gryphen, this is a travesty. Isn't there ANYONE who is willing to stand up in the name of justice???
Perhaps this is just an interview for next year's "The Celebrity Apprentice Biggest Loser" contest....
ReplyDeleteOh, to be a fly on the wall. Clash of the egos. I bet this is going to be one hilarious meeting.
ReplyDeleteI can only predict that they will not bond. Which one breaks first depends on which one has more to gain.
She just wants to be on his show.
ReplyDeleteTwo ego maniacs!!! Too bad there won't be a hidden mike at their din-din table. Can you imagine who would talk first and the fastest!!??? I'm sure the majority of us would walk away w/a headache.
ReplyDeleteWhat bullshit!
Sarah Palin...The next Celebrity Apprentice contestant! Just do it Sarah! Pleeeeeeeze!
ReplyDeleteSarah popped for pizza. Todd is MIA. Piper is still on security duty (she's getting overtime pay).

Two big headed idiots together and Todd will be looking at Trump's wife and wanting some of all that dessert.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Trump wants SP to add his current wife to the ticket-as VP??? It's so absurd, she might consider it!
ReplyDeleteI am smiling ear to ear though watching SP self destruct!
So did Sarah take along Piper to guard Todd, Todd, Todd from Mrs. Sexy Trump?
ReplyDeleteI was one of those people that believed Trump was paid by the Obama team to drag up, expose, and kill the whole birth certificate issue. Thank-you, Donald, we now have the long-awaited long-form, and this issue can be put to bed. Oh, by the way, Donald, you never seemed to question its authenticity or run it by your team of forensic analysts, you know, like the real birthers did. Yep, he's a fake.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone try the link from 3:05 and get some strange message? It almost seemed like a virus.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an arrogant little shit Piper is.
ReplyDeleteWon't the Donald be surprised to learn that even the Diva doesn't want his advice. She will likely just hit him up for some comped rooms at one of his franchised hotels.
ReplyDeleteWait til she hits Iowa with her ethanol subsidy elimination idea. That ought to go over like a lead balloon.
Palin will hit up Trump for a free dinner and a complimentary suite at his hotel while she's in NYC. That's the only reason Palin wants to meet with Trump.
ReplyDeleteNewsflash!! Bristol Palin on next seasons Celebrity Apprentice.
ReplyDeleteOr Todd.Definitely not Sarah.
mommom
Palin will be surprised to learn that most of "The Donalds" properties are name only,in that they are buildings whose real owners pay him to use his name.
ReplyDeleteYes,I worked at one of his properties.Trumps Marina in Atlantic City.The board kicked him out years ago after his umpteenth bankruptcy and non-payment of loans.Horrible place to work,horrible casino,horrible putting up with Ivanna back then,horrible man who looks as greasy in person as he does on tv.
mommom
@ 5:22, that is utter bs. Did you not see how furious Donald Trump was at that Correspondents Dinner? He's not that good an actor, sorry.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too surprised if the idiot doesn't jump back in.
It's in his vested interest to have the GOP in the White House.
No way is he working on behalf of Barack Obama. What a joke.
The good news is that most Americans are SANE, whatever their political leanings.
ReplyDeleteThis comedy of the absurd is convincing exactly .00001% of voters that this woman is a serious candidate.
She has really crippled her chances with this latest publicity stunt, she is just too stupid to realize it.
Grypehn
ReplyDeleteJust wait and see Bristol will be on the next apprentice show. This is what the meeting was all abt.
This is obviously a meeting of the minds plus the facct that they both like to wear dead animal pelts on their heads.Oh to be a fly on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI and no doubt Sarah, assumed that dinner with a billionaire would be at a trendy Michelin
ReplyDeletestarred restaurant
like Daniel or Le Bernardin.
That's why she gussied herself up.
Washed her hair and everything.
Trump took her to some crummy pizza place where they ate off paper plates
and drank from cans.
Ouch !
The bots are not going
to be pleased with that slap.
Forget Trump's politics for a minute.
Trump's kids from his three wives are all gracious and well mannered ,
even the youngest.
Not brats and dysfunctional like Piper, Willow and Bristol.
Or abandoned and neglected like Trig.
The panty-sniffers have taken over the Daily Mail:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1392605/Sarah-Palin-defends-mystery-bus-tour-thats-left-followers-dark.html#comments
Y'all post there & add your thumbs ups and thumbs downs.
I'm thinking that this meeting is Palin's attempt to see if she can figure out a way to tap into some $ for a campaign.
ReplyDeleteLike many of you I have thought that perhaps there might be a move to get Bristol on Celebrity Apprentice.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you that would be a huge mistake on Sarah and Bristol's part. Celebrity Apprentice is silly, but you are actually competing with people who are self-accomplished (for the most part, I mean Nene Leakes? maybe not so much).
But even stupidasses like Meatloaf and Gary Busey are actually accomplished adults.
What has Bristol accomplished? Having some guy teach her how to dance while her mother's cult-followers skewed the results so she stay way longer than she should have?
Her best hope is she's knocked out in the first competition so noone gets a good sense of how bad she is.
I could be wrong on this, I don't know her, it's just I have a sense there isn't much going on upstairs, and hasn't done much of anything to merit my respect.
4:04PM re the email deadline
ReplyDeleteI've answered you 3 times already in the past couple of days, but I guess you've missed all my responses.
Parnell extended the release until June 10 so they could finish redacting.
I'm pretty sure we all share your rage, but you are just a few days behind us, as everybody seemed to get out all their angst last week after this delay was announced.
They've given us a strong clue that there will be some embarrassing stuff in there, and I personally plan to peruse and cross-check every single one. Q
In the first batch released to MSNBC, I tracked quite a bit of redacted info was available elsewhere in other e-mails where it happened not to be redacted.
So chill for a week and a half and read Dunn and Bailey's books in the meantime.
Watch your back, Mellania- Trump's interviewing your replacement! Sarah purchased "Rosetta Stone, word salad to Czechoslovacian version.
ReplyDeleteI know it's hard to express shock and surprise with all that botox and plastic surgery and stuff. But think about it, they have so much more in common than you do.
Wouldn't they make a great couple? Dumb and Dumber.
I just came home from work, so I don't know if people have said this before, but I heard on the radio that Trump took Palin and her gang to Times Square - to eat PIZZA!!!
ReplyDeletesweet anie, You hit the nail on the head sad and cartoonish. It is a joke that Palin is considered by the media to be a candidate for president. She really is doing an excellent job of making a mockery of what passes for our political process. The more people see of Palin and her mob of misfits, the less they like her. Go Sarah!!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I think Trump is an idiot, I got a big kick out of him taking her to dinner at a chain restaurant!!! She was probably trying to grift a dinner at an exclusive restaurant and weasel his support for her campaign and all she got was pizza on a paper plate, a can of pop, and a patronizing "she's a terrific person".
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Donald Trump to put Sarah in her place and show everyone else that the empress has no clothes.
ReplyDelete"Hi, Donald. Can I call you "The Donald"? Are you interested in a little dinner together when Todd and I are in town, just the four of us?"
"Uh, OK. We could grab a slice of pizza."
Sarah looked like she was going to have to go into the bathroom and get rid of her pizza.
Pizza! Pizza! Look up Trump history of canoodling with young lovelies in his limo while married to Ivana.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reason Wife No. 2 <arla Maples came out of the shadows was that she was "tired of pizza in the limo."
In the files and reviles on Trump that quote is somewhere.
Naw, I think it is more like getting pointers on reality TV. Envision this - The Donald having Screech on the next apprentice? Didn't that show get cancelled? Perhaps they are teaming up to do a new show.
ReplyDeleteToo bad trump didn't run... obama says in his book Audactity of Hope..that the candidate with the highest name recognition, WINS.
ReplyDelete
