Sarah Palin finally managed to lure a minor celebrity to Wasilla. Update!

Courtesy of the Motorhead Groupie's Facebook page:

Our friend Parnelli Jones celebrated his birthday and the 50th anniversary celebration of his epic Indy 500 win. And he graciously shared his celebration (and cake) in little ol' Wasilla with Trig after a caribou hunt earlier that day! We had such a fun time with this amazing American whose accomplishments are ingrained in our memories and even our hopes for tomorrow. We were honored to share this day with him. Fellow motorheads and productive capitalists know what I mean. His work ethic must be emulated. Bless Parnelli Jones and the Greatest Generation. 

- Sarah Palin

I am not entirely sure what a "productive capitalist" means, but I imagine that Palin is simply uninterested in "unproductive" capitalists since they probably cannot afford to contribute to SarahPAC.

Palin has been sniffing Parnelli Jones exhaust fumes for quite awhile now, she was his guest at the Indianapolis Speedway back in May.  Memorable because it took place right before she was booed at a Pacer's game two days later.

It is kind of a shame that Jones is falling for her faux charms as he is a person of real accomplishments. But then again at 80 years old perhaps the attention of a bewigged skeleton with bolted on breasts, who is willing to make him a single layer cake from a box, is better than nothing.

Update: Apparently Palin also had time today to call into a Right Wing radio program and attack the President. 

“It’s sad for America,” Palin said, calling the president’s handling of the crisis dithering. “Literally all hell seems to be breaking loose and President Obama is in Martha’s Vineyard having a gay old time, riding his bike, partying it up.” 

Palin said it’s time for the president to pull all funding from Egypt until the violence stops. 

“Until there is a crackdown on this atrocious violence, they should not be receiving aid or weaponry,” she said. “We are contributing to the deadly chaos that is going to lead to even more hell breaking loose.” 

Palin said Obama’s handling of the crisis in Egypt has been appalling and she said it’s beyond time for him to exert authority and leadership. 

“It’s sad for our allies and sad for anyone who believes that America can still exert some positive influence for good in this world without unnecessary intervention,” she said. “We can use a less than dithering message from our less than dithering president.”

So very easy to sit on the sidelines, with NO experience whatsoever in foreign relations, and  act as an armchair quarterback concerning a crisis that seems to have almost all of the national security professionals throwing up their hands in despair. 

And could ANY of us imagine how much worse this would be if we had a President Palin in charge?
