Former Alaska governor and vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin will make an appearance here as part of the University of Texas of the Permian Basin’s John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute Distinguished Lecture Series Thursday.
The theme for the free lecture is “Groundbreakers, Mavericks and Trailblazers: How Women are Showing 21st Century Leadership.” It is set for 7 p.m. Thursday at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center at State Highway 191 and Farm-to-Market Road 1788.
The discussion will examine characteristics and demands of 21st century leadership and how women are meeting those challenges.
The moderators for this event are from Odessa America, and they have reached out on Facebook for some assistance with the questions:
Just came to our email that former U.S. Vice President candidate Sarah Palin is requesting all media questions to be submitted prior to a meet and greet. No surprises wanted, it seems. So what do you think of that? What should we ask her?
Nothing surprising here as we know that Palin considers any question she has not heard about ahead of time, and been given a ghostwritten response to, to be a "gotcha" question.
The woman cannot function without a team of handlers helping her to keep it together, (See Iowa speech.)
Anyhow the Facebook page has already received some great tips. Here are but a few:
Ask her why she's such a lying, hate-fueled harpy.
Please ask her, "Are you still nuts?"
Ask her why we should care what she thinks, I have always wondered.
Those are good, but I thought perhaps some of you might be able to help with even MORE pointed questions that we would love the Wasilla Wendigo to answer.
Ask her why she faked her pregnancy and lied to the American people about it.
ReplyDeleteLet's ask the obvious question. Why does Palin want questions submitted in advance? Doesn't she want to demonstrate that she can think on her feet? How would she ever get through a political debate without that skill being sharply honed?
ReplyDeleteBet that we will NEVER see her debate. That is another reason she'll never run for POTUS. She doesn't have the 'smarts' to run for office!
DeleteEasy, just like her VP debate with now Vice President O'Biden, "I don't want to talk about that, I want to talk about energy." Deflect, deflect, deflect.
DeleteShe knows nothing. NOTHING. Expect the same tired talking points. She is incapable of, let alone interested in, learning.
She's always bitching about what a victim she is. Anyone else who told the moderator at the vice presidential debate "I'm not going to answer your questions but rather babble talking points" would have been taken to task. Oh, but not Sarah, she's always treated like the challenged kid and given a pass. Good for you, Sarah, all that says is what incredibly low expectations everyone including the mean old media has of you.
DeleteAnd there you have it, 1:47 PM, you nailed it. Low expectations, indeed! She's a self-made sideshow. That she has so little self-esteem or self-awareness to even care, as long as the bucks are coming in, is appalling.
DeleteHere are a few questions for her "Why do you THINK of yourself as a "leader" when you resigned as governor half way through your term?" Does your daughter think of herself as a leader, too? When she was lecturing about "abstinence only" she was living with another one of her "trial husbands". Has your mother quit giving "Word of the Day" suggestions on your TV channel? Did SHE quit also, too???
DeleteWhat does quitting your job as Governor have to say about leadership in the 21 Century? And, if you say that you had to go rogue and be a maverick in order to progress Alaska, name three things that you did to progress Alaska after you left office.
ReplyDeleteExcellent question and appropriate for the title of her speech.
DeleteSheesh
1)Ask why $he has NEVER been invited or included in a single Alaska event that features women in state politics or women leaders.
Delete2)Ask why Todd and none of her kids hold a job nor show any interest in education, travel, or bettering themselves in any way.
3)Ask why $he always demands screened questions and why $he will never debate anyone or go on any of the news talk shows.
They are going to screen the questions. They just want to drive up the traffic and attention on the facebook.
ReplyDeleteWhat city in TX will this event be held? Don't see it mentioned in the above writing.
ReplyDeleteGalls me to see that she gets the questions prior to her answers. Fucking bullshit as usual and she has been getting away with it since they caught on to her idiocy while on the McCain campaign trail.
What is wrong with America? Nail her fucking ass!
Midland, TX...former stomping grounds of the Bush clan!
DeleteOdessa, which is both in the Ukraine, and in Texas.
DeleteSame goes for Paris, which is both in France and in Texas.
There must be some rilly, rillly, lame-brained folks in west Texas oil country on the invitation committee.
I wonder if she's still insisting that bendy straws and basketball players be provided for her to suck on.
There's an Odessa in Delaware, too, but it's in the top five blue states and there's no likelihood that she'd be invited to speak in Delaware anytime in the 21st century.
DeleteIt's actually at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center, halfway between Odessa and Midland, TX.
Delete"It houses an 1800 seat main concert hall and a 200 seat recital hall..."
Apparently Palin's speech is "free and open to the public – no tickets or reservations required" according to this:
http://shepperdinstitute.com/events/distinguished-lecture-series/upcoming-lectures/
I wonder if anyone's told the Washington Speakers Bureau, or the Palin entourage. Makes me wonder which of her Texas good ol' boys is footing the bill for everything
I wonder which one of her plunging neckline shirts she will wear? Which "serious business woman shoes"?? Will she take her books, and Chuckles Jr's book along to hawk?
DeleteLove those answers on the Facebook page! lol
ReplyDeleteDiscuss your foreign policy experience but skip the part about when Putin rears his head up, where does he go.
ReplyDeleteIt's Alassssska! lmao
DeleteI just read the responses on Facebook. They are calling her out! Why agree to appear at a forum, if you can't play by their rules? They should drop her from the roster.
ReplyDeleteHer bio at the Washington Speakers Bureau.
ReplyDelete'Connecting You With The World's Greatest Minds'.
http://www.washingtonspeakers.com/speakers/biography.cfm?SpeakerID=6467
Of course they're going to make up shit for her fantasy profile, or who would go watch the woman if hey said "this is the biggest liar, grifts, and holds deep grudges and who is an avid hate-monger and racist.
DeleteAnd her 2010 Washington Speakers Bureau contract -- or at least the perks clauses:
Deletehttp://www.sfbg.com/PDFs/politics/Palin_contract.pdf
I just really want to know how a family practice physician was able to induce a high risk birth at a facility that doesn't induce high risk births ... and both still have their licenses to operate?? This dos not happen in the real world, only Sarah's peabrain.
ReplyDeleteDoes she want the questions so she can pick out the ones she wishes to answer? Or just a heads up of what is going to be asked?
ReplyDeleteLike Wendy said above, she cannot think on her feet. That's why she keeps on spewing the same old tired stuff ad nauseum. She memorized a mantra (finally) and repeats it over and over....when she tries to do it on her own, you get Iowa
DeleteI think I'd ask her a out Paul Revere..she has an answer for that one!
Delete"University of Texas of the Permian Basin" If I remember correctly, the Permian was 300 - 250 million years ago. Or was it 6000?
ReplyDelete-meh
That's a good question to suggest to the Odessa American moderator!
DeleteIn honor of SPHASH and Malia, does your ex-husband hang out with hookers?
ReplyDeleteMUAH, Gryph!
Everyone should go and be nice just ask about CBj and MatSu and how her birth tale makes no sense whatsoever, never did. Why did she lie?
ReplyDeleteSince you obviously have concerns about how the Country is governed.Why haven't you run for office? You have a PAC,where does the money go?
ReplyDeletePresident Obama has saved this Country from disastrous consequences.Why do you try to spew hatred towards him?
Are you a racist?
Have you ever in your entire life, read a newspaper?
Or who in your immediate family is employed? Since if any of the kids do work they're not going to turn over their wages to you, what do you and toad live off? A few speaking engagements and a bi-monthly faux appearance doesn't pay for everything plus that brand new truck and trailer toad got for his birthday. You're not laundering that pac $ and living off of it now are you, Sarah?
DeleteAsk why her boobs can magically change size from one moment to the next!
DeleteAsk why she never shows her face anywhere in Alaska where she is reviled.
Ask how much money and time she has spent on Downs Syndrome causes.
DeleteAsk about Trig's therapies and her daily involvement. Ask why he can't even say "up."
It seems a bit of an oxymoron: Sarah Palin and leadership. Sarah, who quit as governor after half a term and who's done absolutely nothing but grouse ever since? Even her parenting skills do not point to any kind of leadership: the drunken brawl in Anchorage, the foolish posting of photos of Trig standing on a dog. I'm not impressed with whatever august body is sponsoring this event.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
From her bio at the link someone provided above: "Through her political action committee, SarahPAC, Palin remains active in the national political scene by supporting candidates who share her fiscal conservative and libertarian ideals for smaller and smarter government. She has been particularly active in supporting Republican women candidates and grassroots reformers bucking the political establishment like herself." So she now fancies herself a libertarian!? I guess when the Republican party kicks you out, you have to "buck the system" and claim to be a "libertarian."
ReplyDeleteQuestions for the University:
ReplyDelete1. What moment of idiocy possessed UT to pay this woman's speaking fee? Do you not know she's a complete joke?
2. Public Leadership? Distinguished? Those do not in any way apply to Sarah Palin. So once again, why are you paying tax or alumni dollars to this money-grubbing harpy?
3. UT Trustees have a fiduciary responsibility to spend university funds wisely. Why is some of that money being spent on this irrelevant failed politician?
Question for Sarah:
1. Where is Trig's birth certificate? If it has been destroyed, who is his real mother?
Answer to question #1 for UT: Obviously you don't know west Texas. Midland-Odessa is one of the armpits of the country. It is oil country and nothing else. If you are a woman you are good for teaching, secretarying, stripping or birthing babies and standing by your man only. Classic bibles, guns, flags and alcohol country. This is exactly the kind of place that would suck up to her.
DeleteActually a lot of the country doesn't know how completely off the rails she is. They just haven't paid any attention to her and imagine her to be as she was in 2008 (which was bad enough). I think they're in for a surprise.
DeleteThese are good questions to post on OA FB page.
DeletePlease, folks, join the fun and post your questions on the FB page here:

You will be doing this country a great service to expose what much of the country doesn't know about this woman. Add links to support your questions. (Please see the questions about her failure to get speech therapy for Trig sooner.) A question about the family brawl with a link to the audio would expose this to the people who love her the most.
Isn't a Permian something they teach you how to give in hair school?
ReplyDeleteHere is my question.
ReplyDeleteMs. Palin, why are you constantly complaining about
the MSM--when without them--- you would look like
a toothless old woman with lots of ass fat that you couldn't
afford to have sucked out?
screeching at Todd more than than you probably already do and torturing your children.
Such an intelligent, well-thought-out question.
DeleteAsk her why she requires pre-screened questions.
ReplyDeleteAsk Sarah is she down with the swirl or was was it a time thing?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I got distracted by Barstool. She needs to learn not to use her teeth.
DeleteAsk Sarah is she down with the swirl or was it a one time thing?
Sarah, when do you plan to use your PAC money to spend more than 2% in an election cycle? What will you do with the leftover cash..return it?
ReplyDelete"No surprises wanted, it seems."
ReplyDeleteInteresting the OA included this sentence. It sounds like they aren't too happy about that condition.
Sarah do you think Bristol should switch teams since she has a problem getting and keeping men?
ReplyDeleteLOL....The Dutch are well known for their protective dykes..
Delete"switch teams"? WTF?
DeleteThese bottom feeding uninformed folks keep trying to prop up this hateful aging child of limited intelligence and enormous ignorance. Yuck! I wish they would just get fixated on some type of Hale-Bopp phenomenon, collect their quarters and sneakers, and head on out.
ReplyDeleteName one advocacy organization for people with Down Syndrome in which you hold a leadership or officer position, or one in which you are at least actively involved as a volunteer or fundraiser.
ReplyDeleteGreat question Nefer...totally appropriate and also revealing. If Sarah was actually concerned about Trig, her gift from God, as more than a political prop, that would be an easy answer.
DeletePost this question on the FB page.
DeleteI don't have a facebook account, but someone who does is welcome to post it.
Deletei ripped off your question and posted it on the brenfart post....
Deletei owe you one...
DrLager
Please rephrase that into question format.
DeleteWho built your house, Sarah?
ReplyDeleteTaahhd!!
DeleteAsk her if it's true she told the car pool moms she had a tubal after piper-diaper was born.
ReplyDeleteAsk her if she hides piper-diaper each time uncle ted or duck-hunter show up. You know how they like hem little girls.
DeleteWhy were she and her husband so adamant that their "fifth child" should not be born a Texas "fish picker"?
ReplyDeleteWhat do they have against Texas?
Good one!
DeleteSheesh
How is SpongeBob? Now that's a baby I can believe she birthed. She even made a video about her god given tight abs.
DeleteOn the campaign trail, you pledged that "“To the families of special-needs children all across the country...if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House.”
ReplyDeleteAlthough you were not elected, your high-profile position provided a perfect opportunity play a leadership role in being a "friend and advocate" for families with children who have special needs. What have you done since then to advocate for persons with special needs, not including paid appearances featuring the same repeated speech?
Right now Santorum is more of an advocate for DS kids than sarah ever was.
DeleteAnother question for FB.
DeleteI don't have a facebook account but anyone who does is welcome to post it there.
DeleteQuestions:
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you and Todd sue Shailey Tripp for calling Todd her pimp?
Why didn't you sue bloggers for claiming you didn't give birth to Trig.
Why didn't Bristol sue or press charges against her attacker from the Anchorage brawl?
Why do you claim to be the mother of a combat veteran when according to Track Palin's discharge documents he never saw or came close to combat during his two years in the Army?
DeleteHave you adopted Nancy French?
DeleteAsk her about her "arrangement" with the Koch brothers and the Heritage Foundation.
ReplyDeleteThrow a dead moose or caribou on her platform and ask her to dress it out.
Ask her where she learned her AMAZING pie making skills.
Ask her how profitable SPC is.
Ask her why she is so confident in her lying schemes that she doesn't fear retribution. Who's protecting her?
I've been to Odessa a few times, it's the armpit of the world. She should fit right in there.
ReplyDeleteI was there for a summer. You have to hang with the Country Club crowd. GWB.
DeleteLong time, no see! You be good?
ReplyDeleteMy comments on this FB page:
ReplyDelete"No one else other that Palin asks for lists of question before the event? She needs her ghost writers to write out the answers for her so that she can try to memorize them.
If you comply then your event is not worth the bother for anyone with an ounce of intelligence."
"Before questionz, ask Palin why she thinks the republican party would select here as the nominee? Also, and too, will she be participating in any debates with the other republican candidates?"
I love the Fuc*d up photos of her. On that photo above she looks like she's sitting in the toilet trying to go...
ReplyDeleteA woman named Michelle Turner is responding to every negative facebook post on the Odessa thread. She is saying things like Slander, Trig is enormously loved, libs are jealous and grown kids with real jobs "and lives and are strong enough to not care about what nasty lies people like you concoct" Alicia has a fake facebook account? I clicked the name and got a page isn't available page that I have never seen on FB.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly didn't like my posts, complete with links to video of Sarah and Trig, about Sarah's failure to get Trig therapy until only very recently.
DeleteMichelle Turner? Is she part of the Earthquake?
DeleteAccording to Sunny's internet-savvy friend, Alicia had (at the time) something like 80 different online aliases.
Delete"Michelle Turner" has now deleted ALL her comments. Keep this in mind when reading them because many of the other comments now seem to make no sense.
DeleteWhen I went to the michelle turner page, It said Michele Turner on the page, but in the address bar, it showed it belonged to 'the ryan in alaska' and there is nothing posted under the timeline. a few random likes and one picture. Troll account?
ReplyDeleteone of her likes is sports mom photos wasilla. Is ''michelle turner' on the PAC payroll.
ReplyDeleteCould be, Anon 3:21........could be.
Delete@ 2:47pm...yeah I "be good"! LOL! Bought a house and rescued a pup from the shelter...all this over the Christmas holiday...finally able to check in on Baldy's antics.
ReplyDeleteStill trying to figue out WhoTF is paying for Baldy's speeches....Koch brothers or John McCornteeth?
Anybody else think that Baldy blackmails the ones who brought her to the dance(VP ticket) and they are the ones who cover her speaking fees for these off the wall screeches she does?
Oh and I will be watching Baldy's 5 second appearance on SNL...I can't wait for them to show how BAD she looks now compared to what she looked like in 2008!
Let's hope Mike Meyers screams out when he sees her...
"It's a MAN baby"
ROFLMAO
How did that plate of cookies sustain your constituents during the 2009 fuel and food crisis?
ReplyDeleteI want to know the REAL reason she quit as governor.

Oops maybe Jeb will not be running.
She thinks she looks better, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI would ask her how her son, the veteran, is doing? She was in Houston last year for a PTSD seminar and spoke warmly about her son and how he has been helped and is helping PTSD vets. I know her son is a great admirer of Chris Kyle and his work with PTSD. I would like to ask her many questions about all that. She is always proud to talk about her children.
ReplyDeleteHow did her son manage to transition back to life in the states so well? What is his job? When is he going to speak to his fans and the many people that support him in his endeavors?
I think you may have the wrong address.
DeleteHi Gina, welcome back!!
ReplyDeleteWith Sarah raising the subject of 2008 it's impossible not to notice how attractive she was when she was young, before she had her face lifted and stretched and stuffed so many times. Now she looks like a tranny and she has lost most of her hair.
ReplyDeleteShe did look better on 9/11/08.
DeleteTHIS IS NEWS. NOT PROPAGANDA.
9/11 ABC news.
In an interview Thursday with ABC News’ Charlie Gibson, Palin spoke about her son’s decision to join the Army.
In an interview Thursday with ABC News’ Charlie Gibson, Palin spoke about her son’s decision to join the Army.
"What I know is that my son has made a decision," she told Gibson, "I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer."
Three of the four presidential and vice-presidential candidates have sons headed to Iraq or who have been there . Sen. Joe Biden’s son, Capt. Beau Biden, will also be deployed to Iraq in the next few weeks.
John McCain’s son, 19-year-old Marine Lance Corp. Jimmy McCain, just returned from a tour in the Anbar province of Iraq after a six-month deployment, but unlike his running mate, John McCain never mentions it on the stump.
That’s in stark contrast to Palin’s public highlighting of her son’s service, which has led some to question whether she has politicized Track’s deployment.

Distinguished and Palin? Never! Groundbreaking and a
ReplyDeleteMaverick? Never! She was and still is a coattail grabber,
and hanging on with all her might! She is sweating
desperation , knowing that she is toxic to the Republican
Party, and her fans are pulling away. .
When you think about it, you're right, she's been a coattail grabber all the way back to when she was on the Wasilla City Council, and if she wasn't grabbing a coattail, she was rubbing up against people who served as mentors.
DeleteOnly the ones who have have some use to her are still on her speed dial.
I would like to ask sarah why she looks like a man and talks like a duck.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know why sarahs boobies go from 32 AA to 36B for no apparent reason.
ReplyDeleteGina, you have LITERALLY never looked better than you do right now. Welcome back.

How did posing with a FU Michael Moore poster show leadership qualities?
ReplyDeleteB E L D Y!!
ReplyDeleteHow's it hanging Baby! Thanks for the lovely compliment....and also too thanks for not mentioning how penguining my nose looks today! Hehehe
Trailblazers, Groundbreakers and Mavericks are not pussies who have to prescreen questions. What are you afraid of? How can a scaredy-cat as well as a quitter pants be a leader?
ReplyDeleteWhat to ask Sarah Palin....
ReplyDeleteLiz Hayward Whitlock
Ask her why she has only recently gotten therapy for her son with Down Syndrome. Ask her if she is even aware that she has wasted his best learning years. Ask her if she even cares.

"thanks for not mentioning how penguining my nose looks"
ReplyDeleteYou'll always be lovely in my eyes, Gina. Although.... now that you mention it, you do have a sort of flightless bird vibe going on that I hadn't noticed before.... And something smells a little fishy. Have you been eating raw herring again?
What to ask Sarah Palin....
ReplyDeleteLisa Bjorkelo
Ask her how a family practice physician whose specialty is abused children was able to be her high risk obstetrician and induce her 'pregnancy" at a hospital that was not licensed or credentialed (i.e. DID NOT) induce high risk pregnancies? That's a million $ key question to her whole poorly constructed pregnancy and birth tale. Why did she lie? If she had time to be induced, she had time to go to the hospital she bypassed in Anchorage where everyone would be safe as well as covered for a high risk inducement of a premature baby with DS. Her story does not add up to anyone with any medical or nursing training..

"it" looks constipated.
ReplyDeleteQ: How does charging women for rape kits demonstrate how you as a woman are showing 21st century leadership ?
ReplyDeleteQ: How does using sex as a tool/dressing like a hooker to get what you want show how women are showing 21st century leadership?
How does a woman who won Lie of the Year for her "death panels" blubbering have the nerve to weigh in on Brian Williams?
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO @ "flightless bird vibe"....well to be honest I'm a smoked salmon kind of gal..."raw herring" is a wee bit too strong for my taste buds. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSarah, have you ever told a truth?
ReplyDeleteSarah is there a scientific reason why in Alaska you have hound dog ear titties but in New York your titties looks like they were stuffed to the gills?
ReplyDeleteSarah what name do you use on your SarahPac FEC Recipient's List to get your share of the loot? What's Bristol’s name? What's Todd's name?
ReplyDelete(1) Sarah, why do you look more and more like a mattress-backed cum-dumpster when we see you in public?
ReplyDelete(2) Is your hair and makeup done by a ferret with ADHD?
(3) Will your self-loathing ex-husband finally come clean and confess that he's been spending a lot of time with Bruce Jenner and is almost ready to publicly accept his own sexuality?
