This June, Politicon will be toasting to a second term as the quintessential non-partisan event of the year. In honor of the impending presidential election, we’re upping the ante with some of the biggest names in politics and the wittiest voices in comedy and entertainment, representing all sides of the political spectrum.
Join us at the Pasadena Convention Center for a full weekend of panels, debates, TV and movie screenings, art, podcasts, comedy shows, Q&A’s, book readings, interviews, meet & greets, art exhibitions, and music performances.
With 12 rooms ranging from 50-seaters to large-scale auditoriums, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with political heavyweights, revel in the endless humor with the likes of James Carville and Sarah Palin, dissect documentaries and parodies with filmmakers, and maybe even interact with a few of history’s greatest leaders.
I cannot even BEGIN to imagine how desperate Sarah Palin must be for money to agree to something like this.
Carville is famous for ripping debate opponents apart and his dislike for Sarah Palin is well known. (Though to be fair he and his wife did let her interview them one time.)
Yeah, unless Carville pulls a Joe Biden and lets her off the hook, this is going to be a slaughter.
She'll just "debate" a video of him like she did the climate guy.
ReplyDeleteNow that I would watch.
ReplyDeleteCan't help but wonder what kind of agreements they had to agree to get her scheduled?
ReplyDeleteAlso, wonder if she'll back out at the last minute due to that being her normal procedure throughout the past years?
And, could the money she'll earn at the function be even more important to her and her family members? After all, she is currently selling her second home in AZ and one of her RV's. Are the Palins having personal financial problems?
She is probably paying them in order to stay relevant.
DeleteOr say the same thing over and over, like one lady defending drumf.
ReplyDeletePalin has never had a shred of dignity. The real question is how desperate for revived relevance Carville is to do such a thing. He and Mary "So Botoxed I Can't Move My Mouth" Matalin need to fade quietly into the woodwork. Their time is long over.
ReplyDeleteHis wife Mary Maitlin seemed like she was high last time I saw her on TV. Can't remember what show it was.
DeleteI've been happy to see James a couple times recently. I've missed seeing him around so infrequently.
DeleteI agree with your description on Mary Maitlin. Her face is immobile. I lost alot of respect I use to have for James Carville being married to this horror. He sat and never contradicted her when she W kept us safe from terrorist attack.Total BS.
DeleteMary and $carah can compare Botox, cheek implants, lip enhancements. That would draw atendees. Politics, from $carah? Not so much.
Delete@3:16pm - I remember that interview. It was a while ago, and she did act & sound wasted. It's always a good thing when we don't see her around.
DeleteSarah can't debate. She just regurgitates RW bumper sticker phrases and cue cards and sometimes even gets those wrong.
ReplyDeleteShe'll cancel.
ReplyDeleteI'll pay 500 bucks to the first publicity department that uses a picture of sarah palin taken within five years of present time. That picture is almost a decade old!
If you were trying to promote her, would you use a recent picture? I sure as hell wouldn't; she looks like SHIT!
DeleteSara's latest 'youthful beauty trick' is usin' charcoal scalp powder to hide her receding hairline/baldness. Looks fake as hell the way she's applying it (or is it Willow) in a solid line.
DeleteShe's gotten the message about how nasty and cheap her old stinky wigs were and is trying out a new look. Lookin' fresh and young, Hun!
He loves his crazy Cheney wife. He will do his act but remain sweet with Palin. I would not be shocked if they are working on their act together. Exchanging the exchange and balancing out the barbs.
ReplyDeleteVery possible.
DeleteThey're both represented by the Washington Speakers Bureau. It will be a performance intended for entertainment value. I doubt it will be entertaining or newsworthy. Shame on Carville for dignifying Palin as someone worth debating.
DeleteWhy is Carville punching down? Go figure.
DeleteBecause he wants to get a hot meal. Who else is looking for his opinion these days?
DeleteThe Politicon page for Palin says she only has 2 grandchildren - not acknowledging Sailor Grace, I see.
ReplyDeleteOr Britta's daughter?!
DeleteOr Britta's daughter?!
DeleteOr Track's latest bastard on the way.
DeleteShe must not have the slightest idea who he is.
ReplyDeleteShe is stupid enough to think that if he is married to a republican he must be one.
"Hey Sarah, you know he is married to republican Mary Matalin (who she also wouldn't know if Mary jumped up and bit her), right?"
"Oh well, then of course I would be honored to discuss with James Caribou, oh is he Alaaaskan also too with a servant's heart, no wait, an Alaaaaskan heart, and discuss the state of what journamalism is like in these days of politicalistics and whatnot and uh, yeah. Sure. Okay."
One thing Mary has that $carah does not - GREAT HAIR!!
DeleteAaaand the $$ to pay for it, @1:59.
DeleteYou get what you pay for with hairdressers.
My only question is, will she show up sober? OK, one more-whose closet will she rob to outfit herself? Willow is too short, and Brissy only wears torn jeans, so I am guessing that as usual, she will be dressed like a 15 year old.
ReplyDeleteTrue, true.
DeleteI'm betting she'll go with the old stand-by outfit - bugle bead top, pencil skirt, fanny pads & the Belmonts. And let's not forget a dirty wig. Should be a good time!
DeleteI'm guessing she goes for the rapidly aging Vegas showgirl look similar to the outfit she wore at the speech were there was a pic of her along side an old bald guy with a raging stuffy.
DeleteBTW, who runs C4P now that Becky Mansour has left?
Can she fit into Piper's clothes yet?
Delete@1:48, Yes she can only if she 'stuffs' or wears the Belmonts.
DeletePiper diaper is stacked! That's gotta make the old granny's teeth grit(the teeth she has left).

ReplyDelete-----------------------
So, Tundradunce is not in the "political heavyweights" category, nor in the "history's greatest leaders" category.
She is in the "revel in endless humor" category. A clown. And no, Carville is not in that category. He is the one who will generate "endless humor" at Dipsy Dolt's expense.
I wouldn't even call it humor, Nefer, her shtick has long since grown old and grating.
DeleteNo, she's in the "endless humor" category, at not with.
DeleteMildred
I will never happen..she will agree to get press, then drop out, blaming Obama or the liberal media or some stupid shit
ReplyDeleteShe will have a "family emergency". LOL.
Delete"She will have a "family emergency". LOL."
DeleteGood heavens...another one?!?
She might really have one. No one can stay sober, nonviolent or unpregnant for 20 minutes.
DeleteShe probably gets 25% if she cancels, so easy money.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine how drunk and high she would need to do this.
Hope there are lots of loberal hollywood types there that point and augh at her.
I predict a "her family needs her" cop out, when in reality she will be in the fetal position in her Wasilla bedroom scared to death.
I love the new nickname for Sarah Palin that is showing on this blog - "Tundradunce"! It's perfect for her!
ReplyDeleteNot a debate.
ReplyDeleteCarville will talk. Palin will babble nonsense and go after the president---because she has nothing else.
Carville will explain policy.
Palin will swig a Big Gulp, wear inappropriate clothes and talk about how unfair it is the president got Track's beaten up girlfriend pregnant.
Carville will talk about the democratic party. Palin will talk about Melania's clothes and how Trump is a damned wrecking ball or some other idiocy.
If they're the "entertainment" portion, he won't nail her for her idiocy and continuing lack of political knowledge. What a waste of time.
DeleteI agree... Not a debate.
DeleteI will bet every reader here $1 that she shows up wearing that same getup she has on in the photo where she and Todd are trying to sell the motorhome! Proceeds go to Gryph! Can I get a hallelujah?!
ReplyDeleteI think she'll dress much worse, if that is possible.
DeleteNotice the wording. They are calling it a discussion which is no where near a debate.
ReplyDeleteHe will be polite and Palin will do her rahrah routine and special blend of word salad.
That is a very good point. They both will talk in circles. I've been a Democrat far longer than Carville and he is just a leftwing Palin in far too many ways. It's just an easy way for them both to make some fast money.
DeleteThe whole thing is like WWF or WWE, or whatever the f they call themselves. Scripted conflict to boost name recognition.
ReplyDeleteHeidiWY
WTF is wrong with people to give her any platform at all! I'll bet SHE paid to get on the bandwagon. Carville could carve her up, but he's too much of a gentleman to do it. I hate that she is even considered for this gig. It just feeds her narcissism and self importance. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a fucked up country 3:10..... this I now is true
DeleteShe wants donations like she's asking for appearing with tump at San Diego! Donations Or Buying Moderator - https://goo.gl/LwUKre MAIN CHANNEL - https://goo.gl/BggWQ9
ReplyDeleteThat photo is very old, before she went full on meth crazy
ReplyDeleteWhen she shows up in person, the crowd can say, "Oh poor little Saree P must be sick but she sent her dear mom to stand in for her"
DeleteUnless this event is paying Sarah Palin a lot of money plus luxurious accommodations she'll never show up. Some kind of emergency will occur that will keep her somewhere else, but probably not at home.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Fortunately for her, the Palin family is an endless source of real "emergencies" for her to choose from; all of them well documented by police reports.
DeleteOnly problem is, Carville pauses to think and he stutters when trying to find just what he wants to say, but Palin, like Trump, will just keep talking and saying whatever--like Trump, Palin thinks just talking means saying something of value and means winning an argument. I think she'll out-talk him.
ReplyDeleteRyan will vote drumpf. Lol. What a loser he is and always will be. No reverence at all.
ReplyDelete$10 citation for misuse of apostrophe: pulls a Joe Biden and let's her off the hook.
ReplyDeleteApostrophe misuse drive me nuts. It's a possessive, for crying out loud, think of what you're talking about!
DeleteAlso too, the movie "Bridget Jones's Diary." It's Jones' for crying out loud.
She will show up to collect a fast buck, and pour on the folksy schtick, including dropping G's! I'll bet dollars to donuts that she will be wearing the pleather rubber-ass skirt to do the pageant walk onstage! Fuckin' dolt!
DeleteThis link is about Trump but I'm pasting it in. So worth reading, if just for the words "seething ham planet"!
ReplyDeleteHillary's speech was great. Trump has a rally later today in San Jose and you know he'll be spewin' about the Hillary speech.

Carville will go into southern gentleman mode, but it would be a nice b'day present for me.
ReplyDeleteCarville will be polite, but he will rip the TundraDunce a new one. The contempt he feels for lying, hypocritical, incoherent $arah PayMe will be palpable in the room.
DeleteDid she get invited to republican convention yet?
ReplyDeleteSome time back she was supposed to 'debate' someone else but turns out she was merely at the same event. I truly hope this time it's true and that the little tart gets held up by her eff-me pumps and swung out of the auditorium. Splat! For the life of me I don't see why Palin keeps beating the dead horse of a 'political' career that she imagines she possesses. All she has is a big mouth, a lust for attention and a huge need for $$$$. Gag. Poor Carville if he has to do as Joe Biden did and treat her like the special needs case she is.
ReplyDeletePalin, you're a thin-skinned asshole through and through, just like your boy toy Drumpf. You'll chicken out. Fucking disappear already.
ReplyDeleteThe "com" in Politicom stands for comedy. That's why Sarah Palin is there.
ReplyDeleteCarville is married to a woman who says equally ridiculous things. Mary Matalin loves Cheney and says absurd things. Carville has had lots of practice.
ReplyDeleteConsidering who he's married to, he's immune to all kinds of crazy. My money's on him. She'll make up an excuse like "Jury Duty" or "Zika virus" depending on her alerts and how they're set up. She's got nothing to lose, but no one likes to be laughed at for days, especially Sarah.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Mary Matalin get dear Sari her very first book deal? I read that recently.
ReplyDeleteI doubt she will do it. Carville is too bright and will rip her to shreds. His wife gets on my last nerve. I don't know how their marriage survives.
ReplyDeleteWill never happen.
ReplyDeleteCarville has a great sense of humor. Sarah? None at al.
ReplyDeleteIt's a payday for both of them. The Washington Speakers Bureau represents both of them and gets a management fee. There's no reason for Palin to back out.
ReplyDeleteI predict an exceptionally boring 'debate.'
The wittiest? More like the dimwitted. When it comes to a Palin.
ReplyDeleteGive me a fucking break!
First of all, it says discussion, not debate. And you know she'll want all questions in advance and there will be a list of untouchable topics.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, she's not going to show up.
Future - Where Ya At? uh oh Sarah sounds like the 'hired help' isn't happy with you right now?
ReplyDeletefeed Sarah dog food and call her a mutt!
