For Sarah Palin, It’s All About The Benjamins

12:17 pm EST January 29th, 2010 | News | 13 Comments

Of course Sarah Palin is still going to the Tea Party Convention, which for all intents and purposes looks like the political equivalent of a Nigerian e-mail scam. Michelle Bachmann, who is a right-wing space cadet who recently called essentially for the overthrow of the government, isn’t attending the confab, but then Bachmann wasn’t slated to get the six-figure payday Palin is.

Every decision Sarah Palin has made in the last few months, especially quitting the Alaska governorship, has been focused on making her more money to throw around back home. Maybe she’ll run for office, but right now she’s got a concentrated set of rubes that think she’s the alpha and the omega and if she can bleed them dry in the process of worshipping her, she’ll just say “You betcha!”

UPDATE: If Palin runs in 2012, Alaska could go Democratic.

    Oh, wait, Sarah claims she won’t be taking the money for herself…she’s just going there to speak to a room full of fat old white men out of the goodness of her heart. Uh huh.

    Haven’t we seen (or, admittedly) lived this in our lives? Pretty girl takes a sudden interest in you, provided you spend the $$$. To quote the under-rated EPMD, “She’s a gold-digger.”

    I just want a photo of her hugging a secessionist teabagger.
    Oops!
    Never mind.

    I ain’t sayin’ she’s a gold-digger…

    Last week, she and Bristol and the uncle/nephew young ‘uns shared the cover of a supermarket checkout mag with the despised Angelina Jolie, crazy Charlie Sheen and some third-rate wannabe celebrity looking like a skeleton with skin. The Palins got $100,000 for that, so it’s a big win! It wasn’t a win for the magazine, InTouch, which sold better with the late Brittany Murphy on the cover a few weeks earlier.

    Psst! Keep quiet about Palin’s fading popularity. We want the Republicans to go on thinking she’s their Great White Hope.

    If I could find a bunch of brain dead morons to pay me big bucks to talk stupid to them, I’d take it too. I don’t really blame her for fleecing the morans.

    According to Keith, it’s $530 for the whole event, $330 just to see Sarah “Quitter” Palin speak.

    So yeah. It’s all about the grift.

    We also want them to think we’re obsessed with her.

    We also want them to think we’re obsessed with her.
    Now where would we ever get that idea?
    Maybe the 1,000 new hits from the left on the ‘Net every day?

    Promote Sarah all you can, Frank DiStupid, or as a fictional character from American folklore put it, “Don’t throw me into that there briar patch!”.
