Many big lecture venues are subscription series, "and they don't want to tick people off," said our source. "Palin is polarizing, and some subscribers might cancel if she's on the lineup." Other lecture buyers are universities, which have a leftist slant, and corporations, which dislike controversy.

"Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups -- unless they are interested in moose hunting," said our insider. "What does she have to say? She can't even describe what she reads."

The witnesses invited include a host of officials from the medical, political, private insurance, and non-governmental world -- each with a clear area of expertise on the topic of caring for the elderly.

Then there is Palin. The former Alaska Governor's health care policy contribution is defined by a brief Facebook message she wrote in early August in which she warned that Democratic reform would create "death panels" tasked with determining who to euthanize, including her child with Down Syndrome.

I have a confession to make. I've been watching the Sarah Palin Ebay charity dinner auction with somewhat of an obsession. Who would be willing to bid $25,000 or more for dinner with Sarah Palin? Newsworthy? Probably not. More important things to think about? You betcha. But I've been doing it anyway. It's cheap entertainment when you're sitting around sick with the flu. Blame it on the Nyquil.

The best part about my frivolous obsession, is that shortly after I started watching the auction, I became privy, thanks to a couple of the bidders, to the strange and mysterious back story of the bidd

Sarah Palin international diplomat? Yep and according to her all this is the government's fault. Does she know this started under the Republicans and by her accounting this would have been her fault?

"I'm going to call it like I see it and I will share with you candidly a view right from Main Street, Main Street U.S.A.," Palin told a room full of asset managers and other finance professionals, according to a video of part of the speech obtained by The Associated Press. "And how perhaps my view of Main Street ... how that affects you and your business."

Yep, Palin claims victory for screeching loudly enough about "Death Panels" and she got her way. They removes the counciling for end of life from the bill.

She gloated about it on her Facebook page. "It's gratifying that the voice of the people is getting through to Congress," she said.

Yeah the voice of the crazy people. There is no death panel. That we even have to have this conversation is depressing.

Thing is, she was all for it last year. So does this mean she's just against the gov't? This is the kind of stuff that this site was created for.

On her Facebook page? WTF? She;s writing about government death panels speaking about evil. At least it's not the acid trip recap her good bye speech sounded like.

And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

Yep, that's right Palin wants you to believe that Obama's health care plan is forming Death Panels to decide who's going to die.

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care."

And Newt defends the idiotic statement...with an even more idiotic statement.

"Look, for the last five years we ran a Bush Impeachment Fund, and no one complained," the manager reportedly said. "People here hate Palin, and we've gotten lots of compliments on those jars. People take their pictures with them and everything. So this is the first negative thing I've heard."

Well it doesn't look like anyone will be looking to have a Palin as a pal. There don't seem to be a lot takers for her kind of blurting and acts of random outbursts.

Interviews with a number of the most conservative Democrats in the House and Senate induced an awkward, stare-at-your-shoes unease when the prospect of appearing with Palin was posed.

And here we have another ethics complaint. The third since she's left office - uhm announced that she was leaving office. Wasn't the whole reson for her leaving blamed on ethics complaints?

And here's a compilation of Palin's 12 most cringe worthy moments as put together by the Huffington Post. The Curic interview, her confusion of what a VP is, getting booed at the hockey game and more for your viewing pleasure. It's a great trip down crazy lane.

Ooooooo ... here's a surprise. Palin lied about why she was resigning. Claiming the onslaught of legal battles as a reason for her resigning. That it was costing the state too much.

Greg Sargent reported on The Plum Line that one of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's key reasons for resigning -- that ethics complaints against her were draining the state of money -- appeared to be false. Surprise!

Now that the cat's out of the bag, uhm Palin's out of office. Peggy Noonan has decided it's ok to say how she really feels ... sort of. It's not like her calling the choice of Palin for VP "political bullshit" but it's refreshingly honest coming from someone who usually appears to have their conservative head up their ass.

In television interviews she was out of her depth in a shallow pool. She was limited in her ability to explain and defend her positions, and sometimes in knowing them. She couldn't say what she read because she didn't read anything. She was utterly unconcerned by all this a...
