HONG KONG — Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September.

The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday.

Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.

"Our keynote speakers are notable luminaries who often address topics that go beyond traditional finance such as geopolitics," company spokeswoman Simone Wheeler said in a statement.

She said the conference aimed to present investors "a diversity of views that potentially influence decision-makers who help shape the markets."



Palin made $125,000 a year as governor of Alaska. The former vice presidential candidate, who famously struggled with international topics during her 2008 run, has not indicated what topic she'll discuss during her first trip to Asia.


The event will be closed to the media.

Closed to the media? Wonder why?

The Comedy Network must have been very disappointed.

Because her speech is still going to be on-line within 20 seconds of it being over unless they don't allow any electronic devices into the meeting.

Pretty amazing that anyone still thinks shutting out the press is going to keep your event out of the public eye.

:wtf:

What the fuck qualifications does that worthless pile of bile have to speak at such an event???

:shrug:

pretty appropriate I would say

They've already HAD luminaries. :evilgrin:


btw, yes:


Luminaria in New Mexico

:shrug:


I hate the way the MSM latches onto some people and decides that they're "celebrities." Famous for being famous. This woman was barely relevant even as VP candidate. Now she's an irrelevant has-been governor, but we're going to be subjected to "news" about her until the end of fucking time.

:banghead:

That's the only explanation for this trip.

LOL. Run, Sarah, run! :rofl:

:dem:

-Laelth

She makes GWB look like an Economics Professor.

Which is a hell of a lot more than Failin' can say for herself. x(

"Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience..."


So now the "media" will be able to say she has "foreign policy experience". :rofl:

Really!

Like her lack of experience on foreign policy and a range of other things is not questioned any more. What's this "once" crap?

What's she gonna muse about at this global investment getaway? How moose shot from an airplane can make great stew? How to Twitter? Abstinence Only?

:D

Last I checked, former politicians are not in that position. Why in HELL is the press describing the shit that comes out of her mouth as "policy statements"?

I have more experience in foreign policy, having helped to create some of it, than Sarah Palin does. And I've BEEN to Asia.

...they will keep her.

One can hope...

Who knows, she might even run into Putin's floating head!

Maybe she will sell them part of Alaska.

as she tries to 'splain....well, anything.

funny shaped eyes there. Does she know that?

She'll open with, "Hey, I can see China from here!"

No media, no Sarah!! You betcha! I think I've seen this movie before. :evilgrin:

Please don;t let her come back...you can keep her!
For reals! Just keep her..you bet'cha!

You don't want to look like an idiot, do you?

.... drop the US Dollar as the reserve currency after Palin's 'performance'.

Better buy ourselves a pile of Russian roubles ASAP.

"Crazy Wolf Woman"

By sending her to Asia, they are in danger of having her learn something about the world. The less ignorant she is, the less appeal she is going to have to the ignorant, who are really her base.

:sarcasm:

:banghead:

Asia's a CONTINENT, not a country.

It was only a few miles away. She could see Asia from her front porch.

Hoo, boy.

She just rambles anyway, why bother? :rofl:

Lawd knows this con artist has as much economic experience as a case of canned Alaskan salmon.

:rofl: Just saw that closed to the media line :rofl:

Gee, I wonder why?! :rofl:

They can have her.

well then she needs to check herself.

---or is she "studyin' up" on her Asian?

She will come back from Asia and claim she has foreign policy experience because she was there one time to give a speech.

How convenient.

I mean, maybe the panel that selects guests is competing in "biggest idiot presenter" considering the state of finance and banking in the past year or so. I think we have a winner folks!

What is this hick woman going to say to a room full of serious money and finance people?
