Palin uses Facebook page to cancel Reagan Library event.

Sarah Palin is so super-maverick-y now that she won’t even honor her vow to make a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where she was scheduled to speak at the Simi Valley Republican Ladies Group Fund-raiser for Republicans, a very widely reported exciting event that was to be her first public appearance since just quitting the governorship of Alaska because fuck those people, right?

Just days after officially stepping down as governor of Alaska, former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is dropping out of an advertised speaking engagement in Simi Valley ….

It was on Thursday that Palin’s spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton made public the news of the decision not to attend the event via Palin’s Facebook page.

Up to 900 people were expected to attend the event at $100 a ticket for members and $150 for non-members, but media had been barred from the occasion.

Facebook! She fucks these people over via Facebook. She’ll probably take Bristol out of her will via Twitter.

2. Wha wha what?
I bought into the conventional wisdom that she would cash in on the speaking circut. She gets money, can spew reactionary bile, and no election to lose, a no brainer for even a no brainer like Palin.

I wonder how many schlubs took vacation time from work to see her there.

4. Pretty sure she was un-invited.
They wanted to use her to get attendance and raise money, but she has self destructed so much that they can't even use her to do that now.

5. Everybody's looking for the canny manipulation of her fame . . .
By a sharp-minded but unconventional conniver.

But what if she's just fuckin' crazy?

7. I'm not sure she ever did commit to being there...
but the story was out a month ago that she would be in attendance. It's pathetic that she waited this long to announce she wasn't coming.

Maybe the ticket holders failed to read the fine print?

Here's how the Repubs are advertising the 2010 Southern Republican Leadership Conference:

http://www.srlc2010.com/

Oooh...looks like Palin* (Big pic of the Quitter, since she's the star), Barbour*, Hannity*, Huckabee*, Jindal*, Pawlenty*, Perdue*, and Perry* are scheduled to speak!!11!!1!!1

Not.

Note the asterisk after the headliner's names and color glossies, and the there's this:

*All speakers are listed as invited. As the largest GOP gathering until the 2012 National Convention you can expect the top conservative leaders in the Country to be at the conference.

They don't even mind misleading their own for a few bucks. :rofl:
