Sarah Palin making first trip to Asia in September

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.

"We just felt it would be a fabulous opportunity for CLSA clients to hear from Mrs. Palin," Wheeler said, adding that CLSA approached Palin with the offer.

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

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Is she going to talk about turkey chipping, teen abstinence, helicopter hunting, the awful media, the Great Glenn Beck, death panels, Gawd and Jeebus or what??????

From Clinton and Gore to this?

What? Levi was busy? I'll bet she will hold Trig and Piper will be by her side.

I want somebody to find a way to get a tape of this meeting out! If she speaks as she normally does, it will be one a runon sentence to beat the band.

If she talks cogently about anything remotely resembling fiscal policy, she doesn't understand a word she is saying.
As for her knowledge of geopolitics, remember she kept an eye on Russia from her porch and Africa is one HUGH! country. Seriesly!

Who cares?

I don't know how to post pics, but when someone mentions Palin as an intelligent human being, I think of this pic. http://christopherc.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/the-door-geniuses/

I'm sure she could get a spot on The Deadliest Catch and then we could all watch her puking her guts out while trying to work a real job.

You know, it's right next to Russia.

However, after she discovers the shopping hot spots I predict she will suddenly develop a terrible case of laryngitis.

You betcha.

Her speaking to global investment managers and them taking her serious? :rofl: :rofl:

This babe probably can't get a shopping list done right yet have any concept on the global economy. I hope Mooselini brings her flute...that'll be about the only thing she can do there that will show she has any promise.

Honestly, this lady is clueless about economics...thus we could get some good sound bites to play with.

Africa or Asia? Inquiring minds want to know.

So she thought she'd visit Hong Kong orphanage.

That has to be the #1 reason right there!

(Do you think everyone will get it?)

on her request for an aerial panda shoot.

about international finance and geopolitics.

her spokescreecher Meg Stapletongue will be whining on Facebook about "What appearance??? We NEVER confimed that!"

Any action on the reason?

:rofl:

:shrug: I guess she will be the comedy entertainment.

Can you imagine a press conference with her following her display of knowledge of International Finance? I can't wait :rofl:.

"Dim wit goes for dim sum"
