Would you pay to have dinner with Sarah Palin?
Earlier this month, I posted on how Ride 2 Recovery, the charity for wounded veterans, was offering one lucky person the chance to win dinner for five with Alaska Governor turned professional Facebook-status-updater Sarah Palin, by placing bids on eBay. Well, the latest update is that if one of the current frontrunners ends up winning and joins Palin for a meal, that dinner could prove to be very awkward!

Scott Woodham reports in today's Alaska Dispatch that the bidder in question is best-selling author and notable Palinographer Joe McGinniss.

McGinniss is among the top-two bidders in that now-famous eBay auction for a foursome dinner date with Palin. He's bid $59,999.99 to dine with Our Lady of the North. The ecstatic subject line to an email McGinniss sent to AlaskaDispatch.com Thursday night read, "I'm going for the knockout blow! (mostly because I like the 'FREE shipping' guarantee)."

Now If they were taking bids for who got to give her a pie in the face I might consider it.

1. I'd pay to avoid having dinner with her.
I'd rather roll naked over broken glass.

13. For what it's worth, virgogal, if you cook it properly, moose is exceptionally tasty!

sometimes close my mind to "wild" things.

30. Most people eat meat Ranger Dave.
And most people use the caps key when necessary.

Seek to infiltrate smarter in the future...as if we're somehow worth infiltrating.
