Palin Has 1,070+ Speaking Invitations
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin this week will begin accepting and rejecting the more than 1,070 invitations she has received for paid speeches and political appearances since she resigned from office, aides said.
Twenty speakers’ bureaus made offers to represent her. She has signed with Washington Speakers Bureau, which represents everyone from George and Laura Bush to Bob Woodward and Katie Couric to Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell and Rudy Giuliani.
More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state Legislature, aides said.
Palin will be doing both paid speeches, which are expected to go for six figures apiece, and unpaid speeches for political and charitable causes, including Christian organizations, groups that support families with special-needs children and military families.
Palin has made no commitments so far, and Washington Speakers Bureau will start responding to the invitations this week.
In addition she is acout 85% done with her book, according to Politico. Google claims 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,
Hat tip: Politico and Google News.
Not bad for a washed-up old hag whose political career the Democrats, media and RINOs claim is over.
[1]
Hopefully her people/their people can get their bookings straight so that it doesn’t keep looking like she is a flake. If she is not booked for something, it is unfair to call her a no show. If she is booked and no one tells her, etc….

Not bad for a washed-up old hag whose political career the Democrats, media and RINOs claim is over.
Lets don’t over play it. Jimmy Carter still gets paid speaking engagements to this day. But I am glad she is in demand.
[3]
Good point JM.
It’s impressive how Palin’s “dance card” is stacking up. It’s seems as if she is quietly retooling her public image, and is trying to be more in control of the events around her, rather than the other way around (like it was when she was running for office with McCain).
Also, if she is 85% done with her book, one can’t say Palin has just been sitting around doing twitter or facebook jottings.
[4]
I hereby invite Sarah Palin to speak HERE on BeJohnGalt any time! Now she 1071+ invitations!!
[5]
GREAT NEWS !!!
[6]
Is one of those invitations to speak at NARAL ??? hahahahaha
[7]
What about the upscale invitations?
[8]
Here’s an interesting PAC I had not heard of till today — Freshmen50
JR, why not fire off a quick note to her Facebook page and suggest a bloggers confab online? She can do it from the comfort of her house while Tom is making moose sausage.
[9]
Todd.
[10]
Well I certainly hope we get some more principled journalism, like we got during the general election, on how much she is spending on clothes for all these speaking engagements…
Oh never mind how much Barack and Michelle spend on clothes, that would be racist or something.
[11]
JM, yep. Whacking myself on the back of the head…

“I hereby invite Sarah Palin to speak HERE on BeJohnGalt any time! Now she 1071+ invitations!!”
The date is January 27th in Detroit. Since Sarah will be in re-education camp with us, that should be a great time. I am already planning the menu. How about roast rat? Or would you prefer barbecued rat?
[16]
Amazing, considering how hard the pro aborts / athiests are trying to smear her.
[17]
justrand,
You realize, if Sarah said yes, you would have to make it invite only. The call in lines would be flooded if you made it public. To have such problems.

NEWSWEEK’S ELEANOR CLIFT WRONG: HYDE AMDT DOESN’T STOP ABORTION FUNDING IN HEALTH CARE
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — In the latest example of the mainstream medical covering up what pro-life advocates already know and some media outlets have admitted, Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift maintains that the Hyde amendment would stop abortion funding in health care. But a pro-life expert says that’s not the case.
[20]
MORE POLITICAL ANALYSTS PREDICT PRO-LIFE GAINS IN CONGRESS IN 2010 ELECTONS
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Advancing a pro-abortion health care bill that could lead to rationing medical care and having a pro-abortion president who is making taxpayers fund abortions appears to come at a cost for the abortion advocates who lead Congress. More political analysts are predicting pro-life gains after the 2010 elections.
[21]
Eleanor Cliff is known to exaggerate the news to make a point. She is a shrill shill for the dims.

You’ve been gone too long IP, that one ran here several weeks ago.

Eph Rove, isn’t that part of the E8 Lie group symbol? You know, the theory of everything that unifies electroweak and gravitation? We had a discussion about that here a few days ago….
I think that’s what you gravatar is…

That’s cool, EPH. I’m a pro-life cat myself.

not to worry, IP, that Santa Cruz City Council meeting is ALWAYS in “good taste”. It is good to remember that a HUGE percentage of the Left’s support comes from airheads like that!
Cheers, and (again) welcome back!! Poetry Night just wasn’t the same without you.
[38]
Eph,
I believe a gnat swarm is in progress if you care to join.
[39]
38. No thanks, Dave Wissing is an immature little twirp who has, for some reason, fallen in love with Chekote.
Thankfully no KOS plants post here.
[40]
oops, sorry for the double post
[41]
I grabbed it.
[42]
You can bet that ObamaCare will include abortion funding – if not in the bill itself, hidden as a rider to a bill that has nothing to do with health care. Obama, Pelosi abd Reid will see to that.
[43]
aureliusx & Eph , I greatly enjoy the fact that E8 is replete with the Star of David.
[44]
I have the dubious distinction of being banned by Dave Wissing , the
immature little twirp . He took offense at my anti homo marriage diatribes. A closet salad tosser perhaps.
[45]
Who is Dave Wissing? At least I got banned by FreeRepublic.
[46]
He’s the guy who owns and blogs at Hedgehog Report.
[47]
Good to see some folks coming over from HHR to supplement the PP expatriates.
Right now this is a Chekote-free zone. We haven’t really gotten any trolls, other than a successfully repelled acroso invasion right at the beginning (and now HA is infected with acroso).
Welcome back, IP–how was summer vacation?
[48]
thanks for posting the clip INC! That’s what I was thinking of…
[49]
4 new threads posted at Poli since yesterday–comment totals are as follow: 8, 3, 2, 4
[50]
Holy moley! I went over to the hedgehog report and I’m still shaking from the PTSD…
It’s worse than acroso at PP, what Chek is doing to HHR. Trolling with admirable effect– getting everyone all revved up and distracted from the issues at hand, and always always always coming back to Palin,
OK, take a deep breath… you never have to go back to either site again….
Whew.
(BTW she called INC “Mullah INC” over there).
[51]
44. LOL. If not a closet salad tosser than a big time RINO.
That entire site (90%) is dedicated to Chekabortion bashing pro lifers and conservatives. Dave gives HIM/Chekote a voice so luckily he will stay there – on a Maryland “conservative” blog that gives prime ad space to MSNBC.
[52]
Welcome back, IP–how was summer vacation?~~Phineas
A great respite from the blogosphere..

50. The Palin hatred comes from abortion regret.
Someday he’ll get help

53– did she admit that? Would not be surprised.
Can you imagine what would be happening on this thread if she were here?

Good post at HA.
I had actually forgotten much about this–probably because I was much more of a liberal back then.
Rereading it now is chilling.
That such a cretinous person could be so idolized really is the ultimate proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.
[58]
Eph how do you feel about Palin? I’m agnostic as to whether she would be the right choice for 2012 or not. Can she beat the media hate? I honestly am not sure. Would be entertaining to watch though.
[59]
Chekote will turn any thread into:
1. Palin-bashing
2. Abortion promotion
3. Social conservative-bashing
4. A rant against the Catholic Church
5. A rant against Christianity
Did I miss anything?
[60]
I LOVE SARA PALIN!
She represents everything great about this coutry.
[61]
“5. A rant against Christianity”
Revise to hatred against all religious people. As a Jew I have felt the rath myself when I posted a Friday “message” thread over there.

MY TOP 5 ELECTED OFFICIALS -CUURENT OR PAST- ARE;

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

mfg,
Thank you kindly. I love this blog. Very well organized.
[69]
Eph
I put Jon Kyl on my list of acceptable senators. However, if rwy is here he vehemently disagrees because of Kyl’s 2007 amnesty vote.
Eric Cantor has been a new younger voice added to the GOP, but according to internet gossip Rahm E. has something on him making his voice less out there recently.
Am loving Chaney, both him and his daughter, for their outspoken digs at the dims.
[70]
Well, truth be told it was actually a tamping iron, but I won’t quibble.
It actually cleared up my muddled thinking quite a bit, but the headaches were hell.
[71]
JM and JR keep it organized
BC is the workhorse poster
DD RWY INC RP et al are the contributors
I’m the comic relief
It works
[72]
Rahm aint got jack on Cantor. Cantor is a real Jew and Rahm is not.
[73]
MFG
You must be looking for compliments, as you are far from comic relief around here — more like some of the rebar!
[74]
janzam,
I would add Sam Brownback, Mike Pence, Michelle Bachmann, Jeb Bush, and Jim DeMint to the 6-10 slots too.
[75]
We have a nice team here, Jan, very few real disagreements; I’ve had the misfortune in the past of having real world jobs where there was tremendous upheaval and personality conflicts which made the work environment a total nightmare
I’ve often thought how pleasant it would be to work with the people associated with this blog in the “real world”
[76]
Oh, and Jan, we’d love to have you as a guest contributor, why don’t you send JM something when you have a chance…???
[77]
Brownback and Jeb? Why?
I’d rather not speed amnesty through Congress any faster.
[78]
ahhhh back for a little peice and quiet after finishing asisting the knat swarm at HHR.
[79]
Eph
Good list, IMHO, except for Sam Brownback, who I am not particularly fond of…and, it will be a while before another Bush would be appealing. I’m not a big fan of family political dynasties, like the Kennedys or the Bushes.
I would also add to your list Thune, Inhole, Cornyn, and Coburn. The latter, especially at this time, as he is a physician.
[80]
MFG
You are so kind. I received some info from JM a while back. There are two reasons I haven’t posted anything:
1) I’ve been busy with school and business obligations.
2) and…I’m kinda shy in light of all the well-researched threads posted from all of you. Gotta gear myself, which I will!
[81]
Okay — I missed it… Did BJG ban Che? giggle, giggle…or did Chekote get mad at RWY and threaten everyone that she was leaving again, say her last goodbyes again for the 1,000th time, and slivering away?
[82]
Jan
I figured you were busy
But we would like to hear from you
No need to be shy
[83]
I am going to Alaska for vacation in 10 days…. my travel companion/BFF and I sent messages to Sarah’s FB page to find out if she was speaking anywhere in AK the 2 weeks we are there… we are both huge Sarah fans. Mother says only vacation gift she wants is a picture of Sarah!!!
[84]
She left after one final showdown with JM.
I figured she’d be back, but she’s stayed over at HHR since.
Looks like she has finally found a home.
[85]
Judy, I believe she’s been placed in permanent moderation.
[86]
I like Coburn and Thune too. Good picks.
Brownback is a tremendous friend of Israel and you dont get more pro-life than him either.
[87]
Judy, bring back photos to post!
[88]
Permanent Moderation? what is that? Is there such a thing for Che? You know I was gone because I just couldn’t stand the constant negativity that she brought into my life…. coping with the ZERO and his ilk is difficult enough without the constant fights with the neurotic Che.
[89]
judy,
Chekabort now makes the HHR his new home. He can try and convert everyone there to KOS with the microphone Dave Wissing gave him.
[90]
judy,
Chekabort is a man.
[91]
‘Permanent Moderation? what is that?’
Quarantine in limbo.
[92]
Are you sure, Eph?
Never though that was the case. The posts seemed quite female, if I may be sexist for a moment.
[93]
I think permanent moderation means all your comments are held and must be approved on an individual basis.
Quarantine in limbo.
Just saw that–I think that describes it well!
[94]
I am a big fan of VP Cheney and know that there will always be a voice to speak up about keeping Americans safe as long as he is alive.
Cheney versus the blowhard gaffer Biden… is there any comparison.
Cheney was added to the Bush ticket to strengthen foreign policy and national defense issues… Biden was added to Zero’s ticket to make Obama appear more intelligent than he is and make Obama’s gaffes look minor in comparison to the drivel that comes out of Biden’s mouth… cheap advertising trick from marketing 101.
[95]
Lots of news blurbs today indicating that the powers-that-be in Mass. are going to meet in early Sept. to discuss changing the law to put an interim Senator in for Kennedy (cough, cough —> his widow, Vicki, I bet).
This reminds me of the Lautenberg Maneuver, years ago. It’s amazing how the dims continue to change the rules to enhance their political position. This time it’s to punch HC thru with 60 votes.
[96]
“Are you sure, Eph?”
As sure as I am about him being a plant for Daily KOS – YES !!
[97]
When did Chekote become a man? I thought she was an Italian immigrant/exchange student who married her high school boyfriend after getting caught by the Baptist in-laws having teen-aged sex.
[98]
Chekote is a man!!!
Is that being funny, eph, or revealing something not known around here?
[99]
judy,
you’re waaaaaaay off
[100]
I thought she was an Italian immigrant/exchange student who married her high school boyfriend after getting caught by the Baptist in-laws having teen-aged sex.
Yep, Judy, that has been her handle, the whole time! Including that she has a horse she attends to now and then!
[101]
Listen, Chekote is a compulsive liar. I know that.
So why would you believe anything he has to say about anything????
[102]
janzam,
Is horse a metaphor for a job?

[104]
Geez……………….
[105]
jan, the seat was always going to be Dem anyways. It is outrageous that they can flout the normal process, but who knows? There is not a lot known about this woman, and she may not turn out to be the reliable raging lib they expect. If she does, no great loss.
When that Senate seat goes Republican, we’ll know that the conservative revolution has been completed.
[106]
2) and…I’m kinda shy in light of all the well-researched threads posted from all of you. Gotta gear myself, which I will! — Jan
Find a topic close to your heart. The article will nearly write itself.
[107]
AT BJG SHE WAS OUR BETE NOIRE,
A HIRSUIT SHE ALWAYS WORE,
CHEKOTE WAS HER NAME,
HYPERBOLE WAS HER GAME,
DO NOT OPEN THE LINK,I IMPLORE.
[108]
Not to be too harsh on my sex — but I believe that Che was a woman… she had too many issues with men who are not emasculated metro sexuals, and could be very emotional and illogical in structuring her arguments. Her arguments were all about feelings and not logic or reason — which also meant she was a liberal. Most of us conservative females are able to balance our natural empathic natures with cold hard facts. As a result, if you conducted a Meyers-Briggs test on 100 women, I bet those the conservative women would either be moderate Ts/Fs (Thinking/Feeling) while liberal women are usually solid Fs and no T traits/points at all.
[109]
Chekote is a man!!!
Is that being funny, eph, or revealing something not known around here?
True, but the teen age sex observation could still stick!
[110]
Good assessment, Judy, of Chekote. If she is a man, she was able to carry off being a confrontational female very well.
[111]
I was just strolling by, looking for a place where I am not banned. Is this a Chek free zone by any chance?
[112]
revealing something not known around here
[113]
knova! hahahahaha
[114]
Apparently Chekote decided she had enough fights with everyone at BJG and moved on. I’m sure Yahoo is crushed because they really had a thing going and, by her own admission, Chekote is hotter than Sraah.
She was active for a brief while at hotair.com. She started attacking Palin a few weeks back and really, really took a pounding. Everyone was piling on.
Apparently she is splitting her time between the hedgehog report and David Frum’s new minority. She fits in perfectly at new minority, where most everyone is a liberal or a RINO.
[115]
PG,
The positive regardless of the outcome is that whoever fills the seat by whatever means, will be ‘the junior Senator from Mass.’
[116]
You guys want a real laugh?
GOOGLE “CHEKOTE ABORTION”
[117]
What do you think INC .. is Che male or female… regardless of which he/she is a very confused and unhappy person. I could believe she/he was a Soros employee. I made that claim many times. I just tired of arguing with her.
[118]
knova, yes it is.
So where you from? locale wise.
[119]
Perhaps EPH is CHEKOTE!!!!
[120]
I agree with your assessment, Judy.
[121]
Or Lord Eph… can I guess that there are at least 1,000,000 references?
[122]
eph – I have read Atlas Shrugged 5 times, The Fountainhead at least 3, We the Living, the Virtue of Selfishness and Philosophy, Who Needs It several years ago. I have an actual original copy of Ayn Rands obituary from the NY Times in my copy of AS.
Given what you know about me from other places am I going to be conservative or libertarian enough for here?
[123]
JUDY,
I agree 100% with you that he/she is a Soros/KOS plant – that is hell bend on dividing and thus crushing the GOP along social issues.
[124]
118 – In one of the VA exburbs of DC.
[125]
121. hahahaha. YES. hahahaha
then google “Chekote Palin” for even more laughs
[126]
I also believe Chekote was a woman. Stated so many times and I never really saw reason to question it. When she first showed up on PP she was a rabid Giuliani supporter — supporting him because he was pro-abortion and had Italian heritage. Of course, this is the Internet and we can never be really sure. Can we?
[127]
On the whole we are Constitutionalists around here. How we get there is the issue.
[128]
“Given what you know about me from other places am I going to be conservative or libertarian enough for here?”
I think you will love it hear knova. The posts move much faster here, but everyone seems friendly. I’m going to stay for a while thats for sure. And yes, I think your political philosophy would fit in here too. You can give and take with the best of them.
[129]
Chek is a chick.
[130]
“Of course, this is the Internet and we can never be really sure. Can we?”
NO
[131]
Welcome to the board, knova.
[132]
LOL… only in the 1,000s … but that was a .06 second search…LOL
[133]
ROFLMAO
[134]
mpt! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
My eyesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!1
[135]
“On the whole we are Constitutionalists around here.”
We are pretty much on the same page there.
[136]
judy,
Dont get me wrong. i understand people who are not fully behind Sara Palin. Some of there concerns are valid. But chekote was obsessed with hating here!! So either chek is a ugly woman or a gay man.
[137]
Thanks Mary.
[138]
knova,
I got banned from the HHR last night. Basically I had enough and went nuts. Self inflicted wound. But I could care less. That place is out of control.
[139]
JustMary
Chek is a chick.
For some reason…. Caution: RWY content warning.
[140]
So either chek is a ugly woman or a gay man”~~EPH
see link in post 107
[141]
138 – That is kind of a regular thing for you isn’t it? I can post from my office and BB but not home. Chek did ask for me to be unbanned, which was sweet of her.
[142]
Gross! Was that a real bird?
[143]
This site has grown a lot today.
HHR’s loss is our gain.
[144]
I think Chek is a woman’s libbers type of woman — hard on the outside and hurting on the inside.
[145]
If Chekote is not a chick then he is a gay man who assumes the traditional female role. She was far to jealous/envious of the other females who post here and over at PP and spent too much time playing coy with the males whenever someone would bash her about the head and shoulders. But then again, it was so exaggerated at times that I thought she/he had to be a putting on an act by thinking that playing a helpless was the way a woman behaved. I don’t know any women under the age of 60 who act the way she/he did. (think Scarlet O’Hara warming up to Frank Kennedy, Ashley Wilkes, or Rhett Butler to get something she wants.) ummm.. maybe Eph has a point. Chekote is a total fraud — and a really bad actor.
[146]
She’s a child of the ’60’s.
rwy’s description of her still is unmatched: she’s a liberal who doesn’t want to pay her taxes.
[147]
JM, I think so.
By the way, at sometime in the future we might want to talk about an offsite comment archive. I still think that was PP’s problem towards the end.
[148]
141 knova,
Yes but this time I dont care. That place stinks to high heaven
[149]
phineas gage
rwy’s description of her still is unmatched: she’s a liberal who doesn’t want to pay her taxes.
Aaaaah. a Geithner Groupie.
[150]
does the dead bird symbolize a fetus?

“Aaaaah. a Geithner Groupie.”
No, a Noonan nitwit
[152]
Eph,
That posting would be right about where Chek would launch into a Intrauterine tirade with Palin overtones….
[153]
I sent you an email dd.
[154]
145 Judy,
A total fraud who is a volunteer for KOS.
[155]
Intrauterine tirade
[156]
Well — all I can say is that I am glad Che is on permanent moderation… I tired of dealing with her/his nonsense.
[157]
Chekote is a woman.
She is also fundamentally dishonest and selfish to the point of being emotionally disturbed. She had no conscience at all.
She could look at an aborted fetus and pass it off, but she coddled little orphaned bunnies found around the house. She was a feminist in the worst sense.
It’s about time we broomed her. She was no longer contributing anything to the debate.
[158]
Post numbers are starting over every column. Whyzat?
[159]
I’m still going with the compulsive lying KOS plant.
[160]
Darn that Bush!
Actually, I have no idea. Drdog wrote the code for it.
[161]
I’m still going with the compulsive lying KOS plant.
You can’t be too far off. You got the compulsive liar part right. And you’re at worst 50/50 on the Kos plant thing, too.
She has laid some real nasty here.
[162]
Sounds like Chekmiester caused more drama at HHR, lol glad I took yesterday evening off from the web, I could sense it coming after the friday night skirmish, course you all did ask for it by feeding her eph.
