The stupid is strong in this group.  :rotf:

Sarah Palin cancels convention appearances
 Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 05:04 PM by spotbird
C-CPAN just interviewed someone affiliated with the McCain campaign about why Palin won't be attending two events on her schedule tonight. The campaign aid said there wasn't much planned for Palin, so the C-CPAN guy mentioned a Right-to-Birth event tonight where Palin was supposed to receive an award. The Campaign guy didn't have an answer for why Palin canceled, he just said she is busy or something non-responsive.

Where is Sarah Palin? Why doesn't she want to appear in public?

Edit:

I posted this comment below, but I wanted it to get more exposure:

Charles Mahtesinwas the person I thought was from the campaign, apparently he is with Politico, which makes his affiliation with McCain unofficial.

He said there wasn't much on her schedule in the first place, but she also may have canceled an event with Politico. (On edit: Mahtesin later hedged and said he didn't know when, where, or whether Palin would attend the Politico event, only that she had canceled other events on her schedule. Someone doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him.).

The official reasons are that she is preparing for her speech and these events were scheduled before she was tapped.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The DUmp is just pissed that they didn't get to use the "Look at the Repukes having their convention while a Hurricane is going on" posts.

Damned if we do and damned if we don't!
