Palin to Speak at Gridiron Dinner
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be the Republican speaker at the Gridiron Club's Winter Dinner on Dec. 5, the club announced Friday.
Gridiron Club President Dick Cooper told club members earlier this afternoon that Palin accepted an invitation to speak at the black-tie affair, according to a member of the club's executive committee.
Meg Stapleton, a spokeswoman for Palin, confirmed that Palin planned to address the dinner in an e-mail to POLITICO: "The Governor was honored to accept the invitation."
Also speaking at the dinner will be Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), whom the club invited to represent his party at the event.

Wouldn't it be embarassing if Sarah Palin and Barney Frank were to show up at the Gridiron dinner wearing the exact same dress?!!?

Ha!!
Funny.

They say fear and hatred of gays often stem from someone's OWN latent homosexuality and insecurity. Hmmmmmm....

There is an anger rising in this county. I hope Sarah can capitalize on it. The Democrats passed the health care bill with just one Republican voting for it. The anger of passing this partisen bill by the Democrats is going to turn the 2010 election into a landslide for Republicans. Tea Party goers should turn their anger on the Pelosi,Frank,Reid and Rasngel liberal Democrats and help defeat them in 2010. NO MORE SAFE DISTRICTS!!!

Your website is full of grammatical and punctuation errors! How legitimate can you be if you can't write properly! No wonder you want someone like Sarah to run the country. You are as dumb as she is.

Frank's lies vs. Palin's truths.
-
Truth wins.
CommonSense4u2
wow thats interesting that some of you are wondering whom would take who in a debate and arguement... Barney Frank vs Sarah Palin... i would not like to see that debate... Frank would slaughter poor Palin. He is more up to date on issues and read facts wheras Palin has been known to just fumble and lose focus and just out right show she was ill informed... which is why the libs are hoping that they try to push her for president in 2012... she is their easiest target.
tx4palin
i keep saying that is one thing liberals and conservatives agree on- they both want palin to run. i just cant figure out why the dems spend all their time attacking her if they want her to win. seems like they would go after the real favs of the republican elites like romney and pawlenty. the only repubs who want palin are the rank and file.
capt chaos
Yeah....OK....sure. Keep thinking that
Obama Fan
Is she actually going ? She has a history of going rogue and ducking out on speaking engagements.
tx4palin
can youi name one that she has accepted that she ducked out on- that is what I thought another loony liberal fantasy
Roger In Miami
Palin vs Frank.
So now it begins. This will be the first test for her. She's going to take a few hits here but let's see if she's got what it takes to play with the big boys.
Not that Barney is one of the big boys,,,,,, but he is vicious, smart,, and a well connected Lib.
Lotto Dan NY
I just hope he doesn't try to hit her with his purse.
polly
Roger it will be interesting. Barney Frank is a liar and Sarah Palin speaks the truth. Truth wins everytime. Vote Barney Frank out of office Tea Party goers.
Roger In Miami
You make a point Polly. But for many who don't follow the political scene, perception is their reality. What that means is telling the truth isn't enough.
You've got to be able to demonstrate to the folks that you're telling them the truth and that your solutions are the right ones for them.
I believe she's up to the task but then,, I was wrong about Fred Thompson too.
So I guess we'll just have to let this play out and see where it goes.

rogue, Tie Everything Address
A very curious mix of speakers. I am sure Palin will get paid appropriately but might have Frank slipped some money under the table to get the invite? Just speculating. Frank is no up and coming anything, except maybe to the big house, and I do not refer a DC location. Pelosi would have been the better counter to Palin. At least Pelosi has enough balls, worn around the neck, to remain blinded by more power. They are so big most of the time, she can only look up.

Whether he speaks before or after, I can hear his tongued tied utterances blowing out his end of the evening with his unique brand of clever side-winding while being gaga eyed attached to the other end . It will be a skit. He would be wise to go with three ties. One around the neck for his Master to jerk. One around his mouth to keep him from sounding like a jerk. One around the eyes to... well you likely get it.

Will Palin don a black-tie too? It really is not her style, not to be all bound up by strings, especially around the neck. She has a knack for being foot loose and fancy free, the rogue that she is, the rogue that we need. Try as you might, ya just cannot put a leash on her. For some, that is a fearful prospect.

I think Sarah Palin is real. She’s an outsider, without official power, yet she influences the nation. She’s on the individual’s side, the side of the Constitution, the side against Big Government.

Malaka ,What do you know ,dummy , you also thought that deeds and corzine would win. Wrong again ! Palin2012 !
Malaka
The polls showed Mr. Deeds would lose by a landslide. Also, Mr. Corzine is extremely unpopular, given his background as the former Chair of Goldman Sachs, which is as popular nowadays as being an employee of ACORN to Fox "News" viewers. Yes, this means you are stupid.
