My 10,000th Post...What OTHER Topic Could it Be...lol?  

don't do yourself down annie. we all know that only 8,000 of your discussions were about the palindrome. i heard another story about her and i'll pass it on to you later

Congratulation on such an accomplishment. Yes Palin is very demanding about all she wants for her speech. She really owes thanks to McCain for selecting her as his VP Candidate. Hardly nobody would had know anything about her since shes was up in Alaska if it wasn't for McCain. I say she would probably still be Alaska Governor also if she didn't run as a VP Candidate. She pretty much caved under the pressure of all the limelight.

I could not let such momentous occasion go by without a response. As I am not a Palin fan, follower or even slightly interested in what she does so I normally do not respond to any discussions about her so to keep this response topic...

If you are nothing like Palin what is your claim to fame apart from Palin Bashing and Obama Number One Fan??

Congratulations Annie...and I think you made a wonderful choice for your 10,000th. post.

That certainly was a nifty little contract the Washington Speakers Bureau had drawn up and, I guess if folks are willing to pay rock star prices and give rock star perks to have Palin speak at their event, it's their right. But, no...the hockey mom left the building a looong time ago. I do have an issue with university officials refusing to disclose the financial details when foundation funds are being used so I'm glad it's being investigated.

It's sad because she and others accused Obama of acting like a "rock star" and here she is making demands that equal or better those of any musical diva or rock band. While I understand the need for someone so noticeable in public to be able to get from one point to another with as little interference as possible, but some of the other things seem overly demanding and petty (a "bendy" straw?????) And, of course, the questions in advance are typical of not only Palin, but other politicians so they can pick and choose (not that she knows the answers even when she has them in advance, as we all saw with her palm notes).

But, the investigation is not against her as much as the university's refusal to disclose the contract and its terms when they are required to as a state-run university. That is also problematic, so the question does arise about just who requested the "non-disclosure" clause and who approved it and why they would when they know the law forbids it. It is definitely an interesting situation.

I wanted to give you a good needed congratulate on your 10,000th post. Hard work should be celebrated, so here is to you, now I am going to try one of those smiley face things that I cannot stand right here

...Hi annie, Congratulations on you accomplishment, very impressive. Were you joking when you said you don't knoiw how to put the smiley facein your message? If you were not, all you do is go to the "my lot code" on the left side here and hit the title, the figures will appear and you place the cursor in the message, where you want to place the figure and hit the figure with the arrow.
Now Sarahlee, the money being paid is the problem for Jerry Brown, Needless to say he is no fan of Sarahlee I'm sure. But I think he will be fair. They say it's a fund raiser, hoping they say, to raise $200,000 or more. I will be watching for feedback from the students on substance. I think this is the first speech other than tea party events and Republican base events that she has given since the China speech where they walked out on her. I think they are having a problem booking her, as she does not know what the heck she is talking about. Notice she has taken to having someone dish out copy written about foreign countries and such, as if Sarahlee all of a sudden went out and learned what she is saying.
It's a comedy show. She has to make as much money as she can before the train crashes. The questions must be prescreened, because she cannot think on her feet, she as I said before and I do believe, has a cognitive reasoning deficiency. You ask her a question, she goes around in circles over and over, unable to arrive at a sensible conclusion. Reading fine, reasoning not a clue. I hope this event takes place. Her admirers see nothing wrong with her, but perhaps somewhere, her
hollowness will be exposed. Although Jeb Bush has said she doesn't know anything about the issues, Bill O'Reilly has said she needs to go to Public Affairs College or something, and over 50% of Republican women think she is unqualified to lead anything. Don't know about the men."o) But she rolls on, thanks to good old McCain. Take care. Keep on pushing!

Annie, I just wanted to post here to congratulate you on your five figure first.... As far as Sarah and her contract and the pre-screen clause are concrned, I guess it will teach the students at Cal State about censorship . Too bad we two Pennsylvanians can't somehow make sure those kids see they unsensored healthcare debate confrontation Arlen Spector had awhile ago with a teapartier. That was Democracy at it's heated, down and dirty best. Nobody paid anybody to draw up a contract or give a paid speaker pre approval of anything.

Wow that seems to be a big achievement in here. I am slowly targeting that level as well but I think I would need to post some more to reach that level.

Well comparing she has millions in legals fees to pay off she better hope her 15 minutes of fame lasts a little longer. I don't imagine she has got to keep alot of that money. Between taxes and the massive amounts of debt she had when she left office...I don't think it has gone far.
Still it is more money than I have ever seen or will probly ever see unless I win the lottery.
Personally I am tired of seeing and hearing from her.She has become a "mouth piece" for the RNC. There is nothing "rogue" about her. She sold out to the "party". Maybe she did it because she needed the money. maybe she likes the fame. Who knows. Either way...her time is limited.The masses will get sick of her. I don't see her getting a presidential run off of all this attention.
