Sarah Palin Is ‘This Close’ To Doing Face-Painting For Tips At Your Next Garage Sale [View all]

Under normal circumstances I don’t like doing back-to-back posts on Princess Dumbass of the Northwoods (a trademark of Charles Pierce Worldwide Industries) but I fear that her time amongst the C-list glitterati draws nigh. Click-hungry headline writers and bloggers hardest hit.

According to Robert Costa, writing at the WaPo, Sarah Palin isn’t exactly packing them in up to the rafters these days as her schtick is growing as old and tired as Sarah Palin her own bad self. Before heading off to the NRA convention where she threw pre-chewed red meat to America’s premier terrorist organization (sorry KKK – how’s that rebranding going?), Palin popped into Iowa during her ‘Heels On, Gloves Off’ Tea Party lady-endorsement tour and, even in Iowa – which is the Venice of butter sculpture - people still found something better to do with their time:

Three people held signs and, while Palin was received warmly, only about 50 people stayed after to shake her hand on the rope line as Shania Twain’s “She’s Not Just a Pretty Face” blared from the speakers.

Craig Robinson, a former political director for the Iowa GOP, said that it was Palin’s smallest in-state crowd ever. Organizers blamed heavy rain.

That beats the hell out of Wasilla any day of the week, month, or year. If some of that sweet PAC money actually trickles out to a candidate or two, well, it’s the cost of doing business and, according to the Washington Post and the AJC, business is pretty damn good for PAC grifters, big and small:
