(CNN) - If you've ever wanted to eat dinner with Sarah Palin, now's your chance.

With bids starting at $25,000, eBay is auctioning off a dinner for five with the former Alaska governor and her husband, Todd. The proceeds will go to "Ride 2 Recovery," a charity that provides wounded veterans with bicycles and organized rides to help in their mental and physical recovery.

"The Governor is excited to have been asked to honor our nation's veterans in this way," said Palin spokesman Meg Stapleton.

The auction opens on Tuesday and will last for ten days. Also up for grabs: Lunch with Karl Rove. Bidding on a meal with the former Bush presidential adviser starts at $7,500.

I wonder: Does the cost include a barf-bag?

1. Comments following the article were interesting, this one is the winner:

Had I the funds marked specifically for donation to this charity, I might bid just so I could have the opportunity to stand those hillbillies up.

2. Does it include any after dinner activities?

That thumping sound you just heard was my thing falling off and hitting the floor after mental images of that flooded into my head.

[question everything]

3. I think it was Bernard Shaw who said:

"now that we have established what you are, we can discuss the price."

4. Wouldn't it be great if there were no bids?

Just wishing....

5. wouldn't it be greater if it were someone setting her up, recorded the whole thing & was so good

at tricking the slow lady, that they got video footage of her being the hateful wackjob she is?

6. Is It Just a Mere Dinner? Or...

is there something extra at the end? *wink wink* ;)

7. Her handlers are making a dry run for political campaign fund raising dinners

She is in it to win it folks; the lady is a walking neon sign flashing on and off "I'm running for President."

It will be a slaughter. President Obama will have to use a parachute to drop the 'condolences for her loss' card down the hole she will be in come November 2012
