Palin book tour host to foreign press: Stay away
:rofl: "Inadvertently distributed", but no denial from the Palinites. Like the Mall of America just made the whole thing up. I love it.

Minn. mall later apologizes for allowing ‘only English speaking’ reporters

SPRINGFIELD, Missouri - She's no longer the chief executive of Alaska, but Sarah Palin should still be called "governor." And in English only, please.

That was the message sent out by officials at the Mall of America this week, who told reporters planning to cover the Minneapolis-area stop on Palin's "Going Rogue" book tour they must address the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate by her former title. The guidelines also banned foreign reporters, allowing "only English speaking press."

Mall officials said the guidelines were a mistake, and apologized Wednesday to Palin for the mix up, which they called "an internal miscommunication" that was "inadvertently distributed."

"That should never have been in any kind of press release," said Tina Andreadis, a publicist for publisher HarperCollins in New York, who added foreign reporters would be welcome at Palin's Mall of America stop.

"That's not the message the governor wants to send out," she said.

2. "That's not the message the governor wants to send out," she said.
"Actually it IS the message she wants to send out, she just doesn't want to get caught sending it out" stated another spokesperson who had just had one of those bizarre spells put on them where they could not lie...

3. Aw, man, she's coming here?
Shit. Doesn't she know that Bachmann's district is a bit further north?



Well, on the bright side maybe she'll think the giant Ikea across the street is, in fact, the MoA and get lost in the ball pit.

4. It would be just delightful to see her shish k bobbed
In a presidential race. Her opponents would simply not know where to start with the wealth of stupid comments and acts she has provided them.

And call her governor??? Don't you actually have to complete one term to be able to keep that title afterward?
