Why wouldn't Sarah Palin be at an Oscar gifting suite?

The Fox News contributor and one-time vice presidental hopeful showed up to Silver Spoon's Oscar Suite in West Hollywood yesterday, benefiting the Red Cross.

But like all politicians, Sarah and her crew were hardly gems when the cameras weren't rolling...

"They were like locusts," says one vendor at the suite, regarding Palin and her large group of hangers-on. "She showed up with like 20 people, and they immediately swarmed the place taking everything!"

S.P. was accompanied by daughter Willow, grandson Tripp and a bunch of female handlers. A source at the suite said Palin was stopping in while daughter Bristol was doing a photo shoot nearby.

We're told Palin was quite the prima donna and that she insisted the suite be opened two hours early so she could come when no looky-loos would be around.

"They told us last minute to get here superearly for ," says our rightfully annoyed source. "Then, she wouldn't let anyone take her picture or do any interviews."

For those of you who think that's a standard request—uh, it's not, especially when you're getting thousands of dollars worth of free goods. Some of the products Palin picked up included Bloom facial products, which she told the vendor she needed for her under-eye area.

"She said she always needed to look her best because she's always in the press," says a Bloom spokesperson.

But don't think Sarah stopped there.

1. More proof she won't run in 2012

She knows she'll lose, and then she's out of the spotlight forever.

[roguevalley]

19. BWAHAHA! THEY DIDN'T TELL HER THE RULES CHANGED

AND SHE HAS TO PAY TAXES ON GIFT BAGS NOW! Everyone in hollywood has to pay taxes on this stuff now. Its the law. :) Maybe someone will tell the IRS... hm ...

[dysfunctional press]

2. she'd make exactly the kind of potus that most of this country deserves.

and i'm not sure who that's supposed to be more of an insult to...?

[Fridays Child]

3. Totally disgusting and...

...completely predictable. :puke:

[northofdenali]

4. Did she snag some red high heels?

Maybe a special needs child or two?

(The special needs community up here repudiates the crap out of Palin and her ilk. I know, I'm involved in Special Olympics.)

Did she grab another moose? She's never hunted one (she lied - but what's new about that?) so maybe there was one at the party!

Was she wearing one of her RNC-purchased outfits? She never did give 'em back.

I despise this poor excuse for a human.

Someone on HuffPo today suggested she'd wind up selling mattresses on late-night TV. I said we had someone with more intelligence to do that job, and he also got his start in Wasilla. Weird/funny as hell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eldbPUqhFZk

(He also has stores in Las Anchorage and Fairbanks.)

Sarah, we hardly knew ye.................... thank the goddess.

[madrchsod]

11. i wish i was as limber as that guy......

[northofdenali]

13. Isn't he great?

In his mid/late 70's, and that is not the only commercial. Just google "Mattress Ranch Alaska".

[BrklynLiberal]

5. Exactly what she and her entourage did during the 2008 campaign...

[bullwinkle428]

6. West Hollywood? Well, we know for sure that no REAL Americans live there!

:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

7. don't you usually scold people for posting more than 4 paragraphs?

[Canuckistanian]

8. Entitlement. It's the Republican way

Gimmme gimme gimme. Oh, and here's a quarter for your troubles.

[eShirl]

9. battle cry of the GOP: "Mine mine mine mine mine!!!!"

[DebbieCDC]

10. Once a grifter always a grifter

A leopard can't change its spots and neither can trash.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. Yep. Give the Palins a break.

They were penny-ante grifters grifting their free airplane tickets, phony per-diems and ill-gotten building supplies when Grampy McSame drove a dump truck full of money up to their front door. Whadda they supposed to do? Say no?

[aquart]

12. Who let her in?

[KingFlorez]

14. Is this for real?

How ignorant and greedy.

[my2sense]

15. Why am I NOT surprised

by this type of behavior? Just a continuation of what was done during the election.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. She's also shopping around a reality show

purportedly about life in Alaska -- as if she had a clue.

[saracat]

18. Why was she even invited in?She isn't part of the Film Academy!

What has she to do with the Oscars? Why doesn't she go do whatever it is she is supposed to do for FOX? So far she seems to collect a paycheck for nothing, as usual.

[leftynyc]

20. I thought the grifter

hated Hollywood. That woman is a no class piece of trash.

[onehandle]

21. Grifter trash.

And the morons love her for it.

[Blue Owl]

22. She truly hath opened the Fifth Seal of the Apocalypse

At least I sure feel plagued by these locusts.
