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 GOP 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. "Foreign" as in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Austin...

"In what respect, Charlie?"

3. I think, since she walked off the job, she doesn't get to use the courtesy title. nt

4. The term governor should be reserved for those who complete their terms

When you quit 1/2 way through your 1st term you are entitled to the titled "quitter". She forfeited her right to be called governor because she didn't fulfill the oath she made.

I would think that the guidelines were a mistake. Mall of America is located in a heavily Democratic area of Minnesota and is highly dependent on tourism and world travelers for their revenue stream as it is just a short light-rail ride from the international airport. It's a really really stupid release if it came from them. I'm guessing one of their own employees went rogue.

And telling the reporters what to call her will go over really big here. I'm pretty sure the free press still applies even in a state where its red necks elected Michele Bachman.

6. Foreign to her is anything south of the Alaska border.

7. Quick, somebody tell Carly in CA...

...she's all pushed out of shape that Senator Boxer wants to be called Senator.

I'm sure...
