Speaking as an Alaskan, Sarah Palin is an utter embarrassment for most thinking Alaskans.
Palin's bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells Page Six: "The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot."
Many big lecture venues are subscription series, "and they don't want to tick people off," said our source. "Palin is polarizing, and some subscribers might cancel if she's on the lineup." Other lecture buyers are universities, which have a leftist slant, and corporations, which dislike controversy.
"Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups -- unless they are interested in moose hunting," said our insider. "What does she have to say? She can't even describe what she reads."

Your last statement is either insincere, or evidense of blindness. As pointed out, were she as irrelevant as you claim, she would be encouraged or ignored by the Left. Palin Derangement Syndrome would never have risen, were she not a threat to the Left and the RINO's.

One final point, notice how the Left posters on this thread emphasize that Palin is a woman. This comes from the political position that claims to own the 'content of character' high-ground, but is the FIRST to categorize according to race, sex, etc.

Republicans must be #ting their pants over Obama, then.
Or are you somehow suggesting this is a phenomenon limited exclusively to Palin?
That his politics of thuggery and growing socialism are feared would be a correct statement.

I did not make a single reference to her sex as being a factor in her abilities as a politician.
Note, "how the Left posters on this thread...", so, it isn't all about you.
Have a nice day.

Don't think she is a serious threat? Just imagine if she could mount an presidential bid as an Independent candidate with the likes of Newt Gengritch or Sean Hannity
