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."
Frankly I'd like to see an English only revival. It's either that or make Spanish our official language.

Thank goodness your post wasn't serious. Last thing we need is a super conservative running this country. Bush ran us down the drain, Palin would just add more crap onto the pile, burying us in excrement.
