No, it’s not a breakfast cereal. It’s what she keeps doing:Organizers of an Anchorage event that has been billing Sarah Palin for weeks as a star speaker were left scrambling Wednesday after learning that the former governor won’t be there for tonight’s event and claims to have never been asked.It would be at least the fourth time in recent months that an anticipated Palin speech has fallen through after Palin and her camp disputed they had ever confirmed it. That includes the brouhaha over whether she’d speak at the annual congressional Republican fundraising dinner in Washington, D.C., this summer. (Emphasis mine)
To be clear, this event is an anti-abortion rally, the sort of place where you’d expect her to turn up and wave her grandbaby in the air:
Alaska Family Council President Jim Minnery said it was news to him when a reporter told him that Stapleton was saying Palin had no knowledge of the speech, which his group has been promoting. He said organizers have been talking to Palin “contacts” for weeks about it. (Emphasis mine)
The only reliable thing about Sarah is her weekly, ghost-written Facebook screed; you can count on the trifecta every time. But either she’s sabotaging her own credibility with the base by flaking out of every event, or she’s saddled with utterly incompetent staff. Either way, a hilarious 2012 looms. Will Sarah Palin flake out on running for president?
