Sarah Palin Will Not Speak At Republican Convention

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on August 12, 2012 · Flag

It's official: Sarah Palin will not be one of the speakers at the upcoming Republican convention in Tampa. That's not really a big surprise. What is at least somewhat surprising is that she made the announcement on BFF Greta Van Susteren's blog. UPDATED: It doesn't look like she'll be doing any campaigning with the candidates, either.

YOU SEE IT FIRST RIGHT HERE, Van Susteren wrote in her headline. The rest of the post was an excerpt from Palin's statement:

...This year is a good opportunity for other voices to speak at the convention and I’m excited to hear them. As I’ve repeatedly said, I support Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in their efforts to replace President Obama at the ballot box, and I intend to focus on grassroots efforts to rally Independents and the GOP base to elect Senate and House members so a wise Congress is ready to work with our new President to get our country back on the right path...

She'll be working on "grassroots efforts?" Sounds to me like neither Romney nor Ryan want to make any appearances with her.

UPDATE: My suspicions about Palin not appearing with Romney or Ryan were confirmed by this interview she did earlier today on Fox:

At about 5:40, she's asked by host Shannon Bream about her upcoming participation in the Romney campaign. Palin said:

You know what? I think, Shannon, it's important that people remember that this is a time, though, for maybe some new voices, new faces, new energy out there to really engage with the base, and with independents and my mission has been to help and not to hurt and sometimes 'to help' means you do step back, you step away and independently work for that enthusiasm that's needed for people to show up at the polls in November and elect a new president and allow in the meantime some more, I guess, conventional measures in a campaign based on other people's voices being heard.

Poor widdle Sarah — still smarting over lil’ dick Cheney calling her selection as running mate “a mistake” . . .

I sure hope that Bristol and Levi are still going to Tampa. With Todd off playing GI Joe on yet another Palin appearance on “reality” TV, the happy couple should go in a repeat of their command performance in Minneapolis. I hear Levi needs another new suit anyway.

The Whore of Babble-On begins to fade from the limelight. Can’t come soon enough.

No shock to me. I believe that Romney is still fuming over the day he announced that he was running the Sarah Palin “Look At Me” tour bus pulls up and steals some of Mitts lime light.

Faith, family, fealty to friends, fortitude in adversity: These are the four firm foundation stones upon which Gov. Sarah Palin has built an excellent life of public service. Without her prominent presence, the Republican Convention shrivels to a boring snooze-fest and a prelude to ignominous defeat by the Marxist/media mob.

You think the GOPers decided not to invite the Quitta from Wasilla because she forgot she wasn’t supposed to charge a speaking fee?

Note to Palin
