Sarah: Self Proclaimed Rogue!

Sarah Palin continues the Bush Era behaviorism of operating in an animal farm atmosphere of police state secrecy. Hand picked audiences that will not disagree with what is spoken, allowing no public record of what was said, one of Cheney's favorite techniques.

However, I find it gratifying that she demonstrated a shred of honesty in describing herself as a "rogue" in the title of her new book "Going Rogue: An American Life."

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines rogue as:

Main Entry: ¹rogue
Pronunciation: \ˈrōg\

Function: noun

Etymology: origin unknown

Date: 1561

1 : vagrant, tramp
2 : a dishonest or worthless person : scoundrel

So which definition do you find most accurately defines her; number 1 or number 2?

Palin’s Right to Life Speech in Wisconsin: No Strollers, No Car Seats?

November 6, 2009

Sarah Palin spoke this evening at the Wisconsin Right to Life event at the Wisconsin Exposition Center State Fair Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be speaking at an event hosted by the group Wisconsin Right to Life this evening.

It is a closed event – which generally means no press. Amid apparent worries that the ex-governor’s words will be aired publicly despite that restriction, however, Wisconsin Right to Life and/or Palin’s handlers are taking the notion of “closed” to a whole new level.

Check out this list of prohibited items at the event, which was spotted by CBS News Political Director Steve Chaggaris. All bags, by the way, “will be searched”:

• No exit and re-entry allowed
• No cell phones
• No recording devices
• No video or still cameras
• No laptops
• No photos or recording allowed
• No literature distribution
• No posters or banners
• No strollers or car seats
• No carry-in food or beverages

Tickets for the event at the Wisconsin Exposition Center outside of Milwaukee, which go for $30, appear to still be available.

The restrictions are “bizarre,” according to Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate.

“You know, for someone who claims to be a rogue and isn’t afraid of what other people think it really is sort of hypocritical to not let the media, the press cover your event.”
