Gaffe-O-Rama! Sarah Palin to derail Tory conference?

You think Daniel “scrap the NHS” Hannan is unhinged? It has emerged that David Cameron may be more or less obligated to entertain a divisive foreign figure aligned with the nutjob right of his own party. That’s right, Sarah Palin is lining up a trip to the UK! Her Facebook note entitiled “Concerning a possible trip to the United Kingdom” reads:

Following an article in a British publication on Sunday [Daily Mail article here], I’ve received questions about a possible trip to the United Kingdom. I have received an invitation for a visit to London, and part of that invitation included the offer of arranging a meeting between myself and one of my political heroines, the “Iron Lady,” Margaret Thatcher. I would love to meet her and hope I’ll be able to arrange the trip in the future.

Guido reports that Palin may attend Conservative Party conference in the autumn, with Nick Clegg’s rumoured appearance scrapped to make way for the former Alaskan governor. The possibility of Palin touring the Freedom Zone fringe with Messrs Hannan and Carswell trailing in her wake raises the prospect of a Tory Gaffe-O-Rama on par with Boris Johnson’s freelancing at conference last year.

This can’t fail to entertain.

Sarah Palin, quitter.

Sarah PalinScrapbook is a bit late onto this one but it appears the ‘Thriller from Wasilla’ can’t even muster dignity when leaving for a front line hiatus:

“It is because I love Alaska this much, Sir, that I feel it is my duty to avoid the unproductive, typical, politics as usual, lame duck session in one’s last year in office.” — Sarah Palin

Tranlation: I am spitting in the face of Alaskan voters and quitting fifteen months before my term ends to make massive pile of cash. And who is taking over in the name of freedom and democracy?  Former oil and gas lobbyist, Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell!  In the words of John Stewart:

So that’s the difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom: pitbulls don’t quit and then try and pretend their quitting’s not quitting!

Scrapbook prays, for the sake of all things LOL, that we haven’t seen the last of Sarah Louise Palin.
