Spend $200 to meet Sarah Palin on 9/11

How much money are you making this 9/11? Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are probably earning a lot more. Tickets for their special show in Alaska (which I am guessing are still available, because most of the 300 people in Alaska are surely sick of Sarah Palin, right?) are on sale for between $73 and $225.

To be fair, the $225 tickets include a "meet & greet." The most expensive ticket without the "meet & greet" is $130, which means that meeting Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck is worth precisely $95, according to the Free Market.

Where will this money go? To the troops? Probably not, but let's not rule that one out, in case these two again decide to use The Troops to insulate themselves from criticisms for their utter shamelessness.

According to Sarah Palin's unyoked id/ghost-Tweeter:

"We can count on Glenn to make the night interesting and inspiring, and I can think of no better way to commemorate 9/11 than to gather with patriots who will 'never forget.' Hope to see you there!"

"Never forget," Americans. "Never forget" the "horrors" of that "day."

You may think a weeping scam artist and a failed stunt candidate "commemorating" an awful, tragic event that has nothing to do with them is annoying enough, even before it involves ripping off marks, but you have probably "forgotten" how you felt that day, before you had ever even heard of either of these two depraved grifters.

Excerpt:

But in addition to using September 11th as a launching pad to score political points, the right is now using the day to rake in cash. A sampling of the 9/11 profiteers:

– This weekend, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are hosting a rally in Anchorage, Alaska to mark the anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Ticket prices range from $73.75 per person (including taxes and fees) to a high of $225. As the Hill newspaper reports, “there was no indication as to whom or what the proceeds will go.”

– Disgraced lobbyist Ralph Reed is using his consulting firm Century Strategies to host a “Faith and Freedom Conference and Strategy Briefing” with an assortment of conservatives, including Brent Bozell, Tony Perkins, Rich Lowry, Tucker Carlson, Grover Norquist, Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA), Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA), Erick Erickson, and others. The event is on September 10th-11th, and costs $95 for early registration.

– Newt Gingrich is using the September 11th anniversary to unveil a new movie called “America At Risk,” which Gingrich says will drive the “national dialogue” about President Obama’s failure to address the rise of “Radical Islam” and its attempt to impose Sharia law on the United States. Gingrich’s website notes that the public can “pre-order your copy now for just $19.95 plus $4 shipping.”

14. Grifters Incorporated

Everything is about money.

[msu2ba]

15. Either of them.....

...would sit on the target in a dunking tank for that kind of money. Now that might tempt me! :evilgrin:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

16. Wasn't there supposed to be a big announcement at this rally?

People were speculating she was going to announce her 2012 run.

[applegrove]

17. Neither Palin nor Beck existed during 9/11. They both obviously want to wrap themselves around

that event and the trauma it caused Americans en masse.

[HopeHoops]

18. It might be worth $225 if I loaded up on beans and cabbage and anything else that makes you fart.

It might take three days of eating and a lot of sphincter control to contain the "presentation", but I could see the value in the expenditure.
:evilgrin:

[BlueJazz]

20. LOL!

[bullwinkle428]

19. I love how some were freaking out over the possibility that this was

going to be a declaration on the part of these two morons to run for Pres. and VP for 2012!!

Did anyone really think...seriously, that this was going to be anything but a giant GRIFT-A-PALOOZA?

[spanone]

21. 911 is just a money teat for these sick fucks

[MattyGroves]

22. The pricing alone effectively keeps their "supposed" base from being able to attend

To hear the tea-baggers tell it, they're just "regular folk" trying to make it through these difficult economic times.

I can tell you right now, anyone who can afford to drop the minimum $73/person price plus associated travel and food costs to attend this thing is not suffering by any stretch of the imagination.

I'd be amazed if they allow any network outside of FOX News film the thing because unedited coverage will blow the lid off who really makes up the tea party supporters.

[Blue Owl]

23. NEVER FORGET that Sarah Palin needs a new pair of shoes

You have zero class, zero dignity, and zero soul, Sarah Palin.

[HughBeaumont]

24. Inappropriate doesn't BEGIN to describe this "event".

The 9/11 widows thank you, SarUH and Glenn BecKKK. So do the dead that George W. Bewsh climbed up on top of.

[Stevenmarc]

25. I'm surprised she didn't charge $911

[MadMaddie]

26. Wonder how long it will be until the downsize the venue due

to poor ticket sales? :shrug:

[gratuitous]

27. What a bargain! I'd consider it

Herewith the transcript of the meeting and greeting:

gratuitous: I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. Palin. {FART}

Mrs. Palin: Ewwwww.

Handler: How DARE you fart before Governor Palin?! {Begins hustling off gratuitous}

gratuitous: I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was her turn!

[BrklynLiberal]

28. If one looked up GRIFTER in the dictionary, I believe her picture would be there.
