Sarah Palin invited to speak at CPAC. Just when you thought the Republicans could NOT get more desperate.

Palin's last appearance on Fox News before they fired for being too stupid and not hot enough to compensate for it anymore.

The American Conservative Union (ACU) today announced former Vice Presidential Candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will address CPAC 2013 – the 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference. America’s largest gathering of conservative leaders and activists will be held Thursday, March 14 – Saturday, March 16, 2013.“We are pleased to again welcome Governor Sarah Palin to CPAC in March,” said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. “Governor Palin electrified the crowd in 2012 and we are thrilled to welcome her back this year.” 

Sarah Palin was the 2008 Vice Presidential Nominee and is the former Governor of Alaska. Governor Palin first made history on Dec. 4, 2006 when sworn in as the 11th and first female governor of Alaska. In August 2008, Senator John McCain selected Governor Palin to join him as his running mate in his historic presidential campaign. Governor Palin is the first woman to run on the Republican Party’s presidential ticket. 

Since her vice presidential run and governorship, Sarah Palin has remained one of the leading conservative voices in the nation and has authored one of the most successful non-fiction books of all time, Going Rogue, An American Life. She has consistently focused attention on dozens of national races that have changed the face of Congress and continues the fight to bring commonsense conservatives to public office.

God they used her entire mythological bio straight from the pen of her publicist/ghostwriter/Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme fetcher.

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Of COURSE Palin is not going away for good. Where is the money in that?

However  it appears that CPAC is using her mostly as an attention getting sideshow act rather than a policy setting performer in the main tent. Palin, much like the bearded lady and JoJo the Dogface Boy, is good for drawing the gawkers but I seriously doubt they want her name assigned to any serious policy debates or strategy sessions.

However it looks like this convention is taking the "let's throw something at the wall and see what sticks" approach literally, as they have invited just about EVERYBODY even remotely linked to Republicans, conservationism, or the Teabaggers to this gathering.

Here take a look:

Previously announced confirmed featured speakers include: U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, former U.S. Representative Artur Davis, Heritage Foundation President-Elect Jim DeMint, Heritage Foundation President Dr. Edwin Feulner, ACU Board Member Carly Fiorina, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, NRA President and ACU Board Member David Keene, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, U.S. Senator Mike Lee, U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, Radio Host and Breitbart.tv Editor in Chief Larry O’Connor, U.S. Senator Rand Paul, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, U.S. Representative Paul Ryan, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, U.S. Representative and Republican Study Committee Chairman Steve Scalise, Eagle Forum Founder Phyllis Schlafly, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey, former U.S. Representative Allen West, U.S. Representative Ann Wagner, and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

I think the only names missing are members of the Bush Administration, Rush Limbaugh, and the propaganda spinners over at Fox News. 

Gee I'm almost surprised they did not invite abstinence only spokes model Bristol Palin and "Wide Stance" advocate Larry Craig to the party. Maybe their invitations are lost in the mail.
