While many of the most conservative politicians in the country have now weaseled out of next week's National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, the headliner is still planning to show up. You have to wonder if they backed out in fear of being blown our of the water by the Ex-Governor.
Sarah Palin told Fox News on Thursday that, unlike Reps. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), she still intends to speak at the convention, despite the growing controversy over the obscure for-profit entity running the event. Let's face it folks...this little to-do over the sponsor of the massive tea-party gives them a chance to run for the hills.
"Oh, you betcha I'm going to be there," Palin told Greta Van Susteren. "I'm going to speak there because there are people traveling from many miles away to hear what that tea party movement is all about and what that message is that should be received by our politicians in Washington. I'm honored to get to be there."
Citizen Palin will receive $100,000 to deliver the keynote address at the conference. Her fee, she said, "go right back into the cause" as donations "to people and to events, those things that I believe in that will help perpetuate the message, the message being, Government, you have constitutional limits. You better start abiding by them."
