In the Saturday issue of the S-R, an advertisement said that local residents can begin lining up outside the garden entrance at Coeur d’Alene’s Fred Meyer to have Sarah Palin sign copies of her book, “Going Rogue,” at 11 p.m. Wednesday. The book signing begins 13 hours later, from noon to 3 p.m. Thursday. The ad goes on to say that 700 wristbands will be handed out for the event, guaranteeing a signature by former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The ad goes on to encourage that Palin fans take public transporation, carpool or be dropped off, due to limited parking.

Question: Do you plan to line up at 11 o’clock Wednesday night to guarantee that you meeting Sarah Palin and have her sign your copy of her book?

Um, no. I just hope Kage_Mann didn’t freeze to death waiting in line.

Dave, you’re slippin. Your Palin quota is down. It’s almost noon and you’ve only got this and a single teabagger post. ;-)

I think I’ll get bombed and go mock these people, just for kicks.

Oooo, oo, oo. Too far to drive or I’d ask to join you. Take a camera. I really like it when they ‘articulate’ their reasons for supporting her.

Dave how goes the struggle for some face time?

OTV - you should make a bunch of signs that say “I can see X from here.” (replacing X with things like China, Poland, Brazil, Taco Bell, your ego, etc.)

Then see if you can convince the Palinists to hold them.

**Then see if you can convince the Palinists to hold them.**

That shouldn’t be to much of a problem Nic.

So long as OTV doesn’t use crayons or draw any pictures on the signs.

So many good ideas…possibilities. But I kid. In reality, I’ll just stay home where it’s toasty and avoid the whole messarooni. Ms. Palin and her autograph seekers aren’t really worth my dramatic efforts.

Although, another one of my ideas was to line up all the drag queens over in Spokane (there are quite a few) and have them show up in Palin drag to see what chaos ensues. You know any drag queen worth her muster would be obnoxious enough to make sure her and her pals would make the headlines the next day, overshadowing anything about Palin herself…

@ Sis re: “Dave, you’re slippin. Your Palin quota is down.”

The Palin Quota is likely to go way down after Palin’s visit to Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint this week.

“You know any drag queen worth her muster would be obnoxious enough to make sure her and her pals would make the headlines the next day,”—YEEEEEESSSSSS! Make it happen. Turn it into a fundraiser for a literacy program.

Like I said, if I was the only one in line and it took 5 minutes or so, I would love to meet her. Will I read her book someday, of course. Most of you can’t stand her, so why argue?

I’m not advocating anything here, but there *will* be plenty of tomatoes available at the CDA Fred Meyer…

Fox News reports:

A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported.

Fred Meyer’s sells shoes too.
