A wink does not a binding contract make
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit – V. Lombardi
The former Queen of Moosylvania is bailin’ again:
Just days after officially stepping down as governor of Alaska, former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is dropping out of an advertised speaking engagement in Simi Valley.
Palin was slated to attend on Aug. 8 the 50th anniversary gala of the Simi Valley Republican Women, Federated, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. It would have been her first public appearance since leaving office and had been widely reported by media outlets.
Pat Saraceno, the spokeswoman for the Simi Valley Republican Women, said they found out Thursday that Palin wasn’t coming.
“I had direct knowledge as of yesterday. I am not going to comment on how or from whom,” said Saraceno.
“There’s no harm, no foul. We always respected the (former) governor’s right to change course.”
Saraceno said the group would not be commenting further.
That seems a little, um, terse, doesn’t it? I wonder why? Oh:
It was on Thursday that Palin’s spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton made public the news of the decision not to attend the event via Palin’s Facebook page. She wrote that Palin had never committed to coming to Simi Valley and had requested several weeks ago that her name be removed from the invitation.
So, according to Saraceno, she just found out as of yesterday, but Meg "Lips Apart, Lies Coming Out" Stapleton said that Palin opposite-RSVP’d a couple of weeks ago. Which… means… that either the Simi Valley Republican Women Federated were selling tickets under false pretenses or, well… you know the drill.
It seems like only a few weeks ago that someone wrote:
Sarah Palin breaks open her High School Musical day-planner and makes plans for August 8th for her coming out party … in pencil:
[...]
Unless someone with a more bitchin’ car invites her to the prom….
I guess this is not one of those "no one could have predicted" moments…

Shooting chaperones from a helicopter is cool.
Sarah Louise Duessa Heath Palin is a big fat liar who looks like a tranny hooker. Hope Mann Coulter bangs her.
Surprising that Palin wouldn’t appear. Simi Valley, where you could find white ethnic jurors to acquit the Rodney King cops, seems like a natural.
Maybe there’s a better event in Philadelphia, Mississippi that day.
TBogg, you blinded me with prescience!
Sarah Palin – Resignation Speech
She’s really throwing herself into the fight, isn’t she? The only thing Palin throws herself into is the tanning bed – and I hope that someone tiptoes in and turns that sucker up to 11.

So discovered Rich Lowery.
Maybe she’s worried William Shatner will turn her speech into poetry again.
Who knew a mountain could soar?
It can if it’s made of Upsidasium.
I think she’s holed up in Wasilla with a case of the vapors.
Palin would be wise to start showing up: Carrie Prejean is gaining ground on her and Prejean’s, um, conservative credentials, are much perkier than Palin’s.
Damn, TBogg, you’re good. I can’t wait to hear what’s happening on Aug 8 that she canceled Simi Valley for.
Moosylvania… I had almost forgotten that name. How perfect.
Ok. So the Simi Valley peeps should just hire Shatner to read a mash-up of the “best of Palin”, culled from the interminable numbers of speeches and interviews La Palina gave. Or, get Tina Fey to do the same. In this case, both the imitation and the interpretation are better than the original.
Awesome. The bull-Heather of Wassilla High is telling the conservative women of Orange County where they get off, *and* disrespecting Nancy Reagan’s precious shrine to her demigod husband.
I’m sure California Republicans are comfortable enough about not running the country any more that this won’t be a problem for Palin at all, as long as she never needs to raise money for anything again.
There are rumors that the former Queen of Moosylvania is going all splitsville with her Prince Consort.
Perhaps this is impacting her travel plans.
Hey, where’d the link go? I’ll give it another try.
Here’s another link, this one from Alaska Report.
As usual, Mudflats has the detail and throws in this tidbit:
ROFLMAO!!
Simi Valley is north and east of Los Angeles proper, whereas Orange County is south. Otherwise, perfect.
This one goes out to Sarah: Moving to Montana.
I thought Nancy’s BFFs were running the place. Ah, well.
