Palin in Idaho Open Thread (Updated with Crying from the Far-Left) (Palin on Conan Tonight)
Longtime C4P and Palin4VP veteran Manajordan was at the Coeur d'Alene book signing. You can read her review of the event in the comments section of this thread. The Spokesman-Review review of the signing is here.
This picture is a pretty cool one from the Sandpoint book signing. The Washington Post and Bonner-County Daily Bee (the local Sandpoint newspaper) also have write-ups of Governor Palin's final book signing in the Lower 48. There are also lots of pictures from the most recent book signings on Governor Palin's Facebook page.
We'll update if more news becomes available. Until then, you know the drill. What's going on tonight?
Update: Cue up the banjos for Josh Marshall from Talking Points Memo.
Liberal Greg Sargent is quite horrified that Governor Palin's op-ed in the Washington Post is one of the most read Washington Post opinion pieces of the year. Marc Ambinder is in tears as well.
Update #2: Governor Palin will reportedly appear on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien tonight. We'll have a Conan open thread in a couple of hours. If you don't want to find out what happened prior to seeing the show yourself, just avoid the upcoming Conan thread.

Liberal fail: Palin protest edition
http://www.writeonnevada.com/2009/12/liberal-fail-palin-protest-edition.html
GA,
That was hilarious! Thank you!
Those protesters seem to have the same fortitude, as The Once.
OK Tommy, I'll bite....
What's so cool about this picture??
http://twitpic.com/t2g3p
Terri,
You don't think 'Cuda rocking a Vandals sweatshirt is a cool pic? C'monnnnnn....
By the way, the Washington Post write-up is somewhat hilarious (though fair for the most part)
How was the fanfare "modest" if 10% of the total town's population showed up to get their books signed?
"the Once"...ha ha
Interesting to note that the WaPo article about her Sand Point signing noted that a whole "half dozen" protesters showed up, a woman and her 2 kids, and I guess 3 other "adults." Wow, how pathetic is that, a whole 4 adults and 2 kids. The same thing happened in VA as well, a tiny handful of protesters who quickly left, I think there was 1 protester in Springfield MO.
When Organizing for America held their 9-13 demonstration, supposedly to counter the 9-12 protests, they drew all of 149 people, and that's after months of send out emails to millions of people on 0bama email list.
I guess that's the kind of turn out the dems get when they aren't either paying them to be there, or aren't attracting people with free rock concerts and food.
Tommy,
I'm not ashamed to show my ignorance......what is a "Vandals" sweatshirt?
University of Idaho, her alma mater.
Thanks Tommy, **she says sheepishly** ;-)
It's sort of like when dems say, "oh, she only sold a million books, that means 299,000,000 didn't read it." I always remind them that both of 0bama's books combined only sold 1.4 million in all the years they've been out, despite all the hype they got during the campaign.
10 percent of the total population is a huge turnout. Has 10 percent of anywhere ever turned out for any other person in the gop, or even for that matter 0bama?
I think "The Once" is a Tammy Bruce gem!:)
Tommy, I swear....If Sarah ever braves coming to the Chicago area...I'm gonna give her an OFFICIAL Chicago Cubbies sweatshirt.
Ya know, The Once (as Nancy calls him lol) and Mayor Daley and all the other Chicago cronies are all Chicago (I can barely stand to say the words) White sox fans. ewwwww
THAT would be perfect.
GAH,
Obama probably had AT LEAST 10% of the Chicago population in Grant Park...more than once even ....:-(
Oh my gosh guys...take a look!!!
Sarah Palin to Appear on ‘Tonight Show’ (It’s a Surprise)By <span>BILL CARTER</span>
<span>David Letterman</span> has been all but begging <span>Sarah Palin</span> to grace his couch with a visit, but it’s his competition, <span>Conan O’Brien</span>, being granted the favor of a drop-in from the former vice presidential candidate.
Ms. Palin is scheduled to make a surprise walk-on appearance with Mr. O’Brien on NBC’s “Tonight Show,” which is being taped later Friday evening in Los Angeles.
The following is a tweet from Sarah from earlier today....
<span>"Head out now 2 tape a media segment b4 heading 2 Alaska for 2 more book events.I'm honored 2 sign@Anchorage&Fairbanks military bases Sunday"</span>
By the way, in that Insiders poll, four Democrat insiders said that Palin was the most impressive political figure of the year.
The protester's "half dozen", is like Palin supporter's "hundreds".
The counting is something right out of Geithnermatics.
<span>Oh my gosh guys...take a look!!!

So Cool!:)
that's great!
conan makes fun of Madam 45, but never in the digusting sexist vile way that that pervert Letterman does.
Conan I think has interviewed her before when she was still the governor.
GO SARAH!!!!!!! you'll do great!
Conan..YUCK, he is the same assclown that made that stupid joke about her being attacked by tomatoes and his idiot audience laughed at it and though it was hilarious. She should have gone on Leno, he is much more respectful and Rush went on his show and had a blast..so now we know why she was in LA
There are two memes that the Democrats and the GOP establishment know they must reinforce about Palin to stop her from advancing to the primaries, winning the primaries and becoming POTUS. They are the "bimbo/hick/clueless" meme and the "quitter" meme.
Right now surprisingly the "quitter" meme is not gaining traction in the media. As one observer said on MSNBC recently, it should have hurt her more but her supporters don't seem to care that Palin resigned. What this observer was actually saying if you read between the lines was that Palin is one smart cookie to take the Going Rogue tour to places that would naturally gravitate to her natural, authentic, commonsense charm and not to the urban sewers where she would be spit on or tear her to shreds. Consolidate your base: don't look backward through the rearview mirror; surge ahead looking for new conquests. Deal with the "quitter" meme down the road.
So what is the Left and the Right left with: the myth created by the MSM during the 2008 campaign and exposed by Media Malpractice. And that myth is barely hanging by a thread.
Oh to be a Leftist or GOP operative and to probably have no hair left trying to figure out how to take Palin down.
Ok so according to the Hollywood Reporter, its gonna be a skit, it was a surprise move, and she was hurried into the back door and all of the fans who were there were told to leave when they brought her in so they wouldnt know about it..its gonna be a skit, wanna bet they go after Letterman
oh man, you're 100% correct, it was Leno I was thinking off.
BUT, Conon is the highest rated late night show now. I don't think Leno's show is doing that great, he's not on the late night lineup anymore. Sarah always thinks ahead.
Sarah will do great. Conon has made fun of Sarah, but never in the demeaning sexist vile way that pervert on cBS has, Sarah will hold her own, and show that she is not whining and crying like the Chief-Marxist when people make fun of her.
She will rock, I have no doubt in my mind! :)
I'm gonna watch Washington week to see if anybody's neck got longer.
SWEET REVENGE FOR SARAH TONIGHT
Laura Ingraham hosting BOR, opening with Governor Palin and her op-ed. Played some audio of her interview with Governor Palin.
and how many people didn't vote for the prince of lameness?
Isn't the "Tonight Show" Jay Leno's show? So has Leno retired already and Conan O'Brien replaced him?
We all know why Sarah is going on this show.
One last "score to settle", so to speak before heading home for the holidays.
Giving herself a little Christmas gift...lol
Sounds like fun!
First time to watch Conan's show, for me!
This is going to cause some wee-weeing, by the looneys!
Sounds like fun!
<span>We all know why Sarah is going on this show.

I just hope the drones in the audience are respectful, these are the same zombies on the left who cheered when Conan said how Sarah had been attacked with tomatoes
Sarah just gave interview to Eddie Burke
Tonight will be my first time to see him. Guess it just shows we'll do about anything for the Governor!
It makes sense to raise and train an army<span> before</span> venturing into enemy territory, no?
I thought Sarah was flying back to Alaska yesterday. Doesn't she have appearance set up at military bases in Alaska for the weekend? Wow! The Tonight Show, tonight.
It'll be interesting to see how the audience reacts. Supposedly it's a surprise to them too.
Tommy Report,
Thanks for the shout out and link :) It was a great experience.
So, she is going to go on Conan. I think it's cool. I've never watched The Tonight Show with him hosting. I'm sure she will do great.
Leno has an hour show in primetime now. I haven't seen it though.
Laker you're right....they'll cheer for anything.
Me too Zephyr.
Sort of, kind of, watched Leno on a blue moon. But never have seen Conan.
wait is she on the conan show tonight? btw Laura Ingraham just tore to pieces this woman advocating a world one child policy it was great :)
Patrick,
That was awesome! Laura controlled her from start to finish.
Okay you guys, those of you with spare "pocket change"...
Laura Ingraham's auction of Sarah's jacket is up to $35,000.
Any takers????
Dang, Terri that would take a big 'change pocket' to up the bid from there.
I just searched under my couch cushions and am about $34,999.52 short. Unfortunately.
Can anyone spot me the difference?:)
Got you covered Nancy! Make the bid.
Any chance C4P can get the Bob an Mark interview from this morning and the Eddie Burke interview from this afternoon?
damn, I had no idea she was on, what did she say
The only way I can cough up that kinda cash is if Obama lends me some of that stimulus LOL
I like BOR even though he has a huge ego, but I think the show is much better when Laura hosts but thats just me plus I have met her and I kinda used to have a crush on her ;)
How much will I get to see this jacket for my $.48 contribution?
You can catch the podcast later at kbyr.com.. cause I did not hear the whole thing either. ...The Bob and Mark interview was pretty good. Her voice needs rest..but the overall interview was good.
Sarah on Conan, hmm.......I'm glad that I know how to use my DVR now.
Lisa Ling on with Laura on O'Reilly.
hmmm.....I don't know about that....
Can't stand Conan.
I'll send you a picture of the flag pin.....
This must be the "media taping" she referred to on twitter yesterday. Looks like she is giving her ratings to Conan and not Letterman :) Rock on!
this will be my first time watching conan ever and probably the last time just like Oprah :)
The Guv got me to watch Oprah once...I guess I can do the same for Conan!
From The Tonight Show website: Ladies and Gents: Tonight's show is going to be amazing. I know I say that EVERY night, but tonight I mean it... Because we've got a very very special guest showing up tonight! Who is it, you ask!? I can't say! Not even the majority of our staff will know who it is until our mystery guest arrives this afternoon. No joke! This is top secret stuff!! However, because you guys are awesome, and I love you all... We'll be posting an early clip of their appearance tonight right here on our site!! Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook for an announcement of when the clip is up!
Maybe when BOR retires it will become the Ingraham Factor :)
LOL!:)
this latest auction made me wonder- did palin ever have dinner with the woman who bid on that for another fund raiser related to the military
It was Craig Fergusson. He's the Scottish guy. She made him an honorary citizen of Alaska and he said she had a "naughty librarian look".
do we know what brand the jacket is? lol
I think Governor Palin has a very strict tv appearance policy. ABL. Anyone But Letterman.
Whit...That would an absolutley perfect gift.
What's more americana than the Cubbies?...underdog, wears red/white/blue, Wrigley Field, bleacher bums, Ron Santo and oh yea the best thing?.....Obama is NOT a Cub fan!
woot woot
So there! **sticking out tongue**.
anything but CBS ABCBS
O/T I'm going to the (anti) health care rally on Tuesday in DC and just decided on my sign: Sarah, come back!
(Bitterclinger)
Boy, I think you nailed it!:)
Admin, Tammy Bruce did the most hilarious piece.
http://www.youtube.com/user/uffdamega52#p/u/2/4sFUJg2dnYw
its 3 parts. I love listening to Tammy Bruce, she so speaks for the Palin Dem/Independent like me!
Laura just hammered a dem strategist on black unemployment numbers she said stimulus stopped the bleeding bs laura would have none of it Bill I love ya but please retire and make may for Laura!
Tommy, I noticed that.
Over at HA of course all AP has posted is the "mute" poll.
That poll...golly, why do you want to "mute' someone that really "impressed" you??
Seems like those "insiders" want Sarah to "sit down and shut up".
10 brands according to WSJ that will disappear in 2010, guess who is on the list??
<span>The Ten Brands That Will Disappear In 2010: Newsweek, Blockbuster, E*Trade ...</span>
LOL!! Weak-News~~
http://patriotroom.com/article/externalClicked/8446
love it!!
love it!!
There is MORE TODD than sarah! WAY COOL! ;)
Honestly..... who are these people that oppose Sarah, and why? I understand they are socially damaged and I know they are "fearful" of life ( and afterlife) But, how can they says such stupid comments that are so thoughtless. I read some comments to the WashCompost op-ed. Of coarse i enjoyed the op-ed, how can I not since it was well written. But to call sarah ingnorant, poorly educated, uninformed. Obviously she is not! Leftists are just so freaky, don;t they ever look in the mirror? Do they think their comments are witty? Thouightful? accurate? Worthy of even reading? I laugh at them, as should all of us. Let's just laugh in their faces. LOL
Tammy Bruce is AWESOME..FOR CRYING OUT LOUD(I LOVE it when she says that)
with emphasis on the BS at the end :)
Here's Conan about Sarah on Oprah....
http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/video/clips/palin-on-oprah-111709/1176856/
Gotta admit and call me what you will..but I thought it was pretty funny. ;-)
BC, Where have you been?...I have seen you lately...Missed you.
Laura tore into that androginous greeniac and defended Sarah too. Said (for those who missed it) "Algore's sold 40,000 books. Sarah Palin's sold over a million. Who's side do you think the public's on?" among other things. 2nd time today I saw/heard Laura lace into someone over Sarah (one didn't even really deserve it-lol). Ingraham is a FIERCE ally! Really glad she's not hedging her bets anymore--and it was the jacket! (women).
Kind of scary. I even check in here before I go out on Friday night...
Duh, haven't
Sarah and Laura doing some old fashioned tag team wrestling on the left
So, you gave up tv, eh Keeley? ;-)
Even o the Tonight Show message board they seem pretty darn excited to see her, dont know what party affiliation they belong to but they seem pretty excited about this. Sarah is a smart woman, she knows that the looney left will never support her but the Independent voters, who watch her and see her as the wonderful person we all see her as, they wil be more willing to vote for her. This is an AWESOME idea, letterman is gonna be all wee weed up tonight..I hope he has extra large diapers

<span>Is this Conan thing for sure? I'd rather see her do Leno. Actually, the only one in CA I'd really like her to see is Tammy Bruce! She'll do great no matter what she does.
Kind of scary. I even check in here before going out on Friday night...</span>
Actually, Laker ... I heard the joke, and it was equally, if not more, joking about MSNBC. Didn't Conan say that the tomato thrower was immediately offered his own talk show on MSNBC?
I find it hilarious that as the book tour wraps, Sarah has graced every single major network now except CBS (well, and CNN). I think it's great she's going on Conan rather than Jay.
Sarah needs to continue burnishing her image as "cool, hip" ... which she is doing with her FB and Twitters. Going on Conan shows she's a younger generation.
Here's the video of Sarah on Conan...enjoy!!!
http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=11665171
Well, Barbara Walters and Oprah are both ABC.
So, the only major network she shunned was CBS.
Good for her!
Plus, somebody (forgot who) said awhile back that the ultimate revenge for Sarah would be going on Conan (opposite David Letterman) and giving him a huge ratings boost. She has told two separate interviewers that she wouldn't want to appear on Letterman because she didn't want to boost his ratings. So this is gonna be sweet, sweet!
I do not doubt Governor Palin in any forum.
TV Appearances
Speeches
Debates
Radio Interviews
TV Interviews
Author
Op-eds
Charity Fundraiser
International Ambassador
She is comfortable appearing anywhere.
OH GEEZ.. !!!! Any takers in the NEXT SCANDAL?...The Air Bases she is signing books at in Alaska will only permit Military People on the bases. So Non-Military won't have a book signing in Alaska. Now Sarah explained on the Eddie Burke show that ...It was a Military decision and not hers.
There is...in the works... an additional book signing for Alaskans...it just has not been scheduled yet.
But we ALL know how this is going to go...DON'T WE!!!!
I don't think I saw a protester, so in Tempe, let's call it:
7,000 to 0
Is there a math whiz who can calculate the percentage?
I loved the skits were Conan got Shatner to recite as poetry her resignation speech and several of her tweets. It was hilarious!
I wonder if Shatner will show up again and Sarah be a good sport and recite them together. He, he..
Some parts of her resignation speech where indeed quite poetic and beaitiful.
Sarah would look better than Obama in a U of Chicago football jersey.
I hated it.
Conan probably hasn't earned this.
But, Letterman has.
Nancy,
She was a natural!!!
Didn't stammer or stutter....was even quite dramatic...lol
And the audience was terrific!
Thank you!!!! Now I can head out to look at Christmas lights!!
Can't wait to see it!:)
I saw comments online saying that Leno was telling Sarah BJ jokes last night. (She signed at BJ's.) I decided that it was unlikely that she was flying in to see Leno.
Sarah flew 1000 miles last night, after 2 book signings and a RT bus ride. Got in way late. The middle of the night, Idaho time. Will she look good? Yup.
I'm not a math whiz, but I do know you're dividing by ZERO there and that's not allowed! Ha Ha!!
Craig deserves a visit, but Letterman owns Craig's show, and Letterman doesn't deserve anything but {details omitted}.
post-gubernatorial ethics complaint
This is the same airbase, where Obama said that the soldier 'made great props' for him. and he was caught, giving the speech in the background, of the F-22 he canceled
AWESOME video..and WOW the audience, the reaction..SPECTACULAR..they were cheering her like crazy..awesome to see..William Shatner is a good guy, kinda liberal, but a good guy..even Conan's people were clapping..is this the only skit or was there more..and WOW Sarah was amazing!! William looked stunned to have seen her, he looked like he was gonna have a coronary LOL..I used to watch him on TJ Hooker, wow those were the days
Quiter? Is this who you mean?

the hannity show is really good tonight about KSM being on trial in a civilian court
Did you think she has a day with no events?
Not our Sarah.
Although she may have an easy day tonight/tomorrow. Only a 10 or so hour flight.
Back to work Sunday.
Be sure to read Greg Sargent's moan about how Gov. Palin's climategate op/ed was the 20th most read op/ed of the year for the WaPo. Also, be sure to read the comments section, typical libs crying about global warming, but then there is a real surge of pro-Palin comments, and then the libs whine and cry about the pro-Palin comments. Actually, quite entertaining.
Have never watched Conan, but I'll watch tonight for sure. Hope he gets as big a boost in his ratings as 0prah did, and leaves Letterboy in the dust.
It must be Rich brand, petite size.
I am waiting until 11:30 PM here to watch Conan I want the anticipation to build for me but I am hearing it is really good and shatner is there this will be a night to remember and Letterman probably crapped his pants when he heard the news
David will be playing with himself tonight. No audience.
Wait, so is that video clip it..or is there more to come..Im hoping she was on even more tonight..the more the better
Terrific? The audience was wild and ecstatic! It was like if the SARC sisters had Sarah show up unexpectedly at their local coffee!
I would certainly expect her to do one in Wasilla!
It's to her great advantage that they have been trying to take her down for over a year and she keeps on going. Not much if any bad stuff left and anyone that wants to run against her will get vetted big time.
Wonder if she is going to "play like she is Tina F."? Wouldn't that be a blast!!!
Part of that is just being caught up in the moment. I have been to shows where I laughed right along with everyone else and the next day I wish I hadn't laughed.
Wonder if they provided her a private Jet to LA and then Ak???
Just finished Going Rogue this afternoon The Way Forward was an amazing chapter, even though it is only 13 pages I think it is the best part of the book I feel like she is saying what I have always thought it is true when I say that Sarah is us and we are Sarah
I loved the audience response...wild, enthusiastic, and definitely loud...couldn't have asked for more...maybe she's the chink in the armor of the Left Coast!
Wal-Mart
It was an example of the Katie C interview. Take lots of video. Cut and paste. Chang the effect.
It is a wonderful example of that technique, and why it should not be used for "news."
No. No publicity for Letterman. Sarah's way is much better.
Sarah did not have dinner with me, so Sarah must have been with that lady.

I never watch the tonight show. But I will tonight..
I never watch the tonight show. But I will tonight..
I really thought that Gov. Palin would go on the Tammy Bruce show...
As a matter of fact, yes, I gave up TV news and all TV along with it. It seems that C4P is my only link to the rest of the world now! LOL.
I guess she has flown home on a commerical flight . ugt750 is headed east.
TSM Admin- Either at Wasilla's Walmart...Or at the Valley Republicans Women Club. Sarah's folks belong to it. Our family does too.
(See my avartar:Its Sarah speech at the Valley Republicans Women Club in March 2009...Sarah's Dad is also also in my photo.)
