Make no mistake about it: The big star at Tammy Haddad's eighteenth annual garden brunch was not, say, Chace Crawford, Morgan Fairchild or Shaun White. The biggest head-turner was Sarah Palin, who attended the party with Fox News' s Greta Van Susteren. Palin was also accompanied by her husband, Todd, and daughter Bristol.
We had to ask: Why was the former Alaska governor, who has knocked the Georgetown cocktail party crowd in the past, at the brunch?
"The nice thing about this is we're doing this for a cause, for special needs, which, of course, is near and dear to my heart," Palin told POLITICO. "A nice social event combined with helping to raise awareness and funds for special needs. We're honored to be here."
And is Palin looking forward to bumping into Donald Trump, another of the weekends most-buzzed-about guests, at some point?
"He's our buddy! We appreciate and respect Donald Trump," she said.
Once inside, guests of all stripes angled to get a picture with Palin, including astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
The hubbub was enough to cause one reporter to quip: "Look at all these reporters who typically rip her a new one mosey on up to her, desperate to get a photograph."
Palin was also accompanied by her husband, Todd, and daughter Bristol.
But.....,but....,but...,I thought Palin and Bristol were fueding,and Bristol was ashamed of being seen with her mother,and had ever barred her mother from visiting her house in Az!
What misfired in that undersized for even for that small chamber in that lump 3 feet above your ass brain that made you confuse LF with LP or BBR - Boofer's Briefing Room - and thus made you ***think*** anyone here would give a shit about Sarah Palin let alone any subsequent Hannity-esque "commentary" about her?
