After Trump Camp Plugs 'Special Guest,' Palin a NO-SHOW in Iowa
http://cdn.thedailybeast.com/content/dailybeast/articles/2016/01/19/sarah-palin-backs-donald-trump-murders-irony/jcr:content/image.crop.800.500.jpg/48442195.cached.jpgA day after endorsing Donald Trump, Sarah Palin failed to appear as expected at a campaign rally for the GOP frontrunner Wednesday morning.
Trump supporters in Norwalk, Iowa, had been advised on Tuesday that Trump would appear "with a very special guest" in the wake of the high-profile endorsement by the former Alaska governor.
But in Norwalk, Trump gave a relatively standard stump speech -- heavy on criticism of GOP rival Ted Cruz -- without being joined by the onetime vice-presidential candidate at all.
The Trump campaign has not yet responded to a request for comment from NBC News.

HBO's Game Change Introduces Us To Sarah Palin's "Johnny Choos" & Love Of Consignment Shopping
http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/dressed/2012/03/hbos-game-change-introduces-us
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin insisted in an interview with the Tribune on Thursday that she did not accept $150,000 worth of designer clothes from the Republican Party and "that is not who we are."
"That whole thing is just, bad!" she said. "Oh, if people only knew how frugal we are.
"It's kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported," said Palin, saying the clothes are not worth $150,000 and were bought for the Republican National Convention. Still, she has been wearing pricey clothes at campaign events this fall. She said they will be given back, auctioned off or sent to charity. Most of them, she said, haven't even left the belly of her campaign plane.
