Sara Palin skipping the GOP Convention -- there goes the fun

[Cyrano]

Sister Sara won't be attending the Republican clown parade because it's too far away. Damn. What's a Republican convention without Sara Palin there to destroy the English language, or Clint Eastwood, to talk to an empty chair, or some imbecile to tell us that God is a Republican?

Sad! Trump Says Palin Won't Attend RNC Because Alaska Is 'A Long Ways Away'

Just when you think there will be a couple of chuckles over the next four days, Sara drops out of the show.

Actually, the real reason she's skipping it is because Trump is a clown and she wants to remain a serious Republican candidate for some future race.

Okay, sorry. I just couldn't keep a straight face while writing the last sentence.

1. tells me she probably wasn't invited.

she's probably too scholarly for trumpalooza

[Cyrano]

2. Hey, if she can't see Cleveland from her porch ...

[malaise]

3. She probably wasn't offered a speaking slot

because even the interpreters are staying away.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[pinboy3niner]

10. All the word salad spots were already taken

[malaise]

13. She probably wanted that VP spot

so she could be president

[L. Coyote]

36. Possibly a tantrum, plus she is upset with Trump dissing Gramps McCain as a POW loser

Trumps despises people who were prisoners of war, righjt?

[malaise]

37. Didn't she join him after that?? n/t

[L. Coyote]

40. She had that embarrassing word salad endosement moment, the Iowa U'becha Hallelujah speech.

Trump starts out lying, says he has known her for a long time.....

"... if you love our freedom ..." and calls Obama a liar.

[lindysalsagal]

15. Or, maybe they feared she'd used up all her words on McCain.

You betcha!

[malaise]

19. LOL

She's a first rate quitter in chief

[pinboy3niner]

20. Wearing a dead porcupine while endorsing Trump didn't go over so well

[lindysalsagal]

21. That jacket screams "I could get pricklier."

"So watchit!"

[pinboy3niner]

23. That jacket screams...

..."carrion."

[Different Drummer]

17. There aren't very many word salad interpreters out there. n/t

[lpbk2713]

4. But she'll be tweeting her stupidity non-stop.

It's easier to do it from her front porch.

[livetohike]

5. No one is paying her, or she would be there in a flash.

If Trump wanted her there, he would send his private jet.

[malaise]

24. She was expecting a new wardrobe, a private jet, a five star hotel

and a limo.

A Grifter and a Con Man - ReTHUGs are 'outthuging' themselves - the real Con has dethroned and 'defanged' Lady BlahBlah - delish!

[pinboy3niner]

32. Don't forget bendy straws and 'Johnny Choos'

[malaise]

33. Hehehehehhee

[pinboy3niner]

6. In what respect, Charlie?

Darn, she will be missed.

[bdwker]

7. Trump didnt want the dipshit there.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. But

Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and Tim Tebow will be there! Should be great fun! It'll be yuuuuuuge!!!

[Johonny]

9. He probably bounced the check he gave her for the endorsement

[pinboy3niner]

11. As God is my witness, I thought Sarah Palin could fly

[Different Drummer]

18. Love the WKRP reference! n/t

[pinboy3niner]

26. When this convention opens we'll all be saying...

"Oh, the humanity!"

[malaise]

34. They'll all be talking to Eastwood's chair

[Act_of_Reparation]

12. Translation

"I wasn't picked as VP, so I'm not going."

[lindysalsagal]

14. Awwwww. And I was so gonna watch...

not.

[pinboy3niner]

22. She was going to be my top drinking game

It's just as well, though. I have waaaay too many others for this convention.

[lindysalsagal]

25. She's not worth the liver diseease, man!

Why not wait for every true fact they bring up about job creation. Save you alot of money and alka seltzer!

[lindysalsagal]

16. Too bad for Tina Fey: Maybe she'll speak on SNL instead!!!!

[pinboy3niner]

27. Maybe they're saving her to serve as Trump's debate coach

[wcmagumba]

28. They'll...

probably give her a video slot straight from Waasilly....!

[Chasstev365]

29. I thought she would be the key note speaker, who would fawn all over Donald!

[dubyadiprecession]

30. There's always room for one more clown or...

lunatic in that insane asylum of a convention.

[Wounded Bear]

31. Well, I've heard that Putin is about to invade Alaska...

I'm sure Sarah is looking forward to mustering in with her militia regiment.

[madamesilverspurs]

35. Breathing a sigh of relief --

the battalion of Trumpsplainers, who already have more than they can handle...

[raven mad]

38. It's all my fault.

I begged everyone to please keep her there. Anywhere but way up here!

[Warren DeMontague]

39. They told her she'd have to pay for her own booze.

[tallahasseedem]

41. I REALLY wanted her there...

I would have made tacos and popcorn for that kind of entertainment!
