RNC Chairman Reince Priebus hopes Sarah Palin will speak at the Republican convention in Tampa.

“I think a lot of her and hope that she does speak,” Priebus told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News on Monday night.

GOP leaders recently announced its first wave of convention speakers, including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Rick Santorum.

If Palin does speak, she would join other prominent GOP women whose national profiles have risen since Palin was pushed onto the national spotlight after McCain chose her as his running mate. In addition to Rice, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez also will be speaking.

Unless the RNC has another off-the-reservation Chair, I can't imagine he said this without Romney's okay. In which case, either Mittens is still insanely desperate to suck up to the Tea Party, or he's leading her and them on, in which case the backlash when she doesn't show up will be worse than ignoring her in the first place.

1. Sister Sarah

I can hardly wait to hear her penetrating analysis and keen insights into the evils of the Obama administration. Since she ran for VP is she is far more qualified to be VP as Putin has flown over Alaskan airspace many more times, and historians have proven that Paul Revere really did ride from town to town shouting, "The Americans are Armed..the NRA is ready" scaring the crap out of the invading Spanish.

Yes I look forward to seeing her there and hearing her speak!

You betcha!!

2. Well make it happen Rinse Penis

Please, I want everyone to see the teabaggers frothing at the mouth. We can't be letting people forget the teabaggers run your show now right!

3. LOL

[Ganja Ninja]

4. Also too and in addition me too.

What's a GOP convention without a word salad?

5. I Don't Think Reince Really Meant This.......

6. No Invite

The last I heard, she hadn't even been invited to attend the Convention, knowing her, she will crash the party and make her not so grand entrance. They have enough trouble without having her around.

7. No--he really hopes she will stay the fuck away. She's got more appeal than Mitt, who needs

every bit he can muster.

8. The Mitt and Sarah Comedy Revue...

the jokes would write themselves

[Major Hogwash]

9. Reince Priebus is a dirty liar.

Wow, that was easy.
And I'm not even a chairman of any political party.

17. I keep seeing his name as "Penis Rebus."

I wonder what that would look like....

10. Maybe he's also hoping that ex-governor, former VP candidate and vaguely human

Sarah Palin puts her name in nomination for the presidency during her speech and is chosen by acclaim so he doesn't have to deal with Mitt's tax and Bain problem.

11. Interstestingly enough... I too hope she speaks.

In fact they should embed her with the Romney campaign and allow her to speak as long and as often as she likes.

[AlbertCat]

12. But she can barely speak in English....

badda bing!

[AlbertCat]

13. or he's leading her and them on

I dunno about Sarah.... but "leading them on" is ALL one does or can do with Teabaggers.

14. And I really wish that Rinse Pubis would just toddle back to Weenieville

where be obviously came from. What a little weasel. Apologies to actual, furry, 4-legged weasels.

15. Palin is still around?

She's been quiet for so long, I thought the GOP had her hidden in the Witless Protection Program.

[Spirochete]

16. I would think he'd still be

saying "Haw, haw! 'Mitt!' What a weird fucking name! 'Mitt' Hyulk, hyulk, hyulk"

18. It's not often I agree with RNC PR BS

But I think Snooki could inject some serious economic and foreign policy insights into the event.

[Canuckistanian]

19. I hope she does, too

Just a little reminder to all those non-insane Repubs and Independents

[DesertRat]

20. Funny thing is, Sarah is all about Sarah

Has she even mentioned Romney? Should be fun to watch.

[Myrina]

21. I hope she does, too.

Bring on the insane word salad & let it permeate the airwaves and voting booths so everyone remembers what the GOP is made of!
