The organizers of the Iowa Tea Party rally that will feature Sarah Palin are a bunch of keystone cops. They had invited Christine O’Donnell on the assumption she was a Tea Party hero and pal of Palin. It turned out her and Palin haven’t spoken since the election and many Iowa Tea Partiers didn’t want her there. So after inviting, dis-inviting and re-inviting her, Palin’s handlers threaten to pull her from the schedule if Christine O’Donnell spoke. In response, O’Donnell was dumped from the speaking lineup.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is set to appear at a tea party rally in Iowa Saturday, a source close to Palin told CNN.
And Christine O’Donnell is out (again), the source said.
[…]
Representatives for O’Donnell did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment Wednesday, but Ken Crow, one of the rally organizers, told the Des Moines Register that he dis-invited O’Donnell at the Palin camp’s request.
The Palin source said O’Donnell’s representatives misled the tea party group about the extent of the governor’s relationship with O’Donnell.
O’Donnell’s representatives told event organizers that she would be in Iowa on the date of the rally and would like to come by and “say hi” to Palin, the source said. O’Donnell was then added to the speaking agenda.
The source told CNN that O’Donnell aides lied to organizers and said Palin had been communicating via text message with O’Donnell about the rally.
“The governor hasn’t spoken to her in a year,” the Palin source said of O’Donnell.
I don’t blame Sarah Palin for not wanting to be seen with Christine O’Donnell. At the same time, she took O’Donnell from an obscure anti-masturbation activist into a political heroine to some Conservatives. Clearly Christine O’Donnell is too toxic even for Sarah Palin.
Christine O’Donnell needs to realize that being against masturbation, doesn’t make you popular in politics. Too many voters do it!
