Sarah Palin’s people have called and she has answered! The Tea Party ‘rock star’ diva’s still got it! The 27- member senior class of Ferry County High in Republic, WA launched a social media blitz in April to lure Palin into speaking at their commencement. A class picture was posted on Facebook in April. The class held a banner stating: “We Want You! Governor Palin!”
Would it be redundant if I mentioned that Republic is located in the conservative north-eastern part of Washington State? Originally a gold town, the population has dwindled to 1,073 in 2010, according to Wikipedia. Of that number, 89.6% are white. The gym which holds 700 people is expected to be packed.
Palin, who recently made news by criticizing the WHCD as a ‘nerd prom’ although she gladly attended it in the past, also gleefully collected upward of $150 thousand dollars per speaking engagement in her heyday. It was not revealed how many bake sales or car washes the student body held in order to cover Palin’s new fee scale.
