Apparently India Today did ...
But ... but, .... Sarah Palin to deliver the keynote at this event? Why? Were they unable to book Paris Hilton?
I suppose Palin knows how to cash in her fifteen minutes of fame. I wonder if Mccain gets a commission every time Palin's cash registers ring ... Anyway, why is Sarah Palin going there? Well, because she can't otherwise see India from her front porch in Alaska:
What? Sarah Palin is going there for the gazillion dollars and media exposure, and not for the elephant? I am shocked, shocked!
I almost threw up when I read the blurb at the India Today site:
Governor Palin epitomizes the theme of the 10th India Today Conclave: 'The Changing Balance of Power'. A working mother of five, as a mayor and governor she emphatically broke through the gender-ceiling in Alaska. In the process she cleaned up political corruption and championed reform to allow the private sector to grow.What a mighty fall for this publication that was one of my favorites in my late teenage years! BBC's Biswas notes in his report:
what is quite certain is that Ms Palin will be well received. As a rank newcomer, she has novelty value with the audiences. Also, as analysts like Gupte say, India loves women leaders - India's most powerful leader is Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party chief and daughter-in-law of Indira Gandhi, the country's most powerful prime minister ever. Indians also have traditionally loved Republicans. So while Ms Palin's journey to India may never be fully explained - unless she comes clean to the Delhi glitterati in audience on Saturday night - it will possibly end up provoking a lot of interest. To mop up that kind of attention in the world's largest democracy cannot be a bad thing for any aspiring US presidential candidate.So, where is the half-term governor going after she is done with India?
After the address, Ms. Palin will travel to Tel Aviv, where she will hold a private meeting with Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu on Monday before heading back for another paid speech in Florida on Wednesday.I guess it is Sarah Palin's version of
In a statement on her Web site Thursday, Ms. Palin said the Israel visit was part of an effort on her part to discuss the political change in the Middle East, North Africa and elsewhere. Ms. Palin is traveling with her husband, Todd, and a small number of staff members.
“I’m thankful to be able to travel to Israel on my way back to the U.S.,” Ms. Palin said. “As the world confronts sweeping changes and new realities, I look forward to meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the key issues facing his country, our ally Israel.”
