AUGH!
\n
I opened the Ventura County Star this morning to learn (from the top headline, no less) that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will appear at a fundraiser for the Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley next month.<\/p>\n
Oh the shame, the shame this brings upon my beloved Ventura County!<\/p>\n
Even thought they’ve returned Elton Gallegly to Congress for 22 wasted years, and provided Sacramento with the “Donnie and Marie” of California politics (Audra and Tony Strickland) I have always took comfort in the hope that Ventura County’s Republicans weren’t as clueless as Orange County’s. <\/p>\n
No more. Our humiliation is complete.<\/p>\n
But wait, the event is expected to draw 900 people to that famous “Hanger on the Hilltop”, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. They’ll be charging $150 a plate for the seats… $100 for members, deal!<\/p>\n
$150 a plate for a Republican state governor, Conservative Icon, and recent national-ticket Rockstar?<\/p>\n
Who should be embarrassed here? Ventura County… or Gov. Sarah Palin?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
