Sarah Palin, Barney Frank to headline Gridiron Club Winter Dinner

[Are_grits_groceries]

WASHINGTON--You betcha, she's coming. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin--on book tour to promote her memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life" will headline the Gridiron Club winter dinner here--along with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.).

Palin, the outspoken 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, will be the Republican speaker at the Dec. 5 gathering; the equally outspoken Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee is the Democratic speaker. A just published biography of Frank is titled, Barney Frank: The Story of America's Only Left-Handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman

The Gridiron Club is an invitation-only association of Washington journalists whose active membership is limited to 65. The winter dinner is a small affair; each spring the club sponsors a white-tie dinner attended by the who's who of Washington.

1. Palin will show up, and start her speech.

Then she'll abruptly leave, because it's "what's best for the attendees," and someone else will have to finish her speech for her.

:rofl:

Ethel and Ernest, Marilyn and Arthur, Julia and Lyle, Liza and David, Lisa Marie and Michael, Anna Nicole and J. Howard, Angelina and Billy Bob, Whoopi and Ted,Renee and Kenny....

And now Sarah and Barney--latest in a long line of weird celebrity couples.
