Palin to Rip "Crony Capitalism" in Iowa Speech

By Scott Conroy - September 2, 2011

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Though she won't be a candidate when she delivers a major address at a tea party rally in Iowa on Saturday, Sarah Palin will make it clear that she if enters the presidential race later this month she will vociferously challenge Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s engrained image of solidarity with the tea party movement.

In her speech at the bucolic National Balloon Classic field in Indianola, Palin will lean on loaded phrases like “crony capitalism” and “permanent political class” in laying out her view of the U.S. political system’s deep-rooted ills, according to a source close to Palin and familiar with the content of the speech.

Though she will not call Perry out by name, Palin’s carefully couched rhetoric will leave the impression that she may soon draw more overt attention to one of the Texan’s potential vulnerabilities as a candidate: his history of doling out plum positions and other benefits to generous campaign donors during his nearly 11-year tenure as the nation’s longest serving governor.

“Part of what she’s going to be addressing is the frustration that many Americans feel that nothing gets done in Washington, D.C.,” a Palin source told

4. She hasn't had a problem being his buddy in the past.

She was in Texas at one of his shindigs when she supposedly went into labor and flew back to Alaska.

2. Who's she kidding? Palin would take "crony capitalism" in a heartbeat

. . . if it were only offered to her.

3. Who?

She's meaningless.

5. What did the Half-Governor do in her little stint in Alaska?

The fact that people even care what this nitwit has to say is scary. Her 15 minutes should have been over long ago. She won't offer any solutions, or a way to change things. Her hypocrisy is sickening.

6. why do they even pay attention to that twit?
