Will Sarah Palin join the Wall Street Occupation?
After all, her most prominent theme recently has been to rail against Crony Capitalism and the establishment...

This the perfect opportunity for her to put up...or shut up!

Why Wall Street should fear Sarah Palin

Of course, the big players who can afford lobbyists work the regulations in their favor, while their smaller competitors are left out in the cold. The result here are regulations that institutionalize the “too big to fail” mentality. … The president is trying to convince us that he’s taking on the Wall Street “fat cats,” but firms like Goldman Sachs are happy with federal regulation because, as one of their lobbyists recently stated, “We partner with regulators.” … You’ll find the name Goldman Sachs on many an Obama administration résumé, including Rahm Emanuel’s and Tim Geithner’s chiefs of staff. We need to be on our guard against such crony capitalism.


Gov. Palin on Wall Street

Palin accused Wall Street regulators of being "asleep at the switch," and vowed that she and McCain would "put an end to the mismanagement and abuses.""We’re going to reform the way Wall Street does business and stop the golden parachutes for CEOs who betray the public trust," she said.

2. What's incredible is we'll now see the Tea Party align themselves with Wall Street predators.
They claim they're interested in other things, but like all Republicans they just hop on the other side of the fence from any progressive group.

Now we'll have to endure a week of Barstool Republicans arguing for the beleagured bank exec.

3. The only way she'd even showup is for some green cabbage.
