At A Sarah Palin Photo Op.....

Mrs. Palin was in Hollywood and was invited to the Oscar gift lounge [who knew? -ed.] for a photo op.  She was given a number of nice baubles that she promptly donated back....along with $1,700 out of her pocket for the Red Cross.

Perhaps the best summary of the reaction to the story comes from the comments:

Mention Sarah Palin, and the frothing liberal heads pop up like carnival moles….

Although I dislike the gratuitous use of the word "liberal".   Otherwise, as Glenn Reynolds would say.....heh.
