Sarah Palin’s on-again, off-again appearance at Monday night’s gala GOP fundraising dinner is off — again.
After being invited — for a second time — to speak to the annual joint fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Palin was told abruptly Saturday night that she would not be allowed to address the thousands of Republicans there after all.
The Alaska governor may now skip the dinner altogether, and her allies are miffed at what they see as a slight from the congressional wing of the Republican Party.

She should tell the whole party to piss off.
She should tell the whole party to piss off.
Yes please!
I like how Washington GOP is acting like they are the ideal model for decision-making, message control.
Let me guess: somewhere in all this is the hand of Mitt Romney.
So let’s see... the NRCC and the NRSC passed over Sarah Palin for Newt. The NRSC endorsed Crist and won’t endorse Toomey.
Why do we care about them again?
The title of this article does not compute with the article quoted.
How does one “back out” of something one was disinvited to? Maybe it’s just unclear writing.
What is the matter with these feckless GOP Congressmen??? Are they really that afraid of Sarah? No wonder they cower and quake when in the presence of BO.
They’re either acting out public disrespect to marginalize her, or they’re in conflict between factions for and against her in a behind-the-scenes GOP internal war.
GOP “big tent party”??? Not if you’re a CONSERVATIVE
The Politico’s headline is misleading. The headline should be about Palin being snubbed.
Headline doesn’t seem quite accurate, then.
Palin’s staff had even been sent an agenda with the governor’s speaking slot included.SCREW the damn GOP!But then a finance official with the NRSC called Palin aide Meg Stapleton Saturday night to say that Sessions didn’t want Palin to speak.
Recounting the conversation Sunday, Stapleton said she told the NRSC staffer: “Why, at a time when we’re trying to build the party, would you pull a move like that on somebody who earlier in the day just attracted 20,000 people?”
With a Capital "P"
Gee, nothing misleading about the headline by Politico, is there?
This is it. The war is on.
To hell with the current Republican party and to hell with Newt Gingrich.
We are taking over now. We are going to take this party back now.
We will destroy Pete Sessions and anyone else who gets in our way. Does this clown have a primary coming up ? this will sure as hell be an issue.
Sarah’s going to run in 2012 as an independent or Libertarian. She is going to win.
People on both sides are disgusted and fed up with the current 2 parties. The time is ripe for her to tap into the frustration.
mick — FYI, the GOP is toast and we’ll get a 3rd party unless this is ironed out pronto.
Thats the same thing that hit me. Sarah didn’t back out, she was diminished to the point of saying “screw it”, I have a state to run.
But after public uncertainty as to whether she had actually accepted and would attend, the NRSC and NRCC decided to invite Gingrich instead.
Palin aides in Alaska say the governor never accepted that first invitation and attributed the mix-up to Washington-based advisers.

They just don't get it.
