@The_Lovely_Miss_Bronx: Ooooh...if it were me I'd invite Ariana Huffington, Naomi Kline, Hillary Clinton and Sonia Sotomayor, because I'm pretty sure shrieking and crying would be involved.
Apparently, when Joe McGinniss' identity as a bidder was revealed, he found himself un-preapproved as a bidder. When he tried to up his bid, no dice.
Per the auction rules: "Governor Palin reserves the right to refuse dinner with a winning bidder if, in her sole discretion, the winning bidder is not a suitable bidder based on her subjective standards of suitability, professionalism, background and other factors."

I'd say $64k is a cheap price to pay for the opportunity to watch Sarah Palin get drunk, talk shit about Cindy McCain, and then throw up in her purse under the table, while Todd flirts shamelessly with the waitress.
If she waits a year for the 13-year-old to ripen, Grandma could very well find her a Wasilla husband as an after-dinner bonus!
Well, for a couple weeks, at least.
whoever won the csi:ny thing is going to be mildly annoyed to learn that the show is shot in studio city, california and not the gritty streets of gotham.
Why the fuck would anyone want to have a meal with Karl Rove, much less to pay 16 grand for the "privilege"? Just looking at his bulbous gourd of a head makes me lose my appetite. Also, he seems to perspire a lot and I imagine he has issues with body odor.
@atlasfugged: I would, and I would tape it. I would never enjoy food again, thus lose weight while saving time and money from diets and gyms. I get it.
@atlasfugged: I would *LOVE* to have lunch with Karl Rove. I probably wouldn't eat very much, but I bet I could a. make him cry or b. break a couple of his fingers before the police dragged me away.
13 and 18? I rather horrifying listened to a very young Republican (17? maybe 18?) extol the virtues of protesting the health care reform bill. By mostly using really ugly language about the President (not the bill) this morning over breakfast. At 8 am, in a diner. Nutters this young make me really nervous.
@Lincolnsbeard33: While I actually appreciate a young person who's been sufficiently educated on their current administration and the goings-on of the beltway, I agree.
On the other hand, dear teenage: start paying taxes on top of health insurance premiums on a regular basis, see where that money really goes, and *then* get back to me on your thoughts on reform. Effing twit.
I hope the 18-year old and his girlfriend aren't staying over at the Palin's house during this trip or I'm guessing 9 months from now someone is going to be dropping out of school to take care of a new little bundle of joy.
@jbk: No need to worry. He is probably secure under the protective umbrella of an abstinence-only education. That stuff is foolproof, so I have been led to believe.
@jbk: I kind of hope it's the 18-year-old and her girlfriend, along with a 33-year-old mom, and grandma is somehow hoping Queen Palin will lay hands and heal them all.

And now that I think of it, perhaps I'd replace Tracey with CAPTAIN Morgan.
