UPDATE: Just in case you thought that Sarah Palin's press-goosechase bus tour of the I-95 corridor couldn't get any more surreal...
Michael Cohen, special counsel to Donald Trump, confirmed to NBC News that the real estate mogul and his wife will meet and dine with Palin and her husband Tuesday night in New York City.
Cohen tells NBC News that Palin and Trump had previously discussed meeting up the next time Palin visited the city.
Trump and his wife, Melania, ate pizza with Palin and her daughter Piper at La Famiglia on 50th Street and Broadway.

Good Grief!
Two publicity whores at the same table!
On the menu this evening, there will be a narcissism souffle with a side dish of ludicrous!
And a steaming pile of ego.
May 31, 2011 - Republican strategist Charlie Cook on
Sarah Palin: "I do not think she will run. Why would she give up her
million dollar job with Fox and $75,000 a speech?"
"She is making more money than God ever intended her to make."
"making more money than God ever intended her to make" or her tiny brain would allow. Her sum total of talent has more to do with her Looks than any God given ability. Thanks to a desperate McCain in 2008, we are stuck with this T and A show for for another election cycle. Hopefully, the Tea-Baggers will find another nice set of boobs to get hard for in 2016. The only way she would ever get my vote, is if she and the Donald go on TV and give us a demonstration of Tea-Bagging.
dennis - jealous of palins pay?
pescado podrido
To coin your sentiments Feisty Redhead,
Grifters Inc. their new collaboration. It will probably be a New TV Show in the Fall.
Trump/Palin 2012: "You're fired and I quit!"
Faux American...Like most conservatives on this board, you are so gullible you'd get pocket picked walking thru a cemetery.
american,
I could care less about how much she makes – I was just
repeating what a leading Republican
said – I thought it was funny & truthful.
Torpedo - you are jealous to? Or afraid she will run??
How did you know that the cemetary is where the democrats get their extra votes. lol!
Dennis - not so much funny, but I agree truthfull. "Whatever the market will bear" has much to do with it. As long as she has her retractors, she will stay in as a topic of derision or praise.
Betcha Todd doan reach fer the bill when it arrives at their table.
American? I'm guilty. I AM jealous that an idiot with little to NO talent for running a town, let alone a state and God forbid the country, can cross the country making speeches that are so totally without fact, that she makes a bazillion dollars. I'm all for people who work hard and make a ton of money, but what this woman does is on par with what a pimp is... making money for doing NOTHING....
What Trump and Palin have in common is their ability to play the silly media like a big bass drum. It is fun to watch these serious reporters being schooled by his hairness and her hotness.
I guess it is more fun than writing about 9% unemployment, anemic economic growth, $4 per gallon for gasoline, and a double dip housing recession.
With data like this, my puppy could whip Obama's ass. And I have her long form birth certificate handy.
I asked this question the other day and still haven't received an answer - go figure!
Please tell us what mini-Palin aka Bristol, has done to earn her millions other, than having a kid out of wedlock, while her MOTHER promoted abstinence ONLY??
The entire Palin klan has NEVER met a pocket they wouldn't pick!
I can just see their spouses now not able to get a word in. Maybe they can sneak away to vent.
I said it last week, and I still believe it. Just because she runs doesn't mean she's giving up any of her high paying gigs. That's the thing. I think her campaign will be a gig itself, i.e. a reality tv show. "Behind the scenes of a Presidential campaign as you've never seen it." If you think about it, it'll be her way to be in the media, but have complete control over how she's portrayed. She won't give any interviews to other networks as to avoid the Couric-like disaster. Trump can finance the whole thing so he can pop up from time to time to remain relevant.
That's my prediction anyway. It's not going to be as simple as her running or not running as long as there's money to be made from it. She knows what the poll numbers are, but she'll act like they're not true. A run for the President may not be about winning for her, as falling short could be quite a lucrative thing.
Sorry, I can't help it. All that comes to mind is the restaurant scene in "Dumb and Dumber".
How about No Strings Attached, or they could do an Indecent Proposal scenario while they make Todd sit in the corner and watch.
Deep thoughts with Comb-Over & Air-Head.
let the circus begin
You can read all about this encounter in the next issue of "Swingers"
I'd be willing to bet if most of you posters here had an IQ contest against these two, you wouldn't fare very well. You don't get to where they are by being dumb.
wives fan - whoever said everyone earns the wages received?
Why people want to keep pulling palin back into the spotlight is beyond my comprehension, but yet look at the number of posts she and donald the rug gets on first read. It is like the first read editors have side bets going on how many comments are made about nothing.
American, Palin = clicks and clicks = bucks. She ain't goin' to disappear from these sites anytime soon.
I hope some college kid is the wait person. Can you imagine the tip they will have to cough up with the whole world watching?
indy lib - thanks for the heads up on clicks. I will remember that on the next slow news day.
No feisty (feisty? lol s/b snarly) the major egos of Obama and Bill Clinton are not getting together the story is about Palin and Trump, you twit! But soon Obama and buddies will be eating crow together... won't that be a delicious treat? How do you like your crow feisty (s/b snarly)..... well done I would think!
MIKED: Major news flash for ya; Obama & Clinton have a thousand times more brains & ability than that pair of nitwits, thus giving them plenty of reasons to have large egos.
What has the Wasilla hillbilly done that rates self satisfaction? Quitting halfway through her first term as governor???
All I can say is that if Palin is the lib definition of dumb, then lib is the definition of dumber. She's so dumb that the lib media can't stop talking about her. Feisty has the most intelligent comment about Palin. WOW, a real sign of intelligence! good grief....
Meanwhile, the messiah, is continuing to lead the economy into lands unknown. Any chance Obama and the dems will run on their record? Can't you hear Obama's campaign speech: The last four years have been the best four years in American history. Unemployment is at an all-time best level. Anyone who wants a job can get one. Obamacare has improved the American health care system dramatically. Why, if you don't vote for me, you must be dumber than Sarah Palin, who wouldn't do any of the things I've done!
Did he invite her, or did she just show up?
Palin is our Princess Diana!
Solipsist meets solipsist at the table to enjoy the pizza - or more accurately the pizza enjoys being eaten by the solipsists, Palin and Trump. After dinner they leave the room and both of them disappear.
Hi Forrest, I see my favoirte conversation piece back out front.....I'm thinking most of the Eastern Seaboard wish they would have know she was coming.
What do you think maybe sound off the Tornadoe/Hurricane sirens in slow bursts so people could have a chance to take shelter before the Storm?
Wow.....another stellar post to send out to the Independent world for perusal! All of you liberals keep it up. Your making my job easy day by day. It doesnt really make that much difference what or who your being vile catty or abusive to......the fact is thats how you really are. Catty, vile and abusive. I cant imagine any of you could explain this behavior to your children. Raising another vile generation one child at a time! You go!
Jolly...I admit that things get silly when silliness is discussed.
But calling people vile for pointing out the ridiculousness of these two characters is a bit much.
The GOP may never see the White House again if this is the best they can offer.
Take shelter Lastskyo, lot of hot air mixing up there, it could be a Trumpnado or develop into a category 0 Saracaine.
LMAO Forrest...what will be really funny is if in the coming Hurricane season we get a Don or a Sarah crashing into our shores..........hold the press it's already happened
Sarah and The Donald having a strategy meeting?
Trying to decide will be vice president?
Tough call!
Donald Trump and Sarah Palin ate pizza together in New York city. For the life of me, I do not understand why anyone would give a damn. Neither will ever rise to any level of defined mediocrity.
Well I am glad you got a chuckle Lastskyo, Ironicoldsoul supports a party that would squeeze every last nickle out of an aging Veteran like himself, along with the sick, the poor and all the rest of the real Americans they claim to care about all the while lavishing extra wealth on the already extremely wealthy. They hold up aid for Tornado victims, they threaten the US's credit rating if they don't get their way on a plan their own constituents say they don't want. Finally they insult us by telling us the oil companies need billions in subsidies (to encourage them to stay in the oil business) and that screwing old and sick people is actually quite courageous of them, and we should be grateful for their bravery. But Ironicoldsoul thinks my silly joke was vile and disgusting and that it will taint our children and grandchildren for generations to come.
Who knew the CIRCUS was in NY tonight, and who let the clowns out in public?? leave her off the news for a night and then ask, WHO?? jeeezz, that woman is stupid and her husband dresses her funny... TEA Party + Republican Party = Tax Evading Americans Party
IT"S TRULY AMAZING--- How a non- factor can get you ALL so revved. So much as to get you to lie, argue,make up names , attack her kids, find yourselves green with envy, make asses of yourselves,create ludicrous scenarios, for someone who can't win the republican nomination.
I've seen people on here ask why would they waste time putting her on FR.....this is why. You all are consumed by her every move whether you love her or hate her. I find it funny you can have such detest for someone you don't know.
SHE IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, she has all of you hanging on every word though. Truly Amazing. Find somebody worth your time and effort to ridicule, make sh** up about, type it on here as if it were the truth.
I did enjoy the sh** out of You're fired/ I quit though.
I like sarah and don does this make me a bad girl?
time - she's going to run. Now let us all plug our ears for the most vile attacks ever known in presidential politics.
Time4 you answered your own question, we do it for the enjoyment, glad your were able to enjoy it a little bit "also too"! HA you can't hardly stop once you get started. Besides they don't care, they don't take themselves seriously, they know they make a darn good living making a spectacle of themselves. This comes with the territory.
christ on a biscuit! LOL!! that's probably the best bumper sticker i've seen in years...
what a perfect summary of the GOP!
Ozzie boy, how could you characterized a guy who cannot complete a coherent speech without the use of a teleprompter as intelligent? BO may be a good politician and an expert in rhetoric, but as a leader he is quite possibly more inept than Woodrow Wilson! And Wilson never had a teleprompter to cover up his inability to remember a topic! Trump and Palin could each run circles around Obama in a debate and not get winded. And they aren't even the best the Republicans will have when the time comes.
Obama's record for the last 30 plus months is a hurdle he can not jump over in a reelection bid. How many uniformed voters can Acorn find this time? Not many....
DB AKRON she wont run ,she's not too smart but she knows she can't get out of the repub primary. She should run her 15 mins. is just about up. I think this bus tour and one more book then she becomes a trivia question/answer.
BTW don't you have enough to worry about in Akron. Maybe the Obamas will swing through so they can lecture you on how to live your lives.
Hillary 2012
@Really? Seriously?: As I understand it, she can't be paid by networks while she is running for President because it is considered a campaign contribution. And since all Sarah Palin cares about is money and being a political celebrity, she won't run. Her latest publicity stunts are just so she will be relevant (<---- tounge planted firmly in cheek) to get paid to comment about those who do run. I'd personally be just fine not having to listen to her crap ever again.
If America had a big "inflammatory / no value" button to push everytime she spoke, she wouldn't last 5 minutes.
Hey Time4
I do know her personally, grew up with her. She used to babysit my little sister's.....SO LISTEN CLOSELY>>NOT INTELLECTUALLY ABLE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.
As much as I like the city of New York, for one night the cumulative IQ of an entire city suffered a sizable decrease, while also suffering a major increase in hair spray pollution.
Hollywood, and for that matter DC is filled with empty headed do-nothings making far more money than they are worth. I wonder why Feisty and all the others care so much about one more family cashing in on their fame?
This isn't rocket science kids, its fame 101.
Why it bothers you all so much speak to your issues, not the Palin's.
What should worry you is our trillion dollar president and Congress, all of Congress, filled with fools and charlatans fleecing us in trillion dollar increments.
Weiner gate has been solved.
Weiner did send the dic-pc to the lovely young co-ed
But it was a picture of Brietbart's unit.
Oh My. Hacked/Pranked. Maybe he can by TIFFANY'S ON HIS WAY HOME TONIGHT?
Was there a point to this?
PLEASE, DON'T LET THEM BREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she was auditioning for the apprentice ... any thing for a buck... wonder whos campaign paid for the pizza
Pizza? I would have thought Palin and Trump would be feeding on the still beating, freshly ripped out hearts of middle class Americans...? Laughing as they chew, and swapping stories about how many millions each is milking from people who can no longer afford to put they're children through college without incurring massive debt... Smiling as they wipe the blood from their mouths, and comment on how much tastier the hearts of the middle class becomes, as it grows closer to extinction...
The death of the American dream comes by not one, but by many assassins in this doomed generation...
And these two soul-less, money whoreing, vampires are counted among them.
What? Trump couldn't get enough "Wink! Wink!"? He had to meet in person? For $omething special?
The ultimate embarrassment of politics is the rise of this woman. Question: why does one purchase a luxury bus to cruise around the nation in? I thought her upbringing was modest. I guess seven digits in her lifestyle changed her. And, how is it that her kids are always around? Don't they have school to attend?
I thought her photo ops with the foreign heads of state weren't for Christmas cards.
Bookends!
I was thinking more like matching doorknobs.
I bet they are planning an independent run so they can CONTROL the message.
Problem is, it is a message no one wants to hear and even RIGHT minded folk are running from.
Both of these charlatans are pretenders to the POTUS. Serious only when the attention begins to wane and then they both jump into view of the nearest camera and start blathering lies into the lens hoping that someone will be thick headed enough not to know they haven't a clue what to do with the mess we call our current economy that was a gift from our last GOP president.
Meet indeed! Dine? They'll need a full stomach to launch their nacent campaign of lies and distraction. Maybe the Trumpster will be backing a Palin campaign in hopes to get the VP slot since he fouled out on his initial presidential outing.
The "blind leading the blind will all fall in the ditch together" where they belong. Bible.
Look out, Democrats. The Republican brain truss is meeting to solve all our problems. Laughable!
wow, Palin was just on Greta's show for 28 minutes and never took a breath. The stuff coming out of her mouth was like listening to a 10 year old who just came out of a history class and all hyper. Nothing made a lick of sense.
They would cut to Greta and the look on her face was priceless.
She kept telling Greta that she wasn't going to talk to the mainstream media as she doesn't owe them anything. So Fox is fair & balanced and has the highest ratings of any news program on TV.
So after a 28 minute interview (less commercials) she is basiclly telling Greta that Fox is not mainstream. And they pay her ................. ha.
But Palin was correct about Fox, it's rightstream and yes msnbc is leftstream.
technically The Daily Show is Faux News, too - Self Admitted; but they now are the NUMBER 1 Cable News Show:

Good times!
Wow, combover VS do over!
Would that be hairbrained, harebrained, hairbraindead or harebraindead?
starclassic
You forgot about the waiter Newt Legover.
Typical liberal tactics.... why bother with truth if it doesn't suit your agenda.... the fallback position is always smear and slander! And liberals are experts at that.... lmfao!
Feisty. If Palin and Trump are media whores then that would make MSNBC, Fox, ABC et al; their pimps. And by logical extension, the public, (us included), their Johns. Right? Just sayin.
YeS! Just Sayin ~
Torpedo, you are exactly right. Don't even know if you are left or right, but I would guess 80% of the publicity these freaks receive is justified because the public feeds on this type of thing. Same as the Charlie Sheen crash show. I keep saying if we all ignored this trash, they just might go away.. but alas, that will never happen.
Unfortunately way too true. Why oh why, do we (the general public) keep giving these twits a reason to be front and center? Why do we watch with such intensity as if we were waiting for the train to wreck? They so deserve each other - but, unfortunately, we deserve what we get because it is apparently what we want. If I never saw or heard Sarah and her entire family, Donald Trump, or serial-cheater Newt again, I would die a happy person. As it is, I watch and cringe and roll my eyes a LOT.
Unfortinatly true.
Palin is the political world's version of Kathy Griffin! Strictly D list. (Sorry, Kathy)
AMY B ---Truer word have not been spoken,yet some how people flock to them.
Who's the waiter gonna be...Sean Hannity!
My money's on Gingrich!
rush limpball
Wouldn't it be great if they did a pay per view?
Would never happen. First, no one would pay to hear or see these two in this context.
Second they have nothing of interest or importance to say. Just 24/7 drama to attract attention and make money.
Palin/Trump 2012 just won't sell. Period.
I still think they THINK they can win though. Trump's arrogance and Palin's cluelessness is a perfect match to earn Trump his FINAL bankruptcy.
Palin/Trump 2012 will not sell.
You're missing the point, I fear. These manipulators know their audience and it's mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, brain-dead right wing wackos who thrive on lies, ignorance, and bigotry. The fact that the media indulges this bs would be predicted from the Jersey shore, housewives and other dumbing down entertainment. Morons will rule the USA in time.
Morons will rule the USA in time.
I thought we were already there. . . Obama doesn't stand a chance with the nut jobs he has to work with in the Senate and House - who are. . .yep, Republicans who would rather die than admit that Obama may be right at least some of the time.
Trump to Palin: "You're Fired!"
But she's been unemployed for 3 years. More like, their egos will suck all the oxygen out of the room and Melania and Todd will barely escape with their lives.
Palin to Trump, " You can't fire me,,,,,,,,,,,,,I QUIT"
KOLEE she is staying unemployed to keep the unemployment #'s up around 9 1/2%. It's her strategy!!
Oh what I would give to be waiting on THAT table.
charleyb
Snag is your tip is likely to be four-fifths of five-eights of f. a.
Manna from heaven for FR!
You guys must be salivating like Pavlov"s doggie bag at the prospect. Palin and Trump? I see 1,000 post threads ahead...all amounting to nothing, but the amusement quotient should be high, if nothing else....
That's just it, Dangerfield, there is nothing else.
Wow! There's a match made in hell!
birds of a feather flock together.....did I get the right f... ?
almost.
when it comes to these two, it's: turds of a feather...
I can't get away from this person. She moves to AZ so we move to NY. Now shes here fouling up the air! Go away!
Surely Trumpty Dumpty will remember to ask her for her birth certificate?
Yeah, maybe he should ask for a peek at her college transcript(s), too. He won't see too many vowels unless she offered to get 'porked' fer 'em.
Will he ask Tina Fey to come to?
Might I suggest the cucumber salad for two, flown in fresh from Europe?
a little fecal related E-coli for the road? goes great with motorcycles.
loser + loser=loser
Let's take bets! Mine is he'll offer her a big buck job, if she doesn't run. At least, if he cares about the country he'll do that/ Then he can take credit for her quitting.......again!
Or maybe he's trying to talk her into the next "celebrity apprentice"!
Trading tips on fake campaigns
Dumb and Dumberer
This one is known as the horrible sequel.
oh, lord...
the vacuum created by the lack of intelligence and integrity might suck the whole block into a black hole.
MAybe someone will bomb the meeting and will be rid of two @!$%#s. The world would be a better place without the likes of Palin the Pretender' and 'Donald the Blowhard'.
A meeting of the minds ... smh
I am pretty, oh so pretty and so pretty and media whoooooore..... La la la la la la la la la la....
These people made a circus out of America. La la la la la ala la lala
talk about the re-make of dumb and dumber. Just hard to tell which is which.
