Subscribe to RSSThe search is on for the could-be-candidate who says she is not campaigning, but nobody knows for sure where Sarah Palin might turn up next. NBC's Mike Taibbi reports.
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.

Nobodies on Newsvine want to rip these people who are obviously successful at something, be it business, politics, entertainment, or whatever. They've made it to a place where people pay attention. And let's be honest, NOT because we're watching a train wreck. These are people who have made successful decisions to get them where they are. Anyone of them could be President of the United States. President Obama had accomplished very little outside of academics until he was elected President. Quite the accomplish, Yes, but an anomaly. In all logical thinking, Barack Husein Obama should never have become President of the United States. At least all of the candidates on the Republican side have accomplished something positive and lasting. Everyone of them has more qualified experience today than Obama did when he took the job. If you're going to argue against a candidate, or all of them at once, at least argue intelligently and break down policy differences instead of making references to hair and Media whore's.
J is K
Let's see, Obama has been the prez now going on 3 years. Can we not move on to other arguments about how you folks seem to believe he's not qualified? He's doing pretty good. Brought us back from a near depression, got us out of Iraq (and soon to be out of Afghanistan), and nailed UBL. You tipped your hand on your true feelings about him by breakin' out the "Hussein" reference.
Jord ... hey ... I agree ... Palin is a Skank!
@Idaho -- when did we get out of Iraq??? Did I miss something??? Ticker Tape parades??? Tearful homecomings??? I thought we were still there.
Also, what's your definition of "soon to be out of"? Just asking.
At least Obama got Osama!!! It took Bush 8 years and 2 wars and he STILL could do it!! Obama did it in less than 2 years!! If Bush had the Intel how come he wasn't man enough to give to order??? I guess republicans are really cowards who talk tough but don't have the guts to make the call. It took a Democrat to make the order!!
"These are people who have made successful decisions to get them where they are."
Well there's a weak endorsement that could apply to anyone. Do you mean like (she) made big decision to quit the govenorship she campaigned & swore to serve? Or (he) Filed for bankruptcies & divorces and depite that being a blowhard critic devoid of ideas and is a hypocritical jack***?
"They've made it to a place where people pay attention."
So does a skunk wherver it roams.
Yes, he got UBL. But your comparison of years is a non-player since they are still rounding up German war criminals from WWII to this day. I'd say that commitment. Clinton had the intel and didn't make the call -- remember that? You might say Obama was just using all the intelligence and most of the same people Bush had on his staff to get UBL.
Jordan,
Trump is busy lending his name to failed real estate ventures and Palin quit before her first term was even completed... so what success are you talking about???
Ben ... in case you have forgotten ... as have many ... it was under the watch of Bush/Cheney that we had 9/11. ... and this was after a direct warning from the Clinton team!!!
To all who Hate - Successful people make a number of mistakes along the way. This is why None of the MOST qualified want to run. Look at Romney... probably a candidate to be a very good President. All anyone latches on to is Romney Care. No other criticisms or acknowledgments are brought forth because the critics don't need too. It's a pathetic way to do a talent search. Why do CEO's, Head Coaches, and others at the top of their game get rehired in the private sector after being fired for something gone wrong? Because they're good, they performed once and they're going to perform again. Companies hire the best performers. That's what we need to do and stop being a bunch of arm chair nilly's.
Idaho SPUD---More soldiers have now died under Obama's watch in Afghanistan than under Bush. Our economy still sucks, he didn't put us there but hasn't made it better, it's worse. He did get UBL and did a masterful job.
ZORROACA---Warnings have been coming across the the Preidents desk for years NOBODY thought it would actually happen here. Bush was barely in office this was planned way before he came into power. Not to mention the World Trade Center was attacked before BUsh was President, so was the U.S.S. Cole. Don't blame the Presidents for the acts of a Mad Man.
Just so you know I voted for Clinton twice, Bush Zero, Obama once and it will be only once.
Not a lot of posts, but, then, what can one say about this? It's too easy.
What do you expect. It is the third story on her this bottom feeding network has put on here today.
So which one is getting paid to do this.
Maybe he's auditioning her for Celebrity Apprentice. Of course, she'd be the first one fired! That is if she didn't quit before the first task is completed. lol
HA HA! you are probably right!
Ménage à trois ?
Who knows? She does have a "Fire in the belly"
Oh , Thank all that's holy, I'm so relieved, I thought they were dining on NYC rather than in it (Sorry, Pops, false alarm, you can stand down). I need to get new glasses.
If that thing doesn't jump off his head and bite her ... I will be very disappointed!
What's the old saying "Birds of a feather".
it is amazing that most people think that Trump and Palin do not have a chance, tells me that most people have no clue at all!
Just wait and see this ticket will bring the real issues on the table instead of all the b.s. the other candidates are talking about. It is great to see this happen and wish them all the votes if they are in the elections. We need real people to bring this country back not another politician that does not care, other than their own legacy.
Obviously you must have been on another planet. Trump publically announced that he is not running. I will repeat. Trump is not running. As for Palin, she's all talk. She is not running. She still has her job with Faux News and they have no plans ending her contract.
Dutch ... you say "instead of all the b.s." and we are talking about these two? ... are you kidding or just an idiot?
"Just wait"?
Just don't hold your breath waiting (more) fella
Dutch, I hope Trump does run!! He is "Pro-choice", he said he thought Obamacare is good for the country, and he said he thought Obama was doing a great job!! He also supported putting limits on executive pay!! So I think it would be great if he ran as a republican!!
@Jordan, ok good point. So what are Sarah Palin's qualifications? Quitting the Governorship of our least populated state because it was too hard? And I guess Trump's is using fraudulent means to drive companies into bankruptcy so he can pick them up for a song, courtesy of the taxpayer?
Dumb and Dumber. I hope these two media whores are meeting to plan their run for Pres/VP 2012.
God, what table could be big enough for those two egos at the same time. Besides, they are both so full of it the conversation will never end.
Oh, innat cute? They must've been swapping notes on how to most efficiently use TV to fleece idiots!
Birds of a feather flock together
OMG!! Glad I am not in NYC
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let them run on the p and VP ticket.
Signed, A. Democrat
I agree. I really, really, really, hope that the Republican party puts them on the ticket...or either one of them. It will be the end of anyone taking the Republican's seriously. Then we can move on to a better political system without the "celebrity party."
Anyone else notice for days now all MSNBC seems to be doing is promoting Sara the Talking Head Palin.
Wow three out of six Political Stories on the front page?
Hmm THEM couldn't be to trying to distract US from the Real GOP Front Runners could THEM?
Well it won't work...didn't work in 2010 & 2011 and won't work in 2012.
Ron Paul and Ralph Nader are the ONLY canidates who can beat No Change Obama in 2012........even CNN says so!
So either Campaign for Barry & Sleepy Joe or for Ron & Ralph........the rest of this is just more Corporate NOISE!
There Ain't Much Time Left To Choose so Spread The WORD!
Trumped by truth, Pawlenty to worry about, Palin comparison to reason, Gingrich is, you aren't, Let's go Bachmann to the future by rewriting the past, Paul, need I say more?,Perry down the union one state at a time, Cain another brother get a break? I'll serve pizza, Let's get Bushed again, I'm not even going there with the google his name guy......the Huntsman to the rescue?....
disclaimer - the above is intended to be satirical political humor directed at public figures.
Is it possible to think any less of the Republican Party?
Not exactly a foursome -- Totem Pole Todd speaks in monosylables and I don't think Melania speaks at all! I guess with that brain trust of Bible Spice and Guppy Lips providing all the conversation, they can just sip soup!
I'd like to see Chef Ramsay serve them and tell Palin what a bitch she is and tell Trump to take that hideous thing off his head!
The Dream Team!
Why is this news?
Ah, a meeting of the megalomaniac and the moron. Should be an interesting conversation.
I don't have to be filthy rich to recognize an idiot when I hear one (trump), or have a Phd to recognize a bimbo (palin). If this is what the far right, teabaggers, rush limbaugh, glen beck orgasm over I'm positive I'll vote Democrat.
Profoundly Stupid and Profoundly Narcissistic meeting for dinner at what historical site??? Trump Tower???
Did not see that in any of my American History books! Did any of you?
Stupid medias
Stop bitching about it, if you keep talking about her.
All this this chic wants and looking for is publicity and you FALL for it.
Idiots
