Get ready everyone for Kookapocalypse Now! Well, OK, not now. Actually, April 7. That’s when former Governor, former VP candidate, and current Queen of the Tea Baggers Sarah Palin will host a fundraiserfor Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann. Yup. That’s right. Palin and Bachmann will be together in the same room. Physicists at CERN are concerned that the extreme concentration of what they refer to as “Batsh!t Crazy” (their words, not mine) in one place could cause irreparable damage to the space-time continuum. On the other hand, it’s possible I made that last part up.
The rest of it, however, is frighteningly, but fascinatingly, true. As a matter of fact, not only can you attend the dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis for the low price of only $500 (or $5000 for a table of ten), you can also have a “Private Reception with Photo Opportunity”. This would take place in the Champagne Room at the same event and could be yours for only $10,000. In all fairness, the $10,000 price is for a couple, and does include the dinner. So you got that goin’ for you.
If you don’t have $10k laying around to blow on a snapshot, you can visit this site hosted by Tarryl Clark, Bachmann’s Democratic opponent. At the cleverly-named mytengrandphoto.com, you can create your own picture with Bachmann, Palin, or both. This way, you can have your own budget-conscious way to commemorate the Kookapocalypse. (Also, I dare you to say “Kookapocalypse” out loud without smiling.)
