Sarah Palin took on the Washington press, her former running mate, and herself with political one-liners at the Gridiron Club winter meeting.
Referring to her foreign policy comment about seeing Russia from Alaska, the former vice presidential candidate got laughs when she said that coming down from her Washington hotel room, she “could see the Russian Embassy.”
Palin also joked that before settling on “Going Rogue,” she originally thought of titling her book “How To Look Like a Million Bucks For Only $150,000,” in a reference to campaign spending on her wardrobe.
There was also a barb for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign staff, which has criticized her. Palin’s been on a book tour and told the audience the view is “much better from inside the bus than under it.”
As for her media hosts, she said she was glad to appear before a group of intellectuals, “or as I like to call it, a death panel.”
