(Newser) – A speech Sarah Palin plans for later this month in Hong Kong won’t leave the room, CNN reports. Not only will reporters not be allowed in, but they won’t even know what they’re missing. “We are not disclosing the topic of Sarah Palin's presentation at this point,” says a rep for the 4-day event. As for the former Alaska governor's fee, rumored to top six figures, mum's the word. “We never disclose if, or how much, our speakers are remunerated,” says the spokeswoman.

Well, you watched Tina Fey and ergo you believe that Palin made the comment. She never said it. Watch How Obama won the election and Palin was smeared. John Zeigler (I may have messed up the title) to see how the press vilified her which caused the public to see her negatively. Actually, however, one can see Russia from Alaska - it is only 30 miles. That is why Alaska is the only state with a National Guard charged with protecting the US from foreign aggression.

She's apparently the headliner at a MILF convention in HK. Why wouldn't you expect closed doors...?!!
