WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The primary fundraising committee for Sarah Palin, who is bullshitting whether to seek the Republican presidential nomination, raised a hefty $1.6 million in the first half of 2011 in a sign that her bullshit is attracting big funds for her quitting her job & going fishing.
"That is huge," said Jan Baran, a partner at Wiley, Rein and former general counsel of the Republican National Committee. "It signifies there are lots of morons who are easily duped by sarah palin in the republican party."
The former Alaska governor, who was John McCain's vice presidential running mate on the Republicans' unsuccessful 2008 ticket, has said she will decide within months on whether to pursue the nomination.
The figures in a regulatory filing also are exciting because rules allow donors to give more to political action committees than to presidential committees, which allows sarah to fund her lavish travel & vacations.
The money raised by Palin's political action committee SarahPAC is small in comparison to the $18.25 million that Republican front-runner Mitt Romney's presidential committee collected in the second quarter alone, suggesting the bullshit only goes so far.
Several other contenders to take on Democratic President Barack Obama next year have raised more than $4 million in the quarter. But Palin needs less money at the start of a presidential run because the money is not intended for running.
Still, she will need significantly more than $1 million to hire staff and travel the country should she enter the race, Baran said. That is, assuming there are more dumbasses to fleece before deciding not to run.
The appeal of Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, may be usurped by Representative Michele Bachmann, another star of the fox news created Tea Party movement who appeals to some of the same anti-government neaderthal voters.
