Once Sarah Yearned for Glimpse of Ivana: Now she’s got Donald in her lap//UPDATE: with all the great pizzerias in NYC to choose from, Sarah and Trump eat HERE???


 

As I write in THE ROGUE:

In 1996,

Sarah was getting so antsy that one day in early April she actually drove to Anchorage just for a glimpse of Ivana Trump. She told Todd she was going to Costco to buy groceries. Instead, she went to J.C. Penney to see Ivana, who was peddling a line of perfume. She told the Anchorage Daily News that she was simply the wife of a commercial fisherman and she’d come to see Ivana “because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture.”

Well, over the intervening fifteen years, hasn’t the country mouse turned into a city mouse!

 

 

No longer having to stand in a crowd at J.C. Penney in Anchorage, hoping for a whiff of Ivana’s perfume, Sarah now gets to sniff Donald’s aftershave up close, as worldwide media press their noses up against the glass, begging for a crumb from the royal table.

 

Hell, she’s not just the city mouse:  she’s The Mouse that Roared.

 

 

 

 

 

And no matter how miserable poor little Piper might be, (like, does anybody think an Alaskan ten-year old actually enjoys posing for pictures with Donald Trump?) Sarah will go to sleep tonight feeling less like any sort of mouse than like the cat that ate the canary.

And why not? The harder she hits them, the more MSM begs for more.

UPDATE:

Never thought I’d actually write or say “gag me with a spoon,” but in a city with the most first-rate pizza restaurants in the U.S., Sarah and Trump go here?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why didn’t they just have Domino’s deliver?

p.s. Does anybody want to suggest a caption to go with this pic, based on what Trump is saying to her as he eats cruddy chain store pizza with a fork?  (Looks like Sarah wanted chopsticks.)

    Gross, two overhyped wig wearing egomaniacal media whores. Why is Piper in every picture. Seems like at every stop Sarahs made so far her only supporters are her family and the pathetic press pool following her. Nobody else seems to give a shit. Sarah was practically begging the little girl outside the hotel in Gettysburg to let her giver her an autograph.

  • anAlaskanAlsoII:

    For a mouse to have successfully roared, I believe that mouse would have to have the nerve, the guts and the audacity to face the public and the press with no holds barred.

    Won’t happen.

    Piper, her shield du jour (on this tour) guarantees that. She’s just a squirmish rodent.

  • grammy97:

    Delightful! The Mouse That Roared was so long ago, I had forgotten it. Too bad there’s no hope that this notorious rodent-woman will be as wise as the ‘mouse’ in that old book.

  • Lisabeth:

    Ok I’m getting very irked now! Even Rachel Maddow is covering Sarah tonight. And she made it sound like Sarahs approach will be the new standard for conservative candidates. Maybe I read it wrong- if anyone watched feel free to correct me! But I was very disappointed. Why can’t the media come out and say how silly this is that Americans would consider her a candidate. She quit her job! She can’t even talk in complete sentences. Yet the Fox news watchers are literally brainwashed to ONLY believe them. Everyone else lies. They believe this- look at Sarahs fans who post here- they honestly believe that Sarah left her governor job because of Democratic frivolous ethics complaints. They don’t even know or care that she’s a pathologic liar. Well how would they if they only watch Fox. Really scary!
    And poor Piper, she looks miserable. That little girl is missing her childhood and it looks like she’s getting more vocal about it. Sad.

  • Alaskan:

    SWEEEEET! Sarah Palin on the next Celebrity Apprentice! YAYYYY!
    I didn’t watch Dancing with the Stars, but I will SO watch this!

    I had a great time last month with LaToya Jackson, Meatloaf and Gary Busey shenanigans. Never watched before, don’t plan to again. Unless they get Sarah Palin. Or Todd.

    Mr. Trump, Move That Bus!

  • CMG:

    The down-market chain pizza place was “carefully” chosen to show they are Not!Really! filthy rich people, but just your basic Reul Amerik’ns eatin’ out at the corner pie place.

    They’ll take a few bites, make sure the press gets plenty of photos and hightail it back to the Donald’s penthouse to wash their hands in gold plated sinks while the hired help holds the $100 hand towels for them.

    $arah is in hog heaven right about now. It’s her grifter dreams coming true…

  • Don'tHatetheGame:

    I hope someone is quietly following her and can show the actual “mobs” that she is attracting. So far, it looks like more paparazzi than fans.

  • guest:

    I know, right? With about 30 retainers all gathered outside and just outside of the camera frame.
    I hope they bought _all_ of the servants a slice of pizza and a soda, and didn’t just sit there eating in front of them…

  • Jewels:

    The ‘pizzeria’ is in Times Square — isn’t that we’re everyone would go on their “It’s Not About Me” Tour?

    The Donald to the Sarah: “Now listen to me, I would be president not you, wait your turn, biatch.”

  • Freesia:

    My first thought was that he is indicating to her that he knows a low class grifter when he saw one, because he sees one every day in the mirror. And then I thought it was her idea so that that pathetic press following her bus in a great big convoy (“10-40 Rubber Duckie!”) so she could go out and talk about how “she just loves that rill American food offa paper plates – made by those “rill” Americans like Koch who’ve made millions and billions offa paper products in an example of American Exceptionalism and vote buyin’ – and in Alaaaskaaa she has to go up to the wilderness to hunt down that pepperoni (which her dad taught her to do and she is just so grateful) and eatin’ it has given her children common sense conservative values – oh! and also. Too – the strength to work her security detail and knock the microphones of the press who came to cover her eatin’ that rill American food. Too”.

    Caption? Sure.

    “It’s okay. I spoke to Todd. I’ll donate $2 million to your campaign if you’ll eat the pizza off my belly button. Toad’s cool.”.

  • Mary:

    My suggestion for a caption for that last photo: “Asshole contest! Go!”

    And neither of them is listening to the other. Just spouting whatever assholic (yeah, Palin brings out the fake word creator in me) nonsense he/she is inspired to spout.

    Sarah “Constitutional conservative tour family vacation teachin’ the lamestream media how to look for the whos & the wheres and shoppin’ and spending those American dollars to get that economy goin’ and seein’ the history that the great Americans hold so dear to their brave combat vets oversees protectin’ the freedoms and the markets that call for freedom and….”
    Donald “Who designed that fucking bus”

  • KB2:

    The “Carnival Barker Twins.” I have nothing else to add 🙂

  • wavelength:

    My guess is that Donald was certain there would be press, but he sure didn’t want pics of him with her in any upscale restaurant. I wonder why Todd and Bristol had to miss this party?

    Dumb & Dumber – Part 2, 3, 4 & 5

  • Freesia:

    Do you like Edith Wharton, Mr. McGinnis? In my opinion one of the best writers of social commentary (right up there with Steinbeck)….ever. Everybody knows her usually for “Age of Innocence” (for which she deserves to be remembered) but her quiet novelettes are just as good. “Ethan Frome”. But also, and what that picture made me think of, “A Lost Lady”. Have you read it? You’ve probably read everything.

    In a “Lost Lady” an optimistic young man practically worshiped a certain Mrs. Forester. Til she made a cheap grasp for what she wanted, no matter how low she had to go, and revealed herself for the low class creature she actually was. His heart just about broke watching her .

    The thing that suddenly popped into my head, looking at the picture, was from that book where the narrator – the young man – glanced through a window to see a really cheap and vicious man (a man who thought it was fun to blind birds) standing at the window with his arms around the Lady who was content to let him. Smiling. And the narrator realized that he was looking at a “common man, who knew a common woman when he saw one”.

    I’m looking at a common man who knows a common woman when he sees one.

  • GypsyGirl:

    Well I’m just glad that Trump didn’t take Tundra Tessie to John’s on Bleecker. HAHAhahahaha!

    And doesn’t that dip-stick know –ya don’t wear PALE PINK when eating pizza!

    JeezLouise is this nitwit that dense?

  • ForeverAnonymous:

    “She told the Anchorage Daily News that she was simply the wife of a commercial fisherman and she’d come to see Ivana “because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture.””

    ..She thinks so little of Alaska, that she thought she got what Katie Couric was getting at by asking what she read.

    Photo caption: Well, don’t worry, we’ll split the bill for this one!

  • 2012???:

    The problem with being born rich is that you learn such foolish customs like you have to use a knife and fork with everything you eat. Trump using a fork to eat PIZZA only validates why he would never be president. He could never relate to the peasants. As for Palin, her use of an unknown object (probably a fork) only shows how phony she is. She was born poor and I’m sure she and the rest of the Palin klan eat pizza with their hands yet she wants to show that she can fit in Trump’s world. Hope the fork was made of gold.

  • “Hey, I know a guy who can print up whatever you want on a birth certificate.”

  • guest:

    Really really really rich people aren’t taught to eat pizza with a fork, nor fried chicken at a picnic.
    That’s a nouveau riche thing – putting on airs.

  • msf:

    That is some nasty looking pizza. How many hours has Piper been on the campaign trail today & where the hell is the rest of the Palin Family. Just for comparison…let’s just image that Obama decided to take his girls out for a photo op & seemed to forget they were with him. Walking ahead of them, letting “fans” take pictures with you & standing in front of the children. Showing absolutely no paternal instinct & feeding your narcissistic needs. I’m beginning to think Piper might be our secret weapon. Yes, Piper’s anger really illustrates Sarah’s inadequate parenting skills & lack of empathy for her daughter. It reminds me of Lucy & Charlie Brown…every damn time she promises she’ll hold the football & she disappoints him every time. Sorry Piper.

  • caption: Racebaiters R Us

  • Sue:

    Why is she eating there? She’s trying to convince the country she’s broke because of Obama. She’s using a 10-year-old as her body guard (http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2011/05/piper-diaper-gets-promotion-from-child.html), and she can’t afford gas (http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/06/sarah-palin-defends-bus-tour-says-she-hasnt-moved-to-arizona.html).

    ““We know where we’re going,” she said. “There’s a couple of different reasons why we’re not going to broadcast it to the whole world. One is security issues, but another is if the price of gas climbs much higher, right Todd [referring to her husband who’s traveling with her, Todd Palin], we’re not going to be able to go too far.

  • BfromC:

    I’m guessing this very same 2nd rate pizza chain will be featured on the next Celebrity Apprentice. Trump doesn’t do anything that isn’t calculated merchandizing.

    If only we were through with Sarah’s fantasy presidential run by the time his next show is being filmed and she finds her true calling — being one of his apprentices.

  • FEDUP!!!:

    Somehow, I think The Donald PUNKED her. SHE is the one who wanted to eat pizza, it seems, so he showed her what he thinks of her by choosing that joint (eating on paper plates, drinking from paper cups/cans – THAT is actually WHERE SHE BELONGS!

  • FEDUP!!!:

    Yup! I actually think that he punked her.

  • guest:

    Oh yes please! Honestly with no snark, I think she’d do really well. I think that’s where her real talents are and that she’d probably really enjoy it. She’s doing herself out of a lot of fun and success in some other endeavor – particularly entertainment or being an Evangelical speaker – by this relentless pursuit of politics.
    Your missing it, Sarah!

  • Susan:

    “Donald, can you introduce me to some of the blacks?”

  • Totally off topic…..

    JOHN’S??? ON BLEEKER STREET?????

    I’m from the wilds of British Columbia. I sat there at John’s more than once with tears running down my cheeks, because never had I tasted pizza so good.

    (Wiping a tear even now.) Thanks for the memories.

    Dear God, keep her away from John’s!!!

  • PHO:

    This is too funny. I wasn’t familiar with the name of this pizza place, so I looked up the locations to see if I’d ever eaten there and lo and behold, I ate this terrible pizza for years. The only non-airport, Six Flags or movie theater locations that Famous Familglia has in MA are two of the dining halls at Umass-Amherst. While this crap was free, as part of our meal plans, I would only go near it when I was incredibly hung over and couldn’t make it into town for mexican or real pizza (Antonio’s, anyone) or didn’t have time to wait for anything else.

    One of the dining halls had four different rooms with various foods, including omelets, stir fry, sushi and sandwiches, all of which were made to order. Unfortunately, this pizza was the only thing that never had a line. Our grab and go station with fairly soggy pre-made sandwiches, was a bigger draw.

    This was the perfect place for Trump and Palin to go, as it is a metaphor for their own lives – a lot of hype and oversaturation, but very little substance.

    Incidentally, according to the website, it was on Celebrity Apprentice, so Trump was using Palin to promote his brand, just as much as she was using him for the publicity. I hope they spend the rest of their lives together in low end pizza chains.

  • Tyroanee:

    Trump to Palin:
    “You’re such an evil bitch, I love it!”

    “Ya I know… hey what do ya say about Palin/Trump 2012”
    wink wink

  • jenny:

    Fantastic description of this particular scene. I love Edith Wharton, her short novellas are also wonderful — “Old New York” comes to mind … but, even allowing for the bound-up mores and foibles of the characters in Wharton’s stories, Palin and Trump fall a lot further than any character she Wharton ever created. Palin and Trump are a new breed of character Wharton would be shocked to see on the stage. They are caricatures of themselves, or more explicitly, they are entirely without self-introspection to the point of grotesqueness. Usually this type of character self implodes.

  • jenny:

    So true. Whether one eats pizza with a fork depends on how many generations used that silver spoon.

  • Kimberly:

    I don’t want to give the witch any suggestions but if she wanted to get an outstanding photo-op and a little gift for job well done body checking that reporting yesterday to Piper, why didn’t mommy take Piper to American Girl in New York? Every girls dream is to dine at the American Girl Place, shop, get her photo on a magazine edition in the studio at A.G.

    Now after reading this, Sarah takes Piper, ya know Joe you should submit a bill to SarahPAC for campaign consultant since no way Sarah would have ever considered something nice for Piper on her own.

  • Kristina:

    Doesnt that place have to do with the Apprentice?

  • Kimberly:

    Joe do you have insider information on the content? Anything to get excited about these Emails actually going public?

    The messages are finally now about to be released as the former governor contemplates a bid for the presidency. State officials expect to send the emails to a commercial printer to be copied this week, a process that is estimated to take about four days.

    Copies of the emails will then be shipped in boxes from Juneau to the people and news agencies who requested them, said Linda Perez, Gov. Sean Parnell’s administrative director.

  • Dicer:

    Sarah choose these spots because there will be tourists and of course the band of lamestream media, makes it look as if she has a crowd and the LSM is citing that she does.One thing she is right on. the media is as stupid as she, but she calls the shot.

    No questions about Bailey or Dunn’s books we cannot count on the media,I love the hackers who got into the Fox ticker and we the people are on our own.

  • Mattie:

    does this mean Bristol will be on celebrity apprentice next year, she knows that nobody votes for her right?

  • Kimberly:

    My thoughts, betcha I am right.

    This bus tour nonsense seems as if it was slapped together last minute to put money into the Palin’s bank account before the Alaskan Email’s are to be released. Nothing about this tour is organized. Everything Sarah is saying is proving she is pulling a grab and dash on her donors. Using their personal RV, the family along for the freebies, not caring to try to present Trig in photo op’s, very telling. Sarah did not expect her house in Arizona to be exposed. She expected to be able to hide out there, hide out on Fox, play the victim but to have a hiatus in that way would take some extra funds since speaking engagements have dried up and reality tv bombed no contracts forthcoming.

    Might be wrong but I do not think so. The way the Palin’s are running around the North East with wild abandonment, not caring whatsoever what they spend or how they behave, something is up even for these freaks. Note how Sarah keeps the cameras on her while Todd and daughters are certainly stocking up the RV at local pit stops. No wonder they have to stay in hotels the RV must be about packed by now. With that shrink wrap no one can see the inside full of silk drawers, bendy straws, hotel towels. The entire clan was brought along in one big ass gypsy style raid using SarahPAC funds, I think it is great!!! Here is to hoping her fans send her more gas money. The more Sarah steals, the bigger the federal fine.

  • Lidia17:

    A guy I know, raised in a English “public school” (read private boarding school) eats everything with a knife and fork, including ribs and hamburgers.

  • Olivia:

    She couldn’t possibly go to one of the great pizza places. There might be ethnic type people there.

  • Lidia17:

    Sadly, I don’t see Piper as an “American Girl” fan.
    I see her more in the “Bratz” mold.

  • jk:

    La Palin has horrible taste…in food, in clothing, in politics, in men, and in dinner companions.

  • Anne:

    Bristol will definitly be doing Celebrity Apprentice.

    This pizza gig was pure publicity. No New Yorker eats in Time Square, simply because the food isn’t that good. Of course we have world renowned pizza, tons of them -but not in Time Square.

  • CougInPortland:

    I heard on some show last night that she can use those funds for anything she wants UNTIL she declares. Talk about the reverse Robin Hood!

  • msf:

    Yes, I recall during the last election that the media would announce there was a crowd of 3,000 at a McCain/Palin event when in reality they had bunched together a pathetic little group of about 200. When you buy your media, as has been done in this country, you get folks working for the company not the people & unfortunately looks trump brains these days in the media game. It would be amusing if it wasn’t destroying the country.

  • Kimberly:

    Really. PAC funds can be used for anything eh? Good to know. She will never declare anything then. Another spoof on those little warriors. The Palin’s sure are shilling them for every last drop.

  • lilly lily:

    So they will travel until gas goes up too high in price?

    Who buys this?

    She has made multi millions, in the last two years, has had free 5 star hotel accomadations, gulf stream 1st class travel, and she can’t afford to fill the gas tank on the bus?

    Especially since she is using her bots funds, her own private petty cash millions?

    And her fans buy this poor mouthing garbage?

    As far as Piper being feral? Ya Betcha. Maybe she needs to get her aggressions out on a la Cross field or start a girls hockey team. The Barracuda has taught her a thing or two, as well as her thug father.

  • PascoBill:

    Yep, I love watching an English person eat a chicken drumstick. Or better yet, balancing peas on the back of a fork… has nothing to do with wealth, just which set of table manners they were taught. I couldn’t seem to explain that a fork was meant to have the tines point upward…

  • Jeanabella:

    Yes, I agree with Freesia & jenny, so true!

  • KatieAnnieOakley:

    Why is Piper in just about every photo?

    $arah is in real danger of someone walking up and telling her off / ripping her to shreds; she KNOWS THAT. Having a handy Human Shield / child with her at all times in public is what stops most people from telling $arah EXACTLY what they think of her. Nobody is going to yell at her with one of her children at her side… A true coward.

  • KatieAnnieOakley:

    Another reason why she won’t announce her tour dates is if she wants to quit early, no one will be the wiser.

  • g:

    Palin in an interview babbles something like, “Everyone goes to New York to have pizza with Donald Trump! It’s an institution!”

    Yeah, right.

    What an idiot.

  • carollt:

    That pizza looked terrible; the crust looked soggy. But Sarah recently said she loved Godfather’s pizza (she was speaking about Herman Cain). Next to Godfather’s, that pizza is probably good.

    The Donald put no effort into the meeting. He used her; she used him; they both win and the rest of us lose.

  • KevinNYC:

    There’s also a John’s right near Time Square. Quality New York pizza amid the bad chains of Time Square.
    It’s where I recommend people eat if they have to eat near Times Square and can’t get to 9th ave which has lots of good little restauarants.
