MISSOULA, Mont. – Officials with a faith-based addiction recovery group say former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is coming to Missoula in September to fire up a fundraising campaign.
Teen Challenge Montana offers a residential program designed to help women give up drugs and alcohol to lead healthier lives.
Executive Director Jan Henderson says she met Palin during a book signing event in Billings, and asked her to speak in Missoula at a fundraiser for Teen Challenge.
Henderson says Palin agreed, and is slated to speak on Sept. 12 in Missoula. The group is selling tickets for the event for $100.

Why do we care what she’s doing…. Didn’t she trash Juneau in her book? Juneau Empire should stop printing anything about her and her family I for one don’t care! (( Would use more explicative words to express my hatred for her if I was allowed LOL ))

Yes, let’s do some investigative reporting and find out how much of the money is going to Palin, and how much is going to assist the needy. And while we’re at it, let’s get more background on what the Teen Challenge program is.

Here’s an excerpt from her upcoming speech which leaked out:
I am so happy here to be in Montana, home of Hannah as well as many other god-fearing conservative republicans like me. Hey, did ya know that Montana spelled backwards kinda sounds like, oh, I dunno, Anantom? Isn’t that clever of me? (wink)(boob bounce). But, ya shouldn’t do backwards things too often, because that’s the work of Satan and he’s a homosexual. I learned that one time when I was watching South Park with Trig in the Governor’s office when I was governor of Alaska until the godless liberals of Juneau made me quit.
I applaud the work of this christian-based group, which promotes the traditional role of women to be barefoot and pregnant in every kitchen across this great nation because that’s what Jesus intended for us all, except me of course because I was Governor once and that’s different because a lot of things don’t apply to me because I’m special (thumbs up) and so should you because the drill baby drill for America’s tax cuts needs the support of the Alaskan grizzly economy of icebergs and moose babies to become all they could before it wasn’t, also then some more for the other troops with white people with my salad of words and so should you in the sense that the first one didn’t because of the other by the boob of life and Todd’s DUI.
Thank you Wyoming, er, uh, Montana (wink), I love yewww. Buy my book or the homosexuals and Satan win!

Nice to see you stay at home moms have this much time to put in to these well thought out and intelligent responses – or are you doing this at work – or perhaps you are unemployed because Obama is doing such a great job managing the economy? You especially Porupine Kisser. Isn’t that the clothes dryer buzzer?

I had a funny thought of what a faith based addiction is. Care to guess?

dakotaMAN – guess you had to add that last part so we wouldn’t think you were also one of those lazy, shiftless stay-at-home moms huh?

You’re jealous dakota. I am witty. And unlike you, I don’t have mommy issues. I fully applaud all the women out there who chose to be homemakers.
p.s. I am employed and typed that on my lunch hour.
