Rick Perry, corn dog champion ( Iowa Politics )   So Rick Perry caught a big break Tuesday: He took a shellacking from his own party’s establishment for accusing Ben Bernanke of treason and threatening to deliver a Texas-style beatdown should the Fed Chairman ever set foot in the state.

On Thursday, when the time came for independent counsel Timothy Petumenos to give former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin her comeuppance for putting private fund-raising above the public trust, he picked as the venue the “Adventure Room” of the Hotel Captain in Cook in downtown Anchorage.

Pointing to Palin’s lack of expertise on the policy surrounding nuclear weapons, Obama brushed off Palin’s claims that the move would make the U.S. more vulnerable. “I really have no response. Because last I checked, Sarah Palin’s not much of an expert on nuclear issues,” Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos .

UNITED NATIONS - It took a while for the United Nations to acknowledge errors by its Nobel-prize winning climate panel and order an independent review. But the study will not tackle past mistakes and probably will not change the minds of skeptics or Americans in a Luddite mode — despite overwhelming evidence from an overwhelming number of scientists that global warming is largely man-made. After ignoring negative disclosures, a spokesman for the U.N.

Sarah Palin recently nabbed the spotlight in another news cycle regarding her upcoming speech at the National Tea Party Convention. Politico reported that the ex-Governor rakes in “$100,000 for each speech she delivers, though she gives a $75,000 discount for West Coast appearances,&#8221 and has “reportedly waived her fee for speaking at some charitable events.&#8221. That’s some serious cash for the raging populist from Alaska.
