Army asks Palin not to give speech at book signing



What a fracking boondoogle. Why didn't someone think this thru before they (rather uniquely) approved it? First they worried about the crowds (which I'm sure could still be a problem), and now they're worried what Caribou Barbie will say. Easy way to fix it. (PS- The video is priceless)

FORT BRAGG, N.C.—Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin promises to limit her enthusiasm during her visit to North Carolina's Fort Bragg.

The former Republican vice presidential candidate planned to sign copies of her new memoir at a post store Monday. Army officials say Palin will not make a speech, pose for photos, or personalize notes in the books she signs.

The Army worried Palin's appearance would prompt political grandstanding against President Barack Obama. That fear initially led post commanders to keep news organizations from covering Palin's appearance, though the restrictions were later dropped.

Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum tells WTVD-TV that sales of Palin's book at the post store have been weak so far.
