… might not exactly be the adventure she was looking for. Because sometimes even Hong Kong investment firms need comic relief.
- 9/1/09. “Hong Kong Broker Pulling A ‘Borat’ On Sarah Palin” by Vincent Fernando (The Business Insider: Clusterstock blog).
Update: One has begun to wonder if Hong Kong investment brokers wear pajamas and live in their mother’s basements.
Update 2: For other (& longer) takes on this item from people who blog more extensively about Palin than I do, I recommend:
- 9/1/09. “Palin’s Been Punked?” by AK Muckracker (The Mudflats). AK Muckraker also has a poll on whether Palin will actually do the speech.
- 9/1/09. “Palin Punked?” by Shannyn Moore (Just a Girl from Homer).

I wonder if she will turn down the cash and back out OR get indignant and do the speech to prove them wrong? Lord, I do hope it’s the latter.
I mean if CLSA were serious about having a knowledgeable business professional, why not invite Romney?
I just updated the post to provide links to Mudlfats and Shannyn Moore’s blog about this — both of them blog much more extensively about Palin than I do. (I mostly just add humor items now & then, other than the several pieces of analysis of her 2 million dollar ethics meme in early July). The overriding belief, which I share, is that she’ll probably still show up to give the speech, if only because she’s getting paid for it. Possibly she’ll back out when she realizes she’s being punked/Borated, but if there’s a signed contract involved, she may not be able to. The event is closed to the media, but I’m sure there’ll be leaks, especially if she makes any gaffes.
