Caribou Barbie book signing in Tempe

Posted by AzBlueMeanIe:

I have always heard that Costco is a Labor/Democrat friendly business, despite the fact that it sells every screed from right-wing pulp fiction publishing houses at bulk discount prices.

Now it is selling Caribou Barbie — no, not the doll — the real-life Sarah Palin, right next to the tire department. Is this any way to run for president?

The Arizona Republic reports Sarah Palin to stop at Tempe Costco for book signing

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will sign her book on Dec. 1 at Costco in Tempe.

Palin will sign 1,000 copies of the memoir "Going Rogue: An American Life" from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The line will form on the tire center side of the building, on the southeastern corner of Priest Drive and Elliot Road, and people need to show a receipt that they bought the book at any Costco. Autograph seekers also can buy books in line.

"People will be able to take photos of her, but not with her," Magel said.

Palin will sign the book but no other memorabilia, and she won't personalize the autograph with the book owner's name.

[And no touching!]

Magel thinks the Tempe Costco was chosen because it's close to Sky Harbor Airport; Palin is leaving the state immediately after 2 p.m. for another engagement.

"I'll sign a few books and get back on the plane to get the hell out of this godforsaken state before that creepy old guy John McCain knows I am there."

Here is a bit of attitude for you:

"The arrangements were made through her publicist; we just got the e-mail that says 'You are lucky,' " Magel said.
