Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are appearing together in Anchorage, Alaska Saturday to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and tickets don't come cheap: The Ticketmaster page for the event lists regular adult tickets at between $73 and $130 and tickets plus a "meet & greet" at $225.

The event will also have a "dry section" where no alcohol is served and a "wet section" for those who want to drink.

Palin heralded the event on her Facebook page last night with a message beginning, "Glenn's coming to the Last Frontier!"

"I hope my fellow Alaskans (and anyone visiting from Outside) will join me this Saturday, September 11, 2010, at Anchorage's Dena'ina Center at 8:00 p.m. Glenn Beck will be there - you won't want to miss it," she wrote.

Added Palin: "We can count on Glenn to make the night interesting and inspiring, and I can think of no better way to commemorate 9/11 than to gather with patriots who will 'never forget.' Hope to see you there!"

Palin appeared with Beck at Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally late last month at which she said, "We must restore America and restore her honor!"

President Obama will be appearing at the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington on Sept. 11th, where he will deliver remarks and take part in a wreath-laying ceremony. Michelle Obama and Laura Bush plan to honor victims of the attacks in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, while Vice President Joe Biden will attend services Saturday at Ground Zero.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for Beck says he will donate his fee from the event to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

Say what you want about the Democrats, but at least they have enough common sense and class to NOT have a fundraiser event (or whatever you want to call it) on Sept 11 !!!

1. You're an idiot.
2. You can be certain Fox would be harping on it non stop if they did

When you are that extremist, your brain is so addled that you really can't think straight. Their religion and their party is MONEY. It's just that simple(ton).; Reply to this comment


by Geoff_S September 9, 2010 12:16 PM EDT: I used to think that Glen B was a money grubbing idiot who would sell out his mother for a buck, but i am starting to believe it is something else.

I am starting to believe that he actually believes some of this stuff. If this is true, (and i don't say this lightly) shouldn't someone look into his phycological state?

He says he is speaking to god (and that god is talking back- AKA- Hearing voices.
He sees conspiracies everywhere - Paranoid.
He disregards the facts to promote his beliefs - Dilusional.
He cries constantaly for no reason- Depression
He has almost violent mood swings- (not an MD, so i don't know what that is called, but it can't be good).

I am not one who believes in "evil". I don't believe that there are external forces out there that cause people to do bad things. As a case in point -all facist dictators (Stalin, Hitler, Po Pot etc). I believe were clinically insane. Functional and charismatic, but clinically insane.

Seems to fit with our friend Glen Beck as well.; Reply to this comment


by jxknowles September 9, 2010 12:15 PM EDT: KA-CHING. The Milli Vanilli (Beck/Palin) of American politics are out to cash in on the dead Americans of 9/11, all at the expense of the gullible Tea Party followers who buy their drivel. So sad for these Americans, the Milli Vanilli fans of Americn politics. It's not real people. It's like professional wrestling. All scripted to make cash.; Reply to this comment


by Bisk1 September 9, 2010 12:15 PM EDT: Making money while marking 9/11 ??? will the idiocy of the Repug party never stop ?? I wonder if Beck and Palin support the Quran burning - it just reeks of Beck is all.; Reply to this comment


by the-meemers September 9, 2010 12:14 PM EDT: Leave it to these two Narcissists to make 9/11 all about them. It is also interesting to note that they both have new books to be released this fall...Sad part is their flock of sheeple think that Beck (morman) and Palin are true Christians.; Reply to this comment

What is this?
Beck and Palin are selling tickets for a party to Celebrate 9-11?

These two idiots would sell tickets to a train wreck.

by wdh3007 September 9, 2010 4:20 AM EDT

I wonder if they will also be burning any Qurans on Sept 11 for a ticket price?

It's about Sarah Palin.

Glenn Beck opposes the Quran burning and Sarah Palin denounced it on her twitter page!


by JV1970 September 8, 2010 8:38 PM EDT: Oh I am so looking forward to hearing all of the crying and screaming tantrum throwing you Palin haters will be doing when she's elected president in 2012! Two year olds will seem like adults beside you!; Reply to this comment
