Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may or may not be a viable 2012 presidential candidate, but the bowling industry is probably hoping she is at least a better bowler than President Obama.

Palin will be giving the keynote address at the International Bowl Expo 2010 in June of next year, the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA) announced today.

Dubbed the bowling industry's "premier international convention," the expo will take place between June 27 and July 1 at the Las Vegas Hilton and Las Vegas Convention Center. Palin's keynote speech is slated for the morning of June 30.

The BPAA said in a press release the industry "rolled a strike" in securing Palin's presence at the event.

"Sarah Palin is a great friend to the bowling industry and we're so proud and honored to welcome her as our keynote speaker at International Bowl Expo 2010," Steven Johnson, executive director of the BPAA, said. "Regardless of your political affiliation, Ms. Palin is a force in American politics and culture. Her presence underscores the impact and importance of bowling, one of our country's leading national pastimes and a growing $10 billion industry."

I don't understand why the Zionest are not sticking up for Palin, she would protect Iseral befor Obama. Obama's foreign policy is strange, he believes you can make peace with the bad people, remenber Hitler and Anthony Eaden, the British tried it. the Russians tried it-------------------WW2

She quit being Governor to save her state from Legal fees, I would say that was the kind of person I would look up to.







What you neglect to mention, is that MOST of her "legal fees" came from Sarah Palin SUING HERSELF, in a pathetic attempt to weasel her way out of "trooper gate"!!!

Sir John Gielgud (hobson) to Liza Minelli.in the movie Arthur, "Thank you for a memorable afternoon, usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature."
