I think it's about time for a bat-shit crazy, fake baby birthing church lady Sarah Palin update, don't you?

Over the past few days there's been a delicious sprinkling of Sarah Palin in the news. After all, she can't stay out of all of lives for more than a week! Let's recap...

-Palin pissed off House Republican leaders over the weekend when she stiffed them on an appearance at a Klan meeting or something and instead decided to attend some fancy elitist event with our black/negro/Muslim/terrorist President Barack Allah Obama...

ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: When House Republicans planned their annual winter retreat, they extended an invitation to Alaska Gov. Sara Palin, hoping the party's 2008 vice presidential nominee would give a morale-building speech to the more than 130 Republican members of Congress gathered this weekend in Hot Springs, Va.

Retreat organizers tell ABC News that Palin politely declined, giving a perfectly understandable reason. According to the Congressional Institute, which hosted the conference, Palin said she simply could not make it to the retreat because pressing state business made it impossible for her to leave Alaska this weekend.

So where is Palin this weekend? She's in Washington, D.C., attending the super-elite Alfalfa Dinner.

"She lied to us," said a Republican at the retreat.

Asked why Palin told the Republicans she could not leave Alaska this weekend, Palin spokesman Bill McAllister offered this non-responsive answer:

"My understanding is that the governor has not scheduled any partisan events on her current trip to D.C.," McAllister told ABC News.

The House Republicans seemed to do just fine without Palin. Their list of speakers included Republican stars Michael Steele, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Newt Gingrich.

Asked about Palin's no-show, House Republican leader John Boehner shrugged.

"Whatever," Boehner said.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

-Was anyone else mildly disturbed by Palin's presence on the Super Bowl pregame show yesterday?

-According to a recent poll, a majority of Republicans are committed to their party's increasing irrelevancy and want Palin to be the next Republican presidential candidate.

-Palin apparently wants two billion dollars for another "road to nowhere"-esque project, a 500 mile road stretching through the state's frozen tundra to the town of Nome, an effort to "bring hope to Western Alaska."

-Over the weekend there was some sort of hipster idiotarod-type event held here in the city that people dressed up for. My friend Caroline busted out a Wasilla hillbilly outfit...



-Also, have any photos of Tripp Palin surfaced yet?
