Mike Wallace can get started on that grave-spinning early

How proud he must be of his son, Chris:

WALLACE: We’re going to be down in Nashville with her at the National Tea Party Convention, and I’m excited. First of all, I’m excited to finally meet and interview Sarah Palin. We’ve been interviewing her like Captain Ahab and the great white whale for the last year and a half. [...]

IMUS: When you interview her, will she be sitting on your lap? (LAUGHTER)

WALLACE: One can only hope. (LAUGHTER)

Amazing how these alleged grass-roots movements have $379/plate dinners, can pay speakers $100,000 to appear AND have a major media conglomerate give them a megaphone.

Plus, there may be lap-dances. Will Palin give the fives and singles back to the cause too?
