Governors Palin and Blagojevich will not be at the Inauguration. Hard to believe Gov Palin would miss a photo op. This most likely explains the situation. She was not invited to a ball in honor of Senator McCain whose ear barry has been bending overtime. The recent release of snippets of her interview with the documentarian John Ziegler where she ripped Katie Couric "Katie you're not the center of everybody's universe" (3:30) and continued to complain about her handlers might have a lot to do with it.
From flap at flapsblog:
According to McAllister, Palin will spend next week in her home state preparing for the legislative session, which begins on Tuesday, and for her State of the State address on Thursday.
Was she even invited? "I don't know if she was invited," McCallister says. Don't know? How could that be? It's hard to miss an invitation from a presidential inauguration committee. For its part, Obama's inaugural committee has declined to say whether an invitation was sent to Palin. Repeated phone calls to its press office produced no answer to this simple question.
As for Blagojevich, he wasn't allowed to do much at the Convention before he was impeached so does there really have to be a statement? Spokesperson Lucio Guerrero:
He doesn't want to be a distraction from Obama, and unfortunately he thinks (his presence) would be.
And what about the adulterer John Edwards who made barry's win in Iowa possible?
