Buzz for Palin event at CSU Stanislaus turns into a roar Sacramento Bee
TURLOCK – When they signed Sarah Palin, California State University, Stanislaus, foundation officials expected to generate buzz.
What they got was a deafening roar.
Entities ranging from the "Today" show to the Huffington Post have featured items on a fundraiser on the small campus in the heart of California's Central Valley. A nonscientific search found 256 media mentions of the event since it was announced last month.
The celebrity television show "Extra" referred to the "diva demands" in Palin's speaking contract.
"By the looks of the demands," "Extra" wrote on its website, "you would think the former governor was a Hollywood celebrity, not a politician!"
Students, faculty and others have protested the selection of the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate for the university's 50th anniversary gala on June 25.
One professor suggested the university invite comedian Tina Fey, with her spot-on Palin impression, to speak at commencement.
