Gov. Palin Posts 8 CPAC Photos; One of Them Sparks a Post-CPAC Fad

Governor Palin released 8 photos from her CPAC speech on her Facebook page yesterday.  Last night, Twitchy reported on a fad that was sparked by one of them.  I’ts called the Palin Liberty Pose!

Tony Lee noted that the liberal NY Magazine got it too.  Here is an excerpt from the article by Dan Amira at NY Mag.

If Sarah Palin understands anything, it’s the theatrics of a speech, and she can get a crowd riled up better than pretty much anyone in the GOP. That’s how it went this afternoon at CPAC, where she launched a fusillade of caustic zingers at President Obama, Washington, and the professional political consultant class. At no point, however, was the packed audience louder than when Palinstuck it to the man by whipping out a Big Gulp full of “pop” (soda) from behind the podium and posing for the cameras while taking a big, freedom-loving sip.

Outside the ballroom afterward, CPAC attendees raved about the stunt. “Hilarious.” “I thought that was awesome.” “I loved that.” One woman I spoke to said the moment “just really symbolized American freedom.” A man named Tomas told me that Palin holding up the Big Gulp “gave a new look to the Statue of Liberty.”
