The Gridiron Club is holding it’s winter dinner this Saturday and have a real odd couple as the featured speakers: Ms. Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate under Senator John McCain of Arizona last year, is one of two guests speakers, who in years past were invited to provide typically humorous speeches. The other speaker this year is Representative Barney Frank, the liberal Democrat from Massachusetts. It’s difficult to imagine two people who have more diametrically opposed view of the world (not to mention personalities and senses of humor). All the ingredients for an absorbing evening of theater and politics. But don’t break out the popcorn: Except these dinners are strictly off-the-record. Nothing that happens is supposed to leave the room — though with journalists being journalists, and Washington being Washington, it’s a good bet that you’ll be hearing something about this by Sunday morning. Perhaps Ms. Palin will break the news and boast of her appearance at the dinner to her Twitter followers. Personally, I’d rather hear Barney Frank’s take on it.
