Sarah Palin's political action committee, Team Sarah, organized a "phone blast" today and members were urged to flood Senators with phone calls regarding health care reform.
What a true rogue!
There was, however, one small problem. Today is Columbus Day, a government holiday in which all Senate offices are closed.
Du,oh!
Here is the text of an email that was sent to "team" members:

Ah, the 'tiny team behind the team' -- talk about your Lilliputians! Well, except Sarah's no giant herself, so we need to haul out the atomic particle microscope here.
Too bad we have to wait a couple of years until the GOP nominates her for president. Team Sarah -- do they have matching pink baseball caps and NASCAR jackets with Big Oil logos and crucifixes plastered over every inch of them? Will Ricky Bobby be Sarah's campaign director? Tiny inquiring minds want to know.
Awwww...poor, sad losers...
