but I like bendable straws!

I'm still trying to get over Sarah Palin's contractual demands for "bendable straws" when she visited CSU Stanislaus a while back. For those of you who missed the lovely Miss Palin's most recent PR shenanigans, there's a hot story afoot concerning her foiled agreement to speak at CSU Stanislaus's commencement ceremony this weekend:

"One of the documents recovered at the time appeared to be a portion of Palin's contract, detailing perks such as first-class airfare for two, deluxe hotel accommodations and bottles of water complete with bendable straws."

"Bendable straws!" Say what?!! I mean, if I were some bigwig who could get whatever ridiculous request I asked for I might be seriously tempted to ask for something. But bendable straws? When you could ask for anything?

I'm going to give Palin the benefit of the doubt and assume some dimwit staffer was responsible for this one.

Anyway, I'm going to hope so. The alternative is too terrible to consider.
