Trump Gives Weird Reason Why Palin's Not Attending RNC

Alaska is just too far away from Ohio, apparently

(NEWSER) – Sarah Palin won't be speaking at next week's Republican National Convention in Ohio, and Donald Trump explained to the Washington Examiner on Thursday why that is. "She was asked," Trump says, but "it's a little bit difficult because of where she is. We love Sarah. Little bit difficult because of, you know, it's a long ways away." The Examiner notes that Cleveland is about an 11-hour flight away from Alaska. The New York Times has a list of those who will be speaking, including Tim Tebow andGeneral Hospital star Antonio Sabato Jr.

Vanity Fair calls the list of speakers "bizarre," and PoliticsUSA calls Trump's reasoning for Palin's omission from the list "jaw-droppingly dumb." That site says the move is proof that Trump wants to distance himself from Palin—but BlastingNews paints it as Palin dumpingTrump, not the other way around. Why? Per that site, she's upset about not being picked as his running mate. (GOP senators have given some interesting reasons of their own as to why they're skipping the RNC, including lawn-mowing.)
