A really, really bad idea Sarah...

Glenn Beck, Palin to Appear in Concert Together

Fox News Host Glenn Beck and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are going on the road together, touring with country singer John Rich as part of his “Taking Our Country Back Tour,” Politico reported Thursday.

The three will appear at the Tulsa Convention Center on Saturday, March 13, with Gretchen Wilson, another country artist, according to Politico.
Tickets for the rally and concert cost from $45 to $100.

A second rally has been planned for April in Kansas City with Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham. Rich will also attend that rally.

If the two rallies are successful, the organizers hope to hold up to 10 more events and are looking to recruit more speakers and performers, including Karl Rove, the ex-senior adviser to George W. Bush, and Dick Morris, according to Politico.

Palin will be paid for the event, but significantly less than her reported $100,000 per event rate, according to Brad White, a production manager for Creative Entertainment Unlimited, the company putting on the concert.

White would not provide a specific number to Politico on what Palin will receive for the event, but described it as “an honorarium” that was far less than her going rate.

The event was organized by Tony Holden, a former boxing promoter from Tulsa. Holden teamed with Rich to create the “tour” — so far only two dates — and recruiting Palin and Beck, White said.
