Sarah Palin to Speak at Investment Forum in Hong Kong

Sarah Palin, who was criticized during the presidential campaign for her lack of experience in international affairs, will make her first trip to Asia next month.
John McCain's former running mate will speak at the CLSA Investors Forum in Hong Kong -- perhaps an irony, as critics also said Palin was not very savvy in economics either.
CLSA is the leading independent investment group in Asia, and past speakers at the forum have had very high profiles, including Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Alan Greenspan and Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu.
A source explained the organization's thinking to the Associated Press: "Our keynote speakers are notable luminaries who often address topics that go beyond traditional finance such as geopolitics."
Palin, who resigned as governor of Alaska in late July, will speak on Sept. 23. The event will be closed to the media.
