Sarah Palin: TIME 100 Gala

Sarah Palin hits the red carpet with her family at the TIME 100 gala inside the Frederick P. Rose Hall at NYC’s Jazz at Lincoln Center on Tuesday (May 4).

The 46-year-old former governor was selected as one of the TIME 100 Leaders who most affect our world. “Her rugged individualism, self-reliance and a herculean work ethic resonate now more than ever in a country spinning away from these basics that made the U.S.A. the last best place,” TIME writes.

“We who are driven to be assets to our families, communities and our beloved country connect with the principles that Sarah Palin embodies. We know that bureaucrats and, even more, Fedzilla, are not the solution; they are the problem. I’d be proud to share a moose-barbecue campfire with the Palin family anytime, so long as I can shoot the moose.”
