Sarah Palin appreciates a good show, but not when it’s at her expense.

Some pro-choice activists caused a stir last year when they circulated an e-mail claiming Palin, who was then running for the vice-presidency, supported Planned Parenthood and the e-mail urged readers to donate in her name. The organization, which did not condone the message, ended up receiving more than $1 million in funds. An anti-hunting organization used the same tactic earlier this month. And Palin’s not amused.

Dismissing the acts as "political theater," Palin yesterday reiterated that she would never sign on to the Planned Parenthood movement.

I have boxes of thank-you notes from people associated with Planned Parenthood thanking me for the donations. Same with some anti-hunting groups, they’re doing the same thing right now. It’s political theater — it’s great theater I guess for some.

But on the issue of Planned Parenthood and abortion, at least Planned Parenthood, officials there and I, we agree on a mission here that we’d like to see fewer and fewer abortions. And I, embracing the culture of life, have perhaps a different approach in how I would like to see that goal reached.

Palin, of course, is stridently pro-life and would rather we see no abortions.
