Washington:
Sarah Palin poked fun at herself in a speech to journalists, drawing laughter when she
announced she "came down from my hotel room and I could see the Russian Embassy."
The 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate also joked that she had originally thought of titling her book "How To Look Like a Million Bucks For Only $150,000" before settling on "Going Rogue." In one of the controversies surrounding her candidacy, the campaign spent about $150,000 on her wardrobe.
Palin was the Republican speaker at the winter dinner of the Gridiron Club, an organisation of Washington-based journalists.
Rep Barney Frank represented the Democrats. Palin targeted her hosts, Democrats and Sen John McCain's campaign staff, as well as herself.
If the election had turned out differently, she said, "I could be the one overseeing the signing of bailout checks and Vice President Biden could be on the road selling his book, 'Going Rogaine.'" Biden has sparse hair.
The crack about seeing the Russian Embassy from her hotel referred to Palin having told an interviewer during last year's campaign that her qualifications for high office included that "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
