WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a conservative, paired with U.S. Rep Barney Frank, a gay liberal, to entertain journalists at Washington's Gridiron Club.

Palin attended the dinner after a stop in Fairfax, Va., to promote her book, "Going Rogue: An American Life."

Frank, D-Mass., was the feature of a biography released in September -- "Barney Frank: The Story of America's Only Left-Handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman" by Stuart Weisberg.

"The view is so much better inside the bus than under the bus," Palin said, referencing her book tour, Politico said.
