From Sean Cockerham in Anchorage --

Sarah Palin's spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, says the former governor will indeed be speaking in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong-based brokerage firm CLSA said this week that Palin will be the keynote speaker at their annual investor's conference this month.

But, given recent history, it seemed prudent to make sure Palin was actually on board.

Stapleton also confirmed reports that Palin has signed with the Washington Speakers Bureau to handle her paid speaking engagements.
