Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin brought down the house last weekend when she spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC ).

The Former Alaska Gov. mentioned Bloomberg's attempt to ban the sale of sugary drinks over 16 ounces, which was blocked last week before she paused to reveal a Big Gulp.

"Bloomberg is not around, our Big Gulps are safe. We're cool. Shoot, it’s just pop with low-cal ice-cubes in it,” Palin told the crowd.

Discussing gun ownership she said: "You should have seen what Todd got me for Christmas. Well, it wasn’t that exciting. It was a metal rack, case for hunting rifles to put on the back of a four-wheeler. Then though, I had to get something for him to put in the gun case, right. So, this go around, he’s got the rifle, I got the rack."

The former running mate of Sen. John McCain, the conservative pundit took several swipes at the Obama administration during her 25-minute speech.

"Mr. President, we admit it. You won. Accept it. Now step away from the teleprompter and do your job."

Once again referring to herself as a ‘hockey Mom’ she took the opportunity to bash elites and praise the Second Amendment.
