I don’t care if she gets out of jury duty. I don’t want her on a jury. She didn’t go back for jury duty, though. That is a lie on her part. When you get called for jury duty in the US, you don’t have to immediately drop everything and go, and it’s not for two weeks. You’re making up a phony, imaginary attack on poor Sarah just like she does.
Alaska appears to have a slightly different system:
On the other hand, a juror must be:
But it’s really her only trick. What else is she going to use.
Besides, she only said that the bus was going to tour America! It’s not like the bus flew home is it, you LSM commie?

If she gets on a jury she will quit half way through the trial.
I’m willing to believe her that she has jury duty. That is an easily verifiable excuse. I’m sure as soon as the judge excuses her[sup]1[/sup], I’m sure she’ll restart that bus tour.
1 - This is not an attack. I don’t think there a judge in the world who would want a former governor/media magnet sitting in a jury box disrupting the courtroom with her very presence.
Well, I guess Palin can’t nail her own hands to the cross, so I’m sure she’s glad for your help here.
Yep. That’s my thinking as well.
You still wouldn’t have to show up immediately, though. You get a few weeks advance warning. You don’t have to show up the day after you get the summons.
You’re assuming she has the ability to plan ahead. I’ll give her credit for wanting to appear for a jury duty summons, but not for that.
Must be a long Jury Duty:
People seem willing to conveniently “forget” that there were 8,000 emails that were redacted by her former staffers.
As I recall, that was exactly the point I made about the released emails. I didn’t expect to see “dirt.” I knew it had been redacted. I said I had no doubt they’d find “stupid,” but that’s not the same as “dirt.”
LOL
Yeah, but that’s only a third of them! If she were really as bad as those evil libruls say, wouldn’t you think that her evil would show up in at least half of the e-mails? She’s clearly exceeding expectations!
So apparently this bus tour had a beginning, but no real defined stops, goals or ending. And the tour will continue. . .sometime in the future. Maybe. But don’t question if it is still a going concern because that’s just the kind of tricks the lamestream media pulls–by asking questions. I think this One-Nation-Wandering-Somewhere-On-The-East-Coast is going to put the nail in her coffin.
Nah, it’ll change nothing. You only need to look at this thread’s resident factophobes (hi sam!) to see that.

That’s hilarious. I’m the ‘factophobe’ in a discussion where people are declaring that Palin ‘quit’ despite not having any evidence that that’s the case, and people claiming that she’s lying about jury duty without having any evidence for that either.
I simply pointed out that the mere fact that she’s currently in Alaska is not evidence that her bus tour has ended, and that in fact the source news article says nothing about the bus tour ending.
And for that, I’m the ‘factophobe’, and the rest of you are all beacons of rational, evidence- based thinking. Uh huh.
She achieved her goal- she rained on Romney’s announcement parade. Next chance she gets to crap in his face, she’ll take to the road again. Not that I mind or anything.
She stopped doing something for what sounds like hastily constructed, made-up reasons and has not resumed doing it. To call that something other than quitting is flat-out Clintonian.
People started talking about her quitting because there were news stories that reported it as such, for example on Fox “News”* before the story was changed to “jury duty.” But how else can you best interpret her having bailed suddenly on her tour, with a very flimsy explanation, and with no clearly stated itinerary for continuing the tour? On “indefinite hiatus” is tantamount to quitting in any real world sense. *The original Fox “News” story said, “Palin Ends Bus Tour.”
In any case, Dio is correct that there was no need for her to immediately return home for being called to jury duty, since that’s not how it works. Also jury duty is usually excused if a person is indisposed by being, for example, on tour out of the state.
The “jury duty” excuse rings false.
