I’m guessing there was a shiny object in Alaska.
*Newsflash: *Palin renames cross country tour, now the Iquitterod Trail.
TPM says Palin just sent out an update seeming to deny that she quit: (scroll down)
I thought that line about calling her The Undefeated was a joke - but her PAC (whatever that’s supposed to be) is handing out copies so she must agree with that portrayal of herself. Ick.
Sarah Palin: Often in error but never in doubt.
The truth is, the sooner people stop paying attention to that dingbat, the better.
I don’t actually see a denial in there. Is she back in Alaska or isn’t she? Is the bus still going or isn’t it?
This reflexive attacking of the media for simply accurately reporting what she says and does becomes more tiresome every day.
I noted somewhere recently that both Sarah and Bristol have trademarked (copyrighted?) their likenesses, names, etc. The marketing blitz must not be far behind: get your Sarah bobblehead dolls with your next Happy Meal!
If we stop, she might not get nominated.
The news article I read said that her tour was ‘on hiatus’ because she was back in Alaska.
Is this stuff about her quitting coming from her? Did she say she was quitting and is now backtracking? Or was the ‘she’s quitting’ meme the result of someone seeing her head to Alaska and spinning it in the worst way possible?
It’s not unreasonable or unheard of for someone on a national tour to take a short break and head home for whatever reason. Lots of people do that. Maybe a relative is ill, or she had an engagement in Alaska, or even her kids were exhausted and wanted to get home to see their friends, so they’re take a one-week break or something.
…
Okay, I tracked down the source article at RealClearPolitics, and it says absolutely nothing about her quitting. It says that her tour is ‘on hiatus’ because she went back to Alaska, but provides no specific information from anyone in Palin’s camp. In fact, the article speculates that this just may be the result of that movie coming out, and she may have gone back to Alaska to help promote it, or that she may be simply avoiding raining on some politician’s parade (probably Rick Perry) by showing up in Iowa or New Hampshire while he’s announcing his candidacy.
So unless we hear from Palin that she’s actually quitting the tour, this appears to be another case where a non-story was blown out of proportion in an attempt to smear Palin, and then liberals like you guys swallowing the hook and running with it.
I swear, you guys are secret Palin agents or something. You keep making people who don’t want to defend her have to defend her.
Hey by the way Dio, where’s that dirt that you swore up and down would be found in her E-mails? The media is awfully quiet about those now, aren’t they? As it turns out, yet another lame attempt to attack her has turned in her favor and garnered her even more sympathy. The left is like the gang who couldn’t shoot straight when it comes to her.
How many other governors do you think could have 24,000 of their E-mails poured over by their enemies without giving up at least some amount of ammunition to them?
For a Governor inundated with non-stop ethics charges after she ran for VP, her E-mail record seems awfully clean, wouldn’t you say?
By the way, how many of those ethics charges have gone past an initial hearing to see if there was anything to them? Are any of them still pending?
Palin just posted on Facebook saying she had to go back to Alaska because she’s been called for jury duty*. And of course, Alaska, sitting up there next to Russia and Canada, doesn’t have fax machines or phone lines so she couldn’t get herself excused. She couldn’t mail the form back because it would have taken forever what with the dog sleds and all.
Anyway, here’s her post, http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150214727228435
And an article about the whole kerfluffle, with various and diverse links and quotes and 8x10 color glossy pictures, at Huffpo - Sarah Palin: Reports Of Bus Tour 'Demise Are Greatly Exaggerated' | HuffPost Latest News
Love that “when the time comes”.
*Can you imagine? Man that’d be almost as bad as looking over at the witness box and seeing Nancy Grace on your jury.
Some of us don’t need to wait until Sarah Palin tells us what we’re supposed to think.
Either way, not much of a tour if you take two weeks off to jet home. Fucking Allman Brothers never jetted home in the middle of tour!
If she’s back in Alaska, then the story is accurate. She quit.
I never said there would be any dirt in her emails.
They sure as hell don’t ride motorcycles.
The jury duty story is almost certainly a lie. You don’t have to immediately rush back for that. You get several weeks of advance warning, and where is she getting this “two weeks” from? She wouldn’t have to show up for several more weeks, and then when she did, it would take her five minutes to get out of it. She wouldn’t have been seated on a jury yet, so she’s full of shit. No way her story’s true. She made it up entirely out of her asshole.
nm - duplicate post
I think she acts in implausible ways just to set traps. Not all of the goofey shit she pulls is ‘planned’, but enough to get by.
Of course, if she tried to get out of the jury duty, you guys would be whining that she thinks she’s better than everyone else, or that she wants everyone else to be patriotic but she puts her own desires ahead of her own civic duty.
Do you pull this shit in every thread, Sam?
Specifically, this speculating about what we libruls would say in some hypothetical situation, and criticizing those words you put in our mouths.
I tell you what: why don’t you just stick with taking issue with what we actually say, rather than making shit up and taking issue with that.
Or be a good boy and run along now.
What nonsense.
