Sarah Palin took going rogue on the road.

Wasilla Police stopped the former Alaska governor last week in her hometown for speeding 10-19 miles per hour above the speed limit, according to the state’s CourtView system.

The one-time veep candidate has to pay a $144 fine along with a $10 fee thanks to her lead foot, according to the filing.

“I wasn’t speeding, I was qualifying,” Palin told TMZ, which first reported the story.

She saw a squirrel crossing the road, and she needed to go faster so she could hit it.

10. "True Patriot" Sarah pinched while driving her Toyota Tundra

The Tundra has a supposed 75% domestic content, but what is not reported in that sales transaction is the $8-10K in profit that is sent back to the Japanese motherland of Toyota.

Profit margins are so high on trucks, that's why many of the automotive assembly lines retooled to make SUVs back in the 90's.

When people make snide comments about Sarah Palin and "Tundra," are they referring to the tundra of Alaska or the "rice-burning Tundra" that those "Coal Rollers" protest about?

11. Damn. Couple more miles per hour, and that's an automatic reckless endangerment.
