Where’s Sarah Palin?: Campaign-like Bus Tour Missing in Action

Late last week Palin announced she would be joining the Memorial Day “Rolling Thunder” parade in DC, launching a promotional “One Nation” bus tour and driving from Washington D.C. through the north east coast to New Hampshire, that critical state in the primary campaign.

Palin aides this weekend indicated that the tour schedule would be posted on Palin's political action committee website, SarahPAC.com, but as of Sunday morning there were no updates.

2. At Rolling Thunder, Waiting for Palin (14 minutes ago) NYT blog

WASHINGTON — Thousands of Harley-riding bikers from across the country began assembling in the Pentagon’s North Parking Lot on Sunday morning for the annual Rolling Thunder rally — and the start of Sarah Palin’s “One Nation” bus tour.

Ms. Palin, the former governor of Alaska, had yet to arrive by 9 a.m., and her aides did not offer any details about her participation in the event. Speculation swirled among the riders that she and her husband, Todd, would join the bikers in riding motorcycles across the Memorial Bridge to the National Mall.

A spokeswoman for the Rolling Thunder event said that Ms. Palin was not slated to speak to the crowd during the afternoon program. But an adviser to Ms. Palin would not say whether she would or she would not speak.

5. Fer Christ's sake, it's Memorial Day. Wouldn't wellmeaning people donate to veterans'

organizations instead to her cheap bus tour?

12. Donate???

These people can't donate to anything. They need to save every spare penny that comes into their possession for their retirement fund...once their hero succeeds in getting rid of social security and medicare.

The bikers won't be able to freely travel the highways and byways of this great country when roads have been privatized and they have to carry a burlap sack of change to pay at ever toll booth.

These people are unbelievably stupid.

3. The rumor is that she is not actually traveling on the bus.

Apparently she's flying and only taking the bus for the last few miles.

4. Like she did on her book tour

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Former GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who has been emerging from a bus emblazoned with her name and photograph during her publicity tour for her memoir "Going Rogue," may be flying between her promotional appearances.

A blog called "Palingates," citing the flight log, first reported that Palin has apparently been traveling on a Gulfstream II 12-passenger jet from stop to stop.

Joe McGinniss at The Daily Beast then picked up the story. Before the tour, Palin's publicist had claimed that Palin would be "making two and sometimes three stops a day, traveling in a bus painted with the cover of her book." The former Alaska governor also gave interviews from the bus, driving home the notion that it was her mode of transportation for the tour.

But flight logs show that the Gulfstream jet, which costs $4,000 per hour, has been flown from stop to stop on the book tour, prompting McGinniss to speculate that she "hasn't been on the bus, except for short hops between local airports and hotels and book-signing sites."

14. It's too bad they couldn't use her own bus to run over her

There would be some irony in that.
