As usual, wingnuts waited in line, in the freezing cold, for several million hours at Sarah Palin’s most recent book-signing event in Noblesville, Indiana. Palin showed up, signed books for half an hour, and was quickly whisked back — along with special guest Mr. Trig! — to her monster Going Rogue bus, leaving ~300 unsigned books. Suddenly the wingnuts decided she is a “quitter” after all! Ha ha ha look at them booing a bus. [Rumproast]
Only a typical “not-real” politician would keep her word on an engagement.
“Sign our boobs!”
“Sign our boots!”
I think these people thought they were at an “Extreme Makeover” episode.
I tell at inanimate objects all the time, particularly at my computer and at most objects in my kitchen, for not obeying my specific whims. Does that mean I’m a wingnut now or just plain ol’ generically nuts?
Maybe as a consolation they can just fuck her roadies.
I first heard them yelling “ONE OF US!” instead of “SIGN OUR BOOKS!”
Are the teabaggers the damned who intend to drag down Sarah to hell? Or are they saying that Sarah, too, is a teabagger? As Nietzsche said, those who bag tea make teabags out of themselves.
Has anyone noticed she’s only going to cities where reading stuff isn’t really very high on anyone’s to-do list?
Why doesn’t she just use the same AutoPen that Rumsfeld used to sign the condolence letters to dead soldiers’ families?
Oh my. The stupid, it is very strong with them. Most were still just happy and excited to be standing next to her bus. Truly, they would lie on the ground and let her shit in their mouths, just to be able to brag of the honor she did them by allowing them to eat her shit.
TVarmy: I heard some of them yelling “gabba gabba hey.”
They were for her before they were against her.
“sign our butts!”
She who lives by the mob, etc. and so forth.
And it was the WRONG BUS!
Can’t fault them for yelling at the bus; that picture on its side is amazingly lifelike, and these people are an easily confounded sort. Example: They thought “Joe” was a “Plumber” and a “hero.”
OMFG, that bus is an actual thing? And the Saratards weren’t thrown under it?
and in the background, Todd Browning and the Freaks chant: “gooble-gobble gooble-gobble, we accept you, we accept you…”
The Monster has turned on it’s Creator…
I’m particularly fond of the “yell at anything” tag. Not fond of the bus though. I’d probably yell at it too. Fucking christ! What’s the opposite of the Straight Talk Express? That abomination.
Becoming the self-proclaimed queen of a nation of angry armed shuffling zombies is never as easy as it appears.
Joshua Norton: Ha! Noblesville is an Indianapolis exurb, where people live in McMansions that back up to borrow-pit lakes. In a word: Suburban Bigot Republan Country.
How do I know? Don’t ask…
wildturtlelove: One of us!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBXyB7niEc0
I heard ’sign our Nutz’ - TruckNutz, obviously.
Do you think that folks like Jackie feel extra special now?
I really think the only people yelling or booing were the guy(?) filming and a couple of others. Honestly.
Wow, an RV/bus with her her portrait painted on its side? Most writers of real books these days are lucky to get a rented Dodge and a Quality Inn room for a book tour of a few major media market cities. Who is paying for this dog ‘n pony show in the hustings?
I’ve seen this crowd before. The only way to break that shit up is to bring in the wienermobile or, at the very least, the San Diego Chicken with one of those T-shirt guns.
When your intellect is only a few brain cells deep, the transition from unquestioning adulation to uncomprehending rage is pretty quick.
SAVE OUT BLUTHS! SAVE OUR BLUTHS!
“You’re either on the bus or off the bus.”
Seriously, how cool will it be when Sarah discovers LSD?
Maybe she was afraid that Jackie chick would come back.
LEAVE SARAH ALONE!
When I heard the bus’ engine rev, I was really hoping that people were about to be run over.
Blame to Borders’ gotcha scheduling in 3…2…1….
Another mob falls victim to liberal bias.
The Elmer Gantry Express rolls on!
That’s when the bus transformed into a giant robot with a laser cannon and vaporized them all, thereby raising the national IQ by 4.5 points overall.
“And that’s what she is, the Queen of Refuse. So bow down to her if you want, bow to her. Bow to the Queen of Slime, the Queen of Filth, the Queen of Putrescence. Boo. Boo. Rubbish. Filth. Slime. Muck. Boo. Boo. Boo.”
The spoiled leaving the spoiled – a sign of things to come. Surely the Mayans knew more than we give them credit for.
WHERE’S UR GOD NOW BAGGERS?!!1
V572625694: I used to teach at a private school in Indianapolis, and many of the families lived in this area. Hamilton County is one of the most solidly conservative Republican regions in the country. They can’t live in Indy/Marion County because black people live there. Hamilton is Klan Konsolidation Kounty.
Didn’t I see this crowd in another video? Is FOX involved in any of this?
“Jammakane!”
Maybe she’s been breaking water all week and feared the bus would turn back into a pumpkin before she could drop another controversial baby back in her great state of Alaska.
I hope her bus driver takes a cue from this.
Joshua Norton:
That was by design.
Good to see that Snowbilly Grifter is doing what she does her stupid best to piss off the stupids.
Isn’t that bus a little long for Trig?
That’s right, I went there.
I think they’re shouting “Move that bus! Move that bus!” hoping to conjure Ty Pennington out of thin air.
“Sign our books, cunt!” would have gotten her out there for sure.
Patty Dumpling: Ah, yes, Buttercup Palin.
Ain’t no wrath like the Teabagger scorned.
After the chanting I bet they all waddled over to the nearest Denny’s and drowned their frustration in a double order of biscuits and gravy washed down with large quanties of artificial maple syrup.
HOLY SHIT this happened to me and my friends back in the 1900s except it wasn’t a bookstore–it was a Blockbuster Video; and it wasn’t Sarah Palin–it was Adam West; and it wasn’t a monster bus–it was a limo (and we weren’t retarded conservatives–we were stupid punks).
We were way too baked to get mad and went home. The end.
They’re awfully demanding about her schedule. Her smarts or policies, not so much.
Judas Peckerwood: a thousand blessings! So, soooooo, much better than I remembered! (Isn’t that Carrie Prejean with her blond hair all done up in the marcelled waves-?)
Sharkey: Now that you mention it, a typical Palin statement sounds a lot like something you’d hear from the Last Great Stoned Hippie Chick. Uncurious certitude and random variations on a few simplistic phrases, with irrelevant interjections to maintain the droning. She just got hooked up with a right wing control freak instead of a “Peace & Love” control freak.
Kenneth the NBC Governor: Well played, sir. Well.Played.
PsycGirl: Either that Jackie chick or Jack Chick. Either or.
Patty Dumpling:
I love you so much for having such a deep knowledge of The Princess Bride.
And the hopes of many a lumpenprol where dashed that day when they learned that they couldn’t fund their black friday walmart shopping spree by putting a signed copy of Going Rogue on ebay…
“King of the anthill/best armed of the unarmed
You’re the leper with the most fingers”
-Reeves Gabrels
Patty Dumpling: So Much Win
Have these idiots not heard? Palin is an asshole, an idiot, a moron. That’s the plain truth.
One guy is quoted in the comments for the video saying that he waited in line for six hours with his wife and 3-year-old to get a book signed by Palin? Really? That is moronic and stupid and ghastly on so many levels, it’s difficult to comprehend. First, who takes a 3-year-old out to stand in a line for six hours? It’s a simple axiom of parenting: You don’t wait in lines for six hours with a 3-year-old. If you can’t get a sitter, then you stay home. Second, why on earth would any sane person wait six hours for Palin? Or for anything? Third, why do you even care about Palin? She’s a moron. Fourth, who needs her piece-of-crap book? It’s written so childishly, so stupidly, no one should be subjecting their minds to this crap–no one. Fifth, if you don’t understand that Palin’s a moron, please see someone about your delusions (directed at the wingnuts showing up at these stupid book things!!)
Look out, splenda. palin-supporter tears could become my sweetener of choice.
Jim89048: Jeezus christ, who tries drifting in a BUS????
I was yelling boo-urns.
And these people don’t believe in evolution? What further proof do you need that man’s ancestors were knuckle dragging apes?
SIGN OUR BOOKS!
SIGN OUR BOOKS!
populucious: True dat! On the other hand, Sarah is probably looking out the one-way window of the bus thinking, “They’re all made of meat.”
comicbookguy: This may be the time Meg Stapleton gets thrown under the proverbial bus.
Does the bus driver have to wait for Bill Kristol to stop fucking the tailpipe before heading to the next stop, or did they rig-up some sort of bumper-hung sex sling for uninterrupted access?
Click: Hopefully, Palin’s driver.
Judas Peckerwood:
Judas sir, RE your link, I have only one word, brilliant.
If she signs everyone’s book for free, there won’t be much of a market for the $100 autographed copies you can obtain through mail order. This is simple supply and demand economics, and republicans should know better. Why do these Palinistas want to deprive Sarah of her extra munny?
On another note, allow me to restate my belief that this book will be the undoing of Sarah Palin. It won’t win her any new fans (obvs), and will cost her some of the ones she currently has. Christards will come to think of her as too profane, and the rest will realize she’s a stupid opportunistic grifter when she drives off in her bus leaving them standing in the cold and drizzle, books unsigned. Roscoe sees all.
Somone could fund the entire Wall Street bailout by starting a futures market based on next year’s remainder bin price of Palin’s book.
I’ll take a 1,000 Goin’ Rogue contracts at $0.59.
true justice for the True Palin Believers- now they feel the pain of lovin’ a crazy snowbilly gal.
serves ‘em right.
Noodle Salad: Wienermobile - I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.
Folks shouldn’t badmouth Hamilton County as a monolith. Western part of the County is Carmel and Zionsville, which are mainly upper class to ridiculously wealthy folks. Recently similar folks have flooded into SE Hamilton. There are actually a lot of Dems (not progressives) up there, although not a majority, and they have even supported higher taxes for civic building and schools recently.
Nobletucky, on the other hand, is far east and north enough that it stayed more isolated from the city for years. It is a place where at the height of the subprime bubble white people with less than 80K a year could buy 3 or 4 br houses on crappy little lots for no money down and an ARM and stay away from all flavors other than vanilla. In other words, Teabagger/Sara Palin ground zero, as demonstrated in the campaign and again at the book signing.
It should tell you all you need to know that Palin isn’t comfortable going to Indy or even Carmel, but goes another half hour into the redneck zone. Chickenhawk! Good luck running a campaign for dog catcher with that strategy!
Prommie: Two girls, one cup!
Judas Peckerwood: Okay, The Palin Groupies are still scarier than that video. Sad but true.
Sharkey: magic bus!
davitydave: Don’t paint the whole of Hamilton with one brush. Nobletucky is about 99% redneck/GOP backer, but Obama got almost 40% in the county as a whole. Carmel and Zionsville have a lot of volvo driving, Dem voting, Whole Foods shopping lawyers and doctors. Not progressives, but not DINOs either. She chose to go to Nobletucky, not the big Borders or Barnes & Noble up on Meridian in Carmel, because that turf isn’t crazy redneck enough for her.
Nigerian Business Executive:
“Speak up, I can’t hear you.”
–Your toaster
thefrontpage: You missed the comment by one Greg Vandenboom: “After 8 hours in the cold and rain with my wife and 10 month old baby, I was shocked to watch Sarah get on a bus and leave…” Where is child protection? This is parenting at its finest.
Let’s overlay that woman shrieking “Sign our books! Sign our books!” over every Palin appearance or speech from now on. Better yet, let’s get that woman to show up at every Palin appearance…
She’s considering hiring Dave Matthews’ bus driver.
Joshua Norton: Noblesville is actually a very affluent area of northern Indy. I’m surprised she came here and not someplace shitty and more rural.
Today Sarah Palin’s handlers issued her apology to any of her many fans who may have been disappointed.
“I really wanted to stay and sign every book and meet each and every one of you,” said Mrs. Palin. “Unfortunately, my publisher and the bookstores just signed us up to be in too many darn places at once! Gosh, this whole book thing has become so much more popular than anyone thought it would be. There are just too dang many people who want to meet us.”
Yawn.
Can I just say that booing Sarah Palin is totally ubsurd?
There’ll be no escape for the princess this time.
Noodle Salad: Suds McKenzie: I once saw a crowd in Milwaukee devour a Wienermobile in 2 minutes flat. They ate the wheels like Oreos.
Had the San Diego chicken been anywhere nearby, he would’ve been face first in a deep fryer before he even had a chance to reload.
The tears of disillusioned Palinistas are like the most patriotic eagle tears to me.
WOLVERINES!
Tickle-me-Sarah stampede at the next signing, you betcha!
Too bad no one was there to hand out tiki torches.
I can hardly wait for Sarah’s public denunciation of whoever’s “responsible”.
The circus freak is gonna blame her handlers again.
Maybe it’s the resolution on my screen, but that’s an awfully short-lookin’ bus. Just sayin’.
Wait a minute, they have book stores in Indiana?
http://www.facebook.com/notes/yvonne-coffey/sarah-palin-seems-to-have-almost-all-these-symtoms/180928831309 Sarah says my book it really about this(link above) to a tee this is her
You can’t blame them for yelling. Most of them are more comfortable with a much shorter bus.
Berkeley Bear: Stop getting in the way of my sweeping generalizations, dammit!
Some lovely quotes from angry former Palinphiles at Think Progress: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/20/palin-angry-book/
Sarah Palin is a classic case for NPD. Why are her kids always with her? do they ever go to school?
Great job on that interview! I saw it on palingates.com and had to come by an give you a HIGH FIVE!
Please ALSO include the bus staff in your interview next time! They aren’t like campaign staff, looking for a job with the next candidate, they will spill the beans!
I have been checking out Sarah’s OFFICIAL site and quite a few of her Palinbots who went to a signing and their experiences are not what they expected from their dear Sarah!
Hilarious!
So, to recap:
-Palin is trying to use the book signing tour as a combination pre-campaign and testing of the waters for her mega-overreaching political aspirations.
-Net result is that she alienated many of the 20-something-% of Indianans that don’t already think she belongs in a rubber room.
Inescapable conclusion:
EPIC FAIL
<Nelson Muntz>HA Ha!</Nelson Muntz>
Oh darn it all. Is she ever gonna “learn” the “lessons” of “A Face In The Crowd”! You don’t wanna get the “people” “riled up.”
thefrontpage:
Oh that is nothing! One Palinbot on Sarah’s site claims to have waited from 7:00am with 3 kids in the cold and rain for TWELVE hours, only to realize that they have been given ‘hope’ but all along they were ‘kept’ there to be “strategically placed” in front of the podium for the arrival of the bus!!!
These people are NUTS!
canadasteve: I heard “Sign our guts!”
The Little Rock: How Does “The Straight Fucked Express” sound?
frailamerica: “When I heard the bus’ engine rev, I was really hoping that people were about to be run over.”
Funny! I’m glad I’m not the only person who hopes for stuff like that — I keep hoping Clarence Thomas has a heart attack! Thank you!
I’ll chip in to hire Miley Cyrus’ bus driver to take over the tour.
Sandy Cheeks: Especially now that he’s dead.
eclecticbrotha: has the bus name been settled?
“Palin gracelessly decamps in the ________
1) “Under the” Bus
2) Arctic Loonar Lander
3) (as above)
FlownOver: She seems pretty sober to me - however, your theory that she was indoctrinated by Charles Manson does hold some water. More investigation is needed.
PALIN IS DITHERING , DITHERING, DITHERING!!!
DITHERING!!
I quit my job, took all six kids out of school, bought 100 copies of the book and encamped for 6 days, and in the end Jeanne Fitzpatrick didn’t even sign one Rogue book. Terrorist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDTwO0TlwOU
She has apologized on Facebook to all those who were LEFT BEHIND!
Tundra Grifter:
“I really wanted to stay and sign every book and meet each and every one of you,” said Mrs. Palin. “Unfortunately, my publisher and the bookstores just signed us up to be in too many darn places at once! Gosh, this whole book thing has become so much more popular than anyone thought it would be. There are just too dang many people who want to meet us.”
Did she just blame her publisher AND the people who are actually selling her books? REALLY?
das gelbe gehfar: …and quite possibly blaming the people for being stupid enough to want to meet her. “DANG YOU ALL. FOR BEING TOO MANY OF YOU TO MEET ME!!!”
ShiningMathPath: #2 for the WIN!
V572625694: Famous mostly for a series of KKK trials there, back in the 1920s. The Klan is still surprising strong in Indiana.
DarkSynergy: Merrillville?
The real motto of Indiana is “Show us your tits!”
I heard some of them chanting “Gabby Hays, Gabby Hays.”
FYI Zhubajie-Merrillville really isn’t rural, it’s next to Gary (growing up there, I know) and if there is a just God, the Palinmobile will break down somewhere near 35th and Broadway…
When The Lord / Allah / The Great Pumpkin handed out brains, these folks missed the bus.
Now it’s happened all over again…
