Here is something about the media: Reality TV star Sarah Palin feels they are not working hard enough. She will not be the kind of “conventional politician” who gives out schedules and press availabilities and makes everything so easy on lazy reporters with deadlines. No, she will be like Carmen Sandiego and everyone will be required to do some “investigative work” to figure out where she will go next on her vacation tour to snap crappy pictures for her SarahPAC blog.
Palin did manage to grant a scheduled interview with Greta Van Susteren for Fox News, in which she declared she will not schedule interviews for anyone else:
No, I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this and that would include not necessarily telling them beforehand where every stop is going to be, you know, if they — we’ll do a stop, we’ll do a lot of OTRs, off the records, we’ll meet a lot of great Americans and then I’ll write about that at the end of the day and it’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour, it’s about highlighting the great things about America and the media can figure out where we’re going if they do their investigative work or they’re going to keep, kind of as you put it, going crazy trying to figure out what we’re doing here.
Claiming to hate the media and then telling them to work harder to discover her whereabouts has just about her usual level of logic to it, which is to say, “none at all.” File this alongside statements like, “this isn’t a campaign tour, except to campaign on our Constitution, our charters of liberty,” because what does that even mean? Is it a special secret teabagger code for the name of her next stop? More clues needed! [The Washington Independent/TPM Muckraker]

She's meeting with Trump tonight. (seriously)
I can just hear Melania, screaming to Donald, "Don't you dare bring them to the house!, in whatever language she speaks.
How do you know she's meeting with Trump, were it not for the media?
Let's hope they cancel each other out!
Done and done!
"in whatever language she speaks"
Crazy bitch?
(Oh, look, here comes the banhammer…)
News Flash! Trump signs Palin for stint on Celebrity Apprentice.
With Donald's rep, I think its more like a remake of "Indecent Proposal" except that Todd has no say in the matter.
Trump couldn't afford it.
Marcelle, I would watch that just to watch her get fired.
She'd quit first.
It’s a veritable “Meeting of the Mindless.”
Don't know if you've noticed it Barb, but an entire thread about Philly and no Baconz? He's chasing the bus!
He's probably at the Liberty Bell, watching to see if she promises one that isn't cracked once she is POTUS.
Great – the bell is no longer cracked, but the POTUS is!
Uggg…what if they wind up having sex?
Dash, if Sarah and Donald "bump uglies" it will gross me out more than the thought of Papa John Phillips, opening his daughter, Mackenzie's Father's day gift to him.
Ok…I have to do some intertubes lookin' to make out that reference. I don't follow celebrity lives for a reason. Thanks for breaking my horror cherry.
Sorry, my bad.
There goes the neighborhood. She'll just get hillbilly on all of his gold statuettes and marble columns, anyway.
Bet she stole silverware.
Ratings gold as Snow Snooki and The Shituation chow down on mall food.
"She's meeting with Trump tonight."
I sure hope it's not for dinner, because there's not enough mustard in the world for those two hams.
I would check the Bank.
Just follow the direction of laughter
I have programmed my dog to listen for her screeches.
Your dog is a robot?
I'm calling ASPCA on you!
I bet her bus gets stuck trying to go through a Taco Bell drive thru
After the cosmetic surgery, Bristol is not much of a gordita so they have to replace her, naturally.
Or, even better, the media can just ignore her completely and she can go scurrying back to the obscurity of backwoods Alaska where she belongs.
"it’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour, it’s about highlighting the great things about America"
Hey, she said it herself: No need for publicity. I am perfectly happy to co-operate. It's unfortunate that the media (lame-, main-, and piss-in-the-stream) is incapable of doing so, because it would be a hoot to see her face if she stuck her mug out of her RV and there were no cameras.
Yeah, yeah, I know – no cameras means we can't see it. I'd take a written description, though.
Has Bible Spice hired Alvin Greene to be her campaign manager, because this is so completely Zen?
Hehe Bible Spice
I think John Coale will be damaging enough.
Claiming to hate the media and then telling them to work harder to discover her whereabouts has just about her usual level of logic to it, which is to say, “none at all.”
Dear LSM:
Move along, nothing to see here. No, really. Derp, also.
Has anyone told her yet that outside of Wasilly, Walmarts are typically not considered "Historical Sites"?
"…not necessarily telling them beforehand where every stop is going to be, you know, if they — we’ll do a stop, we’ll do a lot of OTRs, off the records…"
Nice way of saying,"We really don't want anyone following us or having ANYTHING thought up ahead of time about what to say… because not only do I not care but I would look foolish."
(Plus- no one really needs to know where their Sarah Palin C-PAC money is going…)
To say nothing of "we don't want anything on record because anything Sarah says could potentially be used against her, because it will almost certainly be stupid"
In other words, acting like a silly, spoiled celebrity and pretending legitimate reporters are paparazzi.
"legitimate reporters" – hah hah hah!
They're all bastards! In Sarah's mind!
You think you can catch Sarah Palin? You think a gal like that comes this close to getting caught, and sticks her head out? If she comes up for anything it'll be to get rid of me. After that… my guess is you'll never hear from her again.
Please, can we play Whack-A-Mole with her the next time she pops out of her burrow?
She won't go anywhere NEAR the Burroughs…
The turtle sticking it's head out….
If only, "like that, pfft! she's gone".
She'll just lay low, hanging out with the usual suspects.
The greatest trick the She-Devil ever pulled was convincing the world she didn't exist. And like that, poof. She's gone.
Ivanka is pregnant. When meeting with Trump tonight, can't you just hear Bristol asking, "did you have to drop out too?"
Bristol will ask "What the hell kinda name is Ivanka?"
"Why aren't you named Trivanka?"
"Can I have the name of your plastic surgeon?"
"Look… my chin is pointy like your tits!"
"It’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour" Palin said standing in front of her bus, newly-wrapped in SarahPAC graphics.
Sarah. This word "publicity", it does not mean what you think it means.
Also, "inconceivable" means nothing to her fecund family.
You know, that's how we get from the present to Idiocracy -rampant Palin breeding. It's a documentary from the future as far as I'm concerned.
OTOH, a mix of Brawndo and Victory Gin sounds really appealing just now.
It has electrolytes.
And the short bus keeps rollin'…
She's hiding because that tweeted underpants picture was actually of her.
Lou Sarah is Justice Thomas' long lost Long Dong Silver? Who knew?
Todd.
"it’s about highlighting the great things about America"
Oh, like not having any idea where S___h P___n is or what she is doing?
I hope her magic school bus drives on a river of LAVA.
Or drops her off at Rahway Prison on the way to the Donald's.
It could just slow down and throw her over the wall.
She'd get plenty of attention then, you betcha! *wink*
"…or they’re going to keep, kind of as you put it, going crazy trying to figure out what we’re doing here."
So… they should go straight to the source of crazy, huh?
If she thinks any one is "going crazy trying to figure out what we’re doing here." Then she has a very low opinion of those who care enough to notice she is doing anything anywhere anytime. Saying you are going on a bus tour but not for publicities sake is like saying " I'm not a racist, but all the brothers seem to really like big booties"
Well, most of us go crazy trying to figure out what the hell she's doing here … so why not the media?
I'm savin' my brain cells for whiskey loss… not Palin burn…
I'm looking forward to her being OTR….Off The Radar.
Dovetails so nicely with Off The Rails
Over the rainbow she is craaaaaaaaazy…
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall.
But how'd SHE get in???
I imagine my New England brethren are simply praying for Outta The Region.
OTR meant something altogether different about 25 years ago… but you would NEVER ask your girlfriend if she was OTR… she would kick ya in the nutz.
Ha ha, I remember.
Which would suggest that the answer was "YES".
It is kind of an educated guess situation… I think when you truly "become a man" is when you STOP asking the question and just know what the answer is… and do the dishes…
One of those wisdom things.
Personally, I don't give a shit where Palin's Fame Whore Tour 2011 stops are as long as it ends in Hell.
That's fair. She's making it hell for everyone else.
The Fuckhead stops here.
My recurring daydream is that Greta Van Cistern is a liberal mole who writes a scathing memoir at the height of Snowbilly's popularlty and easily wins the Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism. Or that the bus driver goes crazy and runs both of them over. Either one works for me.
Is it too much to ask for this one bus to plunge off some precipice somewhere, or do those not exist on the east coast?
Not as high or impressive as out west, but plenty of bridges and overpasses!
Or plunges into the primary reactor at the Jersey City wastewater treatment plant.
No! That'd get the sewage dirty!
Make it a New Jersey bridge and leave Chris Christie sweating, trying to explain how it's not his fault.
On second thought – ew, never mind.
In my dream, the Palin bus is being driven by Toonces the Driving Cat.
You have a better shot with the bus driver thing.
So does this mean that if she wins the presidency, she'll communicate by tweet and other terse, confusing methods, sort of like Punxatawney Phil? Admittedly it would be better than W's pressers, certainly more entertaining.
More entertaining but certainly no more fact-filled.
Where is the bus going? Sarah is gonna turn right 4 times and then blame the LSM for ending up where she started.
I hate to point out the obvious, but Snowbilly's not telling anyone where's she going because she has no fucking idea where she's going.
And she wouldn't know how to spell it if somebody told her.
Even her GPS is telling her "Go fuck yourself."
Also, her policies, for the same reason.
I'm hoping her bus takes the wrong turn in New Jersey and either ends up in a very unfortunate neighborhood up around Elisabeth or lost in the Pine Barrens. Either way, the bus will end up stripped and the whole Palinpalooza gang will have to try to hitchhike out of there.
Now that's a reality tv show I would watch.
It's just a short jaunt from Philly to having the bus being buried to the axles in sugar sand deep in the pines of Wharton State Forest. 90 F. 98% RH, ticks, chiggers, strawberry flies and mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes. "Trespassers Will Be Violated" signs down creepy, two-track cordoroy driveways.
Nah, still too good for 'em.
""Trespassers Will Be Violated" signs down creepy, two-track cordoroy driveways."
I can just see them gawking at that sign, perking up, striding more confidently, a little bounce in their steps…
Hillbilly cretins. All of 'em.
“Hillbilly cretins.” That's something I'll save & cherish (and probably use). I'd like to call them that to their faces – but I imagine the reply would just be: “Cretin? Ah hain't frum Crete! Ahm a Ril 'Murikun!”
One can always hope that the video of the Where Bitch Project survives.
"I'm hoping her bus takes the wrong turn in New Jersey and either ends up … lost in the Pine Barrens."
Where she'll encounter the Russian mobster from the Sopranos and promptly tweet about how she can see Russia from the window of her bus.
I think this wins the day.
Vote Bachmann!
Maybe this is how she would run her Presidentcy? State of the Union given any day she feels like it. American Idol style competition for Cabinet positions. Survivor Games for pardons.
Vote Bachmann!
Following cryptic clues written by Palin is going to be tricky business, because you don't have to know the right answer, but Sarah's answer, which are almost surely different things. It'll be like, "I'm visiting the place where the Constitution was signed", and she'll be at the Alamo.
We're going to see that Big Bell…
Taco Bell.
"she'll be at the Alamo. "
Renting a car?
'Cuz they kicked her off the friggin' bus.
My question: how do we distinguish between a "cryptic clue" and a policy statement?
Keep on driving, Sarah. Right off the edge of a cliff.
And the lemmings that follow you.
Go ahead, be my guest. Get sucked into her black hole of stupidity for all I care. Anyone that spends a second playing her little game SHOULD be called Lame Stream Media.
WTF is with Tweety these days, anyway?
I had a charter of Liberty once… man we caught LOTS of fish that day!
What a despicable comparison. How can you insult Carmen Sandiego by comparing her to a meretricious, mendacious, criminal, lazy, bullying, slimy hack like Palin? At least Carmen got stuff done — hell, she even traveled through time once. Also, she knew how to hide, while all you'd have to do to win Where In The World Is Sarah Palin? is wait about five minutes and then trace down her latest twitter twat.
Playing "Where's Waldo?" is more intellectually stimulating.
Plus both Waldo and Carmen would be capable of carrying on a coherent conversation if you found them.
Right. Not only had Carmen Sandiego gone on a number of foreign trips prior to campaign season '08, but she also had a healthy working knowledge of geography, which admittedly only ever got expressed in the form of clues she left for pursuing Interpol officers.
Would that I could give you more upfists for that glorious defense of Ms. Sandiego.
Remember how much she liked it when the college kids from California went dumpster diving to dig up the details of her speaking fees? LOVED IT! So come on lamestreamers, the trash is waiting!
Remember when that other college kid social-engineered her Yahoo email account and found official state government business being conducted there?
What happened to him again?
Archaeologists will tell you that trash is very revealing!
Yeah, but … diving into the trash containers at NJ Turnpike rest stops? Eeew!
"So come on lamestreamers, the trash is waiting!"
Ironically enough, this is also what they tell the anchors when Lou Sarah is in the green room.
Which trash, the trash in the dumpster or the trash in the bus seats.
This is Sarah's version of going Galt — she disappears and then pops up fifteen minutes later wanting to know if anyone noticed that she'd disappeared.
My niece liked to play that game, back when she was two years old.
Is your niece at least six or seven now? If so, please consider asking her to run for the GOP nomination. They need help in the form of full sentences and logical thoughts.
Sort of like Whack-A-Palin. (Game idea for the holiday season?)
Why is this "family values Christian woman" terrorizing us on this goddamn bus tour? Shouldn't she be spanking Piper, wiping Trig's drool, helping her children work in the "Jesus Walked On The Water" Activity book, and putting out for Todd on demand?
She should, according to her beliefs, but she's not. Just another shot of hypocritical Christian bullshit.
I'm afraid words don't exist to describe how much I despise that woman, her followers, and the slavish media that regularly omit the fact that she is a cretinous scourge. When an image of her crosses my field of vision, I force myself to think of the scummy, foaming flotsam commonly found atop shallow standing water, sort of like an auto-didactic method of Pavlovian response training. I simply can't take any more.
Makes you long for the sweet, innocent days of being confronted daily with Paris Hilton.
Comic Sans FTW!
Alt-text FAIL.
Yeah! Wonkette Jr. gets a demerit on the entrance exam for not providing alt-text on this post.
I think the Snowblower is speaking in tongues again.
Worst. Game. Ever.
A snake-handling community college dropout is exactly what this deranged country deserves. If this were an intelligent nation, this pitiful woman would have been laughed out of existence years ago.
Mighty big if my friend .
Trig wept.
Let's see if this Ailes ploy moves her unfavorable poll numbers. She's lost, quit, wrote a crappy book, toured , tweeted like the village idiot, wrote another crappy book, given nonsensical speeches, and you know what, her numbers only worsened.
The people who despise her, or are indifferent to her, are pretty unlikely to change.
But, she's worth one more grifting episode.
I highly recommend this Rolling Stone piece.
i don't know if i should thank you or curse you for that article.
but i did read all of it and now i am depressed.
Shorter Sarah's Magical Misery Tour: "Coming soon to a Wal-Mart near you!"
we’ll meet a lot of great Americans and then I’ll write about that at the end of the day and it’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour, it’s about highlighting the great things about America we’ll meet a lot of great Americans and then I’ll write about that at the end of the day and it’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour, it’s about highlighting the great things about America we’ll meet a lot of great Americans and then I’ll write about that at the end of the day and it’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour, it’s about highlighting the great things about America we’ll meet a lot of great Americans and then I’ll write about that at the end of the day and it’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour, it’s about highlighting the great things about America
all said with a voice of " nail scratching a blackboard a la Jaws"
and it's not about me
it's not about me
not about me
about me
me
me
me
"Why is she news?"
HAHAHAHAHAH! I LOVE Hearing about this shit, really! (No snark!) This Lou Sarah is comedy gold. I love this and her crazy shit family for making my work days more enjoyable to get through! Yes, she is a despicable ass, but soon she will piss off even more people and will go away.
And then Piper will be old enough to get caught smoking meth.
Right?
I dunno, meth can't be good for the inevitable out-of-wedlock baby.
Oh, wait, now Lou Sarah's going to call me a pederast for saying that the illiterate, trashy apple doesn't fall far from the other illiterate, trashy, apple, doesn't fall far from the tree which also possesses the aforementioned characteristics.
She is such a pervert herself. Any male (all of 'em, any of 'em, Katie) that displeases her is referred to in crude, vulgar, tasteless, emasculating sexual terms, often in conjunction with her underage daughters, and yes, she also has a real penchant for tossing her daughters onto the media stage as the objects of sexual lust.
I myself cannot imagine screeching repeatedly (and completely unfoundedly) "Look at my daughter! Look at her!! This guy wants to RAPE her!!!"
But that's just me. And probably every other mother out there with even one tiny iota of maternal instincts. Which of course lets out bitchface.
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round.
Yes. Yes they do. (Phineas and Ferb are poignantly stuck in my head)
The wheels on the short bus came off long ago.
Paranoia. That is the first thing that comes to my mind about a secretive non-secretive, open but hidden from the media trip across some of the US by a media doyenne who doesn't want people or the news to know where she is at, at any given moment, but checks in regularly. OK then. Also, manipulate.
Unlike Waldo, Sarah is not worth searching for.
I'm honestly hoping the confusion will lead teabaggers to pull out maps and actually think, hm, i wonder what all that shit outside our borders is… A boy can dream…
i wonder what all that shit outside our borders is
They already know. Their maps simply note: "Here, there be monsters."
You said it Owls, I'm so sick of listening to teabaggers tell me how we should stop giving money to Pakistan but still want to continue the Afghanistan war. Have they looked at a fucking map?
I can't think of any worse punishment for a journalist than being stuck on the $arah bus tour beat. Is that where Jack ended up, in penance for stating the obvious here on Wonkette?
Ouch!
I haven't heard such a meticulously intricate cruelty visited on someone since the Red Guards sent down the Uighurs to work on pig farms.
i think that fits the cruel and unusual clause
Sarah Lou has decided to play hard to get after the media stopped returning her phone calls, texts and emails. What's next, she shows up on the media's doorstep at 2 am drunk, crying and begging to be taken back? Face it, Sarah Lou. . . the media is just not that into you.
I hate to think of the amount of pity sex it would take to get her to calm down and go away.
Next come the drunk dials (I hope), asking people if they are ready to apologize to her for uh, all their misdeeds toward her (any of 'em, all of 'em, if you want to get specific, you limp, impotent, bastard! Hisssss), followed by blubbering and cursing…
As long as she doesn't sext any nekkid pics of herself, I'll be happy.
Thinking, writing, snarking about Sarah Palin™ is exhausting.
She's embarked on a kind of American history tour. Telling people to celebrate our heritage. But her focus is in the 19th and 18th century. I'll bet she never sets foot in the 20th much less the 21st centuries, except the obligatory 9/11 homage.
She's stroking the Tea Party crowd who loooove the olde days. Before the 16th Amendment (income taxes), 17th Amendment (direct election of senators); before Social Security, Medicare, OSHA, EPA, Education Department, Civil Rights, foreign aid … the list goes on.
Listen up TP'ers. The 19th century wasn't that great. Don't forget the slavery, the infant mortality, male-only voting, the Panic of 1837, the Panic of 1873, the Panic of 1893.
what's sad is to think of the years of the early 20th century in middle ("real") America, ie strong unions, strong Socialist party, Eugene V. Debs etc. and now their deluded grandkids are cheering Sarah Palin.
"Listen up TP'ers. The 19th century wasn't that great. Don't forget the slavery, the infant mortality, male-only voting, the Panic of 1837, the Panic of 1873, the Panic of 1893."
All caused by the commie muslin Barrak HUSSEIN Obummer!!!! Glen Beck proved it!!! I saw it on his chalk board. It had lots of pictures, so there, libtard!!!!
Ah, but it was the "Gilded Age". As far as the Koch brothers and Goldman Sachs are concerned, it's been downhill since.
I'm pretty sure the slavery and male-only voting are in the pro column for these people. Gah, can't we just send them all back in time? Where's that fucking Tardis when you need it?
Panic! at the Disco. Never Forget !
Someone please throw Sarah under the bus.
Metaphorically or…. Oh.
Might break the bus.
"No, I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this and that would include not necessarily telling them beforehand where every stop is going to be, you know, if they — we’ll do a stop, we’ll do a lot of OTRs, off the records, we’ll meet a lot of great Americans and then I’ll write about that at the end of the day and it’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour, it’s about highlighting the great things about America and the media can figure out where we’re going if they do their investigative work or they’re going to keep, kind of as you put it, going crazy trying to figure out what we’re doing here."
I love a run-on sentence as much as the next person but this has made my brain go boom.
Apparently she does not realize that when Mark Twain or Garrison Keillor write funny, meandering stories with long run on quotes of clever phrasing and prose, they are satirizing people like herself. She probably started "grandfather’s old ram" and quit before the end and so did not get the punchline.
Where is SP? She's everywhere, Katie. In the heart of every untalented pageant queen looking for a reality show, to the family who 'homeschools' (so they can really teach their kid about a gun-toting, fag hating Jesus), to the the guy in the van with the handicap tags living on social security who HATES socialismz and everywhere in between.
Tom Joad, Rethuglican style.
For the WIN! Troll downfisted you, I got ya back into positive numbers. Well said.
You win tonight's internets.
OK! Very, very good!!!!
Thanks!
The only people who don't know why LouPsoriasis doesn't want the media finding out her bus tour routes are the same rubes who will be surprised when it comes out that she was never on the bus, but took chartered planes and slept in hotels at all the stops.
At least by not informing the media where she is going, she can avoid those embarrassing situations like leaving your supporters and other gawkers hanging when you say that you're going to Gettysburg and then don't bother to show up.
Yes, and narcissistically, arrogantly, and sadly, correctly, assuming they'll still worship her.
Someone should probably point out to Lou Sarah and the rest of the Grifty Express crew that unlike her book tour, trying to visit historic sites that were relevant to the founding and early history of America will involve a heckuva lot of time spent in "fake America".
Washington DC isn't even a STATE fer chrissakes!
Honestly, I have a friend who could totally give her a tour, and teach her all sorts of fascinating things, like how DC didn't even have streetlamps or paved roads until after its first abortive experiment with Home Rule. (The provisional Governor at the time left office in disgrace, in part for misusing public funds on, err, infrastructure development)
I mean, he *could* do that, but he's Asian-American, and so he's like a minority type thing and it's not glamarous.
Have a fun tour of fake America, Lou Sarah!
How so? Everyone knows the American Revolution started at Ft. Sumter!
Even then, though! Fort Sumter's located in Charleston Harbor, and Charleston itself is a tiny island of blue in South Carolina, or so I've been led to believe, from transplants from down there.
When I worked as a reporter I remember that some companies would be actively shy about new products. No press releases or phone calls. They didn't even show up to major conventions. But dammit, it worked! We wrote day and night about these reclusive beasts. They made us WANT IT. And that is how you get press: not by informing the press about your plans or intentions, but knowing that, deep down, every reporter wants to put in the extra time and effort to help you sell more units.
Sarah Palin is a genius.
Sarah Palin wants to be the Segway of politics.
That's scary – the Segway is something that is useless and bad for you, that nobody thought they needed, until the media told them that they all wanted it.
Sarah Palin is a genius, really? Are you sure she isn't surrounded by people who make her look good instead?
Hey, without a schedule she can reserve the right to just fuckin quit halfway through if that's what she decides to do.
Ha ha ha. That's a good one. Like she ever even fucking started.
"without a schedule she can reserve the right to just fuckin quit "
Or with one, also, too.
"it's not about me"
New heights (or depths) of stupidity and deceit from Palin. Everything is about her all the time in her reptilian brain.
MTV's Real World Road Rules really jumped the shark with that one.
15% of nobody apparently support her running for president. The frenzy this high-minded exploration of American Values is sure to generate will probably convince the other 85% of something or other.
Victoria Jackson is probably available, though.
You don't want her. She is the main draw, as far as I can tell, for WND. Really…no, no no.
You don't want her. She is the main draw, as far as I can tell, for WND. Really…no, no no.
Bristol and Willow would be down, they'd look skinny next to Victoria.
If Victoria Jackson survived Toonces, so can Sarah.
Well then, how about that zombie cat in Pet Cemetery?
Shit, I thought that *was* Victoria Jackson!
Church? Damn, makes the hair on my neck stand up.
So let's see. I can hang out in the hotel bar and finish this margarita while swapping campaign horror stories with that funny AP bastard who always wears a plastic HELP! tie, or I can go to bed early so they can drag me out to some meaningless event where I'll get to shout questions at the candidate along with everyone else, and she'll just answer with a smile and wave. And then I'll have to write something coherent about it without actually being able to say how awful it all is..
I'll have another, thanks. Double.
"(I)t’s not about me, it’s not a publicity-seeking tour…" – Sarah Palin
If a drunkard hobbled up to me on the street and asked for change, saying, "It's not for (burp) booze," I'd give him my whole f***ing bankroll.
In a year or two, you can get the best of both worlds, when Sarah hobbles up to you on the street and begs you for spare change.
Know what happens when Palin and Gabriel García Márquez go off on a Magical Thinking Tour?
They run out of gas, somewhere in the desert.
One Hundred Years of Solitude….
One Hundred Years of Solitude for them…and a hundred years of peace for us.
A llama spits on her.
Don't you ever…ever…put that cunt's name in proximity to García Márquez.
EVER!
… unless in reference to The General in His Labyrinth, in which the General had too many mangos and too much to drink and fell asleep slipping out "fragrant farts" … on the bus.
I forgot to mention the part where he hits Palin on the head with a rock and imagines himself eating a bowl of CactusCunt stew…
Overheard at a Palin rally:
"Is 'Gabriel García Márquez' the same as 'Peter Gabriel'?"
That cockroach.
In the Hutu sense of the word?
The Stealth Bus.
The short stealth bus.
sounds like The Rutles' Tragical History Tour!
I have a new idea — the media should give pop quizzes to all of these self-professed "Constitutional experts" like Sarah.
All you need is Cash!
"Where in the World is Sarah Palin?"
A:Who gives a flying fuck?
I have a feeling many journalists are secretly very relieved…"But boss, how can I cover SP if we don't even know where she is?" And Saruh, do you really think this is how your corporate overlords court the press? Do you think they do all that wining and dining out of the goodness of their hearts?
They could also play it to the hilt with their expense accounts: "I heard she was headed for (insert golfcourse of choice here) and (generic camera person) and I hovered around the clubhouse all day waiting for her to show". I don't think you could keep it up for more than a day or two, but if you wanted a golfing holiday…
If the reporters are smart, they'll start planting anonymous tips that she's due to show up at all the great holiday resorts all summer long.
If Weiner's twitter account can be hacked, why not hers?
Because someone would actually be punished if it happened to a Republican.
"we’ll meet a lot of great Americans"
Guess she won't be at any of her rallies.
Goodness me. And here I thought a professional person in public life would thoughtfully provide an itinerary and agenda for her tour. It would include organized and carefully arranged press conferences and presentations along the way to present her credentials and give the American people the best and most thorough look at her policies and proposals possible.
This imaginary person would of course look forward to presenting her case to the widest possible audience, confident that success would only be more likely, the more people were exposed to the wisdom of her views (however misplaced that confidence might be).
Care would be taken to plan ahead so as to cause the least disruption and expense to individuals, municipalities, and law enforcement agencies along the way.
Oh wait, who are we talking about? Well, then BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
That brainless fucking attention whore cunt. Never mind.
I'm looking forward to a picture of her giving a speech to two people in lawn chairs.
Why should covering the comings and goings of a complete attention whore be work?
This just in: Palin's next stop will be New Hampshire so she can tour Lexington and Concord.
Where she might run into Bachman.
Tom Wolfe is "on the bus." He'll be chronicling this exciting trip through the American Heartland in his forthcoming book, "The Electric Cunt-Aid Asshole Test."
Given he's a National Review contributor & member of the inherited-wealthy, he's prolly not an impartial arbiter of Sarah Palin.
Granted, that's the point of New Journalism, but, still –
"Boss, I'm pretty sure she'll be in Bali for the weekend followed by Poipu Beach on Kauai and then she'll end up in Venice the following week. I'll send in my stories as they develop…"
I just got an hot tip. She'll be at… I forget the name of the place, but they have an open bar.
And the press conspires in its own humiliation playing Whack-A-Lou Sarah with the twat.
If they ignored her for 2 weeks she'd be giving head in the back of the bus like an aging groupie to the guys from The Nation while Todd took pictures.
C'mon…..roll up for the mystery tour!
♫ The magical mystery tour is coming to take votes away
Ruining Super Tuesday
So Obama can stay ♫
i liked this poster. It feels like wonkette.
She doesn't need the media to cover her directly. Dumbfucks with camera phones will tweet her whereabouts and the media can report on that.
The local rags and fox affiliates will send out a reporter & camera if someone sends in a tip (and they will), but they won't have any more thoughtful questions than, "So, have you made a decision about running yet?"
The local media can be counted on to be stupid, so she'll get her coverage, which will then be picked up by the wires.
Expect a bunch of non-stories.
Does this mean they can call her tour bus "The Caribou Barbie Mystery Machine"?
Go alliterative and you could have "The Mooselini Mystery Machine" or "Mooselini's Magical Misery Tour". It'll roll off the tongue so nicely.
Ruh roh!
What I want to know is why the media are falling for her description of their job (hunt the attention whore), and doing her bidding at every step.
Their actual job is to find out what she is distracting them from asking about. Content of the three books exposing her horseshit activities (2 out, 1 to come)? Dairygate? Even the FBI is apparently fiinally investigating that one. A big box full of other ethically/legally shaky activities? Asking why SarahPAC is paying for a "family vacation"?
Investigative fucking journalism, anyone?
It will move a lot more Mountain Dew if you have photo ops of the grifter queen spouting off patriotic horseshit and cheap shots at the media than actually investigating and reporting some dumb old crime or malfeasance. The only fun crime to cover is poor people crime like on COPS. Then the criminals are *usually* more stupid and stoned than the white collar folks. Investigative journalism only appeals to people who care, and that ain't mainstream America.
Isn't Levi about to reveal all with a kiss-and-tell book?
If anyone had any residual doubts that the Main-Stream Corporate Media Complex is only interested in selling Ad space and stroking its masters, this Gumball Rally of the Stupid should dispel them.
There’s no rational reason to devote a significant fraction of the resources of the most sophisticated communications and analysis network in human history to this rolling religious revival/freak show/festival of ignorance.
No rational reason but Profit, anyway.
Whack-a-mole politics. Uh, ok…
I am actually very happy for the Palin clan that they get to spend 24 hours a day of quality time together in a claustrophobic bus on a stinking summer trip through southern hell
….eatin' carbonated crap, churnin up inside. One more up of coffee, and then they ride.
I hope the air conditioning breaks.
If a bus rolls into a NH forest and there's no press around, does it make a sound?
Why yes, yes it does. It screams through a hate-spittle rusted megaphone, "Look at me! Look at me!."
Over, and over and over again.
Her fire in the belly was probably gas. Palin for FLATUS.
CUNTUS, also
Reform school is probably the most likely for them.
All of her press conferences will be timed to interrupt Celebrity Apprentice.
What if they gave a bus tour and nobody gave a fuck?
Maybe if they threw in a stop at a casino and a buffet…
They're in the process of it. But it won't make any difference in the coverage. They'll pound this as if everyone is begging for it.
I want teachers to have to do a little bit of work on a sentence like this and that would include not necessarily telling them beforehand where every noun and verb is going to be, you know, if they — we’ll say a thing, we’ll do a lot of ITPs, insane talking points, we’ll mangle a lot of great English words and then I’ll blurviate about that at the end of the clause and it’s not about syntax, it’s not a meaning-seeking utterance, it’s about highlighting the random things about my mental functions and the linguists can figure out where the nouns and verbs and adjecverbs and projunctions are going if they do their investigative work or they’re going to keep, kind of as you put it, going crazy trying to figure out what we’re doing here.
Nice introductory clause … but where's the beef? And the chicken, and the tuna, and the tofu, and the moosemeat at the very end?
You mean,"AND the very end" … thanks
That is one fine parody of Spoken Palinese.
And "meaning-seeking utterance" is a terrific term, with so many applications. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Doc Z.
It' was Sarah Palin in the bus with a dildo. Did I win this game of Clue?
Followed by a congratulatory call from the President of French-Canada.
i forgot about that one. nice.
Would that be the same Gutter van Susteren whose husband was a PR flack for Duh Guv'Nor but she (being both of the women) never manages to disclose that during one of their informercials together?
Meanwhile, Duh Gov'Nuh isn't like Carmen Sandiego. Ms. Sandiego had a tv show that lasted several years – and people actually cared where she went.
John Coale is still her chief advisor, so this
trainwreckbus tour is his idea. Remember when he sued his dry cleaner for making him look bad? Yeah John, it was the suit…Wasn't that Roy Pearson?
Right you are, Coale sued his tailor. My mistake.
AJWJr.:
When I walk through San Francisco's Financial District, I see a number of chaps who could sue their tailors. And their barbers…

Gov. Chris Christie has a heckofa case!
Zombie Jack Kerouac starved to death while trying to survive on a Palin's brain diet.
Strangely, every time they stop looking at her, she whines a blue streak.
Not even Hunter S. Thompson would have found a way to make covering this stunt in any way interesting.
Hunter, in his day, would have gotten a massive advance from Rolling Stone, weaseled his way on the bus by talking firearms, boar hunting and hi powered vehicles, sent out several dispatches that completely eviscerated Palin as a candidate and human being and would be ultimately thrown off the bus after a violent altercation involving Todd, Crown Royal and an A-B-C fire extinguisher. Then, he would haunt and decimate the Palin Grifter Corporation in print from the safety of an armed compound in Woody Creek.
Good God, I miss him
"sent out several dispatches that completely eviscerated Palin as a candidate and human being "
Any dispatches that report anything she says or does should do that. Why doesn't it seem to work?
It might have been interesting to *him*, but that would have been because he was tripping balls.
Well, if she doesn't want "the media" to know where she is, "the media" could just play along and say, "OK. we don't want to know." Solved.
I don't want the media to know anything about my little ol' busmachine tour. That's why I set up a website, put out a press release, and spent thousands of dollars to shrink wrap the bus with all kinds of tacky crap including my signature in letters eight feet high.
Now leave me alone! Get back here! Go away! Here I am!
If the founding fathers could get a look at that circus bus and what their work and blood hath wrought, they'd look at each other, shake hands, and surrender en masse to the British with a heart-felt apology to the King.
"I don't want the media to know anything about my little ol' busmachine tour. That's why I set up a website, put out a press release, and spent thousands of dollars to shrink wrap the bus with all kinds of tacky crap including my signature in letters eight feet high."
a/k/a "Stop looking at my implants".
Hmm. Highlighting the great historic sites along the bus trail by not mentioning them so the press can't be there to provide background on them. Right. That's SarahThink all right. Who does she think she's kidding?
Her goober base?
Buses are a bit socialist. It's more patriotic to travel in an RV. With a set of antlers on the hood. Towing a Hummer.
Dude, those aren't "buses". Sarah and her entourage are travelling in "first class" style in NASCAR-approved, million-dollar motorcoaches. These things are equipped with Sat TV, 50-inch plasmas and "Magic Fingers" in the Snowbilly Queen's bed.
I wonder if Todd gets to sneak off on one of the Harleys to sample a few of the local "gentlemen's clubs"?
I want to know where Todd is. Following him around would probably end up being a guide-book to the red light districts and brothels of America!
Then Sarah Palin challenged the press to a game of hide and seek. The press looked for her in every bar in town, but never found her. America breathed a sigh of relief. The end.
So on the one hand to educate the nation we have the POTUS, Harvard Law graduate, constitutional law professor, political science (major? minor?), US Senator, state legislator, etc., etc.
And on the other hand we have Palin the quitter 1/2 term governor of a tiny state with…brochures?
But she attended more colleges then Obama did!
Your shitting me.
People are actually still talking about this Stretch marked, Todd gobbler, Caribou killing, Daughter willi'n, Big tit, Half wit and then will quit from Wasillavit (sorry, hard to rhyme that part) Miss fit? (that's better) Did I say tit? Don't give a shit. Would never smell her bicycle seat (or Harley seat) Deadbeat. T-Putty meat?
Damn this rhythmic rhyme'n hurts.
Tupac? Man – get out of New Zealand. Your rhymes just aint right.
Just don't start rhymin' about Bristol's hymen.
Nothing screams "serious candidate" like roaming around aimlessly on a bus and refusing to answer reporters' questions.
"Toonces, no!" is Victoria Jackson's one lasting contribution to SNL. So, fitting, here.
Damn, got my hopes up for a minute. Not that it makes me happy when buses crash, or anything like that…
"Five College Wild Party",

OTR? Is that Palin shorthand for "otter"? She'll do a lot of otters? OH MY GOD IT'S A FURRY CONVENTION!
I'd like to see Triumph the Insult Comic Dog become her campaign manager.
She'll be visiting colleges for Bristol to attend. Next stop, Cornell.
Between this fake presidential run, the Tupac hack, and the Weiner non-hack front-paging every blog, online news outlet, and twitter feed in the country I guess the media is declaring this the Summer of Only Fake News. It's not enough that the lazy asses in infotainment aren't expected to look skeptically and credulously at facts; they now want to obliterate skepticism and credulity as objective criteria for judging the merits of news, altogether.
“this isn’t a campaign tour, except to campaign on our Constitution, our charters of liberty,”
She must think she is the Oracle of fucking Delphi.
I hope Palin gets the idea to drive to Hawaii to demand the Real Bonafide Long Form Birth Certificate.
This seems like a lot of work for her, just to find where her own clitoris is.
I don't care where she stops, as long as she doesn't BLOCK MY DRIVEWAY!
*lipstick^
Would hoping she is at the bottom of basement sump putting the lotion on be wrong?
"it’s not a publicity-seeking tour.." cough, cough, hack, gag, ROFLMAO…
This says it all: http://juanitajean.com/2011/05/30/sarah-palins-va...
every time I see a sarah palin quote I hear tina fey.
this helps a little.
Why do I see the Palin Bus tour of the East as a revised Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. No weed involved, but lots of meth and instead of Neil Patrick Harris, Denis Miller.
I think she is the only "person" in the world that I've actually ever hated. Fuck off you miserable cunt…
Wow, you must be a peaceful person.
I hate Bush, Cheney, Karl Rove, those pricks at Enron…
I *still* hate St. Raygun…
Come to think of it, I don't much care for Carrot Top either.
This is basically Palin's version of the 13-year old girl crying and telling her boyfriend, "It's over!"
… only to recant 20 minutes later after he apologizes (trying desperately to guess what he did) and promises to do better. Or at least that's what she's hoping for. If the media WERE to stop following her with cameras and trying to figure out where she's going, you know she'd come crawling back, crying, going "I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it!"
Once again proving that old adage: "Some US Americans out there don't have maps."
I was just thinking the same thing.
Down fisting troll finally runs the gauntlet!
I'm convinced she just really enjoys dressing like a biker.
Caught a glimpse of her in that black spray-painted above the knee skirt and those red fuck-me pumps working the chicks, chucks and mothafucks outside her Bus to Nowhere. You can't tell me she doesn't work the fap-factor to the Nth degree on her brainless minions. Some old geezer was posing for a pix with his arm around her and he was working that well-marbled flesh like there was no tomorrow.
Yet with that description I would fuck her tits, give her a nice pearl necklace and ask to be the Director of Homeland Security because I know hazmat.
I bet her tits are soft and mushy like smores.
Yeah downfister, I would do her like I fantasize like LimeyLizze. A real internet woman. Not like your mom.
Ouch! you are on your game today, fart!
"I bet her tits are soft and mushy like smores."
Five kids?
They hang down like a cow's bags, you betcha.
You know it. Even I have to admit she looked good in that cotton shirt in Gettysburg the other day.
It's really all that she has. There is nothing else to her. She can articulate the pain of so-called Middle America, perfectly, but she has no solutions for them. She does nothing to elevate them. All she does is wind them up and let them go like her personal flying monkeys. She's a manipulator to the nth degree.
If Sarah is nothing else, she's cunning. And, if anyone is confused, that is not a compliment.
Sarah's all about winding up the Flying Monkeys and solutions aren't part of the program. She's on a superstition-based crusade on Reason.
There's a beautiful woodland mushroom, of the genus Amanita. It's almost identical to edible mushrooms but it's full of deadly toxin. It's commonly referred to as the Destroying Angel. That's Sarah Palin.
Oh, it's also called The Fool's Mushroom.
Too bad the average 'Merikan is such easy game for a common trollop like her; and I do mean common. There is really nothing remarkable about her other than her looks and her drive for fame and fortune.
"If Sarah is nothing else, she's cunning. And, if anyone is confused, that is not a compliment."
Are you implying that she's… a cunning runt?
Watching Snowbilly pretending she doesn't want media attention is about as convincing (and nauseating) as watching a 50-year-old streetwalker fluttering her eyelashes and playing hard to get.
How will Rep. Bachmann top this?
Oh, I thought you were talking about Apple.
I tried to blow up the bus, but I burned my lips on the exhaust pipe.
I'm Sarah, and I'm here to represent the "Bitch is Too Damn Stupid and Won't Shut the Fuck up!" Party
Palin really puts the sugar in her own hog.
Attention-whore, thy name is Palin. This woman is a black-hole; nothing will ever satisfy her. This leaves the question of if the media simply stops covering Sarah Palin in a forest, does she still make a sound?
Imagine there's no Sarah,
It's easy if you try,
No Bristol below us…
America, it's gets better. I promise.
Well she sneaks around the US from DC to Salt Lake City,
She's the attention-seeking lady from Anchorage to Miami,
She'll take you for a ride on a mobile home to Iowa,
Tell me WHERE IN THE US IS SARAH PALIN… alin
No it doesn't work, she doesn't have enough syllables!
I ignored the homeless guy at the bus station screaming about artificial lungs and artificial brains, and I can ignore her.
There's a certain symmetry to that, considering that she has artificial "lungs" and *no* brains.
Looking for Palin? Follow the money.
Give her what she wants. Stop following her and reporting on her. I'd consider it a public service if I never hear that voice again.
Verily…her voice is like 1000 fingernails of Coulter on 1000 blackboards of Beck.
This is probably too late to the party, but I think of these things when I wake up too early…
She might be able to dodge the press, but I would guess that many of her followers (Henceforth known as Flying Monkeys) can operate at least simple video cameras and such. Plus, they know how to upload stuff to YouTube. Some moron will hear her say some moronic thing and claim it to be genius.
You can run, Sarah…but you can't hide.
I just used flying monkeys!
I don't think she wants to hide. This reeks of her little tirade about a month ago where she firmly stated that she no longer cared about what the LSM said about her.
She's so mavericky!
Do you think they refer to their bus as Motorcoach One? Are they all singing Partridge Family songs as the cruise down the highway? Does anyone know how to play "The License Plate Game"?
"if they do their investigative work"
She'd better hope that never actually happens.
"No, I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this and that would include not necessarily telling them beforehand where every stop is going to be"
I would pay good money to see the look on Silly Sarah's face the first time she tries this and no reporters bother to track her down. On second thought, no, I wouldn't, because a) I don't have money, b) I don't give a shit, c) I've already seen pictures of her pouting when things don't go exactly her way.
*sings to the tune of "Stalin's Cadillac"
Can't go left in —
Sarah Palin's tour bus.
"I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this and that would include not necessarily telling them beforehand where every stop is going to be"
So, let me see if I understand:
It's not enough that Lou Sarah is an infantile, self-obsessed attention whore; she also wants the media to *help* her be an infantile, self-obsessed attention whore by pretending to care where she's going and what/who she's doing, instead of, oh I don't know, actually covering news stories.
Palin is a moron, an idiot, a poseur, and she is ignorant. She is unqualified to hold any political office, at any level. She is completely uneducated, inexperienced and lacking in intelligent and intellectual knowledge about government and politics, law, civis, community affairs, defense, justice, the economy, finance, banking, trade, commerce, labor, the environment, energy, public safety, homeland security, the military, science, and most other issues. She is unqualified to be a mayor, a governor, a vice president or a president–because she is ignorant.
This comment should be required to appear at least once a day in every thread.
It is a Summer vacation paid for by Sarah-PAC, that is all.
You all know that she is not actually riding on the bus? Right? She is going from big hotel suite to big hotel suite where they have bendy straws waiting for her. That is why she skipped Gettysburg and came here to visit Trump instead.
Where is Ali G when we need him?
Her head would peg the density-meter.
