The Chopper and the Shopper
~L-R Paul Teutul, Sr., the dead "office bear", Governor Sarah Palin
Hockey mom, apparently now turned biker chick Sarah Palin has just welcomed the cast and crew of Orange County Choppers to the great state of Alaska. Their custom motorcycle business is featured on the TLC network’s “American Chopper.”
The Chopper and The Shopper will join ass-kickin’-for-America forces Thursday when Palin appears on the motorcycle opera on the occasion of the construction and presentation of a bike celebrating Alaska’s 50th anniversary as a U.S. state. No word on whether Palin will straddle the hog herself.
Even more press mockery from the Lower 48. Just what we need. (Pulls bag lower on head)
But here’s the amusing part.
“It means so much to the state of Alaska that these guys are building this bike that will honor statehood here,” Palin says in the episode, airing April 30 at 9 p.m.
I almost feel like standing on the street and taking an informal poll. “Excuse me, ma’am? How much does it mean to you that OC Choppers is building a bike to commemorate our statehood?” I’m predicting a lot of shrugging, and incredulous looks.
Paul Sr. hangs out with the Governor in her office and talks about the Alaskan weather, snowmobiling and fishing in the summer. “I inherit whatever [husband] Todd rejects from the year before,” Palin says.
And you gotta love vague writing. Is it me or does anyone else have a mental image of Sarah Palin sitting on a pile of year-old rejected fish. A new way to deal with bycatch perhaps?
Can’t we just offer Palin the top spot at the Board of Tourism, and let someone else try being governor?
Again, from the previous thread: doesn’t her statement that she inherits the Arctic Cat equipment prove the Arctic Cat ethics complaint against her?
Owhole…I don’t see how. If Todd owns something, so does Sarah. There is no transfer of property there. And, if Todd buys a new snowmachine every year and lets Sarah drive the old one…there is no issue.
Of course, if Todd is GIVEN a new snowmachine every year, in exchange for the publicity of his racing, Sarah’s jacket ad, and the bonus Artic Cat links from the official state website…we that just might be a little ethics problem whether the old snowmachines every make their way into Sarah’s hands….
SARAH PALIN’S CRAZY BRAIN-DEAD CLAN
(sung to the Beatles song “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”)
About twenty years ago or so,
Sarah Palin married Todd her beau
They’ve been trying to enhance her style
With rimless glasses and a great big smile
So may I introduce to you
The folks you’ve known for all these years,
Sarah Palin’s crazy brain-dead clan.
We’re Sarah Palin’s crazy brain-dead clan,
The folks that you’ve all come to know
We’re Sarah Palin’s crazy brain-dead clan,
You wouldn’t want to be our foe.
Sarah Palin’s crazy, Sarah Palin’s crazy,
Sarah Palin’s crazy brain-dead clan.
There’s Bristol and there’s Levi
Good Ole Mike Wooten too
And don’t forget our pal Wayne Ross,
We’d love to take him home with us,
We’d love to take him home.
We don’t really want to end this song,
But Todd’s sister just fired up the bong
And the travel agent’s on the phone,
Seems Sarah’s flying off to Rome
So let us bid adieu, to you
And we’ll see you in about three years
We’re Sarah Palin’s Crazy Brain-Dead Clan.
That interview was filmed in January, according to the article in Esquire, so well before the Arctic Catastrophe.
The OC guy has a lot in common w/Palin. That being that he berates and belittles his children in order to control them.
I always am astounded by the programming on “The Learning Channel”. How does a show about customizing motorcycles headed up by a bad tempered man constitute learning? Perhaps it teaches us how not to act?
Same with Jon and Kate + 8 and the Duggars. Perhaps The Learning Channel does instruct us through showing us examples of what we should not do. We learn through negative enforcement.
The Palin Family might find a home after all; they can have a “reality show” on the Learning Channel that instructs saner minds how NOT to behave. Yup, yup, I do believe that will be the next door that God opens up to them….
It’s stupid crap like this and interviews with MTV that this ‘lady’ lives for. It’s not running our state it’s the attention and sadly it’s a big part of her mental illness.
Hey LynnRockets!
Yesterday, I was listening to a version of Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode To Billie Joe,” and I realized that “Bill”ie Jo McAllister threw something off the Tallahatchie bridge. Is this a clue to BabyGate?
Also too, the digi clock in the background of the opening meet and greet scene shows that it was 7 18 22:51…must mean our Sarah put in a late night at the Anchorage office because some cameras were commin’ around.
But, they made us think it was winter, what w/the opening scenes of the Arm from Alyeska, oh, and the big guy wearin’ his “eskimo” outfit. (I found that comment to be very offensive, especially after reading an article today regarding to what high esteem our Gov purports to hold the Natives of our state.)
In all fairness, I guess that someone coming even in summer to our state, from SoCal, would perhaps have to swaddle themselves in “eskimo” garb to stay warm. I see a lot of that from Lo48 tour groups that come to my gardens in the summer. I’ll be out in tank top and shorts (as I am today as, HOLY CRAP, it’s 62 here in Wasilly!) and these folks are running around in the same coats I wear to go skiing in December!
Please, no offense meant to those whose blood is thinner and certainly no offense towards all of our Lo48 compatriots on this site and others, I was just sayin’. I also get sick from heat whenever we go to Hawaii, so there ya go, it goes both ways!
lynnrockets is baaaaaaack! and doing the Beatles!! YAAY! love it.
This interview was done in January someone said. That clears up a lot – GINO looks relaxed and happy. Now that she has all of those pesky ethics complaints and disasters with the Legislators (WAR and Senate appointment), not so much. She looks a bit drawn and somewhat heavier these days – and wearing comfortable clogs. Does anyone know if she might be “with child?”
Not being snarky about that, just wondering.
Sarah Palin on a show with an emotionally abusive man from a dysfunctional family…sounds about right.
WHORE. Sorry…but. That just strikes me dumb. BOTH kinds.
I noticed the Blue Welcome home Gov Banner hung over the couch. How long is she keeping that thing up.
What a tribute, only in Sarah’s eyes. Bet she’s excited about riding the big vibrator. Ew, I’m gonna go fishin.
“It means so much to the state of Alaska that these guys are building this bike that will honor statehood here”.
I think Palin is starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Joe the motorcycle guy, from a reality show on TDC, on basic cable? In all fairness, Palin looks more intelligent than the bike nimrod. Is he a Republican voter?
Fail’in is an obsessive-compulsive narcissist. She just can’t move on after all that attention.
Time for Sara Benincasa to get back into action. We need some new Boss Hog comedy stylings. Same with SNL.

How does this portray her as anything close to a fiscal conservative?
OC Chopper is a great company but it’s part of the California narrative. It’s their culture, not ours. At least Christo would wrap something Alaskan in pink plastic… an OCChopper bike doesn’t relate to Alaska in any way.

____________________________
Here is my thoughts….
*Palin claims they aren’t rich, so there is no way that Todd can afford to buy a new racing machine every year.
*The SI interview (3page spread) states that Todd gets “deep discounts” on his machine along with everything else (they were showing how some racers have to spend around $30,000. yearly just to race).
*If she is getting the previous years machines that he “rejected” then obviously he must be getting more than one if he is able to “reject” one, or he is getting to choose one and they allow her to take one that he doesn’t.
*With sponsorships comes obligations and obviously he is going to be required to advertise and promote their product especially considering the amount he is being sponsored for.
She is making the case for this easier and easier, in my opinion.
I wish I could write as well as you, lynnrockets.
Here’s my idea (sung to People)
Users, users who use users
are the slimiest people in the world
Really nice, lynnrockets. That’s not an easy song to parody well. You did it.
Is Sarah asking for another ethics violation by using the Office of the Gov. to promote herself being on the Chopper show? Is this benefiting Alaska??? Who is getting the bike?, I thought it was to be raffled off, oh maybe that was the gun!!!
winkwinkWA Says: April 29th, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Who is getting the bike?
===
Are there people that want the bike? Why?
As was disected over on PA, I think that “clock” on her wall is the countdown to the end of this term clock, so it was indicating that she had 718 days left. Someone over there said that the interview happened in Dec., right before Christmas, so I think the “21″ at the end of the “clock” may have meant it was being filmed on Dec. 21st, which would result in 718 days being just about the right number of days till the end of this term in early Dec. 2010.
I guess it does sort of go with her new customized assault rifle she’ll be getting next month. It’s a good look for her though – bike, personalized assault rifle – her new campaign slogans could be about her assault on ….. everything?
“I inherit whatever [husband] Todd rejects from the year before,” Palin says.
Yeah, I had the same thoughts when I read it. What a weird word salad.
I don’t know how lynnrockets belts these out – and so fast, but I do love them especially The Beatles!! I cannot believe anyone could sit comfortably on a couch with that bear carcass, but then I guess if you shoot wolves out of helicopters, you really don’t have a conscience anyway. God, I am so sick of this woman. Just keep waiting and hoping for her to hit that iceberg.
She is looking a little pale and wan, but I thought she looked a little thinner.
There are all kinds of wrong about this. Idiotic, insulting, inappropriate, and inane are just a few words that come to mind. But, hey, who gets the bike? Is this #14? It’s utterly exhausting to keep up with her ridiculousness!
The commenters on Huffington Post are really having fun with this one.
EyeOnYou @17
I don’t remember which interview it was with Todd, but he talked about preparing for the Irondog. He gets two new machines each year. One of them is utilized as a test machine, and it gets lots of hours on it to find it’s weaknesses. Those weaknesses are then corrected on the race machine by making modifications to it. Late in the process, the race machine is made ready and put through testing prior to the race.
If SP goes out riding on last year’s test machine, where’s the problem in that??
Um…….not just NO………HELL NO !! Here is the only woman Gov. that looks right on , or for that matter , near a Harley. sarah is a wannabe.

austintx–ROTFLMAO!
All I can say (well, it’s not actually ALL I can say ..) is that if Snowmachinegate doesn’t confirm Catgate, it certainly bears the IRS auditing these people.
Maybe they have declared everything all legally on their tax returns and paid due taxes for benefits recieved. But why is my SpiderSense tingling, suggesting that the Palin’s themselves really don’t have enough of a clue as to what actually is taxable and not, especially concerning things given to them, to have completed their tax forms correctly?
As I recall, the firm of H & R Block did their 2006 and 2007 taxes. HUH?!!!!
I’m Governor of Alaska, and I don’t pay a Tax Attorney a little more out of my pocket (which is tax deductable on the form, honey!) to hire a Tax Accountant with some knowledge of stuff like, governmental ethics laws, gift declarations for government employees, y’know, stuff they should have more expertise in than H & R BLOCK?!!!
No disrespect to the hard workers at the Block firm, but really HRBlock, do you count among your clients Govs. C. Crist, D. Patterson, A. Schwartzenegger, R. Perry? Or any US Governors except Sarah Palin?
A bit OT, but I checked the tax code, and yep, legally, if Tripp was born on even the last day of December 2008, someone can take him as a dependant (tax deduction) on their 2008 taxes.
But only one person can.
My first guess?
It ain’t gonna be Levi, the child’s father.
Second guess. It ain’t gonna be Bristol, the child’s mother.
Well of course it won’t be Bristol; she’d prob. still being claimed as a dependant too!
oops, “she’s”
austin tx- my goodness! i love ann richards,may she rest in peace, i will always remember that sweet woman…loveb
This was my favorite:
PALIN: You do so many good things for some of the other states, also. You’ve got that patriotism in you that people just so respect. Thank you for that.
So, what is “patriotic” about making motorcycles?
Speaking of motorcycles–since the sun was out today they were everywhere! Be extra careful switching lanes on the Glenn, because they have a way of sneaking up on you!
“Can’t we just offer Palin the top spot at the Board of Tourism, and let someone else try being governor?”
You know. . . this is a flipping brilliant idea.
““It means so much to the state of Alaska that these guys are building this bike that will honor statehood here,” Palin says”
WHO IN AK even knew there was a bike?
The blogs are eating this up!!!
“Oh sweet Jeezus, the two biggest redneckery attention-whoring families have found each other.”
Gawker
Closet Mudpup: If SP goes RIDING on a BORROWED snowmachine, yes, there’s no harm in that. But if that snowmachine is resident and available for use to the Palin’s 24/7, it is in fact “owned” by them. If the company did not ask for payment, then it is a “gift:, the amount of the gift therefore should be included on their taxes for that fiscal year.
The harm? The harm is when someone gets away with something that you or I could not simply because of their position, which is especially galling if that position is an elected public official.
If some company gave my hubby two jetskis and said one was a discard and I ended up using it, you bet the IRS would tell me I had to pay taxes on it.
I know I’ve added the tax thing into the ethics complaint thing, but the fact is that even if it’s not a valid AK ethics complaint, it could be a very valid federal tax law complaint
LOL@katiebegood!
I TOTALLY agree. Motorcycles = patriotism in Palin’s magical world…
When I opened up the article about Sarah and the Motorcycle Gang over at HuffPo, I noticed that it’s another article about Sarah courtesy of People Magazine. Who is the Greta over there that is so taken with Sarah that People is her media outlet?
Can she string togeather a sentence without committing an ethics violation?
“If some company gave my hubby two jetskis and said one was a discard and I ended up using it, you bet the IRS would tell me I had to pay taxes on it.”
Moreover, these amounts spent on him goes to prove, Todd’s, Arctic Cat, association is not a hobby or a once in a lifetime, sport, it is an occupation.
An occupation, Palin, was seen in Jet Black and Fluorescent Green, advertising.
I heard it was gonna have a custom made M-16 built into the exaust system with the throttle being the trigger!
BORN TO BE REVILED
(sung to the Steppenwolf song “Born To Be Wild”)
Get your chopper runnin’
Head up to Alaska
Lookin’ for Wasilla
And the house where Sarah lives
Yeah Barbie go make a snowman
Tell the First Dude I want a race
Fire all of your guns at once
Don’t shoot someone’s face
She likes snowmachines though
Is it any wonder
Wearin’ “Arctic cat”
And who knows what else under
Yeah Sarah take that Bridge to Nowhere
And that jet you sold on Ebay
Blast wolves from out of the sky
And then blast into space
Like a true selfish child
You were born
To be reviled
When you speak, you lie
Why Sarah Palin, Why?
Born to be reviled
Born to be reviled
You seem to think you’re stunnin’
You might impress that bike guy
Enough for a hog ride
It’s a thrill that you can’t buy
Hey Sarah you might get your own show
That they film in a warmer place
Do you have any tan lines,
Like the ones on your face?
Like a true selfish child
You were born
To be reviled
When you speak, you lie
Why Sarah Palin, Why?
Born to be reviled
Born to be reviled
ot-ot-Sarah now has a Tweeter page–Bill Macallister just announced it on some radio show…found this out on the OTHER site.
“I noticed that it’s another article about Sarah courtesy of People Magazine. Who is the Greta over there that is so taken with Sarah that People is her media outlet?”
Lorenzo Benet (Author) of, Trailblazer: An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin and People Magazine, writer and editor.
“Sarah now has a Tweeter page–Bill Macallister just announced it on some radio show”
Palin, is in a serious quest to keep herself in the public eye. Guess, no one told her THEY ARE LAUGHING AT HER not with her.
The idiot should have listened to Katie. “”I think she should keep her head down, work really hard and learn about governing.”
As an Alaskan, I caught myself saying ‘huh?’ when GINO said ‘it means so much to the State of Alaska’ that this bike is being built.
Who in Alaska? I didn’t even know they were building it. Who is paying for it? Where will it be stached? Palin house?
I used to like watching American Chopper years ago before all the yelling got old and annoying. Growing up in a village, seeing items being created is something that I enjoy. Watching a bike being formed from scratch was interesting, but as I mentioned, the Yelling, hotheaded attitude, insults and rude behavior was to much to watch.
Come to think of it, Gino and Mr. Teutul should fit.
I find her body language in the picture quite telling. She couldn’t pull herself much tighter into herself.
Palin, hoarding motorcycles now? What is with her fascination, she trying to get some, “Gifts”, that have resale value?

“I find her body language in the picture quite telling. She couldn’t pull herself much tighter into herself.”
Ya know the old geezer was comparing her behind his shades to her to that chick in, Nalin Palin.
Terpsichore @ 39
O.K., I see what you mean. But even if those snow machines are provided to Todd as part of his racing sponsorship, they are not a gift – they are paid for by his providing exposure for the A/Cat brand in return. Sponsorship $ are advertising $. The potential tax ambiguity I see is whether they are owned by Todd Palin as an individual, or another entity, as would be the case if his racing operation is set up as a company. Then the issue of family use, etc., could run afoul of IRS regs. I’d assume that his race team’s used machines could rightfully be valued very low given the rough use and damage they’ve sustained. Perhaps even written down to salvage value.
Um, what does a state do with a motorcycle? To the best of my knowledge, Nebraska has never received one.
AustinTX: I was asked once in an interview who my hero was… I was totally unprepared for that one and the only person I could think of was Ann Richards. It impressed the hell out of them.
I bet he was appalled by that bearskin draped casually over the back of that sofa!
“Um, what does a state do with a motorcycle? To the best of my knowledge, Nebraska has never received one.”
Nothing. This was another lame ass attempt, by Palin, to grab a headline. Most likely as well, her way of having an interview, in the governors office for publicity, as IF it was state business but really was another personal one. She has been trying to find a SCREW YOU, to Alaskans for the ethics violation for that Greta, “Interview”.
Lol, loving how miserable she looks.
“I bet he was appalled by that bearskin draped casually over the back of that sofa!”
Betcha it stinks too.
@PalinSucks
Betcha it stinks too.

lol…wouldn’t really know and don’t want to
Who’s paying for the bike? The Teutuls don’t build custom bikes and give them away for free.

chopper-gate?
PalinSucks #43, I’m not sure what you’re saying. Todd’s racing could be considered an ‘occupation’ as opposed to a ‘hobby’ but the IRS has very strict rules and guidelines about that.
The IRS goes by Schedule C in these maters – and if you try to claim a business loss for a company, three years running, the IRS will probably audit you and the y will probably tell you that your “business” is a “hobby”.

OC Choppers has nothing to do with the California narrative. They’re in New York, not California. Different Orange County. Which doesn’t really change the point you were making. What does a motorcycle shop across the country in New York have to do with Alaska. They do build “theme” bikes. So what did they do? Make the handlebars look like moose antlers? Cover the seat with polar bear fur?
“The Chopper and The Shopper will join ass-kickin’-for-America forces Thursday when Palin appears on the motorcycle opera on the occasion of the construction and presentation of a bike celebrating Alaska’s 50th anniversary as a U.S. state. No word on whether Palin will straddle the hog herself.”

Did he meet with her because his show is losing viewers?
Ooh, ooh, I have relevance! (Much waving of hands from California…)
One of my bestest buddies growing up is the editor on this TV show…I have sent a note of condolence — can you imagine having to edit raw footage of that voice!!!???
I’ll let you know if he has any juicy bits to share…
QUESTION– is this chopper donated to the state or is the state paying for it?? Is it a gift to the state or Sarah? Hope IRS is watching and adding it to the growing list.
Oh Boy! Now she can Appear on Sons of Anarchy on FX!
Would love to see Katey Segal smack her in the face with a skateboard or kick her azz!!!!
…And Katey would Kick her Azz for havin’ that Bearskin!!!!
The comments on HuffPost are hilarious.
Like when is Palin announcing her “Buy me a Motorcycle” fund?
There are pictures of the bike on flickr.
Wildlife of Alaska are pictures on the tank. No polar bears. But there is a moose, suitable for burgers, a bear, suitable for snaring and poisoning, eating a salmon, suitable for collateral damage by factory trawlers catching pollack, the tailfin of a whale, suitable for dieing in Cook’s Inlet and…..a baby seal. Baby seal? Isn’t that Canada…where they club them? I don’t see any wolves. I guess all that red blood would have clashed with the blue paintjob. The they never could have made the helicopter big enough to identify Palin holding her automatic weapon. I have no clue what inspired the paintjob for the State of Alaska on the fender. Looks like it’s a woven interpretation of fur and wood or something.
It’s a ho-hum job by OC Choppers. The design is nothing to write home about. All of the bling is in the paint job, and they outsource that to a very talented guy.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrenner/3297264469/in/photostream/
HA! Found it.
No wonder Palin didn’t know that much about this. She had nothing to do with it.
The bike was built for charity. Commissioned by Unique Machines of Alaska. Already raffled off.

I wonder who won?
Here are more info. But nothing on who won.

The other side are peeing their pants wantin’ to see GINO ride a Hog!
God they are so Jr. high….
A new bike for Sarah. Now she can sport a biker jacket with “American Taliban” on the back. Great colors!!!
Couldnt they have found him a jacket that fit?Or one that looked more like a guys jacket?
I pity that bear hide behind her that it has to put up with her BS all the time.
Has anyone else noticed those are $200 Paige Denim jeans on Miss I-Shop-At-WalMart Hockey Mom up there?
.
When asked if he’d like to kill a turkey on national TV, Teutles reportedly said, “I can’t do dat! She’s da Guvanah!”
.
I love it So Sarah inherits Todd’s Boxers?
Wow what an idiot and a moron……….. Ziegler was right …….he just did not know it when he was interviewed a few months ago.
I am curious though Is there documentation that she has been riding bikes? That never got reported by the Evil Media that I know of till now.
Boy, her dress code for work has gone to heck. Every day we have been seeing clogs and puffy vests….and in this photo she is in blue jeans…a Governor? If she is planning on living in the White House she may want to spiff up a bit. Sheeesh……..
I love the video clip of her and Paul, Sr. in her office. She talks about what a Patriot he is, blah, blah blah………. Anyone who has watched that show to see how awful this family treats each other and every other word has to be bleeped out….just great family values….disgusting…….disfunctional in every way. Maybe that is why Palin seemed so thrilled. Hillbillies.
They kind of look alike.
comments are a hoot !!
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/29/palin-choppers/
Maybe this year SP and Toad will head to Sturgis and she can enter the contest there – probably would win, you betcha! That would show Cindy McCain!
Lynnrockets – You rock! The Beatles and now Steppenwolf??!!! (standing and cheering from VA)
AustinTX – I love Anne Richards too, may she rest in peace. Her daughter is doing great work now with Planned Parenthood. These are some ladies that Haras could learn something from.
American Chopper…..Shucks and Wow !
My DH used to like the show here in Oz….then I saw ‘him’ (Chopper) with McCain that angered me….now with Palin ? Is Chopper nuts ? He’s backing the wrong horse and we here in Oz will NOT watch him anymore…. !
Clan leaders of two of the most dysfunctional families in America, how appropriate.
Two thoughts–
Doesn’t that guy look like W.A.R.?
When she said (something like) “we can ride the bike down to the fishin’ hole,” I thought, what the hell is she talking about? We are in Alaska, not Arkansas–our fish don’t live in holes. Doesn’t she know that?
“”"Although initially nervous about the meeting, Paul Sr. says that he felt Palin was “a real down to earth person to talk to.” “”
Wow – those two are really into each other, eh? Shades, crossed arms, crossed legs; what are they scared of?
“I get all of Todd’s rejects from the year before” …..Hmmmm…is she trying to cover up the Arctic Cat clothes issue? I hardly doubt they were Todd’s from a previous year! Nice try, Sarah.
austintx…I agree, Ann Richards was a hero! She cared about the people in the State of Texas. She was a great governor. God Rest Her Soul.
You can lead a polician to water, but you can’t make her THINK!
This had REDNECK written all over it; but certainly not out of place!
I am laughing my ass off because when Palin talked about “Todds rejects” I immediatelt thought of fish too! I could not imagine what she was “doing” with them. It was creepy. She is not going away folks. Any more than Glenn Beck or michelle Bachman is. I feel so sad for AK. We deserve so much better. Plus, there are really important things to resolve, like diminishing chinook runs, & getting the rural areas stabilized for next winter. Meanwhile for Palin & her people to think that the Gov. “twittering” is significant to any one is pathetic. What an incrediable self-centered narcissist Palin is. Ak. has got to geared up to get a demo. in the Gov. office!
I just think she’s trying to scrape the bottoms now for ‘votes’. I too noticed the body languague. She seem rather uncomfortable with the biker guy. Sometimes photo ops speaks volumes.
I just read where Madame Palin will now be a featured ‘speakerette’ for a councel that Eric Cantor has just set up. As a GOP, I have just finished E-mailing Cantor to let him know in uncertain terms, that she does not represent ME or MY FAMILY.
Boo Boo bear. I’m sure she’s dressed up because it’s the first time she’s seen the inside of the Gov’s office in almost a year. Frankly, Our Gov (Huntsman) respects the office so much that he will never enter it without a coat and tie on. I do feel for you all in Alaksa. A beautiful state, with a very ugly situtation with your gov.
Your last line is priceless and powerful because it is SO dead-on.
Excellent post!
I have a bike (’86 Harley Sportster). However, this made me ill. While beautiful bikes are works of art, having palin in the equation demeans the whole process. I wrote them to ask why they were hanging out with this disaster? I have yet to get a response, but had to ask! Just sayin’! It seems she must ingratiate herself in all matters public.
I got a response from the motorcycle folks! They said “we’re not hanging out with Palin, just publicity”. I am pleased they responded.
You governor seems to be as whacky as ours down here in California.
