Boyo, you need to hold on a sec. That was overdone blogger spin about the Gulfstream airplane belonging to Samaritan’s Purse. It isn’t true. The story keeps getting repeated in anti-Palin blogs, but it’s still not true. That claim was a hoax that has already been debunked.

My understanding is that there were two different planes, one belonging to Samaritan’s Purse and the other belonging to Harper Collins. She used both of them at various times. AKM

If it really matters- more on the charter plane flights.

What continues to stun me about Palin is her absolute lack of self doubt. She has total belief and confidence in her crushing incompetence and intellectual shallowness. Gloria Steinhem makes a devastating analogy in “Going Rouge”, when she says: “To vote in protest for McCain/Palin would be like saying, “Somebody stole my shoes, so I’ll amputate my legs.”

The Sarah Palin Book of Lies was brought in by one of the ladies in the office for our Christmas White Elephant Exchange (aka Yankee Swap or Dirty Santa Exchange). Generally, the idea is to bring in a joke gift… It drew a huge laugh… but was never “stolen.”

Too funny!

AKM – you state.

“I believe it was Celtic Diva that broke the plane story originally, which was expanded by Joe McGinniss. She spoke to me about the story before it was posted anywhere else. I linked at the bottom of the page. Geoffrey Dunn added much more to the Wooden Leg story than I had seen before, but wasn’t sure where that popped up at first, but I don’t think it was the PI…I think it was a blog. Not sure. AKM”

Yes, it is true Celtic Diva broke a story that Palin travelled one day by a plane owned by Samaritan Purse. That is a completely different plane story to the story which is now viral in the media. The plane story which Palingates researched and proved. There are two planes involved in these stories.

Palingates wrote about the Samaritans Purse plane story and gave Celtic Diva proper credit when they did so.

However the Samaritans Purse plane is not the Guulfstream luxury jet plane provided by Harper Collins and which Palingates wrote was used by Palin on her tour. This was a separate plane story by Palingates and was the one which went viral not the Samaritans Purse one.

Additionally, Palingates also deserves credit for the plane story as Joe McGinnis contacted Patrick at Palingates for additional information regarding the plane which Palin is using for the “bus tour”. That information was used by Joe McGinnis in his blog and he credits Palingates for providing it and the inspiration for his story.

@ 15: Mo

— thanks for the link to the fast times with that video of Palin nitwits who showed up to buy her book and get it signed. Wow, that was a painful 8 minutes to watch. I did make it all the way through, though I had to force myself to finish watching. No surprise (and my hat’s off to the interviewer) that most of them had no idea of Sarah’s specific stance on any political policiy when pressed to go beyond the typical buzz words they were spewing.

Jane @ 60 – Palin is pretending to be a bus-ridin’ populist.

If I am getting this right, she is flying between bookstore locations, presumably the bus is also traveling to each of these locations. So she gets off the bus at the airport, flies to the airport closest to the next stop, the bus is driven to that airport to pick her up, then take her to the next signing location. Talk about waste of energy. Of course, as soon as SP opens her mouth she adds to global warming. You betcha.

An 83 year woman that I know told me today that all her family members except for one have switched from the Republican party to the Democrats because of all the bull crap and Sarah. Way too go Sarah!

Have to say “The Rogue to Nowhere” was the funniest line I’ve heard yet.
The way the expenses are adding up on the non-seller book and all the promos with bus and planes, HC must have purchased an an Insurance policy that would pay them double IF the deals don’t make their bottom line profit. After all, that is how big business is done in this country…a default swap on Scarah?
Wonder if they are expecting any overseas sales? They’ll probably ship a boat-load to Russia since it’s so close…also.
Where can she run to after this fiasco leaves her red-faced and completely undone by the backlash from the book? Oh oh. It’s not like she could hide anywhere in AK and mix in with the natives. LA calling.

Perhaps this was posted before and I missed it.

I “read” most of my books on my mp3 player and get the books for free from our local library site, who gets them from Clevnet. I just saw that Sarah’s book is available to download and….yikes…is read by her! I thought there could be nothing worse than a book written by her…but having to listen to her read it has to be a millions times worse!!
