Plano Book Signing x 2!
15 12 2009Here’s a two step of write ups from Plano, Texas! LisanTX and Miss Sunshine attended the Going Rogue book signing last week, and submitted the following “Boots on the Ground” reports! Getting these to you with pictures has been an interesting exercise. You know how every once in a while the computer just doesn’t want to listen? Well after putting my hands around the monitor stem, squeezing as hard as I could and yelling, “Yes you WILL convert those images to .jpgs, you WILL!” Guess what? It did! I’ll have to remember that for next time. So a belated, but worth the wait pair of reports!
First, LisanTX!
Plano Palin, MissSunshine and I (LisanTX) attended the Going Rogue book signing in Plano, Texas (a wealthy Dallas suburb) on Friday, December 5th. This sight of the bus greeted me as I came over a hill, driving to the book store.
Immediately after parking and getting out of my car, I saw this vehicle:
Miss Sunshine arrived early and was allowed into the bookstore cafe. Palin arrived shortly after 11:00 a.m. and immediately went upstairs to begin signing books. There was no speech even though a podium and sound system were set up in front of the store. (Remember this was the morning after the “birther” radio interview.)
Palin shook one or two hands at the most and got to work. MissSunshine tried to take a picture from the cafe, but a store employee frowned and gestured angrily at her mouthing “no pictures!” Reporters were not allowed near Palin, but photographers were allowed to take pictures. (What does that say to you?) There were policemen everywhere! Four motorcycle cops kept watch from the nearby parking garage, one stationed on each level. Several policemen guarded each door to the store. Too many to count were guarding the bus.
As MissSunshine said in her summary of our adventure posted at http://www.themudflats.net/forum/index.php/topic,8284.60.html “There were policemen everywhere, and everyone seemed a bit cowed. The Palin Police State.” Tickets to this event sold out in two days; neither MissSunshine nor I had a ticket, so we investigated the bus.
Others mentioned earlier that the bus has signage clearly soliciting contributions to and for SarahPAC. I took a quick picture of the license plates on the rear of the bus, and yes, the license plates are the same as those on the bus at earlier book signings. So apparently there is only one bus.
However, a policeman quickly and sternly warned me to move away from the rear of the bus. I didn’t have a “real” Brian to photograph at the book signing, but I printed a picture of him and MissSunshine was kind enough to hold his likeness in front of the bus for a photograph. Oh, I have to mention that she wore bumpits in her hair for the occasion!
In case you can’t see the moose antler sitting in the front window of the bus, here is a closer shot:
MissSunshine next graciously posed with her copy of “Going Rouge” and her personalized copy of “Going Rogue.” She replaced the cover art on Palin’s book with a funny art piece by Zina Saunders and she added another funny political cartoon on the back. Inside, she taped both The Slate and HuffPost indexes into the book for quick reference.
At around 1:00 p.m. we learned that the book store was allowing people without tickets to get in line as “stand bys” for the possibility of getting a signed book, so we joined the line. However, around 1:40 we were told that the store was out of books to be signed and that Palin would be leaving. Those still in line moved over to the side of the building to catch a glimpse of Palin leaving the store from a back door. The area was roped off and we were quite a distance back from the exit and the bus. A few signs and flags were hauled out for the farewell.
Todd joined the book tour in Plano and we saw him holding Trig.
Sarah came out, shook hands with a few policemen, and boarded the bus.
One fan was so overcome by seeing her star that she asked a policeman if she could have some of the warning tape as a souvenir.
The bus left the book store led by a police motorcade and followed by police escorts in squad cars and SUVs. Going rogue, indeed.
***********************************
And now, MissSunshine!
***********************************
Whew! I just got back from SP’s Plano, Texas booksigning. It was a clear, cold day and I arrived one hour before her scheduled arrival, where a crowd of several hundred people waited. I went around to the side of the building, where a kind-faced policeman let me slip inside the cafe for a cup of hot chocolate. After Palin arrived, no one was allowed in without a ticket, and only in groups. This was a newly built, upscale European-style neighborhood/shopping district and the people in the store, and outside, were dressed in middle to upper class clothes and neatly groomed. And completely white. The lady sitting next to me had recently moved to Texas and hoped she could escape “the gays,” as she had lived in California and Maine which were entirely too liberal about such matters.
Shortly after 11:00 a.m. I had almost decided SP was going to be late, when I heard the crowd outside the store give a muffled shout, and I stood at my table to see a flash of red jacket and brunette hair. I grabbed my husband’s digital camera and shot wildly in her direction, and a store person frowned and gestured angrily at me, mouthing “no pictures!” I guess she went to the second level of the store in the elevator, as I did not see her go up the stairway, where those with press passes lumbered up the incline carrying cameras and tripods. Ten or fifteen minutes passed, and then the groups of ticket holders were escorted in.
Nothing could be seen or heard of the second floor from the ground floor. On the ground floor, the sales assistants stood idly about. Originally, the second floor was to be closed off for Palin, and the ground floor was to be open for regular customers, but no one could get past security without a ticket. There were policemen everywhere, and everyone seemed a bit cowed. The Palin Police State.
LisanTX showed up, and waved to me outside the cafe windows. I asked both the policeman outside, and a store management lady if Lisa could join me at my table, but was told I should leave if I did not have a ticket. Oh, well. I gathered my things and left.
We walked around the well-manicured grounds, with statues of cowboys and cattle between the shops and chatted indoors at the nicest Dunkin Donunts location I had ever been in. I showed her my copy of “Going Rogue” in which I had taped both The Slate and HuffPost indexes, and replaced the cover art with a funny art piece by Zina Saunders. I was glad to see Lisa had brought a nice camera that she handled confidently. She showed me a picture of Brian the Moose she had printed out.
We walked back to the store. It was 1:00, and hour before the signing was to be over, and there were perhaps 50 or 60 people left in line. Lisa and I got some pictures by the big blue bus, by the huge picture of Sarah with SarahPac – donate – support - and the SarahPac address on the side. Lisa tried to slip around the back, and get a shot of the license plate, but a motorcycle cop in shiny black boots warned her away. Sheesh. We walked back to the store front and stood in line. This was the “stand by” line of people. At about 1:45 we were told the store was out of books to be signed, and Palin would be leaving. The line dissolved, and we went as close as the police would let us to the bus. Some of her fans had made a big sign, and two more were waving an American flag and the yellow one with the snake on it. Both Lisa and I had our cameras out. I couldn’t see a thing, but Lisa said “Well, it looks like Todd came down off the roof – there he is!” It looked like Chuck and Sally Heath got on the bus as well.
I must say, after all the anticipation, her actual appearance was a bit of a let down. Once or twice, a few of her fans starting chanting Sar-rah, Sar-rah, but it was not echoed by the rest, and died down in a moment. It might have been the presence of the police, or a kind of wistful feeling that it would have made no difference to the woman on the second floor. She was there, signing books, as her contract stipulated. When there were no more books to be signed, she left. That was all.

Check from Palin in the mail? Hot off the presses from Salt Lake
Tribune.
“Sarah Palin not only annoyed leaders of the Utah Republican Party when she didn’t have time for them during her book signing stop in Salt Lake City last week. She also took off from her hotel after arranging for a last-minute hair appointment without paying the hairdresser and leaving her to cover her own valet parking”……..
I wonder how many places Palin has blown town without paying “real” American’s who are working hard to make her look good. Populist, my arse.
———
This is from a prior thread but since the incident is referenced again by Trisha, above, I thought I’d take the opportunity to address it here.
The alleged incident of leaving without paying goes to the heart of who Sarah Palin is. Although she claims to be just like us, the facts show otherwise. (No surprise there). But the part which really bothers me, aside from the arrogance of not paying a working stiff, is that no one in SLC suggested that what Palin did amounts to thievery. Just plain thievery. I know that some states label this type of behavior as “theft of honest services” but why no one bothers to slap Palin upside the head and remind her of her obligation to follow the law and not act like a lowlife is beyond my understanding.
If she cannot be bothered to pay in person, she should at least arrange to have someone from her massive entourage pay the stylist and valet. To do otherwise is a slap to the face of every American who puts in their 40 hours without the expectation of fame.

Some observations about the “Trigg” situation:
Clearly, we have a child, a real person, who is being carried around as a “Raggedy Andy” doll prop for whatever reason, twisted or not. We can only conjecture about motives and emotions, but we can measure and document actions and inaction. A considerable amount of data has been made available.
While not an acknowledged expert on the subject, i am reasonably well read on the subject of Down Syndrome children and their care. I do not see it represented in the Palin case.The question of intent must be satisfied to define what is really going on. Consider somewhere between gross negligence at the most benign to attempted murder at the most extreme. Is it a question of use, abuse, or elimination?
In any issue, it is best to “take out a clean sheet of paper, observe, gather evidence, and consider the observations objectively. It is the shortest route to the truth if it can be achieved.
The gravest concern is that this may not end well.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:32 PM
My manners were sorely lacking in not thanking LisanTX and MissSunshine in an earlier post – thank you, thank you, thank you! What a pleasure to read your guest post, albeit the subject matter is the usual barf bag fare of the last year. The cheer on your faces and the fun little pranks made this a great addition to my day, assuring me that sanity, good humor and intelligence reign! I bow to your greatness as mudpups.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:33 PM
Something is going to have to be outed by an organization for Down Syndrome development issues. SP has had so many opportunities to address the special needs of these children and has done nothing except talk about her personal reactions to the child.
This would be a good time to capitolize on the publicity.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:38 PM
Palin is stuck with Trig for her image, so no amount of abuse or negligence is going to save her. She’ll only toss him completely under the bus when her world comes crashing down around her ears – then no one will be safe from her anyway so there will be plenty of folks to catch and care for Trig in a meaningful way. And by then, being guilty of child neglect will be the least of her worries.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:43 PM
I’m very much afraid our candidate for Mother of the Year thinks that God sent him, so he will take care of him. In other words, “If he dies, he dies.”
December 15th, 2009 at 6:46 PM
LisanTX and MissSunshine…Thanks for the report. That bus is something else and nice detective work on the license plate! I still think they had 2 buses (sp?) and fed-exed that license plate all over the place.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:48 PM
Oh yeah….I’m with everyone else who is wondering who is paying for all that ridiculous security. Hope is is SarahPac and not the taxpayers.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:49 PM
I see a lady with a red hat & scarf. I see another in a hat & winter coat. I see others in winter coats. I see Todd’s hair blowing; must have been a little windy. I see somebody behind Trig with a winter coat. I see Trig with bare feet — no socks or shoes. Others had on winter hats. Trig had no hat. When will organizations who advocate for the needs of children intervene to provide all the Palin children, not just Trig, the care they deserve.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:52 PM
One of my (adult) kids is friends with a woman physician in a small Alaskan coastal town. I won’t say which town cause I don’t know how many female docs there are there and I don’t want her to be identified. This woman said she and her other physician friends believed that Sarah was trying for what they refer to as a “fundie abortion”, based on her high risk behavior by going to Texas at all when her pregnancy was so far advanced, and particularly on her failure to immediately get to a Texas hospital when her water broke, followed by the long trip back to Anchorage, and THEN, instead of going to an Anchorage hospital with facilities for high risk newborns, going to the one-horse hospital in Wasilla for Trig’s birth – a place with no pediatric specialists.
To spell it out, the doctor was referring to actions by women who because of their strict, fundamentalist religious views cannot request an abortion, so they engage in high risk and or high impact activities while pregnant in hopes of having a miscarriage.
I have been commenting throughout the campaign on (1) the Palins’ failure to provide Trig with the kind of daily skilled therapies which Down’s syndrome babies need in order to achieve their maximum capacities, and (2) exposing their underdressed baby to vast crowds of people (viruses, infections) and not protecting him from the weather; hauling him around late at night, etc . I didn’t know until reading the comments tonight that the Palins were putting him down to crawl on filthy airport floors – truly outrageous neglect!
What really offends me is that no disability rights group in general or Downs Syndrome support/parents group in particular has expressed public outrage at the well documented abuse and neglect of this at risk child by his parents.

: my knees are dirty
: mommy dearest, why do you put me on that dirty floor?
: my diaper is full
: mommy dearest, why do you leave me in a dirty diaper?
: my arms are cold
: mommy dearest, why do you not put my coat on me?
: my eyes can not see clearly
: mommy dearest, where are my glasses?
: my feet are near froze off
: mommy dearest, why do you not love me?
December 15th, 2009 at 7:23 PM
So it’s a cold day, but once again Trig has no socks and no shoes. And no jacket.
Poor guy.
Is it really that hard to stick on a pair of socks? Maybe they should just buy some little toddler slippers or something they could put on quickly.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:27 PM
I’m with everyone else here, where’s Trig’s shoes? His coat? His socks? Anything but his jumper? What are they trying to do? Give him a cold?
Shameful.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:30 PM
why is everyone bundled up yet trig has no shoes, socks, blanket, jacket or anything on his head??? it’s INCONCEIVABLE how daft the parents are…
December 15th, 2009 at 7:32 PM
Many thanks to boots on the ground LisanTX and MissSunshine. I think I’d have keyed the bus.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one wondering who is paying for all the security for that B…ch. And, I can’t believe that poor baby doesn’t even have on booties! One would think with all those cops around THEY would do something for him!
Sorry Mudpups, I must be rabid.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Wow, I’m really impressed that you two could get so close to the bus! In PA no one was allowed anywhere near it. Great write-ups. It pretty much followed up the pattern of the one here, and the only reason we got in was because of the camera and press pass. No interviews, no talking allowed.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:35 PM
seattlefan @58 –
Oh yeah….I’m with everyone else who is wondering who is paying for all that ridiculous security. Hope is is SarahPac and not the taxpayers.
~~~~~~~~~~~
As a taxpayer in one of the cities she graced with her presence, I most wholeheartedly agree with you. Unfortunately, I suspect the security costs will come out of my pocket, not hers.
Someone who seems to consider herself above paying for petty expenses like hairstylists, certainly would feel it her due to have plenty of taxpayer-funded police to protect her from those unwashed masses.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:42 PM
sauerkraut…I’m with you. They told her to send a bill. What are the odds that she will get paid? Probably NOT good. What if she needed that money for Christmas? Not only did she not get paid…no tip…and she had to pay valet parking!
I hope you posted that at the Trib site. Last I checked, comments were not in her favor.
I wonder how many times Palin stole from “real working Americans” on this trip?
December 15th, 2009 at 7:58 PM
@sauerkraut, I recall reading somewhere that the queen did not pay for her lattes in Wasilla, like she was privliged. What a sham she is, another article said something about p!per asking Bristol for money because she, “had to pay for mom’s coffe AGAIN!”. This really does not surprise me. I saw the link earlier today but didn’t have time to read it. Maybe now I will since I have the time.
She doesn’t do anything from the heart. She says she loves the troops, do you see her being an advocate? an example? Why doesn’t she get people together to send out the bare necessicities. Also, too, where is the special needs help that she promised while on campaign? Surely she can still do that but, instead all the does is charge for her fundraising. No compassion, it’s all the money for me, me, me, me. She has a cold soul.
LMAO, I was thinking about how the religous ones say something about “a wolf in sheeps clothing”, “the antichrist” and how he would fool the whole lot. You know, all the warning signs in the Bible. Well, the way I see it, that’s exactly what she is to her sheeple. They all swear up and down that she’s honest, has integrity, etc., etc., etc. They cannot see her for what she is because that is what they vibrate to. They are exactly like her, dishonest, you know the type, the ones that don’t discipline their children and call them angels, even though it is so evident that they aren’t. Anyways, thanks for letting me rant. She just razzles me sooooo much.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Did anyone else notice the letters on the bus – “Book Tour” in picture # 2 are the same as those found on the back of a dollar bill?
I saw the picture, said WTH!, got out a bill and compared them.
How appropriate for Ex-Gov. Grifter.
Sorry if someone else commented on this, but no time to read comments tonight!
Thanks for the Mudflats on the ground reports.
Going Rouge is wonderful, too. I bought 4 copies as gifts already!
December 15th, 2009 at 8:16 PM
I hate to see that police force standing by in that photo, wasting our tax dollars.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:24 PM
Sorry – it is photo # 3 – photo # 2 will not download.
Look at a dollar bill – one and the same font as the lettering on the bus – Book Tour.
Poor baby – Trig deserves better.
Every picture I see of Tripp has him wearing a hat. Bristol needs to give Sarah parenting lessons.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:30 PM
here_in_PA,
It is funny that you mention the “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. I visit a website of a younger guy who does editorial cartoons (he is just starting out) and he has one that fits what you are talking about perfectly. I posted it on my own blog because I feel it is such a perfect fit.
He has captured Sarah exactly in my opinion.
It is titled:
A Wolf in Jesus Skin

I would also like to thank Plano Palin, MissSunshine and LisanTX for being our boots on the ground.
Finally, I would like to ask MatSu Valley residents to gather pictures of that poor baby (in the cold, with bare feet/bare legs) and contact Child Protective Services. You might also include concern about his developmental progress (a DS child his age on no solid foods, wearing no glasses and no hearing aids).
CPS will not require you to provide your name.
I fear for this child. SP is one SICK person.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Trip barefoot again?
December 15th, 2009 at 9:01 PM
We had the pleasure of meeting Miss Sunshine and LisanTx at the first-ever DFW Mudstock the next day, and they are just as delightful in person!
And yes — it was cold and windy and sunny that day (Dec 8th). Since the weather can change rapidly here in North Texas*, I looked it up:
On Dec 7th, the high was 47 and the low was 39.
(*The high yesterday was 71. Today the high was 39. See what I mean?)

Don’t wait for somebody else to report suspected child abuse and neglect. A child needs help. When you know that, you have the responsibility to make a call and voice your specific concerns.

Good reminder about personal responsibility each of us has when we are faced with, have knowledge of neglect and/or abuse of a child or an adult. Noticed it was also posted at Bree’s site as well. Thank you.

@72 EyeOnYou, Thanks for the cartoon, had me laughing. That is exactly how I view her. Hehehheee, I’ve been seeing that picture for months in my head but, it wasn’t that good. The tail sticking out is just the best.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Sarah claims very pridefully that she has “common sense” so is it good common sense to parade a high-risk baby without proper attire in cold weather and let him crawl about on a public floor where he can pick-up something or get stepped on?
December 15th, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Oops, I meant posted at Palingates.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:31 PM
I kept socks on ALL five of my children as babies, ALL year ’round. This tip from one of my aunts prevented colic (and, truly, none of them were colicky).
You can imagine how the picture of little Trig with his toes turned out and fingers curled against the cold incenses me. They probably think he’s fussy, but he probably has an ear ache from the constant exposure to cold.
December 15th, 2009 at 10:08 PM
On Dec 7 between 1 and 2pm in Plano it was dropping from the low 40′ies to the high 30′ies with a wind. Scroll down the page for the graph for the whole day.
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KTXPLANO33&month=12&day=7&year=2009
That baby needed to be bundled up against the cold. This is just shameful.
December 15th, 2009 at 10:40 PM
I would also like to thank Plano Palin, MissSunshine and LisanTX for being our boots on the ground. You did good and gave us some laughs.
I can’t believe they take that baby out like that even a very healthy child would be dressed with at least socks,a hat and sweater or jacket.
I looked at the picture of Todd and I don’t get where palin says have you seen Todd,I have seen much much better looking and built men.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing”. is just what she is,the devil in disguise,remember that song or rather the words from a song about the devil in disguise.
December 15th, 2009 at 11:54 PM
LisanTX and MissSunshine – Many thanks for your bravery and humor. Great photos and reports. I’m so glad you had each other for the shared adventure. I knew there was SarahPAC lettering on the bus but had no idea the extent of solicitation…disturbing.
December 16th, 2009 at 2:05 AM
Somehow we survived the visit although it seemed the sun stood still in the sky so she could sign more tomes and radiate her wonderfullness. Figures she’d end up in Plano where the money is. Do the northern lights stop when she leaves the state? Could be her wonderfullness seeking god you know.
December 16th, 2009 at 3:26 AM
as someone else pointed out if they bundled trig up, it would be hard to see his disability and how cute he is, and he would not be as good a prop.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:19 AM
Thanks to all for the kind comments!
I’m so glad LisanTX was there to document Trig that day. Research by Punkinbugg and A Fan in CA have established that the temperature was in the mid to low 40’s (VERY changeable weather) and I can tell you there were chilly gusts of wind in spite of the relative sunshine. It certainly wouldn’t kill a healthy adult to go without a hat or coat, but the elderly and very young should have had on AT LEAST A HAT! I have no doubt his little toes were cold.
Plano, Texas is one of the wealthier suburbs of Dallas, with a population of about 238,000 people. The greater Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex has a population of over 6 million people. The turnout at Legacy Books, of only several hundred, not thousands, speaks to how slender her base really is.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:25 AM
it always does my heart good to know there are progressives in tx speaking up and acting out. great work ladies!
December 16th, 2009 at 7:32 AM
I taught at a community college in Plano, so I am very familiar with the place. It is about as conservative as anyplace in Texas and it seems to be the epicenter of upwardly mobile, socially conscious folks with the McMansions and expensive cars.
It’s been a decade since I lived there, but one of the weird trends in Plano was that people would max out on their mortgages buying homes that they really could not afford, to the point of not being able to furnish their ginormous palaces of conspicuosity. If they had parties or functions, they would rent furniture for a week, after which the furniture would go back on the truck and return to the warehouse until needed by the next McMoron. The rest of the time their big-ass-houses were as empty as Palin’s skull.
Palin is a perfect match for Plano. All shiny veneer, no substance, and a seemingly pathological need to impress everybody else with the your conspicuous consumption. After all, why would God shower her with so many riches, such fame, and such overwhelming beauty if Palin was not hand picked by God Hisownself?
You Palin haters are just jealous.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:03 AM
And it is only the beginning of winter.
Trig must be a hearty child. Red cheeked and chubby with all that milk, no solids.
Stiffing the hairdresser was probably par for the course. Only no one has had the guts to bring it up.
She has been stiffing people all along, how do you think she got to be called the Grifter Governor?
Now she is the grifter author on a book tour. Maybe it is time for people to speak up about the free bees she has racked up
. Quiznos anyone?
December 16th, 2009 at 8:18 AM
@74 EyeoOnYou, Thanks for the great cartoon. Wow…that is perfect. The comments are fantastic too.
Love this one…..
Wait, Sarah Palin can’t be a wolf. If she was, she’d have to shoot herself from a helicopter.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:31 AM
I wonder if the story of Palin’s SLC visit gets some play on bigger sites if more people will come forward with their stories about how Palin stiffed them.
Think about it, here is a columnist in conservative Utah who was willing to tell this woman’s story. I bet lots of others have had the same experience but their voices have not been heard.
As far as their treatment of Trig, no on in Alaska would take her on.
Unfortunately, the only thing that this attention will do is make her more aware of what she does in public. My guess is that Palin will read this she will work harder to pretend that he is getting such good care because she is such a good mom. She will just do what she always does…put on an act for the camera.
It won’t change the way she treats him in private and it won’t change the obvious distain she has for that child.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:40 AM
here_in_PA & trisha,
If you liked that one, you may enjoy this one as well (and it fits her most appropriately if I do say so myself).
Trig as a Prop
You can see all the ones he has done on Sarah by clicking on her name under the cartoon where it says “tags”, and just going to the bottom of each cartoon and clicking on “older entries” which will take you back over the ones he has done so far.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:52 AM
Sad, sad, sad…that poor baby. No socks or shoes? What the heck are they thinking? She has to know that everyone can see this. Todd standing in the cold wind with a baby nearly undressed, it is unconscionable!
Poor Sarah, she was no match for Tiger Woods, his scandal blew her off the front pages and all the news shows. I thought the bus tour must have been over because we hadn’t heard anything or seen “all the crowds” that were adoring her signing ceremonies.
If only she could have claimed to be one of Tiger’s many…she could have been back on the news. She is probably kicking herself for not knowing how to capitalize on that scandal. Oh wait, maybe she’ll tweet a big condemnation from her special gawd and climb on the band wagon yet.
Of course WE are paying for her security, she wouldn’t think of paying for something so expensive, or actually much at all.
December 16th, 2009 at 12:09 PM
If you would like to bring your dog and pony show to town security is required in my city as it is in most cities. And the promoter is required to pay for it. If you can not provide it the city will do it for you and bill you. I’d sure like to know, is Palin with her flying bus, required to pay the City of Plano for the security. I’d sure hate to think that Sarah would have anything to do with a socialist service.

Just curious if anyone knows if the tour bus went onto any army post or air force base. I read that at Bragg, the command was concerned that allowing on her not seem like a political endorsement. If they allowed the bus with its pleas for money for SarahPac, that seems like a problem!

I cannot believe at all the attacks on Sarah Palin. She is the most popular woman Republican ever. She almost made it to the White House (OK, the VP house), but now all she is trying to do is put food on the table, you think her husband can keep up with the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed.
And so what if she took two different planes back to Alaska from Dallas, Texas when she was in labor with Trig, instead of going to a local hospital (who wants to born in Texas, yikes). I mean so what if Alaska Airlines spokesman said that they were not aware that she was in labor.
She is not a quitter, she is reloading, so watch out she will be your President, like it or not. I mean come on we had “W”, right?
