I’m Gonna Scrub That Man Right Offa My Hat!
(Read this blog to the soundtrack of South Pacific’s “I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair”)
Reports of sightings by Mudflatters in Hawaii have been increasing. Some pictures of Sarah Palin and her family on the beach have surfaced, which you knew they would. But this picture in particular gave me a good laugh.
Apparently the left-over staffers from the Palin administration aren’t the only ones that love to redact unpleasant memories with the ol’ black Sharpie marker. Embarrassing nuggets have been blacked out of emails subject to records requests by Alaska citizens. But never before has the redaction itself been so ineffective and amusing.
Looks like she kept at least one bit of the campaign wardrobe!
Yup, that McCain visor got the royal treatment and the name got “redacted.” So why the inky snark? Hawaii underestimated the demand for visors during this busy holiday shopping time and ran out? Doesn’t want to lay out the $7.99 for a new one? Or is it like those old pictures with your ex, where you put a big red circle with a line through it around them, just for fun? I say, just get the ‘Palin 2012′ visors made and get it over with.
Rumors are swirling that the Palins will be back in Alaska for Christmas, and that the public book signing may take place on December 22 in Anchorage.
[More pics can be seen HERE. Points for anyone who can figure out what the t-shirt says!]
I see the baby doesn’t have on glasses or a visor. Billed to Sarah PAC no doubt?
inky snark is right, this is a smack down with a marker lol
God, this woman has no class. Couldn’t she just have bought a new visor…..and for that matter, also too, a nice t-shirt and shorts? That is what I typically wear going to bed. Minus the visor of course.
Here’s what I think….
The Palin’s wanted to be spotted by the paparazzi. It looks like they are on a very public beach. Just another show and tell by Palin. Notice the, I’m kissing my baby photo opps.
Believe me, I have been there many times, there are tons of resorts with private beaches where TMZ photographers would NOT be permitted to snap away at guests on the beach.
This is a total set up. She probably even called TMZ herself to report a Palin sighting.
But, scratching out McCain’s name on her hat is very telling. Tacky and telling. I bet she just is seething with anger when she thinks about him.
I want to hear more about this nugget.
Embarrassing nuggets have been blacked out of emails subject to records requests by Alaska citizens. But never before has the redaction itself been so ineffective and amusing.
It’s time to sue. Worked for “finding” all those lost Bush emails.
Tacky and too funny. I guess the only way she could get back at McCain was to black-list him…
Typical Sarah- blacking out McCains name, kinda like the prego cover-up??? Is that the First Dud-he sure is skinny! Better start working out with Levi… Is the girl laying on the beach chair the babysitter?
@trisha, I agree with you about the photos. They seemed very staged. As I was looking at them, I thought to myself, she knows she is being photographed.
This is a part of the link I posted on the open thread. You can vote on the following:
Sarah Palin …
1. Way to go rogue!
2. Get over it
where is her mother? who raised this hoodlum? no matter what, super-pee owes everything to mccain. that has to be the rudest damn thing. i don’t like mccain, but for crying out loud – she is the one that swooned over him last year.
ugh. and ACK. and phluck (noise made when getting the nasty taste off the tip of your tongue.)
Get over it @ 71% .
#3 Irishgirl, I wear a get-up like that to clean my bathroom. You know what they say, “you can take the girl out of the trailer park.” The marked out “mccain” on the visor, I swear she never matured beyond the 8th grade, calling her a “high school mean girl” is giving her way too much credit.
Who’s to say McCain didn’t request the visor redaction? xD
Ick.
All I can can figure out about that shirt is “don’t you (something) the hell out” which is just such a lovely thing to wear with your children.
I zoomed the photo up to 400% & still couldn’t read what it said on the t-shirt. Did, however, notice that there is still something growing on the side of her face. She should probably stay out of the sun while that’s going on. Tawd certainly is white.
Very interesting new post. No comments allowed! Hmmmm….hope there is some interesting info there.
Yes jc, it is is either bathroom or bed gear, not something that you would expect the former VP nominee to wear on a public beach. I would have gone for the linen look myself, crisp and white. Hell, she can afford to buy it and throw it away (or donate it) after one wear.
As someone said before….McCain made her a rich woman, yet she is so filled with anger.
What harm would there have been in leaving his name on the hat? Could it be that she didn’t want to give the impression that she would be supporting McCain in 2010!!!!!!
Maybe it’s a sign of things to come. That, and she is tacky tart.
I watched a program on the paparazzzi and they said that most of those “candid” beach shots of celebrities are not so “candid” because either the celebrity or their agent calls TMZ (or the like) to tell them where they can be found that day.
That’s why I’m sure this was a set up just like that fishing photo opportunity.
I think her handlers told her to take a photo opp vacation that showed “family time” since she was getting flack about Trig, Todd not being with her, and the kids. That’s why I’m not sure it’s something that we should even discuss.
They just try to use it to their advantage, and it’s not going to change the way she treats her kids.
She’s so cheap she won’t buy a new one?
I school out already in Alaska?
Why isn’t Piper in school?
McCain had no idea what kind of ugly vicious snake he unleashed when he chose this rabid woman for VP. He a$$ kicks himself daily for this horrid mistake! You betcha!
via thehollywoodgossip.com :
In addition to the odd political non-statement emblazoned on her dome, Palin’s t-shirt read “If you donâ��t love America, then why donâ��t you get the hell out.” Ta-Dah!
“If you don’t love America, then why don’t you get the hell out.”
So classy.
Palin is a ungrateful Beach. She would be a nobody in the lower 48 if not for mccain.
She knew they were going to be there because she called them herself. This is her “I’m so important I’m being stalked by paparazzi like a tiny starlet!” moment.
Also, too, she wore the hat on purpose. It’s a “rogue” moment, an FU to John McCain and staffers, and a thug hat tip to her cult.
Sadly, she looks pretty bad here. Not sure she planned this very well. Ha ha. Like that’s a surprise!
She needs a “knee lift”
Yeah the side of her face looks infected.
The t-shirt reads: “If you don’t love America” (on the front), then why don’t you get the hell out!” (on the back).
Irishgirl, yes I wanted to comment to the interesting new post. Hopefully envelope contains a photo to be used as “the nail in the coffin.”
I agree, what an ingrate. Mc Cain made a nobody into a millionaire, and she still disses him.
Not to be catty but those knees… When your entire life has been based on your looks, things get grim at 45!
Funny t-shirt for a secessionist to be wearing.
Someone on one of the other blogs (can’t remember which one), commented that they had never seen a picture or video of SP kissing Trigg. She reads these blogs daily, so of course there is a staged picture of her kissing Trigg today.
@ Lisa.. Yes, that’s what I got. Nice…
bad case of the “kneesels”
Lisa …good job. Also she blacks out a POW name on her visor like mccain is not worthy enough to be associated with if you don’t love America T-shirt then get the hell out , Sick B*TCH.
Turning the other cheek
Didn’t McCain, defending Palin (and himself) on a recent Sunday talk show, accidentally state that she was “irrelevant”?
I’m gonna take a shot at what’s on the t-shirt.
On the front above the flag: “If you don’t love America … ”
On the back: “why don’t you get the hell out?”
#33 justafarmer, yeah, I think you’re right about what’s on that old, over-sized, wrinkly & probably stinky t-shirt she’s wearing. It’s just about as classy as the “I might be broke, but I’m not flat busted” idiotic t-shirt from her “colleges” days. If I saw her in one that said “I’m with stupid” and the arrow pointing at tawd I wouldn’t be shocked. Definitely the type of person I want to be in charge of the free world.
Stay classy S’error!
Does Piper ever go to school? She must be getting the same education her mother received: now and then. What a disgrace.
It’s the new “wite out”! Bic is now making it in “McCain/Palin Country First” (my a$$) blue!
OMG…What a friggen hillbilly…
jc in col #12: Totally agree! COMPLETE trailer trash, from tacky clothes to sharpie scribbled visor. Haven’t we seen this pic on “people of walmart dot com” ( I live in trailer trash land…I KNOW)
teutonic13: Also thinking she should have looked at the really bad knees before alerting the media. Wow! Gross!
Maybe kiss to Tri**ybear is attempt to pass on whatever strange infection she has???
(Sorry for that snark. I formerly worked with DS kids years ago. Had any of “my moms” made the really bad decisions about how to care for their kids – no therapy, dressed inappropriately, no glasses, etc.- , I would have been mandated by law to report them to CPS. I did weekly home visits to assure that this was not the case and to assure that families did what was necessary to ensure DS kid was well taken care of. Like I said, I live in trailer trash land.)
I think Lisa #24 has it right about what is written on the t-shirt. That’s the same thing I think it says. What a hateful message. Reminds me of the 60s slogan…America love it or leave it.
But during my wanderings around the web, I did find several groups with this motto…one on facebook for immigrants, one to get athesists out of the country, MySpace has a blog by Phillip Briggs by this name and one called Lone Star Clan Forum and I’m sure who they want out. I suspect it’s anyone they don’t like.

I saw a picture that allegedly was the reason for the resignation. Have it as a matter of fact. Can’t share it here. This being a PG-13 site and all.
she rally acts like a new divorcee who has looked her best in the last 20 yeas an she wants everybody to look at her
she probably thought if she wore a flag and campaign hat she could charge it to sarah pac. nothing she does is accidental
It’s called “passive aggressive”.
Who me? No I didn’t mean anything by that. It’s just commonsense that the McCaine loser failure campaign is over and it’s, you may recall that, silly to be running around with that logo, but I didn’t want to go disrespectin’ the troops by wastin’ a perfectly good visor, so, Piper marker, also, too, and I’m glad Obama is following my example by not wearing a McCain loser visor as he would have read in my book.
The back of the shirt says “Kick Me” . The front says “Please watch my back”.
Hey, maybe we’ll get lucky and a rogue wave will pull her out to sea!
maybe they are going to drop piper off in idaho to finish her education after they leave hawaii and the creepy south pacific-ers
But aren’t the palins the ones who belonged to the party that wanted to leave america?
Completely OT, but Brian is going to the West End this weekend to see Les Miserables. Carnegie Hall wasn’t enough for him…he wants to see London!! How can I refuse him, he is a big guy and sitting on top of the television since August has only contributed to his wanderlust.
I have to thank Austintx for my Brian.
Hey Sarah, I really like your old lady knees. If I were you I’d wear sweat pants. Or longish capris.
Nice to see she has not lost the Blackberry. She’s probably waiting to see if Ahnold will be responding to “her” facebook thing. And checking out if anyone has spotted her in Hawaii yet!
#34: Add her ‘Valley Trash’ T-Shirt to that collection of tacky ones.
(((((((((((((((((((((((Irishgirl))))))))))))))))))))))))
Brian is NEVER OT. Please share the pics. Enjoy.
You would think that with all of the money thats shes raked-in in the last few weeks she could afford a nicer visor and some fasionable clothes to put on to go to the beach. Hahhahaa, s’um-beeech!!!
Perhaps Sarah’s worn knees are the direct result of her having worked her way through college.
Thanks austintx. I hope to get some nice pics.
My remark to her T shirt is you don’t like it YOU Leave and all the ones like you.
$arah’s lookin a tad pasty. Guess the tanning bed doesn’t fit on the bus.
I’d rather see SP in a frumpy t-shirt and shorts than in a bikini BLECH

tetonic13 @ 23:
I agree… that what’s stood out to me too… her legs are horrible…she needs a knee lift…there seems to be wrinkles on her legs. That explains the hose worn in the running shorts, but it also begs the question: Are these the legs of a “toned” runner? I think she dropped out of the 5K race on Thanksgiving because (in another lie) she’s no runner. She simply COULDN’t finish it!!
Somewhere in Arizona, John McCain is on his knees thanking God that he lost the election, and was therefore spared from having to work with this petty, grade-school, narcissistic nutjob.
Is there a temporary tomato embargo in Hawaii ??

Austintx said :”Sarah Palin …

there should be a third option:
3. Put a hat on Trig, you moron.
JC in Co said “Tawd certainly is white.”
That’s because he probably has to STFU and stay under a rock unless he is being paraded around as the ex-first dude of Alaska and Secessionist King.
Me thinks she’s flippin McCain off…Wonder what she has on him.wink wink
irishgirl: woowoo west end. hubby and i spend a great deal of time in london (about 3 wks per summer)- we’re theater teachers! (and some time in ireland, as well- spouse has relatives in Westport & Ballinna(sp?) and we have friends in Cork and in Belfast, NI). Enjoy Les Mis!
Last post was on topic b/c: ” Gonna wash that man right outa my hair” from musical South Pacific and Les Mis is musical and West End theater in London is UK theatre hub and AKM is a theater person! it is all a big circle!!
She has 45 year old knees. I can’t believe she was wearing that outfit in public. She looks dreadful. I thought she was the hottest gov from the coldest state.
Kudos to the poster who pointed out once again that Piper seems to never be in school.
Over on Politico she is claiming she was wearing the McCain visor to remain “incognito” and meant no disrespect to John McCain. Ummm……..I don’t think she understands the definition of “incognito.”
Wow…is that what that T-shirt says? Hardly seems fitting for a Christian.
If so, I’m sending a link to the Billy Graham organization so they can see who they are supporting. I’ve sent other notes and they replied, so someone is reading them. I would suggest that everyone send those to a multitude of Evangelical Christians as they would not approve of using H_ell in this context.
I also start by sending to my Evangelical family members.
If you zoom in on her right knee (that would be on the left in the pic) I mean really zoom- the creases look just like that picture of “The Face on Mars” !!!
Try it- it’s pretty funny.
teutonic13!!!
You are wicked. LOLOLOL
Sarah Palin has responded to the TMZ article.
She claims that she scratched off McCains name because she was “trying to be incognito”.
But Palin said in a statement to POLITICO that she was just trying to “be incognito” — to go unrecognized and shield her children and husband, Todd, from paparazzi.
The hotel where she was staying had to chase away five photographers, a friend said.
Palin said in the statement to POLITICO: “I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago. So much for trying to be incognito
Sarah responds to TMZ
redwood palinizer, you beat me to it.
What I’d like to know is where she is in Hawaii and did she have body-guards with her?
She certainly doesn’t look like she was mobbed by fans there, does she?
If we are lucky, Palin will now disappear for a few months to have a knee-lift.
She will read this and in her NPD way, she won’t be able to handle the truth about her sagging alien face knees.
I can’t believe how staged those photos are of Palin playing with her kids. She has never shown one ounce of affection toward those kids, and now suddenly, she’s showing some PDA to her little props.
How cutie-wootie of her.
Does she ever take a day off from trying to play the American public?
Ahhhh….so she admits that she knew she was getting photographed. Hense, the affection toward her children.
What a lame excuse. Why didn’t she just buy a new hat? Couldn’t afford it?
Isn’t against the law to walk off with coffee and hairdos without paying for it. I can see how you would be intimidated if the governor of a state said sorry no money and just walks off with the product. she didn’t even keep a running tab and pay for it all at once? and she is suppose to be for small business and working stiffs. what a fraud. I wonder if she does that in hawaii.
I just KNEW numbskullery would be one of the tags!!!
On an Entertainment Tonight type show, they said her T-shirt said something like “If you don’t like this country then get the HELL OUT!” Isn’t that nice beach wear for a family vacation?
And why can’t she wear a swimming suit? Does she have a major muffintop going on and she’s worried about landing on the cover of the National Enquirer
with the quote “Who’s fat stomach is that?” She’s normally so vain!
trisha,
Her fans are suggesting she did it because she is “frugal”, and not wasting money.
Do you think she is constantly checking the news and everything to see what her adoring fans are saying about her? Incognito, it really says “look at me, look at me”!
really, she told him, she ran alaska, til she quit that is.
maybe she hasn’t had her tummy tuck yet. Oh wait, she doesn’t need a tummy tuck, she has tight abs.
she wants to be incognito so she wears a shirt that says look at me, look at me?
I keep reading comments about SP not paying for coffee when she was governor. Has this been substantiated or is it just a rumor? I don’t remember hearing about that until recently, and all I’ve seen are anonymous comments about it.
Might FOX do a Palin Family Christmas? With Todd reading the story from the family Bible, Trig in a manger, Piper as Mary, and Miss Wasilla can rock a Christmas sweater.
If Sarah had wanted an incognito vacation in Hawaii, there are plenty of places that have private quarters for exactly that purpose– a walled off house or suite for families, private swimming pool and sunbathing, really private. And, with her millions, Sarah could afford it, along with suitable clothing, visors and sunglasses for the kids. Sorry, this looks like another please-notice-me-stunt, please! And, I find it hard to believe after all those gifts, black plastic bags filled with clothing and election stuff, that was the one and only visor that Sarah owns. Tr*g, put down that marker, Mommy wants to wear her visor, now!
@80 EyeOnYou,…..Ya’, she is so frugal that she stiffs the hairstylist!
Her fans are delusional. I just read one comment over at the Salt Lake Tribune by a fan who told the hairstylist to stop whining. I kid you not.
Palin whines non-stop and they don’t say anything. Now, they say that there is nothing wrong with the millionaire grifter NOT paying for services rendered.
Also too…..if she is so frugal…………how about taking the bus and not the private jet How about living in the same house instead of building a second home on the same lot?
She can’t buy a $7.99 visor but is O.K. with a $4,000 hr jet ride?

Funny you mention sarah and Christmas. Just recieved her card in the mail today.

austintx @ 41—please give us a hint, pretty please???
please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please?
Yeah, trisha @76. Once again, instead of just letting it go, she makes a knee-jerk reaction statement and invents some crazy story to ‘explain’ her actions which is less plausible than the truth.
If you want to be incognito, you wear neutral clothes (no messages or intriguing pictures), a whole hat, not just a visor, and sunglasses. She must have remembered the sunglasses part from her Spy School class in college.
Sarah, stop with the fibbing. If you wanted to be incognito, you would have bought a new visor or hat. Why would you even have packed that visor if you didn’t plan on its being seen? What you say and do makes no sense in what I call NormalLand.
I betcha dollars to donuts the redaction was done BEFORE they left for Hawaii (like, sometime soon after the campaign was over).
What’s ridiculous is that her explanation makes it seem like she had “no choice” but to black his name out, whereas we know in reality, she had every choice (which is why I think it was already done beforehand). She had the choice not to bring the visor on the trip. She had the choice to not wear the visor. She had the choice of purchasing whatever new headgear her little heart desired, and yet … she chose poorly.
She can’t even dress for Vay-Cay without causing an incident, and I’m supposed to think she’ll be able to meet with world leaders from vastly different cultures and dress appropriately and not offend anyone? She has no sense of good judgment and that’s a most important quality in a leader.
Her excuses sound just like the ones my young college students give me when they know they have screwed up.
Lie 7,987,587,043:
Sarah Palin “Oh my, I was just trying to be incognito!”
That woman couldn’t speak the truth if it hit her in the face – she is programmed and driven to lie about every single little thing. She was pretending to want to be incognito, and panicked a bit about the backlash of the stupid hat trick since she doesn’t want Cindy McCain dissing her. That’s one person she will not talk back to, maybe one of the very few. She knows that Cindy has lots of experience and countless connections to make a big dent in Sarah if so desired.
Liar, liar, shorts on fire! Wonder how much white makeup she has on those poor charred legs?
LisanTx -
You on forum ?? I have not been there in a while……..might take awhile to navigate. That or I could e-mail ya.
austintx How about posting that picture in Flickr and giving us a link?
The more I read about this woman the more I feel she is the biggest fraud presented to this nation in 50 years. There are plenty of beaches in Hawaii where a family could slip off to and have privacy. Go these every year and you can find a private beach very easily.
On the other hand, if I had been locked up with Chuck for a couple of weeks, I would probably want a vacation, too.
IMHO the blacking out of McCain’s name on the hat is the horsehead in the bed – the Godfather kissing the marked man on the cheek – Sarah’s way of telling mcCain “You’re done. We’re done. I win”
We can’t know what private convos occurred between McCain and Palin on the campaign trail. (All we get are the pretty soundbites.) So i’m going out on a limb here and suggesting that this hat trick on the beach is her way of settling a private arguement – signalling the man he’s finished – the Republican Party belongs to her now.
After all, if neither Todd nor Trig needed to wear a hat why did she?

Austin…You know my email…please share!
I know I am one of the top anti-Palinites. I don’t even bring the her name up anymore amongst friends and family, ’cause they think I’m unhealthily fixated (and I am).
BUT…I get uncomfortable when detractors on these blogs speculate and disseminate on every minute detail of her life and activities.
As far as her Hawaiian garb I think she was damned if she did, or didn’t. She’d be blasted for wearing true beach-wear (bathing suit) and now is blasted for wearing these weird and unattractive “fatigues”.
As far as the visor…it’s impossible to prove whether an accident or not. I hate to compare myself to Palin on ANY level, but I can imagine doing the same thing…, Not wanting to take the time to purchase a new visor and just inking out the (no longer relevant) name of an older visor. Mind, I also ink out designer names on any pre-owned designer togs I may own. Possibly the photo contrast was maximized on the visor and in “real-life” it was less noticeable.
I also am irked by comments about her “old” knees and any other physical disparagement. There are enough very real and alarming reasons to hound the phoenomen that is Pain, and I hate to see those reasons marginalized because of petty observations and speculations.
I wanna see Palin taken DOWN, wiped out…so, I do not want to see her able to add to her list of “persecutions” by frivolous criticism. I hope criticism of her remains more on-target and relevant. (of course if anyone could read the text on her t-shirt, that would be fair game)
I don’t get McCain. Sarah shows disrespect to him again and again and he praises her. It’s like she’s slapping him in the face and he says, “Can I have another Sir!!” It’s typical of her to slam people and then say something nice. That’s the “moral cowardice” that Christopher Hitchens wrote about recently.
Miss Sarah ~ I’ve told you time and time again: If you keep up with the knee-jerk reactions to every . single . thing, you’re going to end up with knees so saggy and wrinkled, they’ll look like Ewok faces.
Too bad you didn’t heed me; your right knee, in particular, has become exactly what I told you it would…a wee little Ewok face. See, I wasn’t wrong about what would happen, was I; I spoke the truth to you.
Have you learned your lesson yet? Have you learned that it is good to listen to people who are not in your brown-nosing-yes-ma’am circle of syncophants and hangers-on? I do hope so!
You gotta admit, with what happened to your knees and all, I haven’t steered you wrong. Ever. Right?
So, how’s about if you listen to me one more time? I won’t steer you wrong with this one, either. I promise.
Please pay close and particular heed to what I’m about to tell you, it’s not complicated, but is is very, very, VERY important…and it’s for your own good, too, you know. Really, it is. Ready?
OK ~ here’s the skinny, here’s what we need for you to do: STFU AND GO AWAY! beth.
I think it is disgraceful that she and the “yes, Sarah” man had those children out in the Hawaiian sun without a hat or sunglasses esp since it’s been proven that skin cancer later in life can be caused by overexposure to the sun as a child. Bet she didn’t even put sunscreen on them.
You can’t take those lily, white AK bodies to Hawaii without some type of protection.
@kareninOR – but then you’d have to ask yourself – why, with all the travelling she’s done between the McCain campaign last year and now, and all the hats she’s worn inbetween, why did she even *have* that particular visor with her?
How could it possibly, within the walls of reason, have been the *only* hat-on-hand to take on her family vacation in the first place? Has it been sitting by the front door for a year and she just grabbed it on her way out? Was it stuffed in the bottom of her bag all this time?
And again, with all her newfound wealth, could she not have simply asked room service to bring her a new one from the gift shop?
The McCain campaign, regardless of it’s outcome, seriously launched her career. Without McCain’s help she could not possibly be where she is today, much less sitting on a beach as a millionaress. Wouldn’t this visor have too much sentimental value to just blithely attack it with a black marker?
At the very least, for me, it just goes to the root of her inability to show respect for anything that isn’t ‘all-Sarah-all-the-time’.
KareninOr~
Point well taken…and aside from palin’s MANY fraudulent actions (that continue to this date), the “cover-up” is the bigger story here. Think about just how many people have personal knowledge of her misdoings; yet they shroud her darkest secrets in silence. This would include the McCain camp, which diligently went to work trying to scrub all the messy little details from the innertubes back in Fall of ’08.
kareninor, I really don’t get it regarding blacking out McCain’s name on her visor. Why do it? To be “incognito” as she claims? She would have been no more or less noticeable had she left the name alone. There are some people where I live who still have McCain stickers on their cars – teabaggers, yes, but there are some around. No big deal.
Was Sarah trying to be disrespectful? I guess I don’t really know on this one. She has spewed so much crap about others, this time it’s hazy. However, her ego is way out of control – that much is clear and I think McCain threw his own workers under the bus when he told them to stay off TV when Sarah told lies about them in her ghost-written book. They have the right to defend themselves when lied about.
I personally think, those “IMPOTENT OLD GEEZERS” who pack around little blue pills (seriously I wouldn’t know) just want to bend her over that desk in the oval office. That is exactly what they aspire to…..hell….can we put forth 8 yr. term limits on each congressman/woman in our Senate? Please…pretty please with a vision of someone else bending over a……

Dang Girl !! You Go !!
LisanTx…. I do hope you’ll email whatever austintx sends you to all your DFW buddies!
also, i may just not be plugged in, but it seems to me that if one is replying toTMZ, that’s a good sign one has moved out of “serious” circles and joined the ranks of the celebrity crowd, somewhere north or south of paris hilton. palin should just go ahead and move to LA.
Karen in Oregon, I agree with most of what you say. There are so many ways to criticize SP that we can ignore her knees. The visor is at least worth mentioning. Whatever her motive it is weird. Her clothes-maybe what the shirt says, but if she were dressed up, we’d be commenting how elitist she is.
I do have an issue with Trigg out in the sun. He may have sun block on…maybe Mom can lend him her visor?
Also, did anyone else notice the look on Piper’s face in the first picture? It looks like she is gazing longingly at her dad. I’ve seen that look on her before…
Well , let’s not forget the one pic. of sarah staring at her Blackberry on the beach and seemingly ignoring the little one. She is eatin’ this s^*t up. Ain’t ya sarah ?!?!
Well what I can tell is Sister Sarah has a master google search set up on her blackberry so she can see everything written about her. She responded to TMZ for heaven’s sake! What a freak!
Sorry, I am not buying her lame story about blackening out McCains name on her visor so she could be “incognito”. There are local ABC stores on practically every corner in Hawaii, selling inexpensive things geared towards tourists. They stock many non-descriptive visors from cheap to slightly less cheap. She certainly could have sent Todd in to buy one for her if she was afraid of the papparazzi. Personally I think it was a very calculated stabb at attention. At the very least it showed a total lack of awarness of her actions. I’m not in the public eye but I do understand that what I choose to wear sends a non-verbal message to other people. Does Sarah not understand this? If she is this cluless, what sort of gaffes could we expect if she is ever in the White House?
T-shirt has the notorious pic of nixon with the hands in V’s raised high. In quotations underneath, it says “I am not a QUITTER!”
Oh, and by the way…….I’m sure she has read AKM’s mysterious post about the mysterious envelope received and is FREAKING OUT.
Seagull -
Tain’t the first time we have been on the same wavelength. LMAO.
Liar liar, shorts on fire!
Idiot woman – incognito my you know what! With a t-shirt like that, branding you as a whack job rightie right off the bat? With the same glasses, shorts and getup you wore at the pool the last time the paparazzi took pics of you? With Todd and both kids completely recognizable, to the point of leaving off a hat or sunglasses for Trig? Idiot liar. We know your fans are stupid, but we outnumber them and we know you.
normally, i wouldn’t care one diddly about another woman’s knees — but this particular woman chose to pose for a running magazine in short shorts and hose (MO) …….and those hose knees and these vaycay knees do not look the same. so i say – game on – look for jesus or ewoks in the knee wrinkles.
and PUT A HAT ON TRIG.
rant over.
Austin – and I laugh my arse off at your links!
Here’s Sarah on tour – reaching for her broom strapped on the front of the bus. Dec 5.
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrity_gallery/image_full/223204/
Here’s Sarah on vacation 11 days later – looking for attention.
I actually picked on of the more flattering photos – not that I’m concerned with her looks, but obviously she won’t like them because she is.
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrity_gallery/image_full/226427/
She seems to be trying to say she is “one of the people.” The weird t-shirt and recycled visor are her way of saying that althought the family is in Hawaii, they are just “down to earth” folks. Every bit of this seems to be something concocted in her “PR” mind. I, frankly, am surprised that Todd isn’t more muscular. We have been led to believe that snowmachining is a grueling sport. I would expect it would require year-round training.
Poor Piper. She used to be the one front and center. She has been replaced by Trig. And she doesn’t get to be with kids her own age or go to school.
How often have we been witness to such a dysfunctional family? Why does SP want to parade this stuff?
Hey, since $arah, throughout her ghostwritten book, comments on the appearance of every woman she likes (she’s pretty, that one’s gorgeous, etc.) and since $arah has capitalized on her looks to get ahead in politics, all comments about her knees are FAIR GAME. She’s starting to age and soon her “beauty” will have faded, although I doubt she will ever be as ugly on the outside as she is on the inside.
@Martha 124
Note the shirt Todd’s wearing — that’s the one she borrowed for celebrity beach wear
On the significance of the visor again. I guess I relate to a possible wardrobe oversight because if I share ANYTHING with SP it may be a certain FLAKINESS (I admit it), and I usually forget to include what I most need when taking trips. I totally NEED visors in the sun, and would go with anything, even a folded newspaper for shielding my eyes from sun! As an addicted thrift shop buyer, I also have visors whose logos I have disguised (sometimes even inked-out) . I seriously doubt if that applies to Palin, but like I said…benefit of the doubt.
I do have major objections to anti-Palin patriots (that’s ME) criticizing her on physical attributes. I see the possible plastic surgery as relevant because it is another piece of evidence that she is using her physical beauty to seduce and keep loyalty to whatever it is she is promoting (Sarah).
But detractors cannot have it both ways. One cannot deride her for resorting to surgery to keep up the beautiful and youthful image, and then point out every small flaw still evident. My gosh, when ANYONE bends their head sharply downward, show me a photo of someone who does NOT appear to have multi-chins! With or without surgery she is beautiful…and dangerous. Knowing the malevolence beneath the beauty makes her attraction less so to those of us not blinded by the marketing, but the attributes are still there and we cheapen REAL issues by fixating on her features.
On the other hand, it is of note to see the toddler without a hat and the eyewitness account of him sitting shoe and sockless on the airport floor as reported by the first witness who was also enroute to Hawaii, is given more credence now that it is in the “lame-stream media” (if that’s what the National Enquirer is!) and we see evidence that she really IS in Hawaii!
The T-Shirt is an FU message to Tawd
They hate each other now and are only being photographed together because its BUSINESS as usual
You mention never seeing her kiss Trig, I have NEVER seen true affection between Ester and Tawd in the three years os so I have known of their existence
In fact, their auras flash and clash like Sonny and Cher’s used to do
she’s got some really loose skin on her legs for a supposed runner, and her knees really sag. I also can’t help but notice, from those tabloid photos in Hawaii, that her & todd don’t look like they enjoy each other’s company as they are way too involved with their phones, talking and texting, ignoring baby…some vacation…and for pete’s sake, you’re in Hawaii, so wear a bathing suit and take off those ‘making a statement’ stupid t-shirts…coming from AK, the weather in Hawaii should feel sweltering to ya! …or are you afraid to tan for fear of not looking like a anglo.
@KareninOr: Please take a look at the Celebrity-Gossip photos linked to above. In those, you’ll see that Palin has other headgear with her, specifically, a pink baseball cap (good for those “incognito” moments, too). That cap says Petro Star Inc / Valdez Alaska, btw.
Oh, and Todd Palin’s wearing the “If you don’t love America . . . . get the hell out” T shirt in those photos (although on his the lettering looks much more crisp. Do they–gasp!–have his ‘n her t shirts?)
Palin’s McCain visor (It was a McCain visor, not a McCain-Palin visor) and the “get the hell out” t shirt are calculated, and they are political speech. As such, they are–and should be, IMO–fair game for critique.
The T-shirt says: “something, something, something…..love America”
Sorry, that’s all I could make out.
Any one recognize the book she (or someone) is reading? [It's sitting behind the bottles on the foot rest in T's stroller.] beth.
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrity_gallery/image_full/226422/
Here’s the t-shirt, Killa:
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrity_gallery/image_full/226425/
The back says “get the hell out”
Question to all: Does Todd Palin (AIP member–OK, former AIP member) love America?
We know that all of this celebrity stuff is going to burn this woman out. She quits everything. What is she going to say to all her fans who expect her to run in 2012? I serously doubt that Todd wants to be first dude in the WH, and have to prolong the fake marriage. While she still has pizazz going for her, she should latch on to a television gig, because even her high cost speaker gig is going to get old quick.
Oh Sarah, on vacation are you reading bloggers and commentors? Must be irritating to have so much to read on a tiny little Blackberry screen. You were, you can’t resist. We understand.
You changed hats, made Todd give you his shirt and wear yours – are you on the phone with Politico when this photo was taken (see above post #124). Or, were you arranging for someone to FedEx a check to the hairdresser in SLC. Remember, the mute one, the one you stole services from. You know, she could press charges? Yikes.
Did you know AKM got some special mail today? Maybe its from your Secret Santa.
Sarah, just remember when you run on the beach tomorrow you are a middle aged woman. Start slow, no need to stretch as that is so old school. Wear good shoes. Maybe you should discuss a new running program with your doctor, that is always good to do before embarking on any new exercise program. You know how to reach Dr. CBJ right, if not just ask Todd; he can reach her even now, late at night.
Trig will look very cute in his sunhat and sun shirt, but he probably will not like sunglasses. Maybe you could just use your black sharpie and color in his corrective lenses. He is somewhat familar with those glasses. That baby sun lotion, SPF 50, should be prominently placed on the beach towel, for those pesky photographers. Maybe you could show Trig how to spoon sand and pour water into a bucket. Kind of like motor skills therapy. Hey, I know. Get a beach ball and see if you can manage a little playful time with him. When you are playing, look at him, put the damn Blackberry down. Laugh with him and not at him, remember now, no name calling.
Also, too, Piper could be doing some schoolwork while sitting under a beach umbrella. Maybe you can help her with her spelling words. Some flashcards would photograph well. We could then assure ourselves that she is working at grade level.
Hope that you are enjoying the beach. Heard there were some minorities there, but I am sure they won’t talk to you cause word on that is out. See, that is why we write to you. You will hear from us again, we have many other suggestions.
Beth, the book is “It’s Not About Me: Rescue From the Life We Thought Would Make Us Happy” by Max Lucado, the same evangelical preacher whose words graced Palin’s Facebook Hannukah message.
(AKM would file this under “You can’t make this stuff up.”)

For someone who wants to be incognito, Sarah has managed to be photographed by TMZ and now by Celebrity Photo (Thanks Martha UnAlaska). And, Sarah has managed to change from one t-shirt/shorts combo to another, and it’s a pink hat instead of the blue visor.
So, she wants to be noticed, and the blue visor was hardly an accident. Todd has the matching flag shirt, and given the watchful moderator here, I can’t even use the language on the back of the shirt. The message implies that if you don’t like it here- flag waving- then, you can get the h*ll out of here.
Craig Ferguson, the late night comedian, regularly uses a joke, said with great sarcasm, for example, if you don’t like Mom & Apple Pie, then you can go back to Al Qa*da. When Craig says it and the audience laughs, you know that it’s a joke.
I don’t see anything funny about the Palin’s Patriotic T-shirts. What they do say is that you cannot question anything that our government does, a thought that was common during the Bush era. Any criticism was considered treason.
So, when we discuss Sarah’s constant concern with her appearance, her need for attention, then I consider it appropriate to discuss what she chose to wear when she intended to be photographed in Hawaii. The Army T-shirt is just meant to be patriotic; the flag-waving T-shirt allows for no debate or discussion. We have had eight years of “my way or the highway,” and it wasn’t civil. Wait a minute– were those matching t-shirts gifts that Sarah received while she was still governor????? Are they from Arctic Cat?
mae lewis @138 above. I don’t think they had matching shirts. I think she switched with Todd. And the hat looks small on her head. I suspect it was Piper’s hat and she confiscated it. Once she was aware of the criticism, she swapped out the offending articles with what her group had with them on the beach. Just a different perspective.
Folks, while snark is fun, don’t forget to read the Thom Hartman post right before this. Lot’s of good comments about the health care fiasco. It has less than 50 posts.
Arrgghh! My post 124 should have read
Here’s Sarah on vacation 11 days later – looking for attention “while pretending to be incognito.”
Damm, it’s all my keyboard’s fault. And everyone else’s.
Liz I. @ 137 ~ thanks for the title…and the link. I read the first few pages of the book [and the table of contents] on the site.
I now feel quite nauseated ~ sickly-sweet, mixed-metaphor, forced-comparison, out-of-historical-context, mumbo-jumbo tends to do that to me. I also tend to get rather nauseated reading adult-targeted books containing sentences averaging a whopping 6 words.
I realize that such ‘writing’ is all Some People can handle (and/or understand), though. [winky-wink.] beth.
Sarah can no longer be her normal self. She has created an iconic image of herself based on her looks and she’s stuck with maintaining it. She’s going to be keeping plastic surgeons in business for quite some time since that’s the only easy way to maintain her contrived beauty (look at all the makeup she now has to wear in public – everywhere, all the time). I know that this is much more common in the Hollywood crowd, but for an Alaskan – icky poo. She’ll always stand out as plastic when she’s home, even if her whack job fans and the press think she really looks like Sarah with all the makeup and clothes when she’s down south.
This in not easy to maintain in Alaska. In Juneau, the made up people scream “tourist”. The Legislators dress nicely in the winter for session, but they are still very casual in an Alaskan sort of way. Sarah is way beyond that now – I never thought she’d move from the state but to maintain that look she desires, well she may have to! If she does, she’ll take the whole fam damily with her, sisters & parents all. She cannot survive on her own.
In thinking this through with total disgust for what she will have to put herself through, I find myself much happier with just being me! Thanks twit – due to your upcoming he11, I find acceptance and dignity the better option for me!
Priceless!!!
Hawaiian vacation: $5,000
New hat: $7.99
Getting photographed on the beach by TMZ in a “loving” family moment, meanwhile backslamming McCain:
PRICELESS.
#138 @mxm
Excellent advice. Sound of S’error’s head exploding in 3. 2. 1.
Regarding Palin’s statement (I love McCain) and her actions (blacking out his name), always remember this….
It’s what people DO rather than what they SAY that lets you know who they are.
Is Palin going to surprise everyone and pop another baby out from under that T-shirt? She probably figures that it’s about time for a fresh prop. You know how bored people get……..
KareninOR,
I completely agree with you about the catty comments. It fuels the wrong fire. Sarah is a liar, a narcissist, and not fit for public office, but picking on her knees, her cellulite or playing with her kids merely gives the impression that “that’s all we got.” My aversion to Sarah Palin is rooted on far firmer ground than “old knees.”
I don’t believe for one minute her excuse that this was an attempt to “go incognito”. It’s another attempt to get people talking and speculating about her. It’s a insult to McCain, plain as day. Oh, she’ll sputter and spew regrets; it’s her MO, after all. Backhand, then play innocent.
When she forbids anyone to take photos of her on her diva tour and has police and store employees enforcing that royal decree, then I think it’s beyond hilarious and, yes, worthy of comment when some unglamorous shots are captured and posted on the Internet.
This is the real Sarah, not the primped, bewigged, airbrushed image that she tries to project. That’s okay–she’s a 45 year old grandmother with political aspirations, baggy knees, and cellulite; she’s not a pinup girl or “dainty starlet”. The only ones confused about that reality are Sarah and her devotees.
Sarah Palin is a scandalous, conniving, backstabbing, ungrateful, petty, tawdry, loathsome, bottom feeding ass nugget that wouldn’t know the meaning of five and a half years if it slapped her in the face with a red hot poker.
Innocent and simple! Or was that not what you were looking for?

If Todd Palin hates America so much that he joined a secessionist group hell-bent on removing Alaska from the US of A, then why the hell is he still in out country??
Todd Palin, if you hate America, get the hell out !!

YES!!!!! these folks are secessionists. they are guilty of treason by their own words and actions. they are both AIP supporters whether they now deny their involvement or not. they are guilty of fraud through the Alaska fund they have which continues to rake in money although she is no longer in need of defense funds due to the fact that she is a multimillionaire and can pay her own attorney.

All that $$ she’s made and she can’t afford to spring for a “McCain” free visor?
And hey also too, I thought the “minority thing” in Hawaii made her uncomfortable?
I choked when I saw that news story today. Incognito! Another grab of 15 minutes of fame that just goes on and on.
Scarah Says:
Palin said in the statement to POLITICO: “I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection.”
…hmmmm…
That means she will be stumping for the other person in the election campaign.
Just when I think she can’t possibly embarrass Alaskans further, $arah stoops even lower and does it again. I had been attributing her crassness and dumbness to a uneducated, sheltered, hillbilly life in her small world but now I realize there is more to it… as in STUPIDITY, ANGER, IMMATURITY and MENTAL ILLNESS.
The gale-force winds blowing throught the empty recesses between her ears is deafening.
Hot Toddy must be equally impaired not to be aware of this behavior…or he’s in it for the free ride.
