Visorgate.
Hugely busy day here at Mudflats Central. I’ll have some “real” news in a little while, but in the meantime, here’s Sarah Palin’s reaction to “Visorgate.” You’ll remember from yesterday, that Sarah Palin showed up on a beach in Hawaii wearing a blue visor with “John McCain for President” stitched on it. She blacked it out only semi-successfully with a black Sharpie. Was she dissing her former running mate? Noooooo, according to the Palin camp.
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reports that someone close to Sarah Palin says she loves John McCain and had no idea that an attempt to preserve her — and her kids’ — privacy while on vacation in Hawaii would lead to an incorrect conclusion by TMZ. Palin told her friend that she blacked out McCain’s name with a magic marker on a leftover campaign sun visor in the hopes that the paparazzi would not recognize her — so she could be left alone. TMZ interpreted the “blackout” as meaning Palin had had a falling out with McCain. That was an incorrect interpretation, the friend says. Says Palin, according to her pal, “I love John McCain. So much for incognito.”
So, yes. If you’re on the beach in Hawaii and you see some woman hanging around with Todd Palin, and Piper and Trig in a t-shirt that says “If you don’t love America then why don’t you get the hell out?” wearing sunglasses and a visor, and looking a lot like Sarah Palin, don’t just assume you know who it might be. You must first verify that she is wearing a readable McCain campaign accessory, because otherwise how would you know?
*Fame Pictures
(Two photographers lurking behind a potted palm)
Who IS that?
You mean over there with Todd Palin and Piper and Trig?
Yeah, that mystery woman in the sunglasses…
Do you think that’s Sarah?
(squinting) Not sure… Let me get my other lens.
Yeah…I think it might be. She’s supposed to be in Hawaii with her family.
But we have to be sure!
Does it say anything on her visor?
I can’t make it out… Looks like she’s scribbled something out.
Dang. If we could only verify. I HATE when celebrities go incognito.
he he heh heh heh he he he…….”Visorgate”.
“Whatanidiotgate” also, additionally. Too.
Can’t wait for the REAL NEWS, AKM!!!! ( Sneaky little post there yesterday!)
It’s a cute picture of them. The baby looks so adorable!! I get the point…hey, lady buy a new visor! How will it set you back? About $6? Who is lounging in chaise behind them? Glad I have been gone so long…but needed to peek in for a fix! Happy Holidays Muddies!
If any of my high students had offered an excuse that lame, He/she would have been laughed out of the English department, by all 22 of us. Sheesh.
This was deliberate. The very next set of photos show her wearing a pink hat that said “Petrostar, Valdez, Alaska.” She traveled with BOTH the visor and the hat. She could have chosen to wear the pink hat without “McCain” being scribbled out. She is so calculating…she was making a statement. And now…..sigh…..she is the “victim” once again. Poor, poor $arah.
On another note, remember just 4 days ago at the book signing in Anchorage? the one where she stated she had had a threat? So over 75 armed military had to protect her? If she is so concerned for her life why didn’t she go to a private villa? She can well afford it. She WANTED to be photographed. She craves attention. This will go on for a long time until her little world crumbles in one week…..just like Tiger Woods. She holds too many huge secrets to go on forever.
Would you even hang out in public with someone who would wear a visor with a blacked out name on it? She must be paying Toad a lot of money.
Just when you think Sarah can’t possibly get any dumber… she does.
She is a fashion magnet..that’s for sure! Maybe, if we are lucky, the “hotness” of Palin will now fade away! This is a classic example of a compulsive liar and making up stuff. Hey, it was good for a laugh!
Well after this expose and all the criticism of her hubris and attempt at another lame cover up lie – she’s going to finally get her act together! Nah, she doesn’t care about any of that – she only cares that the world was ripping on her for being such a fake in troweled on makeup for public appearances and compression stockings for her (probably illegal for monetary gain while Gov) “Fit and Fitness” spread, while the real Sarah looks pretty much like the rest of us.
This is not going to be any easy rogue to hoe for Palin – she’s a narcissistic empty vessel who will now wear troweled on makeup to the beach to preserve her image.
Hey, Sarah – I didn’t rip on you for being your real physical self – there’s plenty to rip on for the ugliness of your soul and the mean spirit you so proudly flaunt. Why don’t you find a personal trainer for your mind and spirit, and take a few reading, history and civics classes instead of all the fake body work? Oh, that’s right. Your fans wouldn’t like you anymore. You are stuck, Buttercup! Be careful what you wish for.
Sarah is lying. She did this on purpose. Was it a diss to McCain? Was it just a ploy to get in the news again? Probably both. There is no way she sat there with a flipping sharpie, scratching out McCain on a visor without an ulterior narcissistic motive.
Yes, who is that other woman lying with the Palin family? A nanny or baby sitter? I don’t think Sarah Palin is taking care of her kids without any help at all.
Visorgate …. hahahahahahahahahaha!
Now let’s see .. how can I make sure the paparazzi (that were alerted to me being here) does NOT (not) take a picture of me – oh yeah, I will wear a defaced McCain visor and a shirt with the American Flag that says if you don’t love America, get the HELL out. That’ll do it.
“yaawn”
ahh how nice,now we’ve moved into the realm of the tabloid,what does this unhealthy fixation on all things palin,have anything to do with current events..ughm…anywhere in the galaxy?!
You’d think with that 5Million Dollars she was just given, she could afford to buy a new freakin visor.
What the hell is wrong with this….this….woman? (oh, how I hate to call her a woman.)
Visor are pretty inexpensive. She could have got one at a local gas station for about $6 bucks.
I’ll bet she called TMZ as an anonymous caller to rat out her location.
She was so upset that McCain staffers cussed in front of her kids during the campaign, yet she and Todd willingly wear a shirt with a cuss word on it? Hypocrisy one more time.
O/T…….but too funny not to share. Received an email from Credo.com. Go to this link and fill in the blanks of nouns, adjectives, and occupations, and it will generate a Holiday Letter From Sarah Palin – hilarious!
http://www.palinletter.com/?rc=phl_e1
This is cute………
I have to say though, that seeing Trigg once again denied his eyeglasses and hearing aides is outrageous.
Where is HIS visor or hat, in all of the pics on TMZ Trigg is without ALL of these things.
One of the biggest frustrations of growing old is loss of vision and hearing……..so……..can you IMAGINE what this poor kid is going through?
Can you imagine what the future holds for him?
Nothing but a ………confused ………. silent……… blur.
didnt she complain about swearing in front of the kids? She she wears a shirt with “get the hell out” to the friggin beach? Each day a new kind of crazeeee is displayed!
How likely is it that McCain campaign visors were such a rare item that Sarah would be the only woman wearing one? Surely even in the President’s home state, there must have been some McCain supporters. (If not, that certainly helps explain why he lost.) Conversely, is it often that women other than Sarah go on vacation with Todd, Piper, and Trig?
Her inability to think logically never ceases to amaze me, and I am ever so grateful she is not in the White House. We’re in enough trouble as it is, without adding her lack of rationality to the mix.
I agree with BooBooBear that with her new-found wealth she could easily have afforded a more private vacation if she had really wanted to stay out of the limelight, and she certainly could have afforded a new visor. However, how would that play to the base that is shopping at WalMart and mistakenly thinking she’s just like them? She may be poorly educated and irrational, but she’s dangerously savvy when it comes to understanding how to lead that group around by the nose.
You know for sure when you’ve become tabloid fodder when interviews come from information gotten from a “pal”!!! LOL.. I was just WAITING for the word “pal” to come up and it did!
And don’t anyone try and tell me she didn’t invite TMZ to take some “candid” photos. Otherwise nobody would have cared.
“She may be poorly educated and irrational, but she’s dangerously savvy when it comes to understanding how to lead that group around by the nose.”
Yep, that’s our Sarah! Queen of Stupid and proud of it!
My theory–and I’d bet good money on it–is that she used the black marker to make McCain’s name *more* pronounced and visible for the cameras, not less. The words are more legible with the help of the alterations . . .
Honestly, is there any doubt whatsoever that this whole trip was designed for publicity purposes?
Rep. Traficant could teach Palin a thing or two about not attracting unwanted attention.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/17/james-traficant-who-serve_n_395665.html
Poor Piper never gets to go to school, play with her friends, or get an education.
OMG is she really that stupid??? Incognito…honestly!!!
OOH but then all ya have to do is remember how she addressed the food/fuel crisis in rural Alaska last winter…. evangelist and a plate of cookies! So I guess that answer the question about her IQ or lack there of
Busy busy busy here but had to comment. Talk to y’all later
I doubt if the princess is loving the pictures taken of her. Check out the photos on Bree’s web site. She is truly ugly in those shots. $P’s head must be spinning unless she’s so far gone that when she looks at them, she only sees how beautiful and flawless she is (NOT). The ugliness of the photos match her greedy, vindictive soul.
No way does $carah do “incognito”…. No way.
She likes to be a walking billboard.
She likes to send a message all the time, 24/7.
No way does she ever intend on going “incognito”.
This is a weed up cover up of a photo op if I ever saw one.
Feck Sarah!
Awe, I thought she hated Hawaii because of all those native locals. Ya’ll remember. LOL, she thinks now she can go anywhere and not be recognized. Oh please Sarah you know what you are doing and who believes that story. All the millions you have and are making you couldn’t afford to buy a new visor. You are looking to keep yourself in the public eye and then turn around and blame those dang luberal reporters. Your teabaggers may buy what your selling but we don’t. You still are a loser and a cheap one at that.
Not only the visor, but that shirt is in such bad taste. How mavericky trailer-trashy of her.
She didn’t think people would recognize Todd…or Piper….or the baby….all who were sitting on the beach without hats? She thought the biggest factor in going incognito was covering up McCain’s name? Sheesh.
The truth is, that woman WANTED to be noticed and I’m sure TMZ was notified of her whereabouts. I predicted the other day that she was going to Hawaii to try and steal the media attention away from the President who travels home for Christmas. Wow…the only media attention was from TMZ. ha, ha.
I think the whole thing was supposed to be a photo opportunity to show Palin with Todd together, and Palin kissing Trig.
She is just so dim that she can’t think through the negative consequences of her poor choices. Think Gobblegate.
of course she dissed mccain…he lost for her…but as in opposite marriage, she lost for him……I thank God every single day that neither of them won! I would thank God more if she (this dangerous wacko) would go away from public life…permanently! Please, God, answer my daily prayers!
Thighgate…yuck!
google “Sarah Palin” and “cellulite.” The results are hilarious.
And the significance of this is not that she looks like a middle aged woman. It is that her appeal to many people is the “hottie” persona. Had she not made such a production out of her looks (wink, wink; hairflip; wiggling walk in the short skirt and FM shoes), it would be a complete and utter non-issue.
I can’t help think about the fact that this woman was potentially a heartbeat away from the Nuk-Klear codes. God save us all.
As recently as a few weeks ago, she told O’Reilly in an interview that she should be President of the United States because of her “common sense” values!!!
Common sense? Common sense would tell most people to buy a new hat and not black out the name of the former Presidential candidate, and the man you made you rich and famous. Common sense would also dictate that go to a resort that could offer you privacy…if that’s what you wanted.
Someone on another blog had a good question, well actually two good points: if her t-shirt has the word Hell on it, how is wearing it in front of Piper any different from a campaign staffer using profanity in front of Piper and two, will Billy Graham’s organization continue to support her when she blatantly wears a shirt with profanity on it? Seriously. I am not being snarky. I think someone should contact Franklin Graham and ask if this type of advertising is the type of evangelism and Christianity supported by his organization?
The man who made YOU rich and famous….sorry
P.S. to my above comment: the complaint about the McCain campaign staffer(s) is in her book according to AKM.
I think those are very valid questions.
That’s what happens when Palin travels without the lying/spin machine.
Instead of concocting the lie she offered, they would have had her say:
“Oh goodness! Piper was playing with the visor and a magic marker one day and she crossed the logo off.”
Or she could have said that this was the real reason why she fired Walt Monegan.
Supposedly the hotel where she is staying in Waikiki has a private beach for people who truly want to go incognito.
The Politico has replaced Facebook as Sarah’s go to PR blog.
Trish @ 32, I think you mean Nuk-ULAR. The idiots.
Waikiki Beach is the busiest stretch of beach you can find in Hawaii. You don’t go to Waikiki Beach to hide. There are plenty of hide-aways in Hawaii where no one will find you…if that’s what you want.
Did they say she was at that private beach at her hotel….or not?
Yes. You are right.
What’s all the fuss? Didn’t poor, innocent Sarah just explain that she was going incognito when she blacked out McCain’s name? Yeah, right. I saw an article where some Palinbots still have their McCain/Palin stickers on their cars but have ripped off McCain’s name and left Palin’s. This was not some innocent act on her part. As for the lying, I wonder what she’ll have to say about the unflattering pictures taken of her. Oh, yeah, that was her “double” not really her….
Well , here we are talkin’ about her……….she be stayin’ in the news.
No worries. The Mudflats is “incognito.”
AKM
Am surprised she wasn’t whisked off to Oral Roberts funeral like the dignitary she believes herself to be…..
republished from the forum.
i said “the pity of all this is that one with the authority will EVER protect that little boy. there is not one news organization or or one health care or child protective agency who will speak for and defend this child from this malignant woman and her ineffectual husband. not one.
Many have mentioned Palin not liking cussing around her children and publicly stating that. But, have you seen the interview w/Barbara Walters…she cussed herself in it and Piper and Willow were present. She does NOT practice what she preaches that is for sure! But, what else is new?
Someplace I read that Sarah called Politico to explain the incognito excuse. So, when we see the Palin Pictures from Hawaii, in almost every picture, TMZ and Celebrity Gossip, Sarah and Todd are busy talking on their phones. No doubt, they are calling other media outlets to keep their story alive. Sarah’s need for publicity is shameless.
If Sarah wants to get her name in the papers, should take some tips from those who are experts at working the media. For example, she could show up without an invitation to the next formal dinner at the White House. (I hope she wears a beautiful red sari). Sarah could leave one of her houses at 2:30 AM, back into a tree and a fire hydrant and refuse to talk to the police. She could adopt 16 orphans, beating out both the Octamom and the Gosselins.
Sarah could say crazy things like Michele Bachmann (“More carbon dioxide is a good thing”)– oh, wait a minute, Sarah already says crazy things. She twittered about what a beautiful time of year this is in Alaska: …”this yr;wanting kids (especially!) 2remember true Reason 4 the Season.This is most beautiful time of yr n Alaska&reminds how blessed we r.” (Trying to say something profound and philosophical about the Christmas Season in 140 characters or less sounds shallow).
So, that will be the next Palin Publicity ploy; saying something more crazy than Michele Bachmann. I so totally believe that was her only visor, and that it was a misprint from the visor-factory, her kids were playing with markers around Sarah’s closet, John McCain told her to cross out his name so no one would recognize Sarah, yeah.
And, kids, especially!, while you are swimming and playing on the beach, try to remember true Reason 4 the Season.
@bubbles – They’re afraid to step in because of her high profile with the media and since it’s neglect and not outright abuse they’ll keep their mouths shut.
Sad to say.
@#46 Jodie: “I got four yes’s and one Hell Yes!”
So, we all know that she didn’t really want to be invisible. But who is the other person in the photo. The hair is the wrong color for older daughters. And why are Piper and Trig there without some sort of hat and sun glasses.
I got the worst sunburn of my life on a beach in Texas – near sun stroke, if it actually wasn’t. And it didn’t take that long. And last year my son-in-law got such a bad sunburn in Florida when he didn’t put on sunscreen – he was sick for a day from that.
Since Sarah doesn’t seem to have enough sense to dress the kids properly, I hope she at least put a good sunscreen or sun block on them. Their Alaska skin won’t be able to handle the Hawaii sun on the beach.
And Hawaii, really? Why is she in a state where she doesn’t like the people? Is that to show that she really does like them after all? Hmmm
Incognito, my foot. Does she really think that people who have half a brain are going to believe that line?
Sarah never looked so good (sorta):
http://www.dlisted.com/files/rupalinopenpost.jpg
Who the hell is Sarah Palin to tell people to get the hell out of our country???!!!
Is this her way of saying she has decided to leave our country? After all she is in Hawaii, and Obama was born in Hawaii…and he “wasn’t born in our country”…so she is not in our country?
Incognito indeed. The day SP goes incognito will be when she is shamed out of the next campaign and tucks her tail between her legs and FINALLY goes home…to her second weird house…on the lake she made dead.
Wattagurrrrllll.
It’s awfully fun to piss her off. And pissed she is – not all attention is good attention even for the Vampire Twit. She’ll pop a few blood vessels, swear off Red Bull for about one half a day, then give in and start kicking the couch while drinking them back to back to build up to her snarky reply (just for starters.) That’s OK by me, the more angry she gets, the more damage she does to her already deficient blood supply to the brain. She’s an adrenaline junkie, not a healthy person with true stamina. That’s why she has to play the victim and get mad, in between sleeping on the couch in front of Game Show TV and begging the kids to bring her Crunch Wrap Supremes.
This is as stupid as her Turkey fiasco – keep ‘em coming, Sarah.
@#50- The Palinbots will believe her. We don’t count cause we’re not “real Americans” and we’re not true “patriots” cause we didn’t buy her book and go to her book signing but don’t forget we are all “voters”. So if and when she does run in 2012 we can show her what “real Americans” and true “patriots” we really are. lol
Such a role model ( not ) she needs to take her own advice nd STFU…
Perusing the TMZ site this morning, I just had to peak at the comments below the latest photo where Todd’s t-shirt statement was really clear.
I read the first page of posts and was sickened to read that most commenters were praising the shirt and wondering where they could buy one. More and more I wish I could get off this boat of stupids. I really do hope we all survive this terrible time of idiocy.
sarah looks hawt in these x-mas cards. 24 hr. delivery.

It’s been noted in several places that her sick bots swarmed TMZ like they always do. Those are not every day Americans – have no fear. Actually, it’s all they know how to do. Don’t let that dishearten you for one second – it’s actually quite sad and pathetic.
As usual the dingbat’s actions speak volumes. Just when you think she can’t top the last stupid stunt she comes through!
She’s such a dill-hole.
I’m so ready for the “real” news. Hope it has to do with the mysterious envelope AKM received and with what austintx was saying about a photo that was the reason she became the quitter. Oh goody, I can’t wait!!
Nope. I won’t have anything on the envelope until after the first of the year. So, put it out of your minds (swinging a pocket watch before your eyes) Forget….foooor-geeeettt….. AKM
Incognito? Right, like a turd in a punch bowl.
Hey, her bots are trying their darndest to be proactive and a few found this site:
http://www.fadedyouthblog.com/154497/sarah-palin-cant-outrun-her-cellulite
As usual, Trig needs a hat or sunglasses. And she needs a new vacation to recover from this one. Keep poking at her – she’ll eventually spew all the pus out. (As I said before, my Child of the Light days are on hold til she’s gone).
Maybe she just found the visor in her room and thought -!Wwhat the heck – I didn’t bring one so I’ll just use this one. Oh! He isn’t the president (like I thought he would be) so I better just black out his name so the “real” president isn’t offended here in his “home” state.”
Some of the stuff she does is good for a laugh, like blacking out McCain’s name on the visor because it shows how petty and juvenile she really is. It seems harmless enough but it’s her fans that have me so bewildered. With $P I’ve come to expect almost anything crazy from her because she is crazy. She has a personality disorder that no one is taking seriously (like her family).
I find it very amusing she’d take a black marker over McCain’s name, what a way to diss him. lol, I hope he comes out with somekind of reply to her arrogant stupidity.
I swear she read Gryphen’s blog post “not a runner” and of course had to go running. Predictable and very ready to be punked.
#65 NJ: With $P I’ve come to expect almost anything crazy from her because she is crazy. She has a personality disorder that no one is taking seriously (like her family).

I couldn’t agree more, so when do ya think someone close to her (and/or law enforcement/white coats) will intervene?
What books are these that are in the stroller?

Wow, just wow…
hey, austintx, good to see you back!
Incognito? She needs to watch some more episodes of Get Smart.
Good going Sarah…that phrase, Wasilla Hillbillies…..it fits. Enough said!
Mother Of The Year, perky crowsfeet well sheltered in the visor shade and sunglasses. Her children? Hatless under the strong Hawaiian sun. What warms the heart more than that? Also, too, does Piper ever attend school?
sage–apparently not…
Injuneau -
Been back for a while. Good to see YOU back. Ck. your pm. tee – hee.
Gah! Oh, to be a mouse in the corner at John and Cindy McCain’s house(s). Can you imagine what they really think of the former governor? Thanks a heap, Senator. But maybe your pain is worse than ours, you can’t talk publicly about it!
Got it (funny!). Check yours for where I’ve been…
So, AKM, is your “real news” the stuff that other sites have up? If so, YAY!
I see a lot on the web about visorgate, but honestly, I think the bigger story is t-shirtgate. Honestly, she has aspirations to be the Leader of the Free World and she decides to wear a t-shirt with profanity telling people to get the Hell out of America if they don’t like it? If she wasn’t a world-wide joke before, can you imagine what other world leaders are saying about her now?
It really blows my mind.
@Lainey #68 – Eventually the pressure of trying to outwit the liberals will get to her and she’ll have one major meltdown and hopefully then the men with white coats can come and take her away to a nice padded cell (where we will all be safe from her.
@Martha #63 – At first I was doubtful that $P read the blogs (how much time does she have?) but after reading the other blogs like Palingates, Bree Palin and Immoral Minority and by $P’s actions I realized they were right. And lo and behold yesterday she is photographed “running” after comments were made about her cellulite and questioning if she really ran at all.
What I didn’t understand is why did she care at all if she’s supposed to be so “mavericky” but then I got it…narcissist personality disorder, sociopathic behaviour disorder. Her need to make things up so that she looks good and everything is NOT her fault. The shoe fits her well. If she weren’t so EVIL I’d have some sympathy for her but I don’t. She only cares about herself. Her family is important to her because she can control them whereas she can’t the rest of us, although she tries like heck to do that.
Worth a quick look because it makes fun of the bots with spinning heads over the visor pics. The only time I bother to read about them is when someone is pinning them down for exactly who they are, and who they are not.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/Palin-Visor
Sarah didn’t black out McCaine (rhymes with Cocaine) to be dis- respectful. She only did it to be in-cognito! TThis gives you an idea of the level of her intelligence – one stem below a grape.
MUYS –
Thanks for that link. Some good links with pics. in there. Does she ever put that friggin’ Blackberry down ?? It’s a b*tch surfin’ the net on one. It drives me crazy to do it on mine.
LOL London Bridges!
She’s about 100 grapes shy of a bunch.
Once, or maybe hundredth, again we notice Sarah does not have the capacity to see the reprecussions of her actions.
She wants celebrity, and attention, lights, cameras, her picture on every magazine cover,
and privacy.
It don’t work that way Sarah.
This visor episode was bait to get attention – Why not pick a new one up in an airport, or a gift shop for a few dollars. Instead, she chooses to go around the house, find a marker, and take the time to blacken the name. The covered-up name on her cap is more noticeable when it’s smeared in black ink, and people tend to be more curious to an ink stain and immediately recognize her.
She’s a compulsive attention addict.
Oh, and the t-shirts, don’t know about anyone else here, but I usually try to read what’s on tourists shirts, then glance up at the person. She’s not fooling anyone; wonder if she and Todd are sponsoring for the t-shirt and cap company.
I pointed out yesterday that the quote on the t-shirt was from John Rich the country singer. Well , here he is driveling on and on about sarah.
Puke alert.
http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/09/65085/index.html
Nice shirts, Ugly Americans.
Let me also add that there are probably quite a few indigenous Hawaiians who want Sarah to get the hell off their island.
Oh gawd – poor McCain – he’s going to have to come to the nut job’s defense one more time. Not long after the last time. Not long til the next time.
It’s got to be getting old, but he’s stuck there like a scarecrow because he has to preserve his image of good judgment.
Also, too – IMO, it’s Cindy who would be the dangerous one of the two McCains for Sarah to p off and the women know it.
As the Visor Turns, stay tuned.
can’t wait for the “real” update!!!

i’d say more than quite a few.
I’m Palined out and have certainly posted my share of disdain toward the fake twit today.
One good thing, though – I didn’t hear about TW one single time today or a headline or anything… you know he’s breathing a big sigh of relief over Palin stepping in with stupid to steer the gossip away. Chuckle, snort. Ok I’m done ranting.
OK – I admit I am out of it. What is TMZ? Thank you.
@jimzmum: The book Palin is “reading” is (irony alert) “It’s Not About Me: Rescue From the Life We Thought Would Make Us Happy” by Max Lucado, the same evangelical preacher Palin quoted in her Hannukah message.

@Martha #80 = Thanks for the link, that was a great article. Very well written.
I agree with rebekkah that t-shirts do draw attention to the wearer especially if it says something. So as for her “story” about going “incognito” is just more baloney from her. How can someone who aspires to be POTUS be such a dimwit? Only a sicko like Ms. Palin. If President Obama wore such a shirt do you think the Palinbots would have something nasty to say? You betcha!
mccain is so much more malignant than mrs palin. he has been alive longer and in power longer. he is much more dangerous and hateful. he simply picked a malignant sociopath younger and prettier than himself. if not for the people who came out in unprecedented numbers who voted for a human being this country would be finished. we would never be able to recover.
Don’t you know that Todd is just gritting his teeth while repeating his mantra over and over again: stay for the money, stay for the money, stay for money…..
I actually feel sorry for him.
McCain was an incompetent, spoiled, elitist, opportunist, self-centered,arrogant traitor who didn’t care one iota about the MIA’s. He also finished last or almost last at his class at West Point, in other words has the intelligence of George W. Bush, Sarah the Im-Palin or worse. Yuck!

Why are these kids vacationing in Hawaii and NOT in school??
I though Sarah didn’t like Hawaii, it is to “asian” for her..
I’ve been out-of-town for 4 days and couldn’t comment. Havn’t read all of the comments yet either.
Since Tawd has his A$$ parked on the beach in the sand… I think I can safely
say that the problem with the ‘ roof ‘ has been fixed. Sure glad S’error gave him permission to come down.
Welcome back to the craziness hiG!
I absolutely am disgusted by the slogan on Palin’s Tshirt. I am so tired of people saying that people who happen to disagree with some of our country’s policies or some political position don’t love America. It is the lowest accusation that can be made. It is because we love America that we want our country to be a just and compassionate country. My question is, why are the same people who say they love America, seem to hate the American people that work hard but are suffering at the hands of corporations motivated by their bottom line? The same people who are trying to live the American dream are victims of the super rich and the corporations who are sucking the life blood and treasure out of our country.
“If you don’t love America then why don’t you get the hell out?”

Are you serious? Is this bimbo for real? It begs the rest of the sentence, “or else what?” Talk about a bullying threat masquerading as patriotism (which, in itself, can be a very destructive force, blinding many to truth).
Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched.

Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country.

Welcome back to the craziness hiG!

Thanks for the sentiment seattlefan….. I was actually in your state briefly for one day. The other days were spent traveling around Oregon… in a LOT of misty rain. I never saw the sun till I made it back to CA again.
It’s back to the stories on ‘ the tubes ‘ again.

Maybe she just found the visor in her room and thought -!Wwhat the heck – I didn’t bring one so I’ll just use this one. Oh! He isn’t the president (like I thought he would be) so I better just black out his name so the “real” president isn’t offended here in his “home” state.”
———-
No. For that to be true, she would need to have the capacity to form a cogent thought in her head. Which, as many of us know. …
Ah, hiG, you missed our sunny days when the temps were only in the 20s. And really, come in the summer – July or August are usually the nicest months. Can’t believe it was just a few months ago that I was complaining because it was so unbearably hot.
I was happy today with the misty rain and warmer temps – I loved being able to go shopping without wearing a heavy coat.
Someone earlier mentioned turning Palin in for the way she treats her children. Is anything ever going to come of that? I can’t imagine how Piper is ever going to get out of school – she has missed so many days. When I was teaching, a little girl who missed several weeks of school was turned over to the truant officer and the parents got a visit from the police. Yes, they actually had someone assigned to do that – but my first reaction was “they still have truant officers?” So, does Alaska have any official that checks on kids who are elementary age who are not in school?
she quits AGAIN!!!! (h/t to InRoswellBorn):

I swear she read Gryphen’s blog post “not a runner” and of course had to go running.
———
I thought (and still think) that G’s post is so snarky as to be over-the-top. She’s in her mid-40′s, not running as much and has had multiple births. This is simply Mother Nature taking over.
justafarmer -
Thanks for that !! Quit Hawaii ?!?! How friggin’ lame-ass is that ?!?!
@112 wow … nearly at a loss for words. However, many of our fellow mudlatters have pointed out – the Palins have enough money to buy privacy, yet they choose to (a) stay in the public eye, and (b) wear bright shiny “look at me” signs (while calling the paparazzi) so they can be victims. (darn, we had to cut our vaca short…)
I so want to be done with this adventure, so I can focus on more meaningful things in my life.
I don’t know-
Now she is getting hounded by a more ruthless and indiscriminate crowd- TMZ.
This will be her death knell. They are jackals and for some reason they have turned to her. The camera that used to be her friend is turning into her enemy, and blood has been drawn. The Paparazzi could care less- but to get the picture. And in this case it is to expose Sarah.
She is running from them and the reality of fading beauty and very visible flesh tone vulnerability.
Aging is a process we all accept. BUT for Sarah- her very rejection of any sort of human vulnerability- is what makes her now a target to be zeroed in on.
This one miscalculation- just the fleeting shots of her truly looking older than her stated age of 47- that will do her in. She is running from the camera as fast as she can- unless she can script the lens as well as she tries to script her lack of peer review…
Funny… Facebook is truly an irony for her- she can’t face herself let alone her critics.
She bitterly quit again?? Gosh… old Chuckles sure raised a good one, didn’t he??
Willow prolly had a sunburn and she left before anyone had a chance to find out. Or maybe the cottage cheese… nah, won’t go there.
Guess that means Hawaii is a safer place once more. …
Cottage cheese……….orange peel………hail damage……….
I came here looking for an answer for the quitter quitting her vacation. Fight with the ex-first dud? Sun burned children? Too many minorities? Saw the President’s original birth certificate? TMZ photogs didn’t wait for hair and makeup? Anyone?
teutonic13 -
Ni-i-ce. sarah is gonna get hounded good now. Aw-w-w……….
My my my, how the mighty have fallen. Last week she was homecoming Queen & had people paying for pictures. One short week later she is getting her cottage cheese legs photographed in the most unflattering way.
It’s over Sarah, the book tour is over & your kids are not going to ooh & ahh over you. They can’t stand you either.
When the marriage ends will you go back to you maiden name ?
austin…Hawaii was just an orchestrated snark…
I’m guessing Tawd and the kids have MAJOR sunburns…

Quote 9: “How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrible, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June. . . . If it were only the other way! If it were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow old! For that-for that-I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give! I would give my soul for that!” Chapter 2, pg. 29
Anyone know where the Palins were staying? There are SO many places in Hawaii with fairly secluded beaches, or rent an upscale house with a private beach. Her vacation must have been planned to get some sort of warm, fuzzy PR and once she realized that she blew it BIG TIME, she had to race back to Alaska. Idiot.
crabbyPatty, Waikki Hilton is what the celebrity blogs were saying
or however it’s spelled
I stayed at the Discovery Bay Condominiums in down town Waikiki for 4 months- and that entire area is pretty high profile. People go there to GET NOTICED.
I set up a poll at DailyKos if you want to vote…
http://www.dailykos.com/user/teutonic13
My guess is that she got a whole lot more attention than the visor black-out thing and maybe the locals aren’t that into her.
Pretty weak excuse, even for Scarah. I’m sure that there is NOWHERE in all of Hawaii that a visitor could purchase, say, a visor! They are probably as hard to come by as t-shirts and macadamia nuts.
Thanx Austin
Didn’t I read somewhere that Todd’s mom has a condo there? Guess no one was there to wait on her highness….
Sauerkraut, Willow didn’t come to HI with Ma & Pa Kettle.
Gotta get a little snark in here also, too. $carah’s boobs seem to come & go. Can’t even be consistent with them.
Kat…I noticed that too…very weird
The coldest ex half governor in the hottest state.
And I’m not talking looks.
teutonic13 -
So many choices , all good. Voted.
41% of those who voted choose she’s “afraid to go UNnoticed.” Peeps have their pulse on Palin’s psychology. It’s all about attention.
justafarmer -
Ck. your e-mail. Sent you a couple of early gifts.
Maybe she’s already blown through most of her cash: plastic surgery, a huge new house, lawyer fees, entourage, paying off whomever she needs to pay off, etc..
got them austin…yer sooo bad!!!!
I’m off to sleep now…got Santa’s helper duty in the morning
I will say though that I disagree with previous posters regarding the attack on her aging appearance from so many- Age spares none.
I used to look pretty good- but don’t really look “all that” anymore. I hate to bag her because of her looks. Unfortunately that has been a sail she flies/ has flown. Certainly the “less gifted by the gods” have no doubt fallen by the wayside in terms of her selection of people to associate herself with.
What is insulting to see is a good looking woman, that knows how to flirt within the commonality of the working class, settles in for the ride to the castle, and walks alone through it’s gates.
That would be fine if that was the end of it= but the constant encores, and reminders of her insulation from her past- is what most probably galls Alaskans the most.
Thanks 4 the look Austin
well said teutonic
IMHO she is a distraction. Focus on what SWWNBN is doing and you won’t be focusing on the Healthcare fiasco. I mean really, if you want to go to Hawaii and NOT get noticed. Go to the Big Island. Its really nice there, and has alot more territory to get lost in if she REALLY wanted to be incognito. I smell moose piles.
Rebecka @ 85 said ……”She’s a compulsive attention addict.
Oh, and the t-shirts, don’t know about anyone else here, but I usually try to read what’s on tourists shirts, then glance up at the person. She’s not fooling anyone; wonder if she and Todd are sponsoring for the t-shirt and cap company.”
Oh, I so agree with you! (BUT) They BOTH may have some sort of compulsive addiction. Definitely, they both are “milk it” wizards. It may be their base common denominator, (one of) their main connector attractions that drew them together in the first place.
Anyone in AK checking flight arrivals???
could be fun…
Hopefully TMZ will bird dog sarah’s ass………….er…….make that sunburned ass.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but mr palin’s shirt quote is pretty ironic coming from an AIP member.
Oh Pups! SP will just take off and get plastic surgery after this and hope that those unflattering pictures disappear. She had all her bots and old white men thiking that she defied nature and didnt age the same as everybody else does and she got caught without her clothing ( makeup ) on. She upped and quit and ran from HI because her attention scam backfired and showed her in a very bad light. She is fuming! You betcha!!
The only thing Scarah is a pro at is QUITTING!
@Katmai #148 – They’re too stupid to see the irony of the shirt.
I just read the Politico statement Palin made regarding quitting her vacation; All I can say is – what a drama queen! She created the situation of it being known they were in Hawaii on vacation. They obviously chose not to stay in a private place w/a private beach. They wore T-shirts that drew attention to themselves on the public beach. They had to return to Alaska where she is going to run into more people that are no longer interested in her. Where will she go if national newspeople with photographers come to Alaska to see what she is up to? Poor baby! She has it so tough!
Oh, she’ll get her just reward eventually as will we all. What goes around comes around. At least Todd is flying his Alaska ‘tan’ with pride. Merry Christmas Mudflatters and Merry Christmas Sarah Palin too.
AustinTX……., in hindsight, you can tell from that very first introduction, she went ROGUE on them, immediately they were then suspicious of her cooperation. It was a play on her part, a power move, to position (and defend) herself, she knew why she was being chosen, for her perceived benefits, so she was going to use her guns as she saw fit. SO Scarah!
Just too bad, those ROGUE guns sucked air, eh Scarah. They screwed up picking you, and you screwed up going rogue on them. Truth said. So just Shut the F up and sit down, you lost, your were voted out, you were voted off our political island. Accept it. You got fame and money.
I think it’s more likely right now that she has “flame and money”!
But the money – maybe not for long. Gambling, politics, shopping addiction and personal enhancements are some of the quickest drains on a pocketbook no matter how full. 3 out of 4 is gonna run her dry fast. Book #2 will be titled “Goin’ Broke, an American Attack on Me!”
The most popular and expensive plastic surgeons are now staffing their phones 24 X 7 now awaiting her calls! Personal trainers, too – but they’ll only be hired for show so they are gonna get somethin’ for nothin’.
I’m throwing myself out – really I am – the snark just won’t stop and my stomach hurts from laughing, while my head hurts from me slapping myself because I’m so bad. It’s a painful combination.
In comments on a news story someone made a wise observation. By only being photographed with Piper and Trig, Sarah and Todd present as a “young family”- a mother with a new baby, not as grandparents with adult childeren.
I sure would not want to in her orbit right now – I’m guessing it is pretty stressful!
On another, more important topic- what were you going to share with us AKM? I went to a Christmas party and raced home to see what you had up your sleeve, but it appears not to be released yet. I have such a hard time waiting for surprises, so please share soon
I’m pretty sure she was staying at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel on Maui. I agree that if she wanted privacy she could have gone many other places to enjoy the warm weather and beach. She really wanted to be seen. I haven’t been there in a long time but the Beach Hotel is the least expensive of all the resorts on that very busy strip of beach. If I had any kind of celebrity it’s the last place I’d go.
I have to say: Sarah Palin is NOT the bee’s knees, thanks to TMZ.
It looks like one of the resorts with a created (i.e. fake) beach, like at Waikoloa on the Big Island. In one photo, you can see across the tiny bay to other beach chairs and pavilions. Photos here: http://www.gossipcenter.com/sarah-palin/photo/sarah-palin-7?profile=340480 She has a new hat, btw. I suspect the real reason she left in a huff is the photo of the backs of her thighs.
Lani, I so agree!!
Hey Sarah – Suze Orman gives you permission to buy a new visor.
I think it’s hysterical that we are all sort of controlling her behavior– it is so obvious she reads the blogs! Peeps complain about no socks on baby and bingo– next pics has the socks in place. Also, there was much concern expressed about kids without hats, sunglasses, use of sunscreen etc and all of a sudden it’s tuck tail and run back to AK, too. Speaking of running, much ado made about leg tone etc and she is running in newer photo. Hmmmmmmm. Think she knows we are pretty clear about her disappearing??? Go Sarah GO! Run away run away…disappear disappear.
The indents on her legs are from botched inner thigh liposuction. You can see them on both thighs, in the pap photos. She did not bring running gear to HI, so she is donning all new equipment, bad idea with regard to the shoes! Her props are sunburned, all the daughters are “daddy’s girls,” and fire in the hole in… 5…4…3…2…
Kat, Oh my gosh, I noticed that too. The other day, I noticed how big her boobs were (can’t remember which photos I was looking at) but the were from her book tour. I thought……she had a boob job.
Then, I looked a the photos of her in that t-shirt on the beach and I thought she looked really flat. What happened?
There are no private beaches in Hawaii. It’s one of the wonderful things about the place. If you go there, you share.
@MUYS (#8)
“This is not going to be any easy rogue to hoe for Palin ….”
Brriing! You have just won the Mudflats Pun Prize!
Now, was that just a pun on “rogue,” or a pun on “hoe,” also, too?
(You may take the Fifth. Just don’t drink it all at once.)
How about a body-size brown bag if she needs INCOGNITO!
Sarah Palin Quits Vacation.
Is there a Lieutenant Vacationer who can finish off the week, or do we need a special election?
I honestly think she wore the visor deliberately, knowing she would be photographed. Anything to get in the press for any reason.
She didn’t want to be photographed with Bristol and Willow in bikinis. The pap would be comparing the young tight bodies of the two teenagers to the middle-aged beauty queen with cottage cheese.
She left because the people on the beach did not line up and ask her to autograph that drivel of a book she wrote, and she noticed not a single person on the beach was reading her book. Besides, the State of Hawaii refused to confiscate all the tomatoes in the state.
MO Inkslinger –
Yup -Yup
Keep thinking about that comment, “Todd is home fixin’ the roof.” Is “roof” the code name for his girlfriend?
@ Chaim 166
Good catch! But yep, I take the 5th! I paid for all that snark yesterday, though – I actually woke up in a sweat dreaming this AM of Palin and her stupid visor, ruining my Hawaii vacation with her drama. Blech – never been so glad to wake up in my whole life! That’ll teach me to be snarky – NOT.
I also wondered what her religious pervert followers thought about the tee shirts. In browsing through the pictures on that “faded” sight…I say this one of her holding her little precious one in her special loving way while he take a bottle …and taking a big drink herself. What do the rest of you think is in her bottle? It surely looks like it has the word “Bee….” on the label to me. Not being a drinker (not from any condemnation, I just don’t like the taste) I don’t know brand names.

Wonder if the traditional Ukulele music was replaced with a Banjo for this family visit.
