The REAL purpose of Sarah Palin's ridiculous bus tour.

As many of us predicted the entire thing was staged as a publicity scheme to get attention and  coax more money out of her paint chip eating supporters.

A message from the Grizzled Mama herself, courtesy of SarahPAC:

Our family has been blessed with an opportunity to showcase all that is good and strong and free about our exceptional nation.

("Our family?" Do you mean the one lone kid who you managed to bribe into staying with you, and your parents who needed you to buy them tickets to get back home?  Do you mean that "family?")

Even though the media too often sadly chose sound-bites over substance, they did get lots of substance during our “One Nation” tour from the nearly two dozen opportunities I got to speak candidly with them and talk about policy, politics, history, and everything in between. More importantly, I got to talk with countless everyday Americans who want to get our country back on the right track.

(Of course  most of those "countless everyday Americans" were just trying to make their way past the circus like atmosphere that follows you every where you go, so that they could see the historical monuments that they brought THEIR families to see.  But hey, if they did not want to be in a Sarah Palin political commercial they could have just stayed home, right?)

Not surprising, some members of the media missed a lot of this due to their relentless and futile search for scuttlebutt. So, we assembled this video to capture the amazing Americana spirit of the places and people we visited. I invite you to enjoy this recap of last week’s east coast bus tour.

("Futile search for scuttlebutt?" Oh lady, there was NOTHING futile about it! Believe me, you provided much "butt" to "Scuttle.")


Please remember we must learn about our past – our great successes, our bitter struggles, our enduring strength – in order to navigate through the challenges ahead so that we might remain a shining city on a hill and the abiding beacon of freedom.

As we look to our Charters of Liberty and our strong foundation to fundamentally restore America, we'll keep moving forward... and we'll keep reporting on it ourselves.

- Sarah Palin

("Blah, blah, blah, liberty, blah blah, freedom, blah, blah, gun rights, blah, we have heard it all before.)

Anyhow the REAL reason for this trip was simply to capture video images of Palin standing next to iconic American landmarks in order to create a pseudo-political advertisement.  And here it is.



Okay I probably should have warned you to have your barf bags at the ready.

I apologize if anybody ruined their keyboards.

Just send the bill to SarahPAC.  After all, that transparent display of stomach churning, right wing, political pornography, is ultimately THEIR fault.

    Wait, does noticing that Sarah Palin is a blithering idiot who can't keep her mouth shut count as finding "scuttlebutt"?

    Don't think so. We've known that scuttlebutt since 2008 (and some Alaskans have for 40-odd years).

    Seriously.

    That SHOULD come with a warning.



    You think she has a bulletin board with "smart phrases and words" on it?

    "These time tested truths...of common sense conservatism...are a canard, which, for which we need to shore up resources...scuttlebutt!!!"


    Again I must ask...how do people not see what's right in front of their eyes? How is there not just one but hundreds of thousands who actually believe this was a "family vacation"? When people send her their grocery money, do they ever think "I'm taking food out of my childrens' mouths and putting it into a mouth that can't form a cogent sentence"?

    My instinct is to laugh (a lot) at every jumbo word salad and politiporn Sarah PAC drivel piece we see and hear. But it never fails to put a damper on my fun, knowing someone out there is enthusiastically nodding, thinking "wow, Sarah Palin is SO one of US!"

  7. Bleh. I had to quit watching at 1:29. The way to restore America is to bring back the fairness doctrine, invest in education (so people don't think her nonsense is 'history') and get over our 4th grade mentality about human sexuality. Those three things would go further to 'restoring America' than anything Sarah suggests.

    Two comments:

    1. When she speaks about the Constitution, one notices that she becomes almost religious in her mannerisms - much like you see on CBN when preachers are speaking about the Bible. Don't know if its a sincere belief in America as a Christian nation, or just acting.

    2. Why did 6 people, then 5, then 4, need a huge gas-guzzling bus to take a family trip ? Do any of us use anything bigger than an RV to travel by road (98% of us use cars or SUVs)? Obviously, the trip was not a "family" vacation, so it it patently dishonest to portray the trip in this fashion.

    This video is a total falsehood and a slap in the face to the entire American society, especially those of you who call yourselves "followers" of this "False Politician". People all over the East Coast, including government officials, such as U.S. Park Police, City, State and County police agencies, were used by a private U-S citizen to be props in a "Political Commercial". The people associated with "Rolling Thunder" should immediately speak out against this, as should non-supporters of Palin who just happened to be "truly on vacation", and having their image shown on this "political commercial".

    She also used local TV News voices and images on this commercial, a majority of whom are members of "AFTRA-SAG" the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists-Screen Actor's Guild". Have these news anchors and reporters been duly compensated for their voices and appearances on this "POLITICAL COMMERCIAL".

    And talk about piss poor editing, she has a reporter say she's arrived in BOSTON, and the next shot shows her below the "WASHINGTON MONUMENT". I am appalled that is being put out as anything other than what it is, a "political commercial" by "Princess Dumbass" to put her hat in the ring for President...without really saying so, in order to keep er FOX money coming in.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, you...I'm sorry...we are allowing ONE WOMAN to punk an entire nation. Please wake the fuck up!!!

    This is beyond ridiculous, this is a total farce on a very large scale that needs to be stopped in it's tracks, PRONTO!! This is exactly what a grownup teenage bully will do, show blatant disregard for any and everybody, because no one has come up to her and Bitch Slap the Shit out of her! Where is our JUSTICE DEPARTMENT!!!...Where is Eric Holder? Where are the grownups?

  19. Hey! Besides Palin having us all shaking our heads about the Paul Revere ride, & this goofy trainwreck bus tour (motor coaches get about 8 miles tot he gallon you know), look at this sharp congressman asking the tough questions!

    http://www.kval.com/news/local/123401518.html

    Good!
    Palin should not get special treatment.

    Excerpts:
    “serious concern about the use federal resources in conjunction with the ‘One Nation’ partisan political tour conducted by former Gov. Sarah Palin.”
    "He cited a Washington Post report that said Palin got a “private guided tour of Mount Vernon, early admission into the National Archives, and private tours at all the federally managed National Park Service properties [the bus tour] visited but one.”

    “I respectfully request that you provide a written explanation of the Park Service’s policies on the use of taxpayer-funded resources for publicity events, as well as an accounting of Park Service resources that have been utilized by the ‘One Nation’ tour,” he wrote to park service director Jonathan Jarvis.

    The park service gave a partial response:

    "The park service did, however, offer to give Palin and her group early access to some sites, a courtesy they often extend to “celebrities and VIP guests.” Barna said they do this so regular park visitors can enjoy the sites without dealing with high-profile groups."

    So in other words, they are trying to spare the general public from having to deal w Palin!

    Look at the expression on Piper's face!
    Liberty my ass! I am stuck on this One nation nightmare tour, hanging out with a national embarrassment. I'll pose for the stupid picture, but I'm not smiling. I'm going to need a lot of therapy!

    Shall we dub it "Vacation Gate?"

    I, personally, think that the Parks Service decided to give private tours because they did not want Chuckie or $arah shooting something for lunch or Peeper carving her initials into a desk, door, or railing. The tour guides also needed to make sure the donation boxes were secure.

    "Members of the Thatcher circle are highly protective of the former prime minister, 86, who has suffered from dementia for some years. They ration her appearances with great care and are careful to ensure that she is not used by unsuitable politicians. This is why they feel so strongly that Thatcher should not meet Palin: they believe it would be beneath the dignity of the Iron Lady to meet such a lightweight figure who would use the meeting to burnish her credentials as the keeper of the Reagan flame."

    Sarah Palin's Fan Base

    More rough polling numbers for Sarah Palin: In a CBS News poll, a majority of Republicans said they don't want her to run for president in 2012.

    Fifty-four percent of Republicans said they don't want Palin to run, compared with just 34 percent who said they're hoping for a bid. Among self-identified tea party supporters, Palin fared only slightly better: 38 percent want her in the race, while 50 percent don't.

    A fantastic commentary, my favorite part:
    Jesus, we've seen the real Sarah Palin. Sometimes it feels like we haven't seen anything but. She's beyond an embarrassment. She's beyond a parody. She's actually beyond the question of just how willing members of your party are to fuck up what's left of the United States of America just so the Koch brothers get all the buggery they paid for. You can't possibly believe she's fit to be President of the United States. Hell, you can't possibly believe she's fit to be Treasurer of the Wasilla branch of the Dale Earnhardt Fan Club. You can't possibly believe that America just got the wrong twist on her story. Not if you've heard her speak two sentences. You sure can't imagine that some hack documentary is going to correct everyone's misimpression.

    Th' fuck is it with you guys? How is it possible you didn't learn your lesson with Bush? Is there that much incompetent potty training in the world?

    ONCE AGAIN ART IMITATES LIFE OR IS THAT LIFE IMITATES ART?

    Idiocracy is a 2006 American satirical science fiction comedy, directed by Mike Judge and starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph and Dax Shepard.

    The film tells the story of two ordinary people who are taken into a top-secret military hibernation experiment which goes awry, and awaken 500 years in the future. They discover that the world has degenerated into a dystopia where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism run rampant and dysgenic pressure has resulted in a uniformly stupid human society devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility and coherent notions of justice and human rights. But rather, this society emphasized anti-intellectualism perspectives and an emphasis on popularity, sexual attraction and hedonism.

    Private Joe Bauers, the definition of “average American”, is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes 500 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he’s easily the most intelligent person alive.

    I like Tomk's comment regarding the use of video that shows anyone who has not signed a release. Watch out, Sarah, someone might not like their image used without permission.

    The whole thing strikes as a continuous self-serving charity. Sarah spends PAC money to wrap a bus, fill the tank with expensive gas, hire a firm crew and jump the line in order to create a video of her visiting famous places in American history.

    Then, Sarah will use the video, paid for with PAC money to beg for donations to her PAC. In the end, we know that Sarah didn't learn anything about American History. We also know that Piper hasn't learned any good manners. The One Nation Bus Tour used PAC money to beg for more donations to her PAC. This is the part of America htat we should not be celebrating, the use of money and celebrity in place of substance in our political system.

    And if she doesn't ascribe to the democratic way then what way is it she ascribe to? She wants to be Queen Esther? Are you seriously proposing we become a monarchy with her in charge? I thought that was why we fought the Revolution, we wanted a democracy

    Subject: pictures

    Todd-
    The Daily News wants to know if the family would share any baby pictures. I said I doubt it but I would ask. Thanks

    Todd's response: Chuck may have a couple.

    What?? How many other dads with newborns have to ask for baby pics from the grandfather, who MAY have a couple??? Very weird.

    Yeah, I also knew all along that the whole point of this "vacation" was photo ops for future propaganda releases.

    I mean, the very idea that someone would claim they were "highlighting American history", while not actually highlighting anything but herself and how "annoyed" she was with the media interrupting her "family vacation" was pure idiocy right from the start.

    Delicious irony for the stupid bitch to slam the media for being "no substance". Seriously $arah, the ONLY scrap of "American History" that came out during your publicity tour was the result of a "gotcha question" about the landmark you JUST FUCKING VISITED, AND YOU GOT IT WRONG!

    Oh please lord, let this stupid, stupid, deluded narcissist run for President so we can shut her up once and for all. After all the bullshit she's inflicted on this nation, we all deserve to see her very, very public implosion live on tv.

    I think Sarah imagined she would have thousands of people waiting at every stop and when it was in the 10's, that's right 10's of people at each stop it hurt her borderline personality ego. As for the "family" vaca, what a joke. And it's quite obvious that Sarah and Todd live completely separate lives and that maybe, just maybe Piper will be with Sarah part time.
    This is one of her last big grifting trips and she can see the writing on the wall.
    Sarah the lower 48 just isn't that into you. I know, I know you have gotten a strange view of reality from your mental illness and from your mentally ill Bots, but you have turned into a huge national JOKE. Soon to be a worldwide joke.

    IDK about all of you, but boy, I sure learned a lot from Sarah's tour. I've been waiting all my life to know what Paul Revere "rilly" did and gee whiz, never had any interest in our country's history .. until Queenie showed it to me. Specifically, I learned that if you recklessly drive an enormous bus, running red lights, speeding, cutting other traffic off, babbling over historical tour guides - well, you can "move our country forward".

    NOW is there still anybody that seriously doubts that she is indeed running for POTUS?

    In my mind the only question is under what party banner will she run: GOP (HIGHLY unlikely), Teabagger, Neo-Know Nothing, The Party of God, or In-deep-end-ent.

    This stupid bitch thinks THIS is what it takes to be POTUS. It's all about image, surface veneer, nothing but sheen. I don't care how much she buffs her turd or how lustrously it shines, it is still a stinkin' piece of shit. Substance is unimportant to her or her followers, which is why they so ludicrously try to assert that Palin's "experience" and "education" are equal or superior to President Obama's.

    Palin is a feckless moron, a simpering buffoon who pretends to be important. She is a posturing fraud who couldn't best your average invertebrate in a battle wits. She is an embarrassment not only to our nation but to our species.

    Palin, you are a cretinous dolt, an uninformed asshat, you are an ignoramus and you are under the delusion that you are anything other than a hapless peawit. Rest assured: you are not.

    Sit down and STFU forever.

    (Meant to post this comment on this thread--and keep up the good work, G.)

    What's amusing is the arching overtone of Sarah Palin's inflated sense of importance and self that's evident when she takes on her schoolmarm persona and decides to lecture us about American history and the lessons we should be learning from it. (Psst, someone tell her to learn the history first!)

    Well, here's a history lesson for Sarah Palin:
    "hubris" from the Greek "hybris."

    Investopedia Explains Hubris:

    What Does Hubris Mean?

    The characteristic of excessive confidence or arrogance, which leads a person to believe that he or she may do no wrong. The overwhelming pride caused by hubris is often considered a flaw in character. While these hubris feelings are often justified, they often cause irrational and harmful behavior.

    Chief executive officers and very successful businessmen who are overcome with hubris tend to be difficult to work with in team settings.


    Hubris may be developed after a person encounters a period of success. Corporate executives and traders overcome by hubris may become a liability for their firms. A manager might start making business decisions without fully thinking through the consequences, or a trader may begin taking on excessive risk. In many cases, people overcome by hubris will bring about their own downfall [my emphasis added].

    Children, please note last sentence in article above.

    So a three minute video with more shots of the bus and Sarah than anything else is supposed to provide a record of "the nearly two dozen opportunities I got to speak candidly with them and talk about policy, politics, history, and everything in between?"

    When does she talk about anything in the video? We barely hear what she went to see - a couple of pics of the Lincoln Memorial, which, to my knowledge, she didn't go. Then a couple fleeting shots of other unidentified places, maybe their names but no significant details.

    "Our foundation." Yeah, pancake, I think, with a lot of powder.

    I agree. Palin has found a way to skirt the campaign laws, weak as they are after the SCOTUS gave corporations more rights than private citizens in the Citizens United sellout.

    The real shame here is the media who give any credence to Palin as a candiadte for anything other than a reality show. Yes, the standrads of public dicourse and ethics have fallen this far.

    I say we run Kim Kardashian for president, or Kate Gosselin or anyone with a Hollywood makeover and a waist and enhanced bosom, and of course hair--doesn't have to be their own.

    Not that many people were excited to meet her. Palin could never draw a crowd like Barack Obama, and her poll numbers are still in the shitter. "You can't deny that." But you will, anyway.

    Sarah is equivalent to Jim Jones - and we all know what happened to HIS followers in Guyana - all 900 of them, including women and BABIES. To those not in the know, Jones' fanatic followers drank poisonous kool-aid and died.

    The carefully marketed Sarah-image is called the 'cult of personality' - whereas the gullible and uneducated will gravitate to the celebrity of their choice. WHY?

    It is because 95% of the world's peoples are FOLLOWERS. They WANT and NEED someone to look up to and tell them WHAT TO DO - even if that means emptying their pocketbooks, followed by TOTAL obsession, including death of themselves and their loved ones.

    This obsession includes movie stars, sports stars, politicians and Hollywood celebrities.

    Sarah is an illusion - and an extremely dangerous one at that. But I will hand 'it' to her - she's very good playing her role as America's heroine to fend off the likes of Obama and all the 'evil' in the world.

    Pass the barf bag.
