Sarah Palin's "One Nation" bus tour is not only potentially damaging the intellect of the American people, it is also putting their very lives in jeopardy.


Sarah Palin hands out autographed copies of the Constitution. Hoping that somebody will explain it to her.
 Courtesy of Politico:

Sarah Palin’s bus is plastered with a mockup of the U.S. Constitution. But her entourage — both the three-vehicle motorcade that includes the bus and the smaller, two-SUV version she uses for smaller events — hasn’t been very respectful of the traffic laws.

They speed. They run red lights and stop signs. They make last-second lane changes to get off the highway, sometimes without signaling.

So do the reporters following them.

Journalists in the caravan trailing her One Nation tour bus describe the experience as harrowing, a rolling menace careening up the East Coast in hot pursuit of the former Alaska governor who declined to provide any advance itinerary of her tour over six days on the road.

As they left the clambake she attended Thursday in New Hampshire, Palin’s two-SUV caravan did 52 miles per hour in a 35 zone as it peeled away from the hosts’ neighborhood. Both cars blew through a stop sign about a mile later. They did 70 mph in a 55 mph zone on I-95 — and then, after they got off, without signaling, flew right past a flashing sign informing them they were going 45 mph in a 35 mph zone.

And that was after they’d already stormed the major cities — and just missed driving through a tornado on the road into Boston.

On Tuesday, the bus nearly hit a biker turning off of Pine Street in Philadelphia

You know I am not sure ANY other coverage of this bus tour does a better job of illustrating what a Palin Presidency would look like.

We have already seen that it would be dangerously anti-intellectual, but as this story demonstrates it would also undoubtedly ignore the existing laws that are in place to contain its power and do whatever the hell it wanted, just like Palin did as Mayor of Wasilla. Or have everybody forgotten this quote: 'I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'"

I know that Palin likes to argue that all of those ethics complaints filed against her while she was Governor were frivolous, and perhaps one or two fit that category, but the majority of them were in response to some rather serious ethical lapses, and they became the ONLY way to hold our Governor accountable for her actions since she never responded to good advice nor common sense.

This is why I NEVER take the teabaggers seriously.  They say they want their leaders to adhere to the Constitution and follow the rule of law, and yet they support candidates who have demonstrated nothing but disdain for the rules, and who do not even appear to have a rudimentary understanding of what the Founding Fathers envisioned for this country.

The next time that Sarah Palin tries to hand a copy of the Constitution to an American citizen I hope they ask her if she could explain to them ANYTHING specific about what it says, and watch her stumble to provide an answer that is not just some version of the word salad that she dishes up every time anybody puts her on the spot.

The woman is virtually unteachable, and simply has NO respect for any rules or laws that do not let her do what she wants to do.  And that is NOT somebody that you allow to gain power, that is somebody you walk to the park in a child safety harness so that they do not run out into traffic.

Of course for Palin it might need to come with a gag, since in her case the mouth is her most dangerous orifice.

    If we thought that they might be nailed by the police, here's a little tidbit from just a bit further in to that story:

    "...a cop pulled up, pointing out to the first reporter trailing the bus how many lights they were running. The reporter apologized — but begged to stick with the bus. The perplexed cop let him go."

    It must suck to be Sarah; get your vacation paid for with other folks' money (legally!), run red lights, have near misses with bikers...

    But then if being Sarah is the price for that, it's too steep for me.

    Mimi and everyone else wondering, the woman in the red suit is a Palin impersonator and doppleganger. If is not Sarah. I saw another video where they were posing for pictures together, ugh.

    And may I just say that 5 whole days touring the entire east coast does not an educational tour make. I mean really, many people take 3-4 days just here in DC alone. When I take my kids downtown to a Smithsonian museum we typically spend anywhere from 2-4 hours in each one of them! I don't think Sarah spent more than half an hour at each stop.

    It would be interesting to find put how many US Park police, tour guides, and local law enforcement had to be used for Sarahs Wild Ride The Sequel. I would love count up the wasted taxpayer dollars squandered on the Media Whore Idiot Queen

    The constitution needs an admendment to require mental stability testing of candidates for president and VICE-president.

    Sarah Palin could not pass a pyschological evaluation to even enter the military much less the more extensive testing for people that work with our nuclear weapons.

    And yet, Sarah Palin has the ambition to control our nuclear weapons.

    Her actions on this bus tour are just exactly as Dunn describes her in numerous things she was involved in back when she was nominated. If anyone hasn't read Dunn's book, then you should because it is very well written and researched.


    She is vindictive and a back stabber and will not give up until her so called enemies are on the ground bleeding and she will still keep kicking them. She is really a scary person and I would be afraid if I ever crossed her; she carries grudges for years.

    _________________________________

    What a stupid thing to say. We do not all have personal experience with the politicians leading us and must therefore make decisions based on how they present themselves and what others reveal about their experiences with them.

    Further, Sarah Palin is a profligate liar, playing a role. We cannot trust her to tell the truth about her actions or motivations and therefore must rely on those who have personal knowledge of her, like Bailey.

    Not to mention, Bailey uses Palin's own e-mails to underscore his assertions.

    So, yes, I can argue with the idea that we should only judge Sarah Palin or any other public figure soley by our own experience with her/them.

    Palin slams Mitt over mandates from the cover of her happy Gidget routine. Ouch.

    Sarah Palin is an expert at southern politics, and it only helps that she is so gosh darn pretty while she elbows her opponent. Her breathless charm belies the knife, “I’m just here doing my education tour and we’re all so happy, he’s great, too bad about those mandates, we independents don’t want to be told what to do by the government, I’m sure he’s not mad that I’m here, stepping on his day, gosh no, bless his heart!”

    Down goes Romney. He never saw what hit him. It would help to remind everyone that this bubbly lover of freedom had crosshairs on Democrats not too long ago. The boys mustn’t be distracted by the exterior.

    The boys are going to have a tough time going after the non-declared Palin. She can take all of the shots she wants without having to get in the ring. I’m sure Mitt’s team will find a way to rebut her, but out of pity for Romney’s Palin burial, let me remind everyone that Sarah Palin’s Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) was a government mandate on the oil and gas companies. And by the way, her windfall profit taxes raised oil taxes to the highest in the state’s history

This a right-wing talking point, to make republicans feel more confident about winning in 2012 with their weak field of candidates, which is no sure thing, even with a bad economy. Republicans running on doing away with Medicare? Should be "incredibly intersting indeed."

    Sarah Palin needs to go away – no more speeches, no more Faux spots, no more Discovery Channel, no more books or bus tours and no more reporters. Make her a piranha!

    Go away Sarah – just go away!

  77. Sarah quitting her One Nation tour after 5 days reminds me of an old Far Side cartoon. Setting: a classroom full of kids and teacher. Punchline: Johnny raises his hand and asks the teacher if he can be excused because his brain is full. I'm sure Sarah's "brain" was full by breakfast of the first day. The rest was just filler. Thank all the gods that this pathetic farce is FINALLY over. Five days has felt like five years. I am going to have to produce at least two of my more "violent" barbie photo shoots to compensate for my mental anguish. Perhaps I will have to have the Founding Fathers beat Sarah to death with copies of the Constitution. That might make me feel better.

    she is sure doing a lot of political stuff considering this is not a campaign tour. She had breakfast this morning the NH's Senator Kelly Ayotte.

    You may remember that she deleted all her e-mails when she left the AG position for the Senator job.


    As AG she also failed to investigate FRM - Financial Resources Mortgage. The company ran a ponzi scheme and bilked NH residents out of $100 million.

    sound familiar?

    So she didn't even fly back "home" to Alaska, but went to Phoenix.

    That news video is so telling..poor little Piper "can we p..l...e...a...s...e just go?!!" while Mom chirps away. She saw a camera and and mic and she had to talk.

    Nice to know that after a whole five days of vacation they need time to "regroup". I am thinking IF they ever do really go back to the bus, Trig will be with them..but I seriously doubt they will get back to the bus.

    With the price of gas, will they now just let the bus sit in Boston, since it would cost a lot to drive it all the way home...where ever the hell that is for them now. And...the price of flying the four of them was so much cheaper than it would have been to ride the bus?

    She is getting ready for her big announcement on Sunday. P...l...e...a...s..e Sarah, run! We need the entertainment.

    If anyone has the stomach for it, she's on Hannity tonight.

    The law-breaking that SP does, and gets away with it is uncanny.

    She is misrepresenting herself when she claims she's a rogue. Rather, she's more like a rebel, a truce-breaker, law-breaker, vigilante. So she doesn't want to follow the conventional ways of politicking. Is she the future of the GOP if she's encouraging kids to disobey? It's dangerous.

    As a result, unless Palin decides to formally explore a possible presidential run, she is free to spend the money raised by SarahPAC for “any lawful purpose” under federal law, experts said. That means it doesn’t matter whether the trip is a holiday, a political event or something in between.

    “Not only can she use SarahPAC for a family vacation, she could use it for her home mortgage payments or anything else she wants,” said Paul S. Ryan, associate legal counsel at the Campaign Legal Center, an advocacy group focused on election laws.

    Sarah Palin's supporters are fond of saying, "She's just like us," or "She's one of us," but how are their vacations paid for?

    Eggen's article has more information than what has been excerpted, above; for example, the IRS may consider the PAC's expenditures for personal use to be part of Palin's personal income. If so, she would have to pay taxes on that income.

    from IRS.gov:

    Whistleblower - Informant Award

    The IRS Whistleblower Office pays money to people who blow the whistle on persons who fail to pay the tax that they owe. If the IRS uses information provided by the whistleblower, it can award the whistleblower up to 30 percent of the additional tax, penalty and other amounts it collects.


    If you decide to submit information and seek an award for doing so, use IRS Form 211. The same form is used for both award programs.

    Just like those per-diems she collected from the state! And OOPS had to have a DO OVER to PAY WHAT SHE OWED.


    The McCain campaign has said it will release Sarah Palin’s tax returns and when it does, tax attorneys will have their pencils sharp and ready to go over the numbers.

    Several tax accounting blogs have raised the question: should Sarah Palin pay federal income taxes on the per-diem payments that she received from the state of Alaska for nights spent in her Wasilla, Alaska, home?

    Anthony C. Infanti, a professor of tax law at the University of Pittsburg law school, raised the issue in a blog called “Feminist Law Professors.” Mr. Infanti writes that if Governor Palin was not engaging in business while in Wasilla, but simply preferring to spend the nights there, then the per diem payments would be taxable income.
    http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/19/are-palins-per-diem-payments-taxable/



    Those d$#n bloggers again. Too much noise to be ignored, and kind of blatant, so:

    Gov. Sarah Palin must pay income taxes on thousands of dollars in expense money she received while living at her Wasilla home, under a new determination by state officials.
    The governor's office wouldn't say this week how much she owes in back taxes for meal money, or whether she intends to continue to receive the per diem allowance. As of December, she was still charging the state for meals and incidentals.

    "The amount of taxes owed is a private matter," Sharon Leighow, Palin's spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "If the governor collects future per diem, those documents would be a matter of public record."

    http://www.adn.com/2009/02/17/693695/palin-owes-tax-on-per-diem-state.html


    The same of course probably applies to all illegitimate expenses charged to the PAC, for purely personal items and expenses.

    Some googling assistant needs to visit wikipedia for Dennis Kozlowski and scroll down to the lifestyle section (his lifestyle before his arrest, conviction, and eight to twenty five year sentence ).

    Republicans have control of the House, earning it on their campaign promises of job creation.

    And everyday he pays a black tax...which earns him derision and disrespect. The Republicans are so entrenched in their dirty political ambitions, they have neglected their obligations to govern. Sucks to be one of their useful idiots, sucks even more that America has so many useful idiots. You want to debate your issues with Obama, come back with facts and be prepared to defend your positions.

    Sarah is incapable of responsible leadership, she doesn't care about anyone but herself, and her ability to manipulate your dollars into her bank account. She enjoys the lavish lifestyle you sponsor, your adoration, and especially the fact that you are her useful idiot.

    In complete agreement with you on American corporate media. Turn them off people. The internet will keep you adequately informed if you choose wisely. BBC and Al Jazeera are better sources for both US and international news. whitehouse.gov is an excellent source of active and current information.

    Our MSM has gotten lost in it's own translation of reality. I'm done complaining, I've turned the channel and canceled the cable.
