Stephen Colbert asks his viewers, "Won't you help Sarah Palin learn about US history for just pennies a day?"

I have been wanting to put this amazing segment from the Colbert Report up all day.

The Colbert ReportMon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
Sarah Palin's Bus Tour
www.colbertnation.com
Colbert Report Full EpisodesPolitical Humor & Satire BlogVideo Archive

In this next segment Colbert has former head of the FEC Trevor Potter explain how Palin can use her SarahPAC money to pay for her family's vacation.

John Stewart had a very funny bit up as well, but I just liked Colbert's a little more.

    What a "F-ing" retarded family.

    Piper please take my advice. The next time your mother asks you to leave school early and go on a paid family vacation, just say "No thank you mommy, I want to stay in school and get an education so I won't be a f-ing idiot like the rest of my family".

    Who else can imagine Sarah going crazy because the NYPD won't drop everything to track down who taped a sign to her bus? Can you imagine her anxiety when they don't do her bidding because they have "rill" crimes to deal with.
    BTW I am not condoning the taping of a sign to a bus, but I do want to give the person/persons credit for being intelligent enough to use tape and a sign, not spray paint, because it really makes it a non crime.

    Colbert and Stewart nailed her. Now I await the commentary regarding the poster on her bus - I The Media Whore.

    She must be fuming.

    Her tour is screwing up, Toad is MIA I(maybe Rolling Thunder can look into that one), she was at the STATUTE of Liberty, has no clue what it's about, or Ellis Island. Her daughter assaulted a newsguy then she made some lame apology that wasn't an apology (note she made no effort to identify the actual guy, "all reporters" must look alike to her, then the ABC questions - net she was looking for softballs and instead just about snapped when asked about the bus. How's that going to work if she's the candidate and can't hide behind the lie of Fox contracts? Then she wears the Star of David as though there are only Jews in NYC (Common misconception out there in "real" America - you know the heartland. Now she's talking about rising gas prices cutting the trip short even though gas prices are declining, she's not paying for the trip and she has millions of dollars. I'm sure the crowds are small, hence he now telling her fans where she's going to be - tired of being chased by reporters who keep capturing footage of her crowd of fans who are actually other reporters. Donald has so much respect for her he takes her for a slice of crappy pizza (guess he didn't want to share his favorite slice joint or show her around the Taj. Now Toadie may have fled the coop, Brisket is MIA with Toad. Willow is where again? And poor Trig, not even a "hi honey". Then the white pants so we could see how broad she's getting in the beam. The tongue flicks lead to questions about medication side effects. Can it get any better?

    Of course. Thunderstorms and tornado's in MA? Think God is sending her a message? He wants Michelle. He just told Michelle that, if you are such BFF's you think you might check in with her. At least MB feels the need to run in her heart while you just have a bad taco fire in your belly

    Give it up, Sarah. You will never be Queen of the Theocracy of the United States.

    One who cannot manage her own family cannot hope to manage our nation.

    Please drive your Dominionist Restoration RV back to Arizona or even better, to Alaska.

    BS… WAIT ONE MINUTE ALASKA OFFICIALS! Don’t try to pull a fast one on us!

    If you read the second sentence below from CNN, does that mean Sarah’s emails that are vindictive in nature which may not be considered state business will not be included?

    (CNN) - The Alaska governor’s office is set to release more than 24,000 pages of records relating to Sarah Palin’s term as governor…..

    ….. What will be made public are Palin’s emails dealing with state business—using both her official account as well as private accounts…..

    RE: emails. Hard to imagine that the Queen of the Tundra could write 26000 emails and only ten percent are vindictive. Really. She's so thin-skinned I'm sure she goes off regularly. I'd love to have that bus and her five star hotel room miked up. Guessing Toad and the Queen had a dust up. Maybe he left because they were afraid the New York Post might ask him about the gossip piece they wrote about some female Presidential hopeful who is super Christian maybe being married to a man who like to work both sides of the street. How would that be for a sidewalk shout out question? As for the NY cops? They have much better things to do than serve as security for Sara and her thugs let alone go after some dude/dudette who pasted a sign on the side of the bus. Have you seen their subway cars?

    Here's a question. If she stops the tour before it's done is that one more thing she's quit early? Does that mean they have to change the name of the new film to "Occasionally Defeated" or "Undefeated but sometimes I don't have enough time to win?"

    This Palinista from El Paso sounds like she's about 12, but no age given--and at some points it's obvious that she's reading from a script. Randi, Gawd love her, doesn't let the little 'Bot get away with an effin' thing!

    This exchange sums it all up:
    Randi: "You trust Sarah Palin with our nuclear arsenal?"
    'Bot: "Heck, yeah!"

    Haha.. he totally nails her. I'm sure a big part of this bus tour is to drain SarahPac of money she wants to put in her own little pocket.

    The other part is to continue her fantasy presidential campaign she began in 2008 without that old guy cramping her style.

  16. What I learned from SarahPac today:

    http://www.sarahpac.com/posts/amazing-statue-of-liberty-and-ellis-island

    1) Sarah still works for Fox.
    2) France is a kinda pissy country.
    3) There's nothing at Ellis Island but a bunch of kids on field trips and furriners -- none of whom can vote for Sarah, so that was a waste of time.
    4) Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan

    Is it really that hard to find out?

    For starters, does the bus have AK plates?

    Is this the same bus they drove to Los Angeles to see DWTS in the physically impossible > 2-3 days?

    Run, Sarah run. Sarah Palin was so successful as a governor, she graduated early "Bitter Quitter", she real is a "Dan Quayle" in heels. She clearly loves "dishing it out" but real can’t take it because she loves playing the victim card. Poor thing she fail as a VP candidate (her lie that her daughter was engaged was such a farce), her stand-up comic fiasco on the Jay Leno Show, please, her TV show canceled after declining rating, I guess her perpetual run for the White House is the only thing she can look forward to, but since she is a coward she will only throw small minded rocks, poor thing. Since we already had an idiot "W" that caused our current economic debacle, America knows not to trust the GOP fools who flaunt the idiocy.

    You know what this current crowd of GOP liars want is to turn the United Sates into China, where only a few giant corporations run things, they own the factories, that apartments, the grocery stores, the gas stations, the newspaper and magazine publications, the radio stations, the television stations and you pay them and they get all the benefits, and if you do not like it go jump off cliff. Well some Chinese workers seeing that as individuals that they cannot progress have done just that by committing suicide. The current crowd of GOP liars want to abolish Medicare from the elderly, they want to abolish a woman’s right to choose and have control over her own body, they want to abolish collective bargaining rights, and on top of it all they want to blame the poor, the middle class and the public sector workers for a recession that the GOP created, while their beloved "Fat cats" continue to pay themselves exorbitant salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits. Yes this is the GOP "Radical Right-Wing Social Engineering" that they dream about. The win in New York was the beginning but the next will be Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and later the other states of our nation. So run, Sarah run.

Right you all saw that.

    NOW CHECK OUT THE NEW VIDEO OF THE SAME EVENT BEING LINKED AT C4P that they say shows Piper happy with reporters, being funny, having a good time. http://www.therightscoop.com/palin-my-family-doesnt-need-to-be-tested-with-a-bus-tour/ At the beginning of the clip it is the same scene as the apology one EXCEPT THIS TIME Sarah is holding the flowers as they walk through the door, Piper is holding a water bottle PIPER’S HAIR IS PULLED UP IN A BUN IN THE BACK when before it was down OMIGOD THEY RESTAGED THE ENTIRE scene later so Piper would be seen smiling for the reporters talking happily. Not only this watch as Sarah starts to shake the hands of the EXACT SAME GUYS IN LINE AS SHE DID IN THE FIRST VIDEO they are the exact same guys with the exception she did not shake the last guys hands as she did in the first video because she went to go prompt Piper on an answer.

    Please for those who can copy these videos immediately before someone deletes or alters them and get them viral fast!!!

    So in essence the reporters went along with restaging the event? Or were they on SaraPAC payroll? I think someone needs to know what's going on. If it's journalists staging news then they should all be fired. And they and their organizations need to be outed. Part of a very large conspiracy? Or just more of the same with Sarah. Someone should send this to JS or SC, they can make it a joke and get the attention out there. They love calling out the media for their lies and hypocrisy. This might be a prime example

    Anon @ 6:12, I think the Fox tape is when they were leaving their hotel in the morning, before visiting Ellis Island. The second tape is from after their visit, I think probably at Ellis Island.

    What creeps me out about the interview in the car is how much she is obviously trying to flirt with these reporters. There is one guy from CNN who is really being overly nice to them, also. Sarah means big bucks for the major networks, I guess, and they'd love to see an Obama/Palin match up....jerks.

    Or, they are only trying to make nice with Palin and Piper so they can have access. Notice Palin has started to tell the press where she is going next.

    She really does damage control on a daily basis, doesn't she?

    She said the trip isn't what Todd "said", a chance to test the family, and it isn't an exploratory committee thing.... Just has a passion for the patriotic sights!

    I bet she and Todd had a fight over how to play this thing.

    I just wrote CNN about the two takes, be interesting to see how they respond. Shame on them for going along with her. The best part is the first, honest, take is from the local Fox station.

    I saw on The Weather Channel that Mass. was hit by tornadoes and that people were killed and that many were injured.

    Will Sarah do the mature thing and postpone her "look at me" vacation there or will she bring the circus to town, give some bullshit speech about how she cares for the victims, and then continue with the photo op??

    The Stewart and Colbert bits were hilarious last night!

    OT: Dick Morris was on O'Reilly tonight and was pretty tough on SP calling her ADD and essentially a media whore. Billo was agreeing. Morris believes this is a final push for attention and doesnt believe she'll run because her polling is so abysmal. He was also highly critical of the attention whoring making it difficult for any of the lesser players in the field (T-Paw, Santorum, Bachmann, Cain, Huntsman, Newt) from getting any traction and cited the 1996 election where Colin Powell did a big media push with a book and kept people guessing. That essentially gave the nomination to Dole.

    Looks like the only friends she'll have left at Fox are GVS and Hannity.

    Sheesh

    Last night, I think it was on The Ed Show, a guy was talking about Sarah prissing around acting like she was better & more patriotic that everyone else. She "gets" America, no one else does.

    I'd love to be able to travel from landmark to landmark in an RV, but who could afford that? How many "real Americans" could afford it? I am going on vacation this month--I'm renting a car for the weekend ($167), I have a gas credit card, so gas is covered, I'll be looking for cheap motels (under $50 a night), round trip it is about 700 miles. I'd invite poor Piper, but I'm sure driving around & sightseeing in the Flyover States, in a rented Kia Rio, wouldn't be fun or good enough for her.
