Over/under for quitting again before Memorial Day?

I can barely contain myzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

either starting or ending with the festivities at Rolling Thunder.

Um. I know logistics are beneath her consideration but she might want to make up her mind, sort of last monthish.

Hey, a grifter needs to get paid, you know?

Looks like she’s aiming for Sunday:

In spite of the celebrity profile that she has embraced since 2008, the unorthodox nature of the bus tour indicates that Palin recognizes that she would have to run a grass-roots campaign that removes some of her shine, in order to highlight her blue-collar persona.

Palin will do just that on the first day of her tour on Sunday when she participates in Rolling Thunder—an annual Memorial Day weekend motorcycle rally held in Washington, D.C. Participants at this year’s event will gather outside the Pentagon before parading down Constitution Avenue on their way to the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial.

Bus says “One Nation Under God” on the sides.

And “So long, suckers, and thanks for the bucks” underneath.

Where the hell’s Ken Kesey and Tom Wolfe when we need them?

Seriously. Fox should fire her today. And anyone who donates money to her current non-Presidential PAC from here on in should get a refund.

I was just gonna link to this story, but yet again I find myself trailing ... flailing ... ohhhh Sarah!

And anyone who donates money to her current non-Presidential PAC from here on in should get a refund.

Anyone who donates to her from here on in should get a free consultation with a psychiatrist.

I’m confused, was it Chruchill or Lincoln who did the bus tour after the battle ofmThermopolae(sp)?

Hey, she knows she’s gotta get get dirty now and hang out with some scum who make less than 10 mil a year.

According to aides who have traveled with her on past campaigns, Palin loathes fundraisers and many of the other necessities of life on the trail, but she relishes opportunities to interact with voters face-to-face. Palin’s retail politicking skills were indeed a key factor in her political rise in Alaska.

Oh sweet Jesus kicking a crippled child while slapping a leper across the face, but Sarah wants to mingle with the masses? Uh-huh, sure she does. I adore the C4P comments section. Palin only loathes having to actually appear at a fundraiser, she’d be more than happy if you fuckwhistles would just give her cash and leave her the fuck alone.

Now you know why she’s moving to AZ—much easier to commute back and forth to the bus on a private jet, like she did on her book tour.

The present record for announcing a campaign unannouncing/suspending campaigning, and re-announcing is 2, with several candidates claiming the title. (McCain ‘08, Perot ‘92 ex aequo.)

We may see a sole claimant of the new record…..

she relishes opportunities to interact with voters face-to-face.

Apparently she’s going to be going up the east coast. I may have to get out my camera and go nutpicking if she swings through the city of brotherly love while i’m there.

Over/under for quitting again before Memorial Day?

I think she’ll make it until mid-June or so, then quit and blame the “lamestream media” for blahblahblah…

Three more signs of the End of Days:

“Great Pawlenty Speeches” DVD, Chris Christie’s exercise videos, or a Sarah Palin listening tour.

The last time she did a “bus tour” her bus just had staff and she was flown around in Samaritan’s Purse’s plane by Franklin. Do you think that will happen this time? Especially since Franklin’s candidate, Trump, dropped.

Oh good lord.  She needs to get a grip and just go the fuck away already. 

Plus, that bus better be a ‘shop because otherwise, it’s a blight on humanity.

Not a ‘shop, unfortunately. The other pics at sarahfail.com are even worse.

Does this woman have no shame?

There’s a question that answers itself.

And the “WE THE PEOPLE” stamp over the Constitution is snark that snarkens itself, you betcha!

we were born the heirs of freedom

Where’s my Birthers at!

All I can think of right now is Bob Roberts

You haters just need to SHUT UP! Sarah is the answer to all America’s prayers and she’s gonna bomb ... I mean she’s the BOMB!

Stephen Bannon: Palin Biography “Will Go Off Like an Atomic Bomb in the Upcoming Republican Primary”

Our nation is at a critical turning point. As we look to the future, we are propelled by America’s past. It’s imperative that we connect with our founders, our patriots, our challenges and victories to clearly see our way forward. A good way to do this is to appreciate the significance of our nation’s historic sites, patriotic events and diverse cultures, which we’ll do in the coming weeks on our “One Nation” tour.

Someone left the word salad out in the rain. Am I the only one who reads “One Nation tour” and thinks “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein…”?

Patriotism. It’s the Other White Kitsch.

Could This Be the Magic at Last?

BTW, thanks for putting that in my head all afternoon. Bastard.

@Tom65—Sorry. Sometimes it feels like I’ve been alive forever here at the Copa, Mandy.

Jimmy had Billy
Bill had Roger
Bristol has Sarah

@Strange - it’s OK - you know I can’t smile without you.

I never realized until this very moment just how much you hate me.

You are both awful, rotten, horrid people. I’m just tryin’ to get the feeling back in my skull after repeatedly smashing it on the nearest hard surface. But looks like we made it to the end of the Manilow references, anyway. It’s a miracle!

It worries me at times that there are living human beings capable of forming thoughts like these. Then, I realized this is basically James Earl Jones’ “They’ll Come” speech from Field of Dreams:

The final reason she is going to win in a landslide and bring a whole new Senate and bigger House with her is the Tea Party. The Tea Party is the only group the people trust. The excitement and dynamic these crowds will generate will take this election to a level we have never seen. While the Tea Party energizes her campaign the revitalizing of the Founding Fathers’ Country by using their ideals, this Country can go back to its roots. Huge crowds will sway this election into another tsunami as her Skirttails reach down to the local elections like a granny dress and that is what terrifies both sides. We have a candidate who has that unique ability to speak and think at the same time which is a very powerful tool for a Country starving for a leader who tells the truth. She has charisma and charm so when she decides to take her army to the streets there will be a wave sweeping across this land as Lady Liberty raises her Torch exposing the darkness to return Freedom to America.

But looks like we made it to the end of the Manilow references

Hey, no sweat. That’s what friends are for.

Are you all tryin’ to get the feeling again?  Cause I think Sarah is ready to take a chance again.  She writes the songs, she writes the songs.

Needless to say, I am less than amused by the prospect of sharing air with this dipshit.

Up until now I really LIKED Rolling Thunder.

Ah, I see Mrs. Polly beat me to “Tryin’ to Get the Feeling Again.”  It is a miracle, indeed.  Bwah hah hah, etc.

Off to trade Steely Dan references with Scott Lemieux now.  I hear he’s mighty pissed to have been left off the Special Liberal mailing list.

Halp! Halp! The waters are rising and I’m caught in the Skirttails of Sarah’s granny dress!

She types the tweets that make the Teabags Schwing,
She types the tweets refudiatin’ things,
Her thoughts R just 140 keystrokes long,
She types the tweets, but not the songs

Her thoughts R just 140 keystrokes long,

Not Sarah, not Sarah-Todd.

@Michael Bérubé: Aw shucks! But he can comfort himself with the possibility that he might be on Glenn “I keep my enemies right in here, next to my Caipirinha recipe!” Greenwald’s list.

It’s not as Special, but it does come with perks, I hear, including refreshing grapey beverages.

read ‘em and weep, Libtards, Sarah has told us all and me specifically “I don’t want walk without you” and despite lying libs attempts to create a “Bermuda Triangle” Sara will “Make it through the rain” and we’ll be seeing her “somewhere down the road,” so SarahFans “Let’s hang on”.

FoxNews— “Campaign? What Campaign?”

Not Sarah, not Sarah-Todd.
The Demon Grizzly of Scottsdale.

So what if her followers flocked to the East,
Then home on their Hoverrounds thoroughly fleeced,
By Sarah, and Sarah’s Todd,
The Grisly Couple of Scottsdale.

“Granny Dress?” I can’t imagine Her Quitterness will appreciate that one.

And when she finally announces that ooops, she’s not running after all, her crushed fans will cry “You left me - just when I needed you most!” (And that is officially the most lachrymose seventies song I can think of—surpassing even “Seasons in the Sun.”)

By then they’ll be ready for some sweet Muskrat Looooooove, Afternoon Delight flavored, natch.

If she doesn’t run after all of this, it’s going to be the Funniest. Thing. Ever.

I thought “Rolling Thunder” described the post-prandial fate of the Quitbulls’ Moose Roast…........

Oblo, when I found out that “Seasons In The Sun” started out as a Jacques Brel song, it made me question whether anything should ever be translated into English.

But it was Rod McKuen who turned Brel’s sarcastic farewell to not only the world but his unfaithful wife and her lover into rhymed Velveeta.

Stupid ass.

Read ‘em and weep.

I thought Rolling Thunder was the biker meetup in Sturgis with the nude Ms Sturgis contest that old man McCain volunteered his wife for last time around.

She should combine the bus tour with that nitwit idea to pull off the highway with your lights on and just hang around.

@HTP, I am a big fan of Rolling Thunder as well. For her to insert herself into the middle of that—I was going to say it’s beyond crass but then I remembered who we are dealing with. Fortunately my family will be in a secure location in the Shenandoah Mts. with enough Foster’s Oilcans to a) last the weekend and b) build a survivalist compound out of the empties.

Here’s hoping the mighty roar of engines drowns out the chainsaw on rusty nail voice.

I assume she’s going to squawk about the fact she’s the mom of a vet (whom you never see but never mind) to justify horning in on an event dedicated to raising awareness about POWs/MIAs.

I mean, surely she wouldn’t use the fact that she ran for Veep with a POW to ... Nah.

She wouldn’t.

Would she?

@Tom65, Alan Rickman.  Yum. 

@aws, not getting off the boat.  This picture is enough Sarah-fail for me.
