Rumproast Gets Results! Sarah Palin Apologizes! You’re Welcome, America!

After today’s post, which has been linked to a zillion times on the innertubes, Rumproast is now more powerful than Sarah Palin:

As Mrs. Polly noted in the Rumper Room:

RR has triggered the first Palinpology in the history of history!

Tune in tomorrow for our thoughts on death panels, baby drilling and how sweat is incapable of being sanity.

p.s. “We are working on a solution for those who were left behind.” That’s right, “left behind.”  I’m on to you, Palin! Stop sending secret tongue-speakin’ messages!

UPDATE: Those lovable Freepers and JammieWearingFool (no link for you either!) were trying to prove that the booing was staged yesterday.  Here’s a commenter (and Sarah fan) at Conservatives4Palin who was there...

I wast at the Noblesville, Indiana event last night until about 9:30 or so.  I was one of the people who did not get to meet Sarah.  My wife and I stood in line for a long while.  There were about 300-400 people who had wristbands who did not gt to have Sarah sign their books also.

I don’t believe the event at the end was staged at all.  I was there with the same people for many hours and we all assumed we would get to meet Sarah.  There were a few very immature people there at the end.  One girl was ripping pages out of her booka nd throwing them in the air.  several others wanted to return their books to Borders.  The store had closed so some were not let in to do so.

Overall it was a great evening.  We did get to see Sarah as she welcomed the crowd as she initially arrived on her bus.  She spoke for 3-5 minutes tops.

There were about 2500-3000 people there in all.  there were 1000 bracelets passed out and each person with a bracelet was allowed to hvae a guest with them.

The scene at the very end was unfortunate.  it could hvae easily been dealt with in a more classy manner that is for sure.  For example, Sarah could have at least said thanks to all teh people who had waited like we did for hours in the cold and rain.  It would have taken 2-4 minutes at the most. It wold have been the right way to deal with it.  Just a quick than you to all the people who had waited all that time.

I understand that she had a schedule to keep.  That is how the deal works.  MOst people were not understanding about that.  At some point she just has to get on the bus and go to the next stop.  I get that.  Still, a thank you message to close it out takes a couple minutes and then allows people to feel like it was somwhoe worth the trip.  We drove 3 hours to see her and many others did the same.

She owed us nothing.  I understand that as well. Alot of folks left with a bad taste in their mouth and I am sure that is not what Sarah had in mind. I don’t for the life of me believe that was her desired outcome.

In her book, she talks a lot obout being handled on the campaign.  She talks how the campaign director and higer ups shut her down at every turn.

The way I figure it, she is ultimately in charge of every detail of the book signing tour.  The buck stops with her on this tour.  She can’t blame publishers or bookstores or security guys.  She is on her own now and she had a chance to do the right thing and send the people off with hospitality.  It is kind of a Hoosier-thing I guess, the Hoosier Hospitality.

And so while I understand timelines and schedules and bus tours, the problem needs to be fixed.  And that right soon.

(Via Kos and Indy Channel.)

Did you know?

“It took years for Alaska to achieve victory. As governor, I directed our attorney general to write an amicus brief in the case, and, thanks to Alaska’s able attorneys arguing in front of the highest court in the land, in 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the people,” Palin wrote. “Finally, Alaskans could recover some of their losses.”

Next edition of Sarah “Going Rogue”

Did you know that Sarah Palin brought down the Berlin Wall, and it was she who shot Hitler in the head. And rode up San Juan Hill with Teddy on her trusy moose.

Sarah wrote the Gettysburg Address and led George Washington across the Potomac in her rubber ducky.

Hmmm. Following Strange’s link I came upon this:

The U.S. Army said Friday it would open Sarah Palin’s appearance on Fort Bragg to media, a reversal from earlier in the week when the military wanted the event closed out of fears it would prompt political grandstanding against President Barack Obama.

And Palin will abandon the troops in 5…4…3…

(Nice of them to share the laffs but really, their original reason was bullshit. Unless something has changed of late a military base is full of people who can send your ass on its way if they don’t want you there. They could have just told her to Fo&D if they were concerned.)

That quote left Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore (herself a party to the lawsuit) singularly unimpressed (the whole article’s well worth a read):

When Sarah Palin was asked by Katie Couric what Supreme Court decisions other than Roe v Wade she disagreed with, she couldn’t think of one. NOT ONE!  Sarah squandered an opportunity-the perfect chance to tell America our story…an Alaskan story…dozens of suicides…thousands sick from clean up…tens of thousands bankrupt from a dead fishery.

Sarah Palin is to Alaska what Velveeta is to cheese; sadly unsatisfying and empty of nutrition. She had the national stage to plead Alaska’s case to citizens who had long forgotten the images of a once pristine Prince William Sound turned into a thick, black, rolling sea; the oiled sea otters and birds; unrecognizable seals and whales; an initially deformed and diseased herring run that became extinct-costing Cordova $100 million a year. Exxon exploited Alaska and turned pain into profit.

AND NOW, Palin is claiming to be part of a victory for the people of Alaska? Reality Deficit Disorder…now in book form.

For the record, this is the second time we’ve provided research services for Countdown.

I guess she’ll need to write another apology for the unpleasantness in Columbus.

As a contrite offering, let me link to these on-the-street interviews with Palin fans camped out for the Dublin, OH signing. Great fun.

Update: Link.

Considering that Noblesville is Klan Kountry, I think maybe Sarah’s erstwhile supporters should adopt a new anthem:
