Late Returns: New Palin Video Promotes Palin Bus Tour That Was Not Supposed To Be About Promoting Palin

Sarah Palin's PAC is up today with a three-minute movie promoting Sarah Palin's bus tour, which promoted a longer movie titled "The Undefeated" promoting Sarah Palin and her current activities -- which brings us back to this video. In it Palin walks around historical sites and poses for photographs as talking heads talk about that time she walked around historical sites and posed for photographs. Also, there is a bus.

I think the best thing about this video is that the musical score is just a slowed-down, contemplative version of "I Just Had Sex" by the Lonely Island (featuring Akon), and if you sing along, it can be quite enjoyable.

Gary Johnson says he's "very jaded" after being excluded from next week's GOP debate in New Hampshire. So if you were wondering what could make a guy who likes to climb mountains and run marathons feel jaded, now you know. [Politico]

Newt Gingrich says that his "campaign begins anew in Los Angeles." Just like NBC's "Law And Order" franchise! Commenters on his Facebook page range from supportive people who want to join his team and people who say "YOU'RE OLD NEWS!!!!!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (You have to use that many exclamation points to out-shout Newt supporter Zell Miller.) [Facebook]

Former GE CEO Jack Welch likes Tim Pawlenty, y'all! Welch: "He's not the jazziest guy in town. He's not the most exciting ..." Get to the good part! "But if you look at what he says and his vision for America and that plan he put out in the last 48 hours. Every time I see him on an interview, etc., the guy makes sense." Really? [Ben Smith]

Barack Obama's fake Democratic primary opponent Randall Terry has a commercial in which he starts off by biting Ben Quayle! (He goes on to say that Obama funds Islamic radicals and murders babies, etc.) [Gawker]

How about the media lets us know when Palin des somthing that is not shamless self promotion. THAT would be news worthy.

Next stop, the Alamo, where Ben Franklin flew his famous kite.

Then on to Rhode Island, the site of the famous but confusingly-named California gold rush.

And finally to Utah, to see the liberty bell which famously cracked when Paul Revere rang it too hard.

You forgot the stop in Illinois, where George Washington and Abraham Lincoln used to split rails together. The railroad would never have gotten across the prairie without all those rails they split.

And don't forget all the moose they shot together.

I'm sure she will be blaming her inappropriate actions on, as she calls it, 'the lame stream media.' Futher, she should expect a coming tweet to 'refudiate' the accurate accusation.

And "gotcha" questions like "What did you see in Boston and what will you take away from it?"

[michelesda]

What, with all that Revereware silver lying around? She was just trying to avoid saying what they would take away from it, in case somebody might decide to search the back of the bus.

Maybe, instead of "gotcha questions," we should refer to them as "got me" answers.

SP & Co. can stick it. I don't need anyone to "remind" me why I should love my country. You see, I love it for my own reasons, and her empty platitudes and slogans ain't among 'em.

Free market capitalism. She's making a ton of money off the rubes.
I commend her for seperating fools and money.

If you wanted to tour some historic locations and sites quietly, would you plaster your name on the side of a bus?? Oh, I missed the point that this isn't supposed to be quiet. Who is responsible for the song choice?

The irony is that Tina Fey would make a much better president than Sarah Palin.

[Fnordpocalypse]

why is that ironic? Tina Fey is smart and talented.

"The Undefeated" - For Sarah Palin?

THAT is funny.

Here's the final tally from the 2008 Election:
Obama / Biden - 69,456,897
McCain / Palin - 59,934,814

Some one needs to tell her how to keep score.

Did they play the Rocky theme music that she wanted on the Philadelphia stop?

She doesn't want to be president. Just the biggest con-artist in American history. But to those tr0lls who like to constantly say she lives "rent free" in the minds of "libs," I would say at least I never sent her any money.

Wonder who is footing the bill for the bus, SP, SarahPac or someone else?

[wolfmason]

Well, it must be some PAC, but I seriously don't get how that works...She's claimed she's not specifically "running" for something right now, so who on earth would want to just hand her wads of money for this little (reportedly non-political) Palin Family RV Vacation? Who does that benefit?

Has the very act of Promoting/Being Sarah Palin (who again, is NOT running for something) become a legitimate political cause? Useless...
