Sarah Palin Bus Tour Appears To Take Truncated Route

Where is Sarah Palin?

The former Alaska governor embarked on a bus tour of the eastern United States last month, kicking off the trip Memorial Day weekend in the nation's capital. While Palin initially remained mum on where her travels would take her, her tentative itinerary reportedly included stops in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Iowa.

Real Clear Politics reports:

Though Palin and her staff never announced a timeline for the remaining legs of her trip, aides had drafted preliminary itineraries that would have taken her through the Midwest and Southeast at some point this month. But those travel blueprints are now in limbo, RCP has learned, as Palin and her family have reverted to the friendly confines of summertime Alaska, where the skies are currently alight for over 19 hours a day and the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season is nearing its peak.

Earlier this month, Palin regarded her time on the road as "one of the best weeks" of her life in a web video released by her political action committee highlighting stops from the first week of her trip.

"Our family has been blessed with an opportunity to showcase all that is good and strong and free about our exceptional nation," said Palin in a statement released in conjunction with the clip. "Even though the media too often sadly chose sound-bites over substance, they did get lots of substance during our 'One Nation' tour from the nearly two dozen opportunities I got to speak candidly with them and talk about policy, politics, history, and everything in between. More importantly, I got to talk with countless everyday Americans who want to get our country back on the right track."

I think the Paul Revere gaffe thingy was too much for her.. She is 100% embarrassed and is lying low 'til it passes over. Or else the Republican leaders TOLD her to get outta the limelight now. If you ain't running for President, then you just jerking us around like ijiots, so it's either or either they musta' told her.

Are you kidding? She doesn't have the grace or class to be embarassed.
This jury duty excuse reminds me of the times I've been called - and then dismissed. Hardly anyone gets picked to actually BE on a jury. Plus (in my state, anyway), there is the option of deferral.
I think the Palin got tired and wanted to go fishin'.

She probably wasn't getting enough attention. She only does stuff if the cameras are watching...I thought it was over a couple weeks ago

Maybe she ran out of ways to further embarrass the Republican party. It seems to be the only thing she's really good at.

"More importantly, I got to talk with countless everyday Americans who want to get our country back on the right track."

If back on the right track means shrinking the wealth/racial gap, reforming our education and gaining back the respect for our educators, strenghtening the labor force and our middle class (among other things), then I am one of those Americans. If not, she can go.... herself.

She wants those things too, but doesn't understand how to get those things.

She takes a bus tour to avoid ending up like Curtis.

On the upside, this will cut pollution (air, sound, media)!

Maybe the McCains deflated those bus tires after, reading Bristol's book I think they are starting to bite the hands that are feeding them, Or maybe anger some of the people who gave them the spotlight and enabled them to make the millions they have. Palins are loyal to no one I mean no one.

They're loyal to themselves and whomever is paying them at the present time.

Frank Bailey proved that in his book Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin. He can back up everything he says and it is a good read. Shows you even more how scheming the Palins really are.
