    Thumbs up Palin Fucking With The Media

    Sarah Palin and her advisers are refusing to tell members of the media where she is going on her current bus tour - and the former Alaska governor seems to be enjoying the cat and mouse game that's resulted.


    "I don't think I owe anything to the mainstream media ... I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this, and that would include not necessarily telling them beforehand where every stop's going to be," she told fellow Fox News employee Greta Van Susteren in an interview from the bus.

    Yet the reemergence of the GOP's larger-than-life 2008 vice presidential candidate - who says she is strongly considering a run for president - is undeniably news. Which is why more than a dozen national news outlets have sent reporters and producers out to try and follow Palin.

    Since Palin and her team won't share where the potential candidate is headed, reporters and producers have little choice but to simply stay close to Palin's bus. This has resulted in scenes of the Palin bus tooling down the highway followed by a caravan of 10 or 15 vehicles all trying to make sure they don't lose sight of the Palin bus.

    It adds up to a dangerous situation, says CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.


    "I just hope to God that one of these young producers with a camera whose bosses are making them follow Sarah Palin as a potential Republican candidate don't get in a car crash, because this is dangerous," he said.


    Corsaro asked a member of Palin's team if he thought it was dangerous to have reporters forced to chase her from stop to stop. "You're the ones that are trailing us," he replied.

    Palin's representatives insist to reporters they have no idea where the candidate is heading next - though someone is presumably telling the bus driver where to go. (It's worth noting that on the current leg of the trip, at least, much of Palin's team is driving in an SUV that is actually in front of the bus.)

    Palin says she isn't offering advance notice for the trip because "we don't want to disrupt people on their trips and their vacations," which is somewhat hard to fathom. (An unannounced trip, which doesn't allow vacationers to plan for the disruption created by the potential candidate, her entourage and the press, would seem more disruptive than a scheduled trip.)

    ...and your considered opinion on this is what? A few childish GIFs (if that is what they are called)?

    Okay... I swear, this is about the funniest thing I have read in the past week! So, apparently, these mush-brain producers can't follow a bus without crashing their cars? What is up with that? Didn't they go to colleges and universities? Didn't they have to drive there? Didn't they have to follow behind some buses and trucks? What the hell?

    Dangerous? Hey... if it's THAT damn dangerous, maybe we should just get them off the roads? How about THAT idea? LMFAO...I am still cracking up over this... talk about a stretch... dangerous to follow the bus! That's a good one!
    :lmao:

    Oh, I think she's got some shit in store for them, if she decides to run. I don't think we'll see the ambush-style 'gotchya' moments this time, she will be much more prepared to deal with that. I love this, it's classic! Relegate them to incoherent whining about silliness like this... Good job Sarah!

    You are serious? Palin is a moron.

    I bet she knows how many states there are, and that Memorial Day commemorates DEAD Veterans.

    I'd be really careful about who I call a moron, shit-for-brains.

    Bet she doesn't realise that because they are dead they probably don't have an opinion about their president playing golf!

    I'll bet she realizes, that vets who are living, think a president who golfs and gads about the globe while his military fights on 3 battlefields; his nations economy suffers; and his countrymen are devastated by tornado's- is an arrogant and clueless incompetent leader.

    That rules. Seriously, she's got a media entourage and she hasn't even declared a candidacy. Jeebus. Trump is wishing he had thought of this right now.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Remind me again of how many days per year the bush baby was 'tending' his ranch. Let me help you, if I may. It was 250 days in the first three years of his presidency. Or


    27% of his presidency!

    She also knows that "the vice president runs the senate". You are a moron too.
