It was billed as a bus tour, but Sarah Palin's travels across the country to promote her new book have featured several flights on an expensive private jet, her publisher told ABC News.
The former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor, who sold off a private jet belonging to the state calling it "over the top," has been getting around the U.S. for her book tour aboard a Gulfstream 2 private jet – at a cost of $4,000 per hour....
"Sarah Palin, I think, genuinely is a hockey mom, but every so often, she gets caught up in something a little more glamorous than that," said ABC News consultant Cokie Roberts.
During the presidential campaign, Palin was heavily criticized for the fancy designer clothes that she wore. The Republican Party had paid for the clothing for Palin....

AWESOME!!!!!! She’s increasing her carbon footprint!
Wouldn’t expect anything else from ABC. Another hit piece.
huh. Three writers for this? Who cares how she travels? If the publisher and not the taxpayer is paying, who cares?
Oh No!
She didn’t always take a bus.
This is just unspeakable!
But San Fran Nan needs one on taxpayer dime and the MSM yawns.
Hey, ABC, you will have that when you are a private citizen. It is her business and none of mine.
Palin can’t go to the bathroom without some liberal media hitman peering over her shoulder. Never a word about Al Gore’s hypocrisy though, which is legendary.
This is so lame. Nancy Pelosi uses military jets to get her butt across country on our dime.
What’s the beef ABC?
She chooses to not spend the tax dollars of Alaska citizens while traveling as governor.
What she does with her own money as a private citizen is no one’s business.
Notice, that there is no mention of AlGore jetsetting across the globe in a private jet to promote global warming alarmism!
Hypocrites to the left, hypocrites to the right. Sarah they have you surrounded.
So what...she doesn’t believe in gorebal warming. What is she supposed to do? Take a covered wagon?
They HATE Sarah Palin.
She’s using a private plane. So what? No taxpayer is paying for it. Who cares that she’s using something WE DON’T PAY FOR!!
Meanwhile, Pelosi spends $2900 in tax payer money on FLOWERS and no lib bats an eye at it!!!
I so sick and tired of liberals!!!
Well she was in Richland, Washington yesterday and Tempe, Arizona today. Anyone who thinks she’s doing it all by bus is just fooling themselves.
Wow! It only took 3 ABC reporters and “news consultant” Cokie Roberts to uncover this growing scandal of Sarah Palin “jet-setting” around the country! Keep up the good work, ABC!
Wow, what a pathetic article.
I missed the part in the article about algore’s private jet.....
Oh my goodness!!! Palin's pumping money into the private sector???? I say hang her!!! How dare she!!!!
How is this even a story??? The libs ( both repub and demo libs ) are pulling out every stop to discredit this woman...and that is more than enough reason to support her.
