>>>But ... you don't often see photos of her in front of a very expensive private plane she's been taking.” Correspondent David Wright then noted that Palin was traveling in style even as “her fans camped out in the bitter cold, just for the chance to meet her.”<<<

Wouldn't her fans be camped out in the cold a lot longer if she used slower means of transportation?

This is such a non story. It is normal for wealthy people and celebrities on book tours or other tours to take private jets. As long as my tax dollars aren't paying for it (like they do for all the wasteful travel by Congress) I don't care how she travels.

Funny how the MSM says nothing when “green” celebrities, take private jets all over the world, to speak out against global warming.

As she promotes her new book with an equally hyped down-home bus tour

The only people I've seen or heard "hyping" her bus tour are the typists typing articles about her plane travel.

Seriously, this is about the fiftieth article on this non-story. What a pathetic comment on today's journalism, as if another was needed.

This should make everyone smile. Try as they might to malign her, THEY GOT NOTHIN! THEY CAN’T FIND ANYTHING TO BASH HER ABOUT ON SUBSTANCE, POLICY, HER STAND ON SUBJECTS, BACK PEDALING, TAX EVADING, LYING, CHEATING OR ANYTHING ELSE!

With the amount of folks they have scouring every inch of every part of her life, the most they got is THIS?? and Levi Johnson??

Smile conservatives, the whites of their eyes are just about visible.......

Stepping off a charter jet does not negate populisric appeal. “Common folks” included.

You’re welcome.

Palin took the plane on Nov. 21, 23 and 25 between book tour stops in Rochester, N.Y., Roanoke, Va., Fort Bragg, N.C., Birmingham, Ala., and Orlando, Fla. On Nov. 25, she then flew to Pasco, Wash., for Thanksgiving and was met at the airport by a bevy of journalists who filmed the landing.

OK. Was she piloting the plane or not?

Er, because she gives the misleading impression of being on a "bus tour" (i.e. of acting like regular folks rather than part of the elite establishment).

Can you please point to some actual quote from Palin where she gives this "misleading impression?"

I mean, not a liberal saying she's done this, but an actual quote from Palin.

“...ABC’s Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer introduced a segment on Palin’s private-jet use by saying that Palin “frequently can be seen photographed in front of the bus that she took on the road. But ... you don’t often see photos of her in front of a very expensive private plane she’s been taking...”

DIANE SAWYER!!! If there was ever any doubt that she is as big a Leftist c**t as the Perky One this should remove any doubt.

The real story was the Obamas separate and much more expensive LARGE GOVT JET travel for their fruitless Olympic bidding but the major media could not cover that one.

Rogues, it seems, will be rogues: As she promotes her new book with an equally hyped down-home bus tour, former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor Sarah Palin has been jetting to some stops on a Gulfstream II private jet, which rents for $4,000 an hour

The publisher is probably paying for it. After all she's making them millions and millions of dollars.

When did she say it was a Bus tour? Sound like she’s smart enough to take the most efficient way of traveling. Guess only leftists can fly on private jets now? I love the smell of fear in the DNC.

Pray for America and Gov Paling

She didn’t go to the “right schools”.
She doesn’t have the “right friends”.
She’s not from the “right social strata”.
She doesn’t have the “right ideology”.

SHE SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO SUCCEED.

Good Lord, what she does with her own money is NO ONE’S business but her own. Absolutely ridiculous that this is considered news. Notice the media doesn’t even report on the 4 officers who were executed by a guy who should NEVER have been on the streets to begin with, but Sarah Palin on a plane, WOW that is big news
