Sarah Palin cuts vacation short
Politico ^ | December 17, 2009 | Mike Allen

Posted on 12/18/2009 10:46:07 AM PST by CedarDave

Sarah Palin announced Thursday night that she ended a Hawaii vacation early because of the ruckus raised after she blacked out "McCain" on her sun visor in an effort to elude paparazzi.

~~snip~~

"Todd and I have since cut our vacation short because the incognito attempts didn't work and fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun. So much for trying to go incognito."

As much money as Sarah Palin has, she needs to go to more exclusive places.

"...she may not have meant it to look like she’s whining... it does, and that’s a good thing...

I'm willing to consider Palin. I'm also willing to listen to other options. That said, you are correct. It does sound as though Palin is whining. Not too sure that whining is a surefire way to lose it though. 0's been doing nothing but whining since he emerged on the national scene. That didn't seem to hurt him too much-then. But I think that it's part of why he's dropping like a rock in the polls now.

"She couldn’t buy a hat?"

She's a CONSERVATIVE. You don't throw away anything that still has good use. She blocked out McCain's name in an attempt for privacy.

I love Sarah Palin, and will vote for her, but she really should have bought a new sun visor.

Interesting that her concern was for other vacationers not for herself. How different is that from Obama, who wouldn't care how much other people are inconvenienced so long as he is having a good time.

On the other hand video of Todd and Gov Palin dancing on the beach would be much less likely to make me loose my lunch than did similar pictures of Bill and Cankles.

You are correct. It is a process, and the good news is that she is not allowing others to “manage” her life.

I think by crossing out McCain she drew more attention to the visor and herself.

Perhaps a hat from the hotel gift shop would have been less obvious.

I like her alot, but this seems needless and avoidable.

It would serve Sarah well to get to be a little paranoid, and to imagine HERSELF, what that silly campaign hat with McCain's name covered up with black permanent marker -- just what it would like pictured on the front page of the London Times.

Do they seriously believe that there is ANYWHERE where they can go and NOT be recognized??

I mean... did she seriously believe that no one would recognize her if she wore one of Todd's t-shirts and a large pair of goggle sunglasses?

That no one would instantaneously recognize Piper and Trig?

That's just silly.

Sarah’s getting famous for cutting and running..... Not a good thing to keep doing.

After her legal expenses and income tax, the amount of money she has is probably not that much.

DON'T BE SILLY.

It is not "conservative" to wear that stupid miserable hat -- look at how much money they lost having to cut short their vacation, because they were so foolhardy they failed to realize that they are big celebrities.

Conservatrive??????

A bestselling author who is one of the hottest people on the planet can't figure out that she is NOT going to be incognito on a public beach????????

This is simply preposterous.

Hopefully she was able to secure her copy of the birth certificate from her friend Governor Lingle.

Once that was done she could head out.

"She couldn't buy a hat ?"

She could have bought a straw hat and an outfit like the one below, put on a pair of sun glasses and ignored the media (or had a little fun with them - tell them you're going to the library to look for Obama's birth announcement.. just kidding) and ENJOY her vacation. She is beginning to show a tendency that is troubling.

Hmmm I see you recently joined FR... so your negative Palin comments I will take with a grain of salt since we regularly have Palin-trashing trolls here.

Well, if she can't afford a new sun hat, then she probably can't afford to go on a private cruise or to an exclusive resort.

Frankly, I'm surprised they thought they were safe on a public beach.

Hawaii was a bad choice.
Too many Obama operatives.

Maybe her statement was code for *I found the birth certificate*?? Well, I can hope.

I thought you were stuck on "silly." Say, maybe she's just not as savvy as a FR noob who seems to have it ALL figured out.

Perhaps she is not as aware of her importance as some of her adoring public are determined to annoint her with.
