Dontcha’ know, Sarah Palin is coming to town this weekend, and you may see her cruising the streets of D.C. on the back of a hog.
The former Alaska governor, who is the subject of a lot of overheated speculation about whether she will run for president in 2012, has accepted an invitation to participate in the annual Rolling Thunder memorial ride this Sunday, an official says.
“As far as I know, she is trying to rent a motorcycle, so she can ride with her husband,” said Nancy Regg, a spokeswoman for Rolling Thunder.
Gregg says the tentative plan is for Palin to join up with the ride at the Pentagon at 7 a.m. The ride kicks off at noon, and hundreds of bikers will snake through D.C. to the event’s main stage, which will be between the Reflecting Pool and the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the Mall. The program is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m.
Gregg said Palin is currently not scheduled to speak at the event and watchers should not expect any type of “political statement” from Palin during Rolling Thunder.

Forgive me, but this makes Madam President even hotter.
Hundreds of motorcycles? Seems more like thousands to me. Anyone who has a chance to attend rolling thunder should take it. There’s nothing like seeing the silence and respect of the crowd as the veterans ride.
Can’t wait to see that picture, a good counter to the Puttie boy Putin photo of him on a a bike(was it a harley?).
Bigtime.
I saw a large group this AM on the way to work. They owned the whole road of a three lane freeway for the length of their convoy. No cars intermixed. Not sure if it was a funeral procession or not, but they were given the respect as if it were.
I would think she could find a Harley dealer that would love to loan her a Harley for the ride. It would be great publicity for the Dealer and the bike would sell!
She should buy one and then auction it off for charity.
Sarah? Na, she'll be driving!
Juxtapose that with the pic of Bambi on the bicycle...
Palin’s secret is not really a secret. It’s her thoughts and ability to express them:
“We’ll celebrate the good things that bring Americans together; those things that will give us the needed strength to meet the heady challenges ahead. I’ve said many times that America doesn’t need a ‘fundamental transformation,’ instead we need a restoration of all that is good and strong and free in America! So, together let’s prepare ourselves for the days ahead by reminding ourselves who we are and what Americans stand for.”
Are you telling me that there isn't one single patriot in the D.C. area willing to loan Sarah a bike?
Sounds like an endorsement!! The question should be:
“How could she properly decline?”
I won't vote for her in the primary, but I don't think she's going to win the nom anyway.
I know she has an ardent following, but I think time will tell if that can translate to real primary victories. Primaries are rough and bloody, occasionally worse than the general election.
my first thought too
I’m sure there will be now that the need is known.
Go Sarah!!
Style points goes to Sarah!
