Sarah Palin's Bus Tour Treats Reporters Like Paparazzi

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.

 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.

A bust trip taken on money donated to her for political purpouses really shows what kind of class the whole sleezy Palin Clan has. And you fools that support the hunk of trash need to make an appointment with a shrink quick.

It is awsome that she is public now...it is time for those who were crucified by her to stand up and fight for the right to convict her! They got John Edwards - Sarah Palin is next and one cannot hide, burn or kill the truth so have fun with that...remember girl you cannot be something you are not...see you in court and tell your best friend I said SUE YOU!

It's only a story if the bus loses its brakes and hurts Donald Trump.

Yet the earlier commentors read and posted about what they don't care about. What is that saying about them?

Happy to see Palin went through NJ today. Welcome to NJ. Enjoy the rest of your trip. All of you naysayers should just keep your opinions to yourself. Go write about Obama on his news stories.

Why is this even getting media attention? This half-term governer is ignorant, narcissistic and petty. Alaska is glad to be rid of her. This is the LAST thing the United States needs...
