Report: Sarah Palin quits bus tour halfway through, retreats to Alaska

please link to a reputable site where Palin is quoted calling the tour a vacation.

1.) It's a bus that's bringing her and her family around the country to check out national monuments. She also hasn't handed out any information to the press as to where they are going so that this "tour" can receive the most publicity possible, which is what a normal "tour" would be doing.

2.) I don't believe Palin has called it a vacation, I think her youngest daughter might have at one point said something along the lines of "thanks for ruining our vacation" to a journalist. Honestly I could care less what they call it. I just feel bad for the saps that are donating to her pac and honestly are expecting her to run, lol.

3.) Fox news has called it a vacation. If everyone calling it a vacation is partisan and hates Sarah palin then please call them out for their mouth foaming hatred while your in the middle of it. You would think as her employer they would know that it's not a vacation, just a big bus carrying the family around the country to historical sites.

"This isn't a campaign bus, this is a bus to be able to express to America how much we appreciate our foundation," Palin said after heading toward the bus carrying her family to famous historical sites on their summer vacation.

I'm guessing if Fox said it that means it's fact...
 
One more time and I'll type real slow this time.

what am I supposed to call it so as not to appear partisan?

(slow enough for you?)

I'm not talking about your obvious partisan hackery right now. I am talking about the claims YOU made, stating that Palin herself called this a vacation. About the link YOU posted, showing VACATION (bolded by YOU) as a reason to be excused from jury duty.

I asked you to prove it, you have not. Most likely because you cannot.

Can you prove it, or not? If not, then the proper thing to do would be to admit you cannot prove it. Of course, I don't really expect you will do so.


Now, as for the best thign to call it to not appear like a partisan hack? How about 'bus tour'? Nice, non-descript, non-partisan hackery term.
 
Whether it is a vacation or not is just a stupid argument. What would be said if Sarah Palin had skipped jury duty? I'm sure it would have been every bit as partisan as the attacks in this thread.

Skipping it is not good they can send the constables after you. Being excused in light of previous plans is perfectly fine.

You did not answer my question from the post you first responded to. What am I supposed to call it so as to not appear partisan?

You first.

Look at who your talking to. Anything less than a glazed over look on your face with a big goofy smile at the mere mention of Sarah Palin is a communist plot and turns you into an evil, evil partisan liberal.

But I do think you were wrong when you said Palin called it a vacation. i can't find anywhere where she said that.
 
all you gotta do is mention Palin's name and dems stretch their neck, **** their head to one side and perk up their ears just like a dog trying hear whats on the other side of a closed door

Meh maybe I was wrong. I do think it would qualify as a vacation to postpone jury duty though.

Actually, I just like ****ing with the haters. Iv'e said dozens of times she isn't qualified to be President, and would not win if she ran. So, a nice big heap of FAIL for Rough...
 
you know what - now that I think about it:

If she's on 'vacation' then how could she even know she was called to jury duty? That seems odd - vacation is to get away from the mail and everything else. If Jury Duty is a random-selection adn notification process then how'd they get ahold of her?

If I'm 1/2 way across the country on a family vacation and I'm dropped a notice of duty I won't be able ot respond because i'm *1/2 way across the country* and I'd have extensive proof.

That whole thing sounds ridiculously bizarre to me - what did they do, leave a message on her twitter account.
 
Re: Palin Bus Tour Takes Extended Pit Stop

Jury duty is the most boring **** ever and really reinforces just how stupid our legal system is.
 
Re: Palin Bus Tour Takes Extended Pit Stop

I'm still trying to figure out how Palin going back for jury duty speaks badly of her.

Yea, they do have etc. on the list and I'm quite sure if vacation counts as a reason they would understand "nation wide bus tour" or whatever you want to call it.

Fox news hates Sarah Palin?

Very little would be said I suspect. After all, how many people of this status do we see on jury duty? And I will be surprised if she actually serves. but, we can wait to what happens there now that she's drawn attention to it. :coffeepap

I don't think you are being honest with yourself. Everything she does is highly criticized. For crying out loud, if she uses non-dairy creamer in her coffee, you'd see a five hour special on MSNBC about how she hates Wisconsin.

You know what - I've never met someone who is just a stay at home mom or something run of the mill like that who went for jury duty - everyone I've know has been teachers, politicians (like my town's mayor) etc. . . interesting.

Actually I was in a jury pool once with the CEO of Centex Corp. He tried to get off.
