Sarah Palin is signing books today at a Walmart near Wausau, Wisconsin. There’s a big religious-music-in-schools controversy there, so it makes sense that the former Alaska governor would stop by to promote her book about “protecting the heart of Christmas.”

It’s no surprise, too, that Palin – with the help of Walmart – would keep reporters at a distance.

Wausau Daily Herald reporter Theresa Clift, who is covering the Palin event, tweeted at 10 a.m. CT this morning: “About 8 media members and myself now locked in back room. We aren’t allowed to talk to guests here to see Palin.”

An hour later she posted: “All media will be escorted off the property after we get five minutes seeing Palin, we are told.”

1. Why would the media even show up for a Palin book tour?

Aren't there any car crashes or open sewer pipes they could gawk at?

13. It doesn't make sense, unless the media is really not liberal!

Rush Limburger has been lying about the liberal media. . .

16. Gasp, you're proven there is no liberal media!

Sadly, it has been proven every day for 20+ years.

14. You'd think they would have heeded the warnings...

15. "...by ringing those bells and making sure, as he’s riding his horse through town, to send those

warning shots and bells that we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free.” - Sarah Palin on how Paul Revere warned the British not to take away our 2nd Amendment rights.

3. Republicon OCCULTISM. As usual.

The Repubbies have so much to hide.

[A HERETIC I AM]

4. Palin doesn't have anything to hide.

Her problem is she has too much to show, all of it stupid, and they want to keep the showing to a minimum.

5. False imprisonment?

In fact, any person who intentionally restricts another's freedom of movement without their consent (and without legal justification) may be liable for false imprisonment, which is both a crime and a civil wrong. It can occur in a room, on the streets, or even in a moving vehicle—just as long as the subject is unable to move freely, against his or her will.

Both are tacky, all surface, no substance!
