Palin Bus & Entourage speeding, running lights & stop signs, nearly hit a biker
Edited on Fri Jun-03-11 05:43 PM by RamboLiberal
Sarah Palin’s bus is plastered with a mock-up of the U.S. Constitution. But her entourage — both the three-vehicle motorcade that includes the bus and the smaller, two-SUV version she uses for smaller events — hasn’t been very respectful of traffic laws.

They speed. They run red lights and stop signs. They make last-second lane changes to get off the highway, sometimes without signaling.

-----

As they left the clambake she attended Thursday in New Hampshire, Palin’s two-SUV caravan traveled at 52 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone as it peeled away from the hosts’ neighborhood. Both cars blew through a stop sign about a mile later. They did 70 mph in a 55 mph zone on I-95 — and then, after they got off, without signaling, flew right past a flashing sign informing them they were going 45 mph in a 35 mph zone.

-----


On Tuesday, the bus nearly hit a biker turning off of Pine Street in Philadelphia.

On Wednesday, after a police escort led the bus through a closed section of the Lincoln Tunnel, the bus ran at least two red lights racing up Sixth Avenue and through Columbus Circle in Midtown Manhattan. Before long, a cop pulled up, pointing out to the first reporter trailing the bus how many lights they were running. The reporter apologized — but begged to stick with the bus. The perplexed cop let him go.

She's restorating America, so leave her alone!

2. Palin 'caught on video' saying she's 'OUT ON THE TRAIL'

Vacation 'trail'? No, that wouldn't make sense.
Campaign 'trail'? I report, you decide :)

4. It's the perfect metaphor of how conservatives operate.
Bush ran every red light in his path during his presidency. Then Cheney ran over to the FBI to see if he could change the way the lights operated. Together they drove through a makeshift land absent of road rules.

Palin's no different. The conservative mantra is one which ignores the rules of the game, in order to grab whatever they could ordinarily not get by any other means.

I didn't say that very well. And it's not generally accurate. But I had to try and say what I see.
