Oh no, Sarah Plain claims to be just regular folks but she takes private jets on her BIG FANCY BOOK TOUR! Sorry, this one isn't selling here. Isn't this the same stupid argument that someone like Michael Moore can no longer plausibly speak out for the interests of blue collar workers because he has money now? God, you grumpbusters at ABC just made me VAGUELY DEFEND Sarah Palin. Grrrrrr.

If someone offers you a ride, it's just goshdarned rude to turn 'em down. Especially if they were going by there anyways.
Yes, she claims to just be of the regular folks who believe in the American Dream of becoming so rich that a private jet is possible (and necessary) and no matter how impossible that may be to achieve the government shouldn't get in the way (TAXES!) of that possibility. So there really is no hypocrisy here. Michael Moore defends anti-capitalism communists who want us all to share the same pot of wealth thus assuring nobody ever gets rich enough to be able to take a private plane.
Um, the issue, Alex, is that Palin and her publicists/publisher went to some lengths to create the impression that she was traveling by bus to enhance her "just folks" image. If she wants to travel by plane, who gives a shit, but just say so.
'Zackly.
What the heck else are your supposed to do when all the reindeer are rented in the Hertz lot at ANC?
I wonder what she is shooting from it?
Best Selling "Author" Rides Expensive Plane
fixed.
Wait, they're giving rides to Stephenie Meyer now too?
If defending her leaves a bad taste in your mouth, please take a gander at the illustrations from a new (and very real!) picture book about how Sarah saves some adorable Real American rugrats from the nefarious black socialist usurper:

Just take a shot for every image of Ronald Reagan or the Statue of Liberty crying and call it an early day.
Hahaha oh yeah, it's called “Help! Mom! Radicals Are Ruining My Country!†Seriously.
Is that Chuck Schumer with the 'We (heart) Pork' button on his lapel?
Oi!
Dude the thing is she claimed to be taking her bus on the Road.
That is precisely the thing McCarthy left out: "HONK HONK vroom vroom CHOMP CHOMP" etc.
I bet it is nothing--or exactly!--like Soul Plane.
Key word combination here is "vaguely defend." For your lack of commitment, which is standard, and the fact that vague applies so perfectly to Palin.
I caught part of an interview with Suze Orman during a PBS fundraiser and when asked what luxury she can't live without, she said she will only fly private. I thought that was a gutsy admission, as my eye cream makes me blush!
Sarah “Plain�
The thing about this story that pisses me off the most is that (GMA) ABC 'snuck' this from Joe Mcguinness, who wrote this for The Daily Beast like 4 days ago.
