Subscribe to RSSSarah Palin and her family rolled up to historic Mount Vernon this morning to tour George Washington's mansion. Palin got the VIP treatment, as she was whisked in through a back entrance and walking the grounds with a VIP tour guide.
As she, her parents, Todd, Bristol, Willow, Piper, and staffers made their way through the grounds, other tourists gaped at the family and took pictures. Palin shook hands and laughed. At one point, NBC News asked her if she was being encouraged to run by the people she's met. Palin responded, "We're being encouraged to keep spreading the message."
Around 11:30 am ET, the family walked up to George Washington's home to speak with people in period costume and take pictures with other visitors before touring the inside of the home.
Only snippets of Palin's conversation could be heard while on the mansion grounds like, "Medicare" and "We love you."
The family went from the house to Washington's tomb, and then they boarded their bus to get back on the road.
Melissa Wood, media relations manager at Mount Vernon said she was never contacted directly by the Palin organization. She was told by another staff member on Sunday afternoon that the former vice presidential nominee could show up around 11:00 am and made a plan on how to wrangle the media based on relatively little information.
The family's next stop, reportedly, is at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, followed by Gettysburg.

There's no doubt Bible Spice took a 'dump' this morning also, too, you betcha! *wink wink*
Where's the story on that?
Instead elevating this piece of white trash & her broods 'celebrity'...
How about a thread on the Presidents visit to Joplin, MO yesterday?
OR the wreath laying ceremony this morning at The Tomb of the Unknown Solider?
Nope! Just more on the train known known aka Palin!!!
*oops - correction*
Should read: Just MORE of the train WRECK aka Palin!
Happy Memorial Day Feisty,
While there are many that think the Liberals hate or fear Ms. Palin the real story is that Liberals, many Independents and even some Conservatives wonder just how so many people could cheer her on and want her to run for President when she has proven to be woefully uninformed on the real problems we face.
She is very good at spouting the "red meet" talk that divides this country but does not offer any ideas that will actually unite us. In fact she does more to divide the Conservatives while she unites the Liberals – like Ryan and a half-dozen Teapublican Governors weren't doing a good job of that already.
And a Happy Memorial Day to you Dennis!
I am sick and tired of the conservatives claim that liberals are afraid of Palin...
What terrifies me, is there are actual people out there who BELIEVE she's competent to be POTUS!
Am I suppose to care about her and her families daily activities and trips? I don't think so. This is stupid to have the press print everything they do on the net and in the papers.
This is pointless and meaningless journalism imo.
Yea. We get it. All 3 of you are United. thats right just the 3 of you.................

Yes Bible Spice didn't get on a hit on her dump GF; but the lame stream media got this.
That phony a@@ Sarah Palin couldn’t speak directly from her heart to the veteran bikers so she spoke from her hand, AGAIN!!!
http://www.oliverwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/palin-hand-note-rolling-thunder.jpg
WTF she says the same thing all the time she should be able to remember that. You ‘d think.
Repeal Obamacre
Take our country back
Socialism
Death Panels
Oh My Freakin Gawd!!!! What a selfish dim-wit. Memioral Day is all about Sarah instead of the brave men who allowed her dumb a@@ to ride on rented motor cycles and write crib notes on her hand. The Lamestream Media came out to see her. But, will they flock to her after she announces she’s not running and FOX fires her? She ‘ll have to go back to sling salmon. Will the media flock to her then?
I wonder.
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
Instead elevating this piece of white trash & her broods 'celebrity'...
How about a thread on the Presidents visit to Joplin, MO yesterday?
Feisty
The idiots over @ the info entertainment center aka FOX NOISE thought this news worthy in their usual we decide you comply fashison.
Is Obama Chewing Gum at Joplin Memorial Service?
Earlier today President Obama spoke at a memorial service in Joplin, MO honoring those who lost their lives to the destructive tornado that stuck the region last week. Seen at the last seconds of this video clip it appears as though President Obama was chewing gum. What do you think?
http://nation.foxnews.com/president-obama/2011/05/29/obama-chewing-gum-joplin-memorial-service
BTW: FOX NOOSE is scary it's typical viewers to death obama accomplishments of old men white people: pro-business (86 percent), Christian conservative (78 percent), Tea Party-backer (75 percent) with no college degree (66 percent), who is over age 50 (65 percent), supports the NRA (73 percent), doesn’t back gay rights (78 percent) and thinks government “does too much” (84 percent).
Hiya GF! Hope your weekend was as good as mine! Real scorcher here today! YUCK!
Regarding the gum chewing, further proof these right wing nimrods have some pretty screwed up priorities.... lol
Seriously - WHO the f**k cares other than the Obama haters?
The only "Reason the Black RACIST woman Beverly from Chicago Hates Sarah Palin is because She is White
Beverly you clearly are a Racist. do yourself a Favor and quit Posting Your RACIST comments
Please Insult Me!
Kreepy-Krawler

Trollin, trollin, trollin...
;)
Steve, you're calling Beverly a racist after all the crap that we have seen on this board since the president was elected? Do you see what he is called here?
Do you ever stand up to people in your party here when they say these things?
Beverly is fighting back and I don't blame her one damn bit. Isn't it a pity that she has to in this the 21st Century?
The GOP. They would be out and out laughable if they weren't so pathetic. Doesn't look like the color of President Obama's skin bothered anyone in Ireland or Poland or England.
Stuff like that is reserved for here in America. The home of big mouth no clue idiots, who don't give a damn about America or its citizens.
The GOP is not going to win in 2012. They don't know how to govern. They only know how to destroy.
Everything they touch.
We have a very bright president. Something the entire world recognizes.
Deal with it.
Pat
Even after all you have Said. It still doesnt Change the Fact the the Black RACIST woman BEVERLY from Chicago. is still a SCUM BAG RACIST.. facts are fact and the RACIST BLACK WOMAN beverly should just keep her RACIST mouth shut when it comes to White women..
and i Stand up to Racism wherever i see it whenever i see it. UNLIKE YOU THAT CONTINUES TO stand up for this Racist Scum Beverly. You continue to Defend her RACIST MOUTH. and that makes you a SCUM RACIST
PAT BOSTON MA---Because of my color I feel I can respond, Yes Poland ,Ireland ,England,How many men or women of color do they have as the head of their countries? I found it INSULTING when in 2007 Sarkozy said America is obligated to vote in a black President. How many black Preidents has france had.
I'm just saying watch out when you start throwing around the all white Europe at me.
As far as Palin goes why don't we IGNORE HER? Maybe she will go away .Let her make her rounds, make her money, then she and Todd can retire alone in AK or AZ. She wont ever be President.
Yes I agree, If anyone is a racist, it's old Stevie Boy. Also I would like to add that millions of Americans don't like Palin and they would never vote for her.
So bring it on.
Let the circus begin. Let the media circus begin. Palin managed to co-opt the Memorial Day weekend observance with her antics.
I have been saying for more than a year now that Palin is not running for president. Leave aside her thin skin, her sarcasm, her inability to speak outside of her Fox News-Twitter-Facebook comfort zone and her obvious lack of a campaign apparatus. Palin is making too much money and having too much fun being a star to give all that up for the accountability, scrutiny and responsibility for running for the highest office in the land. And why should she? She’s awfully good at it.”
Better at marketing herself than Trump. She is a modern day PT Barnum.
It's amazing to know of adults having erotic-induced worshipping of this Alaskan Screech Owl! :-(
Palin-twit for POTUS? Funny, funny, funneeeeeee....! :-)
I'm exhausted with Palin, what is Pee Wee Herman doing, whats up with Charlie Sheen, what about Lindsey Lohan, anybody heard from Mel Gibson, lets get to something important. I'm done with Palin for awhile.
Please FR, did you hear him? Please, no more.
Please Insult Me!
They know you libs will flock to any story mentioning her. And everytime you do their advertising revenue increases.
You guys are sooooooo gullible. lol
...........................................
...and by you posting here you've just thrown your money in the MSNBC pot. Thx.
...and yeah, she really does look hot in leather and sunglasses. Bet you got a poster of her on your wall.
They know you libs will flock to any story mentioning her.
Please Insult Me...is an obvious fanboy of the Alaskan Screech Owl. Undoubtably having morbid & erotic dreams of the married, brainless & slutty flight attendant.
Pathetic...!!
security had its hands full with the "tens of people" who clamored to see the Circus!
glen beck called in and with doctored aerial photos estimated the crowd at 1-1.5 million!
b dune...that's funny. Did you read this story how her people did not give much notice that the media darling sister Palin and brood would be paying them a visit? Talk about selfish and unprofessional. You take the time and money to do up this big, bright, attention grabbing, campaign promotional bus and will not even have the courtesy to warn facilities in advance to properly prepare for your arrival. And you can betcha she'll be the first the tweet if someone says something negative about her flamboyant USA bus tour. Yep that MSM that she's playing for stupid cause they want to be the first to get the story. Already got CNN doing hours of analysis about her potential Presidential run. GIVE ME A BREAK!! She's been lying for over two years already. When will this end!!! Can't wait till the republican kingmakers turn on her again cause they know she's making it difficult for their real candidates.
I suspect tomorrow "The Big Bus" will intentionally get involved in a "fender-bender" on a major expressway....
Then spin it into "Palin Supporters Stop Traffic during Rush Hour"!
I see more generals have deserted Ghaddafi.
Feisty, President Obama's trip to Missouri yesterday was quite moving.
But Presidents don't matter evidently. It's all about the next election with the media.
Anyway, I was happy to see the reception President Obama received yesterday. Those people have been through hell.
FRead is beginning to get a "reputation" around the blogsophere as far as the racist comments here directed at the President from commentors.
It's a shame. But that's who Palin supporters are by and large. They're looking for a real American as their next president. Reading skills not required. Or intelligence.
Keep an eye on Libya everybody. Something's gonna give soon it appears.
You won't find Sarah Palin anywhere near places like Joplin or Tuscaloosa, and it is probably for the best, because even though that part of Mo. votes almost exclusively Republican the people in Joplin don't want to hear her standard snarky old real Americans don't want big government handouts and socialism, real Americans pull themselves up by their own bootstraps speech right now. There is nothing but heartbreaking, and nasty work to be done in Joplin right now, nothing that Sarah Palin (or Bachmann) can address with her silly phrases and bumper sticker logic.
Reading these posts is fascinating. I feel like a scientist looking at bugs in a petry dish. I am studying the desease Palindetestation. We are pretty sure it grew out of the leftover bacteria from the dementia causing bushhatred which luckily has waned considerably in the last 3 years, restoring some sufferers to sanity and equilibrium but not all. Sufferers of both conditions lose the ability to think rationally when the words bush, palin, gop, conservative or right wing are spoken, heard or read. The best course of action is to try to convince the sufferer to step away from the computer and tv for awhile so they can realize their obsession is detrimental to themselves and they are wasting a lot of energy because no one in the world really cares about their opinion.
Good post, but who cares?, what difference does it really make?, you are probably just wasting your time. And we fascinate you? Ha, you tickle me Maryann.
Today our family went to visit Grandpa in his cozy room at the local nursing home. He is a veteran of the "Crusade In The Pacific" Grandpa was very upset seeing Palin on TV News so much, and decribed her as invertly evil at heart. We asked Grandpa why he thought this? He then explained that every morning the Japanese would broadcast lies about America before a major battle. Grandpa went on to explain how the Japanese would try to pit one group of Americans against another. They would try to feed on the fears of others, and try to exploit their weaknesses. Like the Japanese did during WWII. Grandpa felt that Palin is now doing the exact samething! He went on to explain Palin as a teasonous divider of the people, and as a very sick individual. Grandpa feels that evil may take many forms in life. Even when it is winking at you to make poltical points. Grandpa compared Palin to the "Ms. Rose" of the Japanese air waves during the war. The American Soldiers ignored her crap, and remained focus on destroying the evil of the Japanese Empire. He was convinced that it is wise to get in Palin/s face poltically, and on all other issues. Grandpa strongly felt that if her type of evil is not put out. Then she would be allowed to destroy anything she does not like on any given day. My Grandpa looked into the eyes of death, evil, and madness with a brave heart. It was a very informative visit, and a poltical warning for us to think about America very quickly.
Progressive, please thank your grandpa for me for his service to our country. He is one person that would recognize divisiveness when he hears it and he recognizes it with sister Sarah. Many a dems heard it on her campaign trail with McCain and saw it as she rilled up the crowds. We saw them show their disdain for then Mr. Obama threw their hateful signs. We saw many dems pleading with republican congress members to tell their constituents to tone it down, but they would not cause these people could be their potential voters. So now she's back with the same rhetoric as she takes nasty digs at our President on her so called history tour. She is the worst thing that John McCane was recommended in his bid for the Presidency. I do hope the people will finally tune her out and end this hatefest for the good of our country.
My 91 year old father is a WWII veteran. He was highly offended by Palin's shameless co-opting of Memorial Day to try to garner media attention for herself. He voted for McCain, but he's done with Palin.
For a woman who complains so much about the media, seems to me she's got them eating out of her hand. They will apparently follow her anywhere and hang on her every word. I suspect that fascination will continue whether she runs for President or not.
kak1958...it's really pitiful on their part too. The media wants to be the first to get the story of her supposedly entry in the Presidential race. She's been stringing them on with that question for over two years, yet they think she will finally answer with the truth....not! Sister Sarah knows where her bread is buttered and it's this media dog and pony show. She can continue to go around and poke digs at the President and split the republican party. She's pitiful when we have such real issues that need to be addressed.
Sarah Palin is not a real American, she's a money hungry attention getter with her pocket book open for free monies and contributions. She is not going to run for the presidency, and all she's doing is sucking the air out of the sails of other well intentioned contenders. There should be no confusion due the fact that Palin is not telling any of the major news outlets her itinerary and only telling FOX. ABC, CBS, NBC and other outlets should not cover her at all and see how long that lasts. She is a news freak and her candidacy would shrivel up and die for sure.
I'm still tryin' to figure out how she's even worth $75-$100k a pop for an unintelligent speaking fee to the paying fools, when they can listen to Palin-twit's same shrill gibberish on Faux News!? Beyond the neo- nuts/'bagger's talking points & bumper-sticker BS, she has nuthin' of value!
"One never knows, does one?" :-)
