Palin snarls at press when asked who is paying for the road show.
At the Statue of Liberty today, ABC News asked the former Alaska governor how much her tour has cost so far and how she's paying for it.

"How am I paying for it? SarahPAC," she said, adding that she's traveling in "our own personal motor home that we've had in Alaska."

Palin didn't answer when asked how long she's owned the bus that's adorned with the Constitution and a larger-than-life version of her signature. When asked, twice, how much her "One Nation Tour" has cost four days into the trip, she got visibly irritated.

"Check SarahPAC.com," she said. "I don't know why in the world you would ask a question like that. I'm just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities. Why would you ask something ..."

ABC News pointed out that she often talks about the economy and how much money we're spending.

"What does our economy have to do with how much we're -- I'm not asking you to pay for a penny of this trip," she said.

6. Dear God the commenters are deluded:
Donation coming your way TODAY, Sarah!
Keep on "keepin' on!"

Love it when you "go rogue" and tell the Lame Stream Media to go to Helen Waite!

Palin - West 2012!

8. Here's a lame question (husband sez' I need to get a life and quit bringing up "her" name):
Where do people park these behemoths in a major city at night? Have seen one in the local Walmart parking lot very early in the a.m., so am guessing it may have spent the night, so does the Palin family find a local shopping center or what? And do you suppose Sarah goes to the dump station to unload the shit, etc.?

'Nuther dumb observation: seeing Sarah and the Donald eating pizza, sure looked like the Trumpster had never eaten a piece of pie before; appeared he was trying to cut the toppings off - weird.

18. Probably some scums kind of like the Koch Roach brothers
allow her to park it outside their mansions for the night.

12. So she's on SarahPAC business?
Does she have to submit receipts? Do they even have an accountant keeping track of the expenses?

This is starting to look less and less like a "family vacation".

14. Oops! Didn't she realize some of the press wouldn't be FOX minions?
She's going to get a lot more irritated in teh days to come. This is just her, what, second or third day on the tour?

The Donald eating pizza with a fork and in a suit was precious. He looks like such a regular guy doesn't he? Two millionaires pretending to be your everyday American teabaggers. LOL!

21. What. The. F?
"I'm just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities." OMG, it's Reagan all over again. I will never, as long as I live, forget his, "What would America be without this great country of ours?" line. The Mouth Breathers and PRESS couldn't stand up fast enough or applaud long enough. I'm sitting there thinking, :wtf:
