This is just rude.

 

From Reuters:

Palin was a no-show for supporters, celebrity-watchers and media waiting hours for her at the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg on Monday, but her tour bus reportedly was spotted at a nearby hotel, making it likely she would appear in public Tuesday.

Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, is on a tour of historic sites on the East Coast -- fueling speculation she might be testing the waters for a run at the presidency in 2012.

But the former Alaska governor isn't advising the media of her itinerary, leaving supporters as well as reporters guessing where she will appear next.

Several hundred people gathered on a hot, sunny day for a glimpse of the woman who supporters are hoping will inject some life into a slow-moving race for the Republican nomination to take on President Barack Obama next year.

Some of those gathered at Gettysburg were puzzled by the goal of her tour, which seemed designed to attract public attention despite a lack of information.

"In a way it's cool. In a way it's, 'Whaa?'" said John Hower, a baker who drove for three hours from Berwick, Pennsylvania, with two friends to see Palin. "She's trying to avoid the media. But I'd like to see the bus. We're, like, where's this bus?"

"I'm disappointed. Yeah, I would have liked to have seen her," said Sharon Danielski, who left after a nine-hour vigil.

It is one thing to play the prick tease with the media, but these people are innocent victims who might actually be uninformed and low functioning enough to support her candidacy. (Yeah I tried to be nice, but seriously people buy a clue!)

However if she keeps this kind of thing up, she might start chipping away at her base of support, one disappointed paint eater at a time.

Of course if she HAD shown up, like she did earlier at Gettysburg, all they would get to see is one badly sunburned, poorly dressed grandmother, with a bored little girl in tow, and a mouthful of lies and word salad to dispense.



You know if she REALLY did not want to "disrupt people on their trips and on their vacations, and make it chaotic for these good folks" perhaps she might consider leaving the ostentatious bus in a parking lot someplace and visiting the historic landmarks like every other American tourist.  Or can't SarahPAC justify paying for it that way?
