It's taken a long time, but I think the Press is starting to realize that Palin is playing them from Chumps (ala Trump) with her little "One Nation (for the Right-Wing to Rule Them, Hold Them, and in the Darkness Bind Them) Tour"

I get the feeling this is how the Press is starting to feel.

But just like Charly Brown, they're going to wind up flat on their back yet again -screaming.

Yes, that's right - it's the Great Punkin' Charley Brown via ABCNews.

Call her the new Ashton Kutcher.
As Sarah Palin's "One Nation" tour enters its third day, she's tricking the press much like the erstwhile "Punk'd" host pranked celebrities.

Palin reportedly faked out reporters at her Gettysburg, Pa. hotel Tuesday morning. She snuck out early with her family and a few staffers, leaving her unmistakeable bus behind and giving the press the impression that she was still readying for the day ahead. When her staff came out to load luggage into the bus, reporters and tourists swarmed to get a glimpse of the former Alaska governor herself, but she was long gone, off to the historic battlegrounds.

Palin's goal to make the "mainstream media... do a little bit of work on a tour like this," as she told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Tuesday, is turning her campaign-like jaunt into a carnival - a chase carried out online and on foot to track down a woman who attracts more attention the less she reveals. Asked about her 2012 presidential aspirations when reporters do catch up with her, Palin's offered variations on "I don't know," the same refrain she's sung for weeks.

If you watched any of CNN on Memorial Day it was transformed into PalinTV. Sarah's been playing them like a Stradavarious with her Big Campaign Styled Bus for her little Family Outing. She could make this exact same trip in an Escalade and play hide-and-seek with the Press all she wants, but instead she's got this huge Bus, with this dramatic Video dripping with delusions of relevance.

Fetishized Neo-Patriot Porn like this has to be seen to be believed.

She makes this video to promote her tour, then she doesn't give the Press her Itinerary so they have to chase after her like they're a gay mob and she's freakin Lady Gaga or something?

Sick grifter/savant brilliance. Snowbilly Snooky has struck.

Because they fall for it, again and again and again...

What they really need to to is just walk away. But they can't do it, they just can't drag themselves away from the slow motion snowmachine wreck of mangled facts, policy and Constitutional De-construction.

Palin: We don't need to fundamentally transform America we need to restore traditional America

Which I guess is Beckese for Repealing the Civil Rights Act and the Last 14 Constitutional Amendments so we go all the way back to 1823, removing Women's Suffrage, restoring Slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act - because that's the America our founders actually left us with.

GOP Strategist Susan Moliary: "Who knows what goes on in the Mind of the Former Governor".

GOP Strategist John Brabender : "People don't want to feel like it's Barnum and Bailey..."

Erick Erickson: "I think the rumor-mill, back biting in Republican Circles, is she here to help Republicans or help herself.."

John King: "Greta Van Susturen gets [On the Bus], and we can't even get her schedule".

Which is just masterful stage craft, don't tell the Press where you're going and when you're going to be there and they have to watch you every second - even as you go off to buy socks.

Yes, they followed her as she went to buy socks.

GOP Strategist: "Palin is creating the first Stealth Publicity Tour..."

Stealth? STEALTH? This is stealthy like the Hindenburg Fire!

Meanwhile FOX News gets clips like this where Palin actually explains that she "Doesn't Owe the Mainstream Media Anything". Yeah, cuz they might ask you yet another mean, biased "Gotcha" question like "What do you Read?"

You don't owe the Mainstream Media? Then who the frak are you talking to here al Jazeera?

She pretty much explains exactly what she's doing here. Supposed Campaigning for the "Constitution" which as I've shown in the past she doesn't understand.

As she wrote in her book "America By Heart".

Take the recent health care debate as an example. The folks pushing President Obama's government health care bill seemed to think that we could be bought. But when we say we believe that our rights are God-given it means something.
Those words in the Declaration of Independence mean that our rights are sacred; government can't legitimately violate them or add to them. The proponents of government health care didn't seem to think that Americans understood this principle—or, if we understood it, we didn't really mean it. They seemed to think we could be bribed by pie-in- the-sky promises; that we were gullible enough to believe that government could manufacture a new "right" to health care and we wouldn't pay the price with our freedom, such as our freedom to keep what we earn, to choose our own doctor, and to buy—or not buy—health insurance.

Just like Herman Cain she doesn't get that the Declaration doesn't document what our Rights are or aren't, the Constitution Guarantees and Protects Our Rights and the Constitution Can be changed. If she took a class in civics I'm not sure she'd even get a "D".

Common sense says that since Palin is still a Fox News Employee unlike Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum - SHE'S NOT RUNNING. We know it. She knows it. Even the Press knows it if they pull their head out of their ass. This donor funded family vacation is a sham. It's a stunt.
