Sarah Palin Explains Bus Tour: ‘Not About Me’ And ‘Not A Publicity-Seeking Tour’

video
» 179 comments

Those who work in the arena of political media have been scratching their collective heads trying to make sense of what Sarah Palin is up to with her One Nation bus tour. In an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, Palin explains that her tour is ‘not about me,’ adding that many in the media are looking for a story that calls this a “conventional campaign-type tour,” which she reminds this is not, “except to campaign on our Constitution, our charters of liberty.”

The full interview between Van Susteren and Palin is set to air this evening, but show producers, Fox News (and/or maybe the Palin team themselves) smartly released an excerpt of the interview late last night, ironically maximizing the publicity of the exclusive interview, and yes, the tour itself.

For her part, Van Susteren defended her exclusive scoop of getting the opportunity for Palin to explain the purpose of the somewhat mysterious tour amid criticism from the NY Times Michael Shear who wrote “Ms. Palin, the former governor of Alaska, has made it quite clear that she just wants to be left alone. She doesn’t want to accommodate members of the news media (except, perhaps, Fox.)” Van Susteren explained on her blog:

She works for Fox, and just as with any employee or someone on contract with another network, she is contractually obliged NOT to speak to others. For instance, when I was in Haiti, I could not interview CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta or when I want to talk politics, I can’t interview CNN’s Donna Brazile.

Ironically, yesterday Shear captured video of Palin providing roughly three minutes of access to reporters in which she came off as relaxed, frank, and much more friendly than she does in the interview below, in which she once again, goes after the media, to which she claims to owe nothing. She has a fair point, that many reporters like to put stories into preconceived narratives, and that, in many ways Palin has been quite an original. However, her constant use of the “me vs. them” narrative construct, while understandable, has begun to grow a little tired.

Two things to take away? Palin is probably NOT running for president as yet (else she would likely have been suspended as a Fox News contributor.) Also, she seems so much more charming in the relaxed environment of yesterday’s improvised Q&A with reporters that she should do many more of those sorts of appearances.

    Ha! A politician telling you that “it is not about me”………..

    Nice soundbite Palin but you’re not fooling anyone.

    “Also, she seems so much more charming in the relaxed environment of yesterday’s improvised Q&A with reporters that she should do many more of those sorts of appearances.”

    Yes, she should do many more of those 3-minute Q&A and eventually they might add up to one real interview.

  • THE REAL ROYAL KING

    Says O’Van Susteren:

    “… when I was in Haiti, I could not interview CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta ….”

    Now, Greta, he was there working. It’s for the best you weren’t allowed to annoy him with your silly questions.

    Ironically must be the word of the day — twice in one article.

    Palin owes the media nothing, they work overtime to slander her, make stuff up about her and her family, and dumpster dive where they give hehimself a pass for anything/everything.

    No stories on this board about the President golfing yet again…how many times, and just think 8 US Servicemen were killed this weekend, and the mainstream press ignores it. Just imagine, if it were a republican president….those deaths would not go unreported, they would call the republican president a killer.

    Charlie “are we fighting a holy war” Gibson, and Katie Couric set the narrative for Palin when they refused to discuss her record with her and instead attacked her as an unfit mother and unprepared; they ignored her record as Governor because they got the message from the DNC to politically assassinate her.

    She still stands, Charlie and Katie are gone (thankfully).

    Palin will do it her way and the enemedia will continue to do it their way – slash and burn any cconservative, pump up and kiss clymer to any democrat.

  • Big Eddie

    Sarah should do what sleazy politicians do on Memorial Day . Play golf .

    ” President Obama’s decision to play golf yesterday, Memorial Day, for the 70th time during his 28-month long presidency. For tens of millions of Americans, Memorial Day is a time for remembrance of the huge sacrifices made by servicemen and women on the battlefield. The president did pay his respects in the morning, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, but later in the day traveled to Fort Belvoir to play golf. The story has not been reported so far in a single US newspaper…”

    Hey Colby, if she’s not releasing tour locations and just showing up wherever unexpectedly, how is it “maximizing the tour itself?”

    It’s clear that most media attack her every chance they get so the “Me vs them” narrative is beyond fair. Even the most proudest libs cant deny that.

    You mean to tell me that you haven’t noticed the differnece between BO with a prompter vs without?

  • THE REAL ROYAL KING

    Let’s see, our President had an exhausting week tending to the nation’s business in Europe. He scarcely touched down before he was off to Joplin to tend to Americans in a great deal of pain, Americans with staggering losses. The next day, he was up early to pay respects to the fallen at Memorial Day Services. A bit of golf sounds to me to be in order. In any event, I am pretty sure few of the brave men and women who gave the ultimate to preserve our way of life, wouldn’t begrudge anyone from enjoying that way of life. These men and women were not and are not part of the professional cyber whining class. That distinction is left to you and yours. Your whining doesn’t do a thing for them or to commemorate their service.

(he must be second guessing himself after that remarkable use of a teleprompter in michelle bachman’s post state of the union disaster. or he could take after palin and have someone put in words and phrases she doesn’t understand.

    Nice try. Even with the most viewed network bringing this stuff up, it is impossible to deny that he was let off the hook by all those that were helping him win the election. Dont get me wrong, there are numerous reasons he won but this one is still there. While McCain was to old and Palin was everything thats wrong with the country, BO could do no wrong and it seemed all but Hannity cared about anything from his past.

    Twist and whine all you want, you cannot deny that most if not all knew nothing about BO. Still dont.

  • Resistance Is Futile

    Mediaite is as sop for Palin, not surprising. They thin k this tour was not a publicity stunt. It’s a bus tour by a politician how phony and obtuse can Colby Hall be? Palin always attacks the media, calling it “the lame stream media”. Is it surprising she would not give them advance information. This caused the media to talk about her all wekend. Come on Colby give us some thoughtful reporting. The only thing remotely interesting in this story is the assertion that Palin probably won’t run for president which is probably true. She knows she could never win. As conservative journalist George Will said Sunday on “This Week” and I paraphrase the American people would never give Sarah Palin the nuclear button.

    He was not best friends with a member of the Weather Underground. He attended a fundraiser at the home of someone who had also invited Ayers. That said, you folks need some new material. Ayers was an anti war protestor who tried to blow up a government building when Obama was 8 YEARS OLD! Is that getting through? It didn’t rub off on Obama because he had nothing to do with it. And it didn’t stop 69 million people from voting for him over a war hero and a nitwit. He won and they lost badly. Move on! Now, as for the story that’s actually posted here:

    “Exclusive”? Now that’s hilarious! Maybe Greta could explain why Palin was ducking the rest of the media when she was McCain’s running mate? After the disasters with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric it became obvious why she began ducking them. Afraid of the “lamestream media”! She can’t actually answer questions without empty talking points and campaign slogans. “Freedom, Liberty, Constitution, and Common Sense Conservatism”. What? Oh, and let’s leave Obama out of this since he’s already ran and won the presidency, something this coward has no intention of doing. It’s clearly a desperate attempt for publicity. You’ll note that she felt the need to deny what is clear to anyone who’s willing to admit it. “One Nation Tour”? Sounds like a Parliment Funkadelic concert tour.

    Snooki & Palin both out getting publicity this week–end, wow, 2 peas in a pod…I don’t see an inch of difference between these women, I’m sure Snooki wants to keep up her reality image as “the bad girl” hitting a police car and getting arrested…while Palin keeps up her real American image riding motorcyles!!

    Sorry ChiliPeppersFan but, I missed the fact that your comment was clearly snark! That said, the rest of the drones here should probably get over it.

    Seems to be a lot of use this AM of commandments #4, #8, and #9 from the 10 Commandments in the Democrat Playbook:

    “4. Anytime you find someone supporting the Constitution and traditional American values, call them “extremists” and belittle their intelligence with name-calling. These people are obstacles to our overthrow of the American system and must be marginalized.”

    “8. Never miss an opportunity to adopt and use double standards. That’s powerful tool to use against our enemies. Hold them accountable to a different standard than we practice, and you will be rewarded by your emotion-driven voter base who will never notice the difference.”

    “9. Always side with America’s enemies against her. Remember, you are both on the same side against American liberty manifested in capitalism. Find a way to present America’s enemies as “victims.” And remember to always describe treason as “patriotism.””

    Right, because her poll numbers are so high? Simple basic math. Liberals are chomping at the bit but, we know that she’s too much of a coward to run. All of this will she or won’t she screams, I’m too scared that I’ll be crushed by Obama. She may be stupid but, she can read a poll. She has zero chance against him and it’s killing you Palin drones.

    Again, nice try peppers. You think you make a case by pointing out one time he spoke eloquently without a prompter and mocking Bachmann whom i’ve never took the side of positively? By the way, judging by how frequently wrong you are on here, I wonder about his “verbally destroying” anyone. But it doesn’t matter, your opinion that is.

    It’s literaly every time he speaks off the cuff that he sounds like an idiot. Of course thats my opinion, but if you can watch that and think he sounds brilliant, well I guess thats why my country is in trouble rite now.

    Dimwit liberals want Palin to run because she cannot win. Number one she is too ignorant of real politics and government. Number two she does not have the temperament to be president. Palin, like Trump is just about promoting herself at the expense of the dumb and gullible. When you you folks wake up and smell the coffee. You are being used and you are not bright enough to see it. It is pitiful to watch simple minded people be manipulated like sheep.

Wallets with chains will be back in style too since the way liberals are trying to pick all the working Americans pockets for hard earned cash to spread it out to their non working voter base. No more handouts vote GOP in 2012.

    Your silly childish rant did not address a sing thing I read. You right the same post to whoever you disagree with showing that you lack either the intelectual discipline or ability to respond in an intelligent manner. Palin is the one married to someone who hated America so much he wanted the state to leave the union. You can’t deal with that maybe because you have traitors like Palin’s husband in your ancestral closet. If you like Palin ever bothered to actually read the constitution you would know that it is and was designed to be an evolving document but like Palin you would rather spout off meaningless rhetoric than do something boring like actually read the constitution. You like Palin aspire to mediocrity which is not what made America great.

    Or maybe y’all were just trying to be French. That may be the huge difference between the majority of people and others who are “elitist”. Did you actually play tea-time and play the “Internationale”.

    Reality is a lot different. I’m not attacking you; you can do whatever you want to do (in my world) but when you make it public discourse…that’s some food for fodder.

    It feels like a tour to get a feel for the people, and whether they are there to back her, if she decides to run.

    It also feels a bit like she is trying to see if she can reach the people directly, without the negative filter the MSM places on her. A trial maybe, to see how she could control the message with voters…. It’s not like the media will be on her side – but she seems to be very good one on one, with the peeps.

    It feels like a tour to get a feel for the people, and whether they are there to back her, if she decides to run.

    It also feels a bit like she is trying to see if she can reach the people directly, without the negative filter the MSM places on her. A trial maybe, to see how she could control the message with voters…. It’s not like the media will be on her side – but she seems to be very good one on one, with the peeps.

    More likely, she’s looking at waning interest in her, declining book sales, a television career which seems to be going nowhere, and she is bilking the media and her supporters with a faux presidential run. She wouldn’t be the first, and I have to say I have little sympathy for the media or the Palin supporters.

For tens of millions of Americans, Memorial Day is a time for remembrance of the huge sacrifices made by servicemen and women on the battlefield. The president did pay his respects in the morning, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, but later in the day traveled to Fort Belvoir to play golf.

    Ironically must be the word of the day — twice in one article.

    Palin owes the media nothing, they work overtime to slander her, make stuff up about her and her family, and dumpster dive where they give hehimself a pass for anything/everything.

    No stories on this board about the President golfing yet again…how many times, and just think 8 US Servicemen were killed this weekend, and the mainstream press ignores it. Just imagine, if it were a republican president….those deaths would not go unreported, they would call the republican president a killer.

    Charlie “are we fighting a holy war” Gibson, and Katie Couric set the narrative for Palin when they refused to discuss her record with her and instead attacked her as an unfit mother and unprepared; they ignored her record as Governor because they got the message from the DNC to politically assassinate her.

    She still stands, Charlie and Katie are gone (thankfully).

    Palin will do it her way and the enemedia will continue to do it their way – slash and burn any cconservative, pump up and kiss clymer to any democrat.

    Palin tweaked the President about yesterday’s words too. Apparently the following happened:

    http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/31/palin-fakes-out-reporters-at-gettysburg-hotel/

    And also this:

    While in Baltimore, according to a Los Angeles Times reporter who was able to keep up despite the lack of a public schedule, Ms. Palin read a manuscript of the “Star Spangled Banner;” hoisted a 36-pound cannon ball; briefly upbraided President Obama for referring to the U.S. Military during a Memorial Day observance as “one of the finest fighting forces in the world,” as opposed to the finest; and in a particularly mavericky touch, paid a compliment to another non-candidate governor, Rick Perry of Texas.

    Maybe you missed it cause it’s in a seperate post but I already wrote that the “He’s a muslim” nonsense I did not believe in. And the B crap also. If anything it took potential airtime away from more legitimate concerns.

    Again. it didn’t matter if Fox, the most viewed of all the networks, mentioned some things that shoud have worried voters. Because ALL the others spent all their time praising him insted of wondering where he came from. (Politicaly not geographicaly or religiously I mean this)

    How can I say he was unvetted? Easily. Because he wasn’t. I’m constantly meating people who had no idea his mother was named Stanley because his father was so upset that he didnt have a boy and that his father was a Kenyan socialist that abandonded him before dying a legless drunk in yet another DWI.

    Now just stop for 1 realistic moment and imagine Bush, Cheney, Palin or McCain with this backround: Would it not be constant fodder for all the media? Your out of your mind to try and deny this one.

    If you see how I mini-golf, it’s bad. HAHAHAHA No problem with golfing, but when you’re trying to lead the country that has a lot of problems, I think it’s time to golf every other weekend and instead stay inside or go outside and read a book. Simple as that. We all do it.

    it depends on how you relieve stress, i dont fault over little stuff

  • lazzzlo

    I’ve played golf all my life and I have poor depth perception.

    If I hit my golf ball straight I can find it.

    I can’t shoot hoops.

    Quite frankly, I want an active Prez.

    I have never understood why the Prez gets hammered because of golf.

    The other thing is that most writers simplify everything.

    Because lazzio there is a certain segment of the right wing who hammer Obama for even getting up in the morning.

    No, I celebrate the 4th of July in France. Memorial Day, I am usually home.

    I was late to the party, (read your earlier comments after I posted) I was hoping it was sarcasm, as that was how I read it. Actually funny, except I did have mimosas with a dash of rasberry.

    Well, you could have the best of both celebrations: July 4th here- July 14 in France.

    Who is she trying to convince, the viewers or herself?

    For Palin, it’s always all about self-promotion in an effort to paint herself as God’s gift to patriotism.

    Let’s see, our President had an exhausting week tending to the nation’s business in Europe. He scarcely touched down before he was off to Joplin to tend to Americans in a great deal of pain, Americans with staggering losses. The next day, he was up early to pay respects to the fallen at Memorial Day Services. A bit of golf sounds to me to be in order. In any event, I am pretty sure few of the brave men and women who gave the ultimate to preserve our way of life, wouldn’t begrudge anyone from enjoying that way of life. These men and women were not and are not part of the professional cyber whining class. That distinction is left to you and yours. Your whining doesn’t do a thing for them or to commemorate their service.

    He was on vacation dude. I know a state visit can be taxing for a President without any natural class, all those dinners, and British protocol can be hugely taxing and stressful. Hanging out at the American ambassadors house is really tough as well. Actually, I wish he would stop tending to American interest in Europe because every time he does we come out losing. That’s why I don’t have problem with him on the golf course- better that than an actual meeting.
    and well duh – paying his respects to our soldiers on Memorial Day is his job, not a day off. He is the Commander in Chief after all. So sorry, no brownie points for getting out of bed early, us professional do it everyday.

    The 4th of July is a great holiday, of course. I get a little upset when I see it becoming yet another military-themed event. That’s a small part of it, of course, but we already have Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day …. What’s the problem with celebrating the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, even exalting in the end product of that effort, our Constitution? Our military’s great in part because we have great ideas and ideals. Let’s cherish those while honoring those who brought about and preserved our freedom. The latter doesn’t have to replace the former.

    And, you’re right about Bastille Day. What a glorious, glorious time. Everyone ought to be in France at least once on Bastille Day. Paris is great. Lyons is great. Marseilles is unbelievable. So is all of France on this commemoration.

    Regarding Palin and her bus tour de hell, here’s an idea:

    There needs to be another season of the Canadian television series “Trailer Park Boys” produced. Sarah Palin, listen up. Sarah you will play Mr.Lehay’s new love interest. As the season progresses it becomes all about you taking over Sunnyvale trailer park, and your acting role will be one of descending into a alcoholic and meth induced madness. Bristol and Willow television roles will be of puck bunny daughters who move into the trailer park and cause further chaos. Palin, this role is you. The set will be a trailer park, should make you feel at home. Even you can take direction in this environmen­t as it will come from your soul. And you will be too busy shooting episodes in Nova Scotia (sorry Nova Scotia, the needs of the many sometimes outweigh the needs of the few) to go around in your really annoying highway of hell bus tour or to run for President. You will get paid. Maybe you can buy another home, this time in Halifax, and you can tell people you see Europe from your house. And this reality I mean mockumenta­ry show I will watch. It will almost be like an alternativ­e version of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” I may even buy the DVD.

    Many of you have been asking what I think about motorcycling. I am not opposed to it. I don’t particularly enjoy it, but I use to have a Mo-Ped to run errands into Haifa, and I have used Vespas to get around Rome and Paris. I had a great vacation in Corsica on a Vespa. So, there is nothing inherently wrong in Palin’s cycling show. As a matter of fact, I’d like to see some tricks. Perhaps, a jump of 20 cases of Moon Pies.

    Palin bus takes a right turn followed by another right turn

    On their way to the Gettysburg Civil War Battlefield, Team Palin discovered that the newly installed GPS was not functioning properly. A now-former aide recounted the incident. “We were trying to get to the park entrance, but the GPS sent us to a boat loading ramp at a Boy Scout Camp. Sarah looked at the GPS unit and scoffed, ‘Made in China. Should have known it. They probably programmed the thing to keep us out of our great national parks!’”

    The former aide said the group finally reached the sacred battlefield. “There was a lot of discussion about where we should park the bus, the south side or the north side. Sarah said that although she in no way supported or approved of slavery, she did sympathize with the States Rights philosophy of the Confederacy. “They were ahead of us on that one, don’t you know,” she said. But Team Palin also wanted to acknowledge the Northern issue of One Union, which is kind of the theme of this bus tour. So, we drove around and begged the GPS to find us the boundary line between the two sides. . .

    The whimsical story continues at Thinking Out Loud, http://marperl.blogspot.com/2011/05/further-news-update.html

    She went to the War Memorial to find a good piece of asp. To bad she doesn’t do a Cleopatra. Probably to dumb to know her asp from a hole in the ground.

  • TeaPartyNation

    No only are the lunatic-left unable to comprehend Palin’s obvious tribute to American Patriotism and to America’s Military Patriots, they have NO CLUE what that “We the People….” on the side of the bus represents. (FYI: That expression does NOT appear in the principal lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist literature, such as the Communist Manifesto, the writings of Karl Marx, Bill Ayers and “YOU LIE!” hussein, the sayings of Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez, etc.) So, perhaps Palin’s people can create and hand-out an “American-to-Socialist” translation guide for the leftist extremists to use!

    Its all about Palin she wants “Trump” type attention.

    Her attention appears to be “Trumping” that of the one who sits in the OO, he did shoot Osama, doncha know …….and the media is chasing Sarah. Fickle, fickle, voters and the media, ya never know how fast things can turn in politics.

    Obviously the military, as well as all security agencies, play(ed) a huge role in celebrating the freedoms we have, and continue to have, but I see your point with regard to July 4th & The Declaration of Independence.

    The “military” was really everyday men and woman hardly an organized unit, fighting as individuals, then small groups and eventually finding a collective voice, political leaders and military leaders. The Revolution really is the ultimate symbol of American principles. Ohh! that almost sounds like the Tea Party.

    Truthfully, I haven’t seen it given over so much to ‘military’ themes as a holiday, and that’s saying a lot- since we celebrate in Coronado (San Diego).

    BTW- I highly recommend ringing in the New Year in Edinburgh, Scotland. It will definitely start the year off right.
