Sarah Palin Tells Fox News Reporter She Loves The Smell Of Motorcycle Exhaust

Sarah Palin might not be trusted with nuclear weapons by everyone, but when it comes to creating buzz, she’s as reliable as they come. Palin rode into Washington, D.C. on a motorcycle today to kick off a bus tour of the Northeast, and got plenty of attention for it, including from a Fox News reporter on the scene – but judging by Palin’s enthusiasm when asked about the ride, it was well worth it, attention or not.

Palin, when asked if the events on her upcoming tour would all be as loud as today’s motorcycle-filled procession, and she responded by yelling back (emphasis by way of all caps and italics hers):

“OHHH IT WOULD BE A BLAST IF THEY WERE THIS LOUD AND IF THEY SMELLED THIS GOOD. I LOVE THAT SMELL OF THE EMISSIONS.”

Well, Palin probably wouldn’t have been a big hit with environmentalists either way, so no harm done with that remark. If anything, bikers will love it, because she really liked those emissions.
