Palin Cuts Vacation Short Over Blacked-Out Visor Flap

Sarah Palin released a statement yesterday announcing that she and husband Todd have cut their Hawaiian vacation short, after some controversy over a McCain campaign visor Palin wore with former running mate John McCain's name blacked out with a Sharpie.

After TMZ posted pictures of Palin wearing the visor, some speculation arose that this was another indication that Palin and McCain have been on bad terms since the campaign. Palin insisted that the visor was simply an attempt to "be incognito" on her trip.

Now, it seems, the controversy has caused Palin to end her Hawaii vacation early. In a statement, Palin said:

Todd and I have since cut our vacation short because the incognito attempts didn't work and fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun. So much for trying to go incognito.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[BurtWorm]

1. Maybe she should have worn a different cap if she didn't want to be noticed?

:think:

[tridim]

6. Exactly.

I'm willing to bet the entire point of the trip was to get her cap noticed by the media.

Most of us aren't as dumb as you Sarah.

[BurtWorm]

18. She's dumb and psycho.

That's a dangerous combination in a vice-presidential candidate.

:patriot:

[Kali]

33. or in a president

the last admin, for example

[monmouth]

43. I'll bet she saw an Asian and it made her uncomfortable. The

sun visor is just an excuse....LOL.

[tblue]

50. Bwaaaaaahahahahha! nt

[Botany]

7. Or book a hotel or resort that guarantees the privacy of guests

...... there are a whole bunch of them.

[Renew Deal]

62. Here's the picture

:rofl:

[dmr]

65. Here's pics from her vacation that I'm sure she's very unhappy about

[hlthe2b]

67. I'm bettng you are right....

Someone at TMZ does not like her! LOL (But I must admit I empathize with her on that--thank God they don't follow me around with a camera)

[gulliver]

73. That'll cost her primary votes big time

Palin just posted a GPS hotness position a hundred miles closer to Kay Bailey Hutchison-ville in the GOP male mind map. There's no fish in them waters.

[Dulcinea]

70. She lives for this.

She's been out of the news for a couple of days. She will do absolutely anything for attention, and apparently has no problem ruining a family vacation to get it. I feel sorry for her kids.

[lame54]

2. She can't even finish a vacation

[Maine-ah]

59. lofl!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

79. Yeah, NO SHIT! She quits EVERYTHING!

[Botany]

3. She really is one dumb bunny

Fellow vacationers made her mark out McCain's name on her visor?

And BTW there is only about 8 billion shops to buy visors in Hawaii.

[gratuitous]

16. Visors cost money, fellah

And Sarah doesn't go out-of-pocket anymore.

[Botany]

25. a google search for "gift shops Hawaii" pulls up 9,150,00 hits

and if I was bored I could come up with prices too.

hell the gift shop in the hotel or the pro shop for the tennis & golf course would have 'em.

[gratuitous]

30. You heartless bastage!

You think Mrs. Palin, an unemployed mother of five (or so) with a special needs child (and husband), should just go larking out and buy herself a new visor?! With her own money? Also? What kind of monster are you? At long last, have you no shame whatsoever?

[Botany]

34. Hotel concierge maybe

You think Mrs. Palin, an unemployed mother of five (or so) with a special needs child (and husband), should just go larking out and buy herself a new visor?

She could have put it on the room's bill ... which no doubt somebody else is picking up.

BTW ... I think Ms. palin wanted to be noticed w/ her I am pissed off @ McCain hat.

[Maine-ah]

60. I say we all chip in on a DU hat/visor and send it to her :)

[LynneSin]

41. Oh Geez, must you be so fricking insultive.....

how do you think all the dumb bunnies feel being compared to Palin?

[krispos42]

4. Man, there must be some sort of visor-shortage on the Hawaiian islands or something

:rofl:

[Missy Vixen]

28. She's big on recycling

If she was worried about being "incognito", maybe she shouldn't have brought the visor in the first place. She might also want to rethink wearing a t-shirt with catchy/insulting slogan.

Pooooor Sarah. So misunderstood. ;-)

[LynneSin]

42. She was forced to return this visor back to Nordstrom....

[treestar]

5. OMG

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The comedy skits for Tina Fey just write themselves. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[HopeHoops]

14. She must be getting HOUNDED with requests to return to SNL.

That's got to be hard. She's got some new show she's trying to make work and I'm sure that takes most of her time. Maybe James Belushi is available. He'd make a pretty good Sarah Palin.

[WI_DEM]

8. She truly is a prima donna.

[liberal N proud]

This isn't a joke?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

9. After all the book sales, you'd think she could just wander into a souvenir shop

and buy herself a $5 non-McCain visor.

[Vickers]

10. Her quitter gene is dominant.

:P

[Tailormyst]

11. Palin is the gift that keeps on giving.

[tammywammy]

12. ...

:rofl:

[wtmusic]

13. Geniuses have been persecuted throughout history

:rofl:

[Demit]

15. Patience, Sarah. Someday you will be able to be incognito everywhere you go.

The kind of attention you crave & are getting now is the kind that doesn't last.

[rurallib]

17. this just to disguise the fact that she's uncomfortable around those "others"

that are in Hawai'i.
BTW - did she visit Obama's birthplace?

[Winterblues]

19. Sarah Palin doesn't want to be noticed??? She Lies good enough to become President..

:shrug:

[myrna minx]

20. Oh my - I really needed a good laugh today.

:rofl:

[Cleita]

21. Can't stand the scrutiny that fame brings, huh!

How does she expect to be President? I'll bet the Hawaiians are saying, "good riddance."

[ShortnFiery]

22. Who cares? Really = Who cares? eom

[hlthe2b]

26. I found it to be an amusing anecdote...

After the strife the past several weeks, I thought we could use just a bit of humor. Sorry, you don't agree....:shrug:

[Marr]

23. She really is just plain dumb.

What can you even say to this?

[Raschel]

48. So stupidly unaware. Can you see her scribbling on it in her room with her tongue hanging out? Or

maybe she gave Piper the job of blackening every label?

[Missy Vixen]

24. And there's never been anyone in history who wore a campaign visor in the past

It's pretty funny to watch her little passive-aggressive stunt with the Sharpie and the McCain visor make national news.

Even better, those at tmz.com managed to get some great photos of Sarah's cellulite. I'll bet that bothered her more than the visor.

:rofl:

She's the gift that keeps on giving.

:eyes:

[euphoria12leo]

27. Must have been too

many of them there "Minority Types" around. She just didn't want to be bothered. No teabaggers you know. They couldn't afford to go vacationing in the sun because Palin has their money!!


:rofl:

[babydollhead]

29. I can see her, chewing her bottom lip while scribbling out his name

[Raschel]

49. So many funny scenarios to envision. "room service, could we have a marker?"

[CoffinEd]

31. Oh how precious

Sarah done gone and be learnt herself a new fiddy cent word: incognito. She so proud of herself that she uses the word twice in her statement. You betcha guys and gals! B-)

[Canuckistanian]

32. An attempt to be "incognito"?

You mean someone who was so close to Palin that they could read her visor wouldn't recognize her?

[Skidmore]

35. Darn, she's sure good at that quittin' stuff.

You'd think she'd want to have purchased a visor from the airport to sorta look like she might want votes from Hawaii later.

[11 Bravo]

36. Bullshit. She just found out that Hawaii is full of Asians, so she was too "uncomfortable" to relax.

[dave29]

37. Cover story. She was using the visor to try and get a better view of

Vladamir Putin

[Kali]

38. OMG

well as consolation if somehow she managed to get into the white house it will be pretty easy to get rid of her - a few critical news stories about her hats ought to do it. She'll just resign. Quitter extraordinaire!

[jaksavage]

39. Where were her pups?

You know the new baby and all?
This family needs an intervention.

[dixiegrrrrl]

53. She had the pups with her,looks like.

[tblue]

55. Shooting nenes from a helicopter? nt

[ljm2002]

40. Oh that's rich!

So her attempt to travel incognito involves using a black Sharpie to deface one of her campaign caps.

Not a wig. Not a different cap. Not T-shirts without political slogans. Nope, her idea of going incognito is to black out the name "McCain" on a baseball cap, while Todd wears a T-shirt that says "If you hate America so much then why don't you go somewhere else?" or something to that effect.

What a couple of bozos these people are.

I've been to Hawaii, and I've been to resorts there that cater to the rich and famous. There is no problem, none whatsoever, with accommodating people who are recognized: supermodels, rock stars, politicians.

What this really means is that Sarah Palin is both stupid and too cowardly to stand behind her own petty gestures. If she had any, er, ovaries, she would just give a hearty "FU" to all of us and get on with her vacation. But instead she is cutting it short and blaming everyone else but herself, as if she had no say in the matter.

[Lochloosa]

46. Todd would never wear a shirt saying that.

"If you hate America...."SECEDE"

Is more likely

[dixiegrrrrl]

63. Actually, he AND she wore same shirt, as described above.

[tblue]

51. She just wants everything, absolutely everything, on her terms. Spoiled brat.

It was interesting to see her sans makeup, tho. Hardly recognized her.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

44. Her Dad recently said on her quitting school there, "Asians Made Her Uncomfortable"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=389

[Ganja Ninja]

45. What is she taking a vacation from anyway?

It's not like she still has a job.

[ohheckyeah]

47. Her name and face hadn't been all over the news for

a couple of days so she had to do something for attention. She does this crap to get attention and then cries poor me when she does get it.

[progressoid]

52. More "GOTCHA" journalism apparently.

[Leftist Agitator]

54. Can someone translate this clause into English for me?

"...fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun."

What the fuck?

What a fucking idiot.

Palin has the language skills of a not-too-bright fourth-grader.

[hlthe2b]

57. I speak a little German, even less Spanish, some Arabic and

took Latin in school.... But, Palinese escapes me....;) (I think it requires a frontal lobotomy, for most people to interpret)

[Ruby the Liberal]

56. She should hook up with Tiger's professional 'vacation' planners

[marlakay]

58. She knows they watch her every move

so this has to be some weird passive/aggressive thing against McCain but one where she can play her stupid Barbie gee I don't know act.

I think she did it on purpose...saying she crossed his name out so no one would recognize her? really? with her whole family with her?

[Vinca]

61. There was more to that visor than meets the eye.

Blacking McCain's name out was definitely an attention getter. Why else would a woman who's making millions bypass the mountains of visors sold in every Hawaiian retail establishment?

[Javaman]

64. ahhh using the clever Clark Kent school of disguise I see.

She's a bullshit artist and fucking moron.

Being "private" or "be incognito" is the last thing this wasted brain cell attention whore wants. She thrives on "tempest in a teapot controversy".

I will give her this, she's very good at sucking all the good air out of the room.

[camera obscura]

66. Will she ever quit quitting?

Koan for the day.

[mnhtnbb]

68. What a dumb cluck.

[jillan]

69. Sarah - why don't you climb into a hole and never ever come out again.

[Cass]

71. Always the victim, that one.

Oh poor poor Sarah Palin...she is SO victimized by the world. :eyes:

We all know she wore that dang visor on purpose for attention and now that she got it, her juvenile petty little junior high mission is accomplished.

Maybe she thought the Obamas would invite her over for cocktails one night if they heard she was in town. They are in Hawaii for the holidays, too. LOL.


:puke::puke::puke:


edited to add that you can't make this stuff up if you tried. I would have sworn this was an Onion piece! This is too funny!!

[ThoughtCriminal]

72. I thought she didn't like Hawaii

According to her Dad, she left school there because there were too many "Minority types"

http://rawstory.com/2009/12/palins-dad-told-reporters-daughter-left-hawaii-uncomfortable-minorities/

[Blue_In_AK]

74. My guess is she's most upset by the unflattering photographs

that have surfaced from her Hawaiian vacation such as these which show her looking not quite so "hawt."

[HipChick]

75. without the layers of makeup

..she's looking haggard..

[Terra Alta]

76. Palin is such an attention whore!

I wish the media would stop reporting her every move. She needs to fade into obscurity.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

77. Fellow vacationers were bothered by HER presence not the media.

What a lying sack of shit she is. Notice she always vacations in Blue America...San Deigo...Hawaii. Why not go take your vacation
in Arkansas where you can be adored you hollow, middle aged Barbie Doll.

[sakabatou]

78. LMAO

[live love laugh]

80. She shortens her vacay and issues a press statement? Attention whore. nt

[Shallah Kali]

81. Her shirt said "If you don't love America then why don't you get the hell out"
