ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said she cut short her Hawaii vacation because of paparazzi, who photographed her wearing a sun visor with the name of John McCain blacked out.
The pictures were circulated widely on the Internet with speculation the redaction was a slight against McCain, but Palin said she meant no disrespect to her former GOP running mate.
“In an attempt to ‘go incognito,’ I Sharpied the logo out on my sun visor so photographers would be less likely to recognize me and bother my kids or other vacationers,” Palin said in a statement.
“I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his re-election,” the former Alaska governor said.
Other photographs of the Palins relaxing on the beach showed up on celebrity Web sites such as http://www.tmz.com.
“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,” she said.
Riiiiight, she couldn’t afford another cap, so she crossed out McCain’s name. What a classy broad.
More media attention for her yet again, which will help sell more of her books and get her elected as the first woman president if not in 2012, 2016. It’s so funny how the libs get all worked up about the use of a Sharpie as if it’s anything more than a National Enquirer issue. ROFL. Hey guys, keep the stupidity coming I can’t stop laughing when you make these inane comments about a soccer mom who has tons more power than you could ever dream of.
She hasn’t really left high school yet, has she?
#15, Todd Palin,
Thought you could fool us with the name change?
Don’t you guys have anything better to than to slam Palin? Isn’t the worlds greatest scam by the psychiatric patient and criminal liar St. Al Gore more important????
Your wife brings it on herself. If the two of you with your two grand kids went back to Alaska and just sat there while waiting for the criminal investigations to finish, no one would care. Instead you have to travel America on a book signing tour. So how much are the books selling for now, $2.95?
No, Al Gore is not a saint. He is, however, a very intelligent man who is bringing attention to an important issue. Just like your wife’s media whoring is bringing attention to her self.
A question to consider:
How would the media have played this if she hadn’t blacked out McCain’s name?
Just asking.
Did anyone notice that that shirt makes her butt look big?
