Palin addresses dejected fans on book tour

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mAZhOJIfI

The video above shows how upset Palin fans were as Palin was unable to fill everyone's request for an autograph at a book signing on Thursday in Noblesville, IN. Outside the Borders bookstore, fans shouted, "Sign our books! Sign our books!" as Palin's bus drove away, heading for the next book tour stop.

The estimated 100 or so disappointed fans were reportedly given signed pieces of paper, while some demanded refunds. Most fans were dejected because they never received an apology. However, late Friday night, Palin addressed her fans on her Facebook page:

"The response on this book tour has been overwhelming. We are truly humbled, and I thank you.

I've been told that yesterday there were supporters in Noblesville who stood in long lines for hours in the cold and rain, and the book signing event ended without a chance to say hello to everyone who showed up. I am so sorry. We are working on a solution for those who were left behind.

I apologize."

"I've been told?!" She couldn't hear the shouting from inside her fancy bus? She refused to look out a window?

Ms. Palin's "quitting early" stunt last night kinda reminds me of something else she did not long ago...

I find it tough to hold her personally responsible for this gaffe, because I doubt she's in charge.
This tour is like a campaign, organized by the publisher, with a group of handlers, and a whole lot of logistics to coordinate. I'll bet Palin is busy jumping through hoops, in this dog & pony show, and could have been completely unaware of what was happening in Noblesville.

Interesting language choice...

You suspect she signed the books of the right behind, and not those left behind?

Griff · 11-21-2009, 01:27 PM

Actually I was thinking about the second favorite book for Palinists.

The lithping too.

Given a choice between Obama and Palin -- I'd take the one who isn't at all a socialist. Which lets out every Democrat leftwards of Joe Lieberman.

Yeah because pure right wing ideology creates a perfect government, just ask any nation that has had a fascist in power. Like Germany.
