Sarah Palin book tour bus pulled into Washington County two weekends ago, but that doesn't mean she was always on it. For the record, the ex-guv herself got there and the other stops on the tour by a private jet that costs $4,000 per hour, the Daily Beast reports:
It seems now that Palin hasn't been on the bus, except for short hops between local airports and hotels and book-signing sites. Instead, as first reported
by the Alaskan blog Palingates, she's apparently been aboard UJT750,
the Gulfstream American twin-jet that she first boarded at Westchester
County airport shortly after noon on November 18, bound for Grand
Rapids, Michigan, and the first stop on her tour.
The full activity log for UJT750 can be found here.
The bottom line is that the plane's goings and comings track Palin's
tour perfectly: from Grand Rapids to Washington, Pa. and then to
Rochester, N.Y., Roanoke, Va., Fayetteville, N.C., Birmingham, Ala.,
and Jacksonville and Orlando.
UPDATE: Palin's response, via Politico:
"The media showed the same out-of-proportion obsession with my personal
arrangements, clothes and hairstyles last year instead of focusing on
the crucial issues involving the election," she said.
