Is NOTHING about this woman true?

Not even the bus.

Sarah Palin even lies to her supporters, and the public, about riding the bus to her book signings. Can you believe that?

This from Joe McGinnins at the Daily Beast.

Last week I was in The Villages, the fantastical Back to the Future-style retirement enclave north of Orlando, when Palin popped out the front door of the bus to greet the thousand or so worshipers gathered outside Barnes & Noble. I thought she sure looked good for someone who had been riding a bus for a week, changing diapers—as she said—all the way. Publicist Andreadis, by contrast, had the worn and harried look of someone who had been earning an honest living by riding a bus for a week.

It seems now that Palin hasn’t been on the bus, except for short hops between local airports and hotels and book-signing sites. 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.

Often Palin makes the claim that she is different. That she would not engage in "politics as usual". But of course that is a lie.

In fact she represents the very worst kind of politician. The one that will say absolutely anything to garner support. She has become a living, breathing parody of the serious politician. Who needs Tina Fey, when Sarah herself is doing shtick?

She lied through her job as mayor. Lied through her job as governor. Lied to the Republican party. Lied to the American people. Lied through Twitter, Facebook, and now an actual autobiography (Written, of course, by somebody else). It seems that the one thing Sarah Palin will not quit at is lying!

Is this really what her followers believe America has been looking for? Do they truly believe that pretending to be someone special is the same as being someone special?

It reminds me of that old joke, "How do you know Sarah Palin is lying? You can see her lips move." Not so damn funny when it's true, now is it?
