The Palin's bus tour described as a "rolling menace"
"They speed. They run red lights and stop signs. They make last-second lane changes to get off the highway, sometimes without signaling.

And so do the reporters following them.
...
As they left the clambake she attended Thursday in New Hampshire, Palin’s two-SUV caravan traveled at 52 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone as it peeled away from the hosts’ neighborhood. Both cars blew through a stop sign about a mile later. They did 70 mph in a 55 mph zone on I-95 — and then, after they got off, without signaling, flew right past a flashing sign informing them they were going 45 mph in a 35 mph zone.

And that was after they had already stormed the major cities — and just missed driving through a tornado on the road into Boston.:"

Just another family vacation gone horribly wrong! :rofl:

2. ....
"The reporters who are speeding, tailgating, cutting off other cars, blasting through roundabouts and passing on the right in an effort to keep up, say they have no other choice since they never know what Palin’s up to or where she’s headed"

they certainly do have a choice, they can ignore her. Isn't she just a private citizen, why is it that she has to be in every news cycle?

9. Plus if they had a decent network of reporters like the BBC they could just have their local person
do it.

10. So why aren't the police doing something about this?
I'd be on my phone so fast, dialing 911 it wouldn't be funny.
