Wow — the teabaggers, birthers and know-nothings waited for hours for Bible Spice to sign copies of Going Rogue, and they weren’t happy when her highness basically took the money and ran… (Rumproast):
Teabaggers just aren’t happy about anything these days. I guess the Noblesville, Indiana Going Rogue book signing didn’t go very well yesterday because 300* or so of the 1000 people with wristbands were asked not to tread on Sarah Palin and then she tried to make a getaway with Baby Trig and several duffel bags full of cash but wingnuts have learned to protest about everything these days, so they were having none of it. This is the best thing you will see about horrible, horrible Sarah Palin on the internets all day and until the end of time.
Even better, the “fans left behind” left behind not-so-kind messages on the former VP nom’s Facebook page.
Lu Paletta Part I: No Sarah Palin wristband yesterday. Got a bookplate w/fake signature; was told it was as good as a band. Part of overflows that was next in line; group had real camaraderie in cold/rain for >15 hours. Folks from all over with 1 goal, see someone who speaks for us. The bus arrived, a crowd of 500 outside, 1000s inside. A roaring welcome, Gov Palin & Trig, a few remarks, few pictures and on to Barnes&Nobles;.
Lu Paletta Part II: 30 mins after being let in, told leave or be escorted out. Showed bookplates; told they had no value. B&N blamed cutoff on Palins who had to go to Ft Wayne. It is 3 hours away, a next day signing; she couldn’t stay for fans who waited in rain/cold all day? B&N ticked me off; returned all books. Governor: You have the people’s ear; you are scaring Washington. But, please acknowledge people that wait for hours to see you. We are reaching out to you and need you to reach back.
Gary Conner Sarah,
You angered and disappointed over 300 families in Noblesville tonight. I attended Mike Huckabee’s book signing yesterday. He had pre-signed book in case he would be unable to sign all the books for people who qualified. His books would be exchange one for one with any one whose book he could not sign
First, you should work to make this right. Second, you need to make sure that it never happens again!
Jordan Harris I just spent 9 hours of my day, $40 of my hard earned money on two of your books, and took the whole day off work to watch you jump on a bus and throw a half-heated wave to the crowd you were avoiding.
I have never felt so disrespected. How can you claim that you are different? You aren’t. You are just as selfish as everyone else in Washington. It breaks my heart. I thought you might be the answer to the turmoil this country is under but you aren’t. You just slapped hundreds of Hoosiers in the face. The hard working type of people that you claim to represent.
You say in your book that you chose to sleep well over eating well. At the end of the day I know that you don’t care that you wasted the whole day of some 20 year old college student who lives on their own. I understand that all that matters is that I spent my money on two of your books. I’m sure your eating well. You certainly have no reason to be sleeping well.
And there are many more comments collected over at Rumproast., including one man who said “We gave up our entire workday, stayed in the cold. My kids were crying,” said one man. “They went home with my wife. She was out here in the freezing cold all day. I feel like I don’t want to support Sarah.”

I’m crying too. . .with laughter!
Sarah the Savior of the Nut-Baggers didn’t come through? Gee, what a shock.
Gee.So Sarah isn’t “theirs” after all. Who could have suspected? Will they finally figure out that she’s a dumb, untalented weasel on a totally unjustified ego trip who only cares about herself and not them at all? Or are they too busy screaming at “socialist Nazis” to make even that simple connection?
I don’t think she did anything actually wrongJust unwise. The book signing was set for a certain time slot, and she has family and other obligations to tend to, like other mothers.
I think this speaks more to the Palinites’ fickle fanaticism than Sarah’s work ethic. Once they’ve dumped her, who will they move on to?
no sympathyI have no sympathy for those who have given her any credibility. She probably just had a sudden urge to spin her head 360 degrees and spew green vomit and more mad gibberish (more than usual), so she “bailed”. They’ll find some other amazingly disgusting fountain of blather to follow.
Killing her popularity 300 fans at a time, who’ll tell 10 people who’ll tell 10 people*smiles
On Deseret News they had a story she’s going to UtahI could tell them this story, but suprises are so FUN.
Hee Hee Hee, What did they expect? Unlike other right wingers who write Comic Books that have radio and television shows that require ratings, Bible Spice doesn’t. She will bilk the fools for all they have and laugh all the way to the bank.
So a few took the whole day off from work. Was that paid time off? Gee whiz, as you dumb asses support insurance companies sticking it too you, why bitch at Bible Spice?
It was Borders,NOT Barnes and Noble.
“I have no sympathy for those who have given her any credibility.”For me this includes the wall-to-wall coverage that MSNBC gave her the day of her alighting in Grand Rapids.
Seeing all of the people entranced by the Mooseland Moron was like seeing all of the people who’d been driven mad by Sutter Kane in In the Mouth of Madness. There’s no excuse for legitimizing such insanity.
This mobmay prove to be a great danger. It eats its own; what might it do to the country?
Columbus Ohio book signingThey solved that problem at the Columbus book signing. They only handed out 500 wrist bands.

Pull quote: Borders doors opened at 10 a.m. and those who had waited the longest 18 hours in some cases got their wristbands first.
The first 500 people received a wristband and they are guranteed a chance to meet Palin and get their book signed.
That is a change Palin’s staff made in response to large crowds originally there was supposed to be 1,000 wristbands handed out, Hogan reported.
TwilightIt’s the only fandom they have left.
Strange parents who would keep their kids out in the “freezing rain” all day to get a worthless signature on a book. Palin and these people deserve each other.
“We gave up our entire workday, stayed in the cold. My kids were crying,”“They went home with my wife. She was out here in the freezing cold all day. I feel like I don’t want to support Sarah.”
But they will anyway, Conservatives all seem to suffer from a weird kind of Stockholm/Battered Wife Syndrome; they always go back to the ones that hurts them most.
Sarah hit me – and it felt like a kiss !
har har har
Good griefI can dig waiting outside overnight for a video game, but dragging your entire family with you just so you can get your prettied up and bookbound trash signed by the garbage lady herself?
These people REALLY need to analyze their priorities in life.
“You are just as selfish as everyone else in Washington.”Duh.
Who wrote that article??They can’t even write. Punctuation, anyone? Changing of tenses?
As if Battered Wife Syndrome is funny?…??
Well a course they was pi$$ed off…It’s not like they was gonna akshully read them books. But that Palin signature woulda made ‘em worth a fortune on eBay. Heck, I’da stood in the rain for a few hours too, if I coulda made more on eBay than workin’ down at the whisk broom factory for a day! :)
Ah HAHAHAHA!I have a co-worker who was going to go to that! I can’t wait until Monday to ask her if she actually made it.
Best comment ever -BetsySarah, I just bought your book. After hearing all the criticism, I am going to read the book and I will know first hand what is in it myself and will not rely on others to tell me what they read. Here goes!!
Apparantly she was NOT planning to actually read the book until she read the criticism. LOLOL
