Palin says she was doing her civic duty (Has jury duty)
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer / The Politico ^ | June 22, 2011

Posted on 06/22/2011 6:33:12 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Via POLITICO's Juana Summers, Sarah Palin is throwing water on reports she'd ditched her "One Nation" bus tour, with a Facebook post saying she will be performing her civic duty:

"As I said myself at the end of the east coast leg of the tour, the summer is long, and I'm looking forward to hitting the open road again. The coming weeks are tight because civic duty calls (like most everyone else, even former governors get called up for jury duty) and I look forward to doing my part just like every other Alaskan."

Journalists would be happy to make a scandal out of anything under the sun, except for the misdoings of democrats.

The PDS Pantsload Patrol thoroughly humiliated themselves with this today, completely and utterly unaided.

It. Was. So. MADE. Of. Awesome. ;)

If I were guilty, I surely wouldn’t want her on my jury!

I can’t imagine that any lawyer for either side would want her on the jury. The court house would become a mob scene....

Sarah is doing a terrible thing by actually performing jury duty? If she got out of it by lying and scamming like a lot of people do, they’d be cracking her about that. I say the media sucks.

i’m sure she could get out of it if she wanted. it does seem like she’d bring more attention than was needed. unless she already did it and it’s over with. I think Gov Palin would rate a not guilty among freepers.

Could be a plan devised by leftists in the legal professon to tie her down in some long trial to keep her away from the presidential race.

3 weeks ago I thought she was definitely running, now I’m 50/50 on it. It feels like she’s losing momentum honestly. I wish she’d announce tomorrow.

I with you. I could see the defense using it.

I’m assuming she’s only talking about jury selection where I think either side would want her removed.

If you were charged and knew you were guilty, would you want Sarah Palin on your jury?

Yep, typical. The media puts out headlines to trash her (’quitting’ her bus tour), and the usual message-board scumbags use it as an excuse to pile on. All the while, she’s up in her home state fulfilling her civic duty.

I’m pretty much to the point that nothing could cheer me more than the sight of these media slugs all hanging by their necks from lampposts, from coast to coast. God knows they richly deserve such a fate.

June 1, ABC News, in part:

Palin confirmed that she’s going to Boston after New York and that after the northeast, SHE’LL GO BACK TO ALASKA BEFORE RE-LAUNCHING THE TOUR - called the “One Nation Tour,” after all - on the West Coast.

She told ABC News about her plans after she leaves the northeast:

“Go back to Alaska - in fact today, Willow [the middle Palin daughter] already had to get back to work so she had to leave - go back to Alaska, come back on the trail again, and take the tour west as the summer progresses.”

Asked if she’ll go all over the country, Palin said, “that is our plan, our tentative plan, anyway.”

Also....she’s been called up for jury duty.....AND IF YOU THOUGHT THE OJ TRIAL WAS A CIRCUS!!!!

It would definitely be a first, as far as I know, if she were to actually sit on a jury in Alaska. Wonder if she’d be named jury foreman? Is there any reason why she wouldn’t pass the selection process other than it would create a media circus full of slobbering journalists from all over the world, waiting and baiting for scraps of info? On the basis of what, except the usual , uh, “bias” perceived by one side and agreed to by the other, would she be deemed unacceptable?I hate to even BEGIN to think about the media coverage no matter whether she was part of a unanimous verdict, or was the lone holdout out of principle.

I don’t know — she’s got a little guy, so little. I love Sarah, but if she waits til he’s a bit older, she’ll be fine.

As long as Sarah kept it quiet long enough, at least for these moonbats to hit their head in the kiddie pool, it’s all good with me. :^)
