When do you suppose was the last time Mr. and Mrs. Obama, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton or any other leading Democrat spent a night in a La Quinta or similar establishment? Bueller? Bueller?Another thing: You know that Heather wouldn't be caught dead not adding the appellation "president" in front of Barack Obama's name, but no such courtesy for Governor Sarah Palin.

Or even Plugs Biden.... they haven’t done anything like this in forever

Great story. Thanks for posting it.

Shouldn’t this be bumped to Breaking News?

Very nice, and very typically Nebraskan. Anyone who doubts that North Platte is the real deal should read the story of the North Platte Canteen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Platte_Canteen

In WWII, North Platte was a tender point for steam troop trains, and a 26 year old woman got the idea that the people of the town should meet every train that passed through, to show their support for the troops. And through the depths of wartime sacrifice, scarcity, and rationing - they did. All six million servicemen, every train, every day. This is the America many of us remember so well, and are hoping can return some day.

Meanwhile I guess we have to put up with burning oaks telling us Palin is a silly woman and snarks passing judgement about the type of character and values we need in a national leader

When is the last time a democrat (see Sharpton, et al) actually paid for a room at a hotel, much less stayed at a La Quinta?

Want to bet that Gov. Palin left a tip from her own pocketbook, rather than sneak out while a staffer gets stuck with the bill (Yo! Hillary!)

Sarah Palin's Awesome Ping List!

I wonder how many PDSers this thread will attract?
Hmmmm, maybe there’s already one ...
Good night, God bless and keep you all.

La Quinta isn’t the Marriott or Ritz Carlton, but they are pretty decent.

Here's a great bad hair day.

“...La Quinta Inn and Suites, where Palin was staying.”

Love that about her. Nothing fancy, just LEADERSHIP by EXAMPLE.

Granted, I’m sure there are many, MANY perks to being Sarah - but first, you gotta be Sarah! :)

...Heather wouldn't be caught dead not adding the appellation "president" in front of Barack Obama's name, but no such courtesy for Governor Sarah Palin.

Considering the source of the story (World Herald aka Weird Harold "out here"), anything positive was edited out even if the reporter screwed up and included it in the first place.

OTOH, didn't seem to be much snark in the story, even if I didn't read all of the thing....
