Palin’s bus tour causes media bickering on Twitter (journalists turn on each other!)

Sarah Palin’s efforts to confuse the media about her bus tour seems to have worked; she’s turning them against each other.

“I want them [the mainstream media] have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this,” Palin told CNN. This morning, she fooled some of them, leaving her bus behind as a decoy. Reporters have resorted to chasing her bus. All of this confusion seems to have gotten to the press who, understandably, are trying to get the story and do their jobs.

Now, some of the media frustration is playing out on Twitter.

Some journalists believe Palin is behaving like a celebrity, and that covering her may be beneath them.

Since they outright lie as well as fabricate stories about all the Palin’s, why don’t they just sit in a nice cool bar and relax.

For a bunch of really smart people, she sure has them not finding their backsides with either hand.

It’s only Day 3, and the press is already in full meltdown mode.

This is worth the price of admission, just for the entertainment value.

Way to go, Sarah!

After five days hanging out in campgrounds and greasy spoon diners with nary a latte in sight these guys will be climbing the walls!

Tell the reporters (journalist is too professional, which they are not) to do their job or go home. Frankly, neither way does anyone care.

Sarah manning the guns!

this woman is American and fighting for our country despite the nonstop attacks on her and her family for the last 3 years.

3 YEARS!

what they've done to her and her family should be criminal. she owes them nothing.

this is the first candidate i would volunteer to be security / meat-shield for (since Reagan)

Don’t like seeing her so exposed to the public.

As it becomes more apparent that she’s going to run, some homo-nazi may get close enough to shoot her.

That pic was clicked early AM there at Gettysburg, likely a bit cooler in the morning.

Looks like she’s checking her bearings and Todd’s waiting to load the cannon.

Considering she’s living rent free (and Lord knows, there’s lots of available space) in their heads 24/7, she could sublet and make a FORTUNE!
