Sounds like an issue worthy of Juan’s full attention.

That explains Sarah, how does he explain how the rest of us have “blacked him out”?

I put a razor to his name on old bumper stickers, it just reads Palin.

Seen a few other stickers the same way - the razor blade is catching on.

Why didn’t Sarah just buy or pack a visor with no logo on it?

With the media on her back like a pack of rabid dogs, she didn’t see this feeding frenzy coming?

Just asking...

Maybe instead your question should be why this is considered “NEWSWORTHY” by the same Junk Media that is STILL ignoring Climategate.

My guess is that it was the only visor in the room and she thought (wrongly) black it out and have a good day.

It would be a shame to have all life reduced to such calculations of the trivial.

Is he really that dumb? You want to avoid recognition while on vacation in Hawaii? Go to a tourist shop, buy a visor that says "Hawaii" on it, and you'll fit right in. Take a visor, haphazardly scratch out what it says, and you're guaranteed to attract stares from people wondering what you're hiding. But I suspect that was the intent all along.

McCain’s comment wasn’t needed. Good try, John, but not good enough.

I did the exact same thing. My dad saw mine and asked me to do it to his too.

Because Lord knows that there is absolutely nowhere in Hawaii to buy a new visor, is there?

Personally I think it’s because they can get a rise out of her or her supporters...... If all this was ignored by both then they’d get tired of it if they weren’t getting no response. JMO...

Maybe she didn't feel like spending $10 or so bucks buying another one and decided the use the old one.

Exactly. She obviously did this to make a point, which is fine. But now everyone is trying to pretend like she wasnt doing it to make a point. The backtracking is not making her look good, to be honest, and she needs to look good to people who dont post on Free Republic to win anything.

Palin made the news again. That is the calculated intent, and it was successful.
