Sarah Palin blames speeding ticket on Sammy Hagar

Seriously?!?!?!

http://nypost.com/2014/07/23/sarah-palin-caught-speeding-in-her-hometown/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow

The former Alaska governor was pulled over in her hometown of Wasilla last Wednesday for going 65 mph in a 45-mph zone, according to TMZ.

She told cops that Hagar’s classic “I Can’t Drive 55” was playing on the radio and inspired her to push the pedal to the metal.



This woman gets worse and worse everyday. No comment from Sammy Hagar on this . . .

Been listening to a track by say, the Beastie Boys or the Chemical Brothers, and started going faster than I thought I was.

6. A good friend of mine was pulled over for speeding.

The cop asked him why he was going so fast, and my friend just looked at him then hit play on his cassette player.

The theme from the Superman movie started playing.

He was let off with a warning.

7. The "Paul Revere lovin' True Patriot" was driving her Toyota Tundra at the time.

Sure the Tundra has a supposed 75% domestic content, but what is not reported in that sales transaction is the $8-10K in profit that is sent back to the Japanese motherland of Toyota.

The profit margins are so high on trucks, that's why many of the automotive assembly lines retooled to make SUVs back in the 90's.

So when people make snide comments about Sarah Palin and "Tundra," are they referring to the tundra of Alaska or the "rice-burning Tundra" that those "Coal Rollers" protest about?
