Whatever you can say about Sarah Palin, the woman knows how to create a buzz. Whether she’s paddling down a river in Alaska with her family and scaring up Mama grizzlies or climbing on the back of a motorcycle in Washington, DC, the former governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate attracts crowds.
Today, Sunday, May 29, 2011 Palin, whose son is in the military, joined a rally with other bikers in DC in support of American war veterans.
Rachel Weiner reports for the Fix (Washington Post):
Palin, along with husband Todd and daughters Bristol and Piper, joined the hundreds of thousands of riders who gather in D.C. every year to raise awareness for prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action.
Palin’s arrival at the event around 11:30 a.m. caused a huge commotion that event organizers struggled to contain. Photographers swarmed her; young men in suits hung around the press pack asking Palin to sign copies of her books. Rolling Thunder security yelled at press and fans not to touch the expensive bikes.
