"Sarah Palin was ticketed for $154 on July 16, the former governor of Alaska was doing 63 mph in a 45 mph zone when she was asked to stop her pickup truck.
TMZ.com which broke the story reports that the proud owner of a Toyota Tundra told them:
“I wasn’t speeding, I was qualifying.”.
The Fox News commentator was making a NASCAR joke to explain her ticket.
People on the left rushed to mock the mother-of-five for driving a foreign car and not sticking to her “Buy American” mantra. Since the Toyota Tundra is manufactured in San Antonio, Texas that point is moot.
Other remarks went after the fact for once Palin was not blaming President Obama for something. Despite what her political opponents will say, Sarah Palin ticket handling proves that she still has some of the things that made her very appealing as a candidate on the national stage.
For starter, Palin is very quick on her feet. Her NASCAR’s reference spoke directly to the people she connects most with. She is really close to Middle America."
