I knew about, but pretty much ignored, the protests the other day when Caribou Barbie promised to sign a thousand books and then skipped out before honoring her commitment.

Since it makes a nice lead-in to this story, however, let’s take a quick look.

Based on the video (found here), the scene in Noblesville, Ind., at the end of Sarah Palin’s appearance looked more like a protest than a book signing.

Outside the Borders bookstore in Noblesville (wouldn’t it be great if it was a Barnes & Noble in Noblesville?), dejected Sarah Palin fans shouted, “Sign our books! Sign our books!” as her personalized bus sputtered and prepared to drive away.

Some booed as they held fresh copies of “Going Rogue” without a wet signature from Palin. However, they were plenty wet from the rain they had been waiting in.

The estimated 100 or so disappointed fans were reportedly given signed pieces of paper, while some demanded refunds. But click here and take a look at the photo of how many fans there were during the signing.

Palin quickly addressed the disgruntled crowd in a Facebook post titled “Not enough hours in the day.”

There have never been enough hours in the day for Caribou Barbie, who has walked away from nearly everything anything she ever started. College, news gigs, the Governorship of Alaska.

And now, in a neat little twist that only Caribou Barbie can provide us, she walked away from a run.

Yeah. She walked off a run.

On Wednesday, Sarah Palin excitedly announced on Twitter that she was going to be running a 5K Turkey Trot charity race in Washington state on Thanksgiving day. Large crowds of people turned out to catch Palin at the race, hoping to get the chance to meet the former Alaska governor. Palin, however, quit the race early to avoid many of her fans:

Palin had announced on Twitter that she would be running the 5k race organized by the Benton-Franklin Chapter of the Red Cross.

She didn’t finish the race, opting to leave the course early to avoid more crowds at the end. About 40 minutes into the run, word started trickling out to people gathered at the finish line that she was gone.

Wonkette also points out that Palin said she wasn’t going to be making a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving because it was “too much work.”

We all know that work is something the Wasilla Hillbilly avoids like a cat avoids water. And yet, as I troll the right wingosphere today, I see excuse after excuse made for this pathetic quitter.

They is most certainly a lot of stupid white people in the “real America.”
