PALIN FLEW IN PRIVATE JET WHILE PRETENDING TO BE ON BUS TOUR
The Daily Beast - On her book tour, Sarah Barracuda pretends to be one of the people. But she's really winging across the country on a private jet.
As much of her entourage, including HarperCollins publicist Tina Andreadis, risked a collective case of White Line Fever, covering more than 3,000 road miles during the book tour's first week, Sarah Palin herself seems to have remained above it all, apparently cosseted in the luxury of a Gulfstream II 12-passenger jet rented from Universal Jet Aviation of Boca Raton, Florida, at a cost of more than $4,000 per hour.
More than two weeks ago, quoting Andreadis, USA Today reported that Palin would be "making two and sometimes three stops a day, traveling in a bus painted with the cover of her book." And just before the tour started, Palin herself said on her Facebook page: "I'll post our progress from the road." To further the illusion, the populist heroine gave televised interviews from the bus, including one to Greta Van Susteren en route to Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

It seems now that Palin hasn't been on the bus, except for short hops between local airports and hotels and book-signing sites. Instead, as first reported by the Alaskan blog Palingates, she's apparently been aboard UJT750, the Gulfstream American twin-jet that she first boarded at Westchester County airport shortly after noon on November 18, bound for Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the first stop on her tour. . .
