And... Sarah Palin is off!
The former Vice Presidential (and future Presidential?) candidate kicked off a tour of the country yesterday by participating in the annual Rolling Thunder ride-along in Washington, D.C. yesterday.
Donning a black jacket - and asking bikers how they stay cool in leather - Palin hopped aboard a motorcycle (she's just so American!) and joined many others in a ride from the Pentagon to the Vietnam Veterans' memorial.
Does this act, the opening part of her One Nation East Coast tour, mean Palin is definitely aiming for the White House in 2012?
She wouldn't comment on those rumors yesterday, but one veteran made it clear he was offended if the former Governor used this rally for any political purposes. He told Fox News:
"If she's here to support us and our troops, past, present and the ones that's name's written on the wall, that's fine. This is not a political event other than to call attention to the accounting of our MIAs, KIAs that have not been brought home."
