Palin "filling her pockets"?

....................................
Palin’s Bus Tour is Hot Topic for Commentators

It’s open season on Sarah Palin.

TV commentators had a field day Tuesday riffing on Palin’s self-styled “One Nation” bus tour ...

And yet, Palin is trying to persuade everyone that this trip is not designed to drum up publicity for a possible presidential run.

Well, predictably, TV commentators Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert weren’t having any of it and they skewered Palin’s bus tour on their respective shows on Comedy Central Tuesday night. ... (Watch the Colbert and Stewart segments here on IndieWire.com.)

Palin’s fundraising was no joke to MSNBC’s Martin Bashir, who bashed Palin on the NBC-owned news channel on Tuesday. He accused her of violating the rules for displaying and using the United States flag, saying she’s using it wrongly for “financial purposes.” (Watch the Bashir commentary here)

“She drapes herself in the stars and stripes and makes millions of dollars in the process,” Bashir scolded. “This [bus trip] has nothing to do with the presidency and everything to do with filling her pockets!” he declared.
