Via Politico: Sarah Palin cuts vacation short:
"In an attempt to ‘go incognito,’ I Sharpied the logo out on my sun visor so photographers would be less likely to recognize me and bother my kids or other vacationers.
"I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago.
"Todd and I have since cut our vacation short because the incognito attempts didn’t work and fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun. So much for trying to go incognito."
Ok, there really appears to be only two options here:
1) She is dense enough to think that a) after running for the Vice Presidency of the United States and coming off a book tour that drew international press attention that she could go “incognito” and b) using a sharpie to color over “McCain” on a visor1 wouldn’t be noticed and be interpreted as some sort of message.
The visor in question:

or
2) She knew full well what she was doing and intentionally drew attention to herself and is being disingenuous about it now.
Neither is an especially flattering possibility.
