Sarah Palin: Gas Prices Are So High We Might Not Finish Our PAC-Funded Vacation (VIDEO)

Plenty of Americans are worried about whether they’ll be able to pay for their family vacations this summer due to the high price of gas. Sarah Palin is worried that her PAC won’t be able to afford it.

In an interview that aired last night with fellow Fox News employee Greta Van Susteren, Palin said that there are a few reasons she’s refusing to give the media a schedule of where her bus is headed next.

“There’s different reasons why we are not going to broadcast it to the whole world. One is security issues. Another is if the price of gas climbs much higher — right Todd — we are not going to be able to go too far,” Palin said.

“In fact, one of the decals on the bus says ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ over the gas tank to remind people when you are playing close to $5 a gallon you can’t go too far in a rig like this,” Palin said.
