Jeremy Olson Throws Tomatoes at Sarah Palin During her Appearance at Mall of America, Misses & Hits Police Officers Instead

I visited Chicago Now's Message from Montie blog and I was surprised to see that Sarah Palin almost found herself in the middle of another controversy. But I must say, luck was on her side during her appearance at the Mall of America in Minnesota for her book signing. You see, Bloomington police said Jeremy Paul Olson, AKA Jeremiah Wobbe, threw a tomato near her, but he missed. Instead, two officers were hit by tomato fragments instead. Olson was arrested and was booked on assault and disorderly conduct charges.

According to WCCO, people on the second level balcony, where the tomato was thrown from, helped police apprehend Olson. He came ready for action because officers said when they arrested him, they found two more tomatoes. I hate to say it, but I was kind of hoping she would have gotten tomatoed, like Ann Coulter got pied in the face.

Palin was at the mall signing copies of her book, "Going Rogue," for four hours Monday. In classic Sarah Palin style, she did not address the crowd, but did speak individually to owners of the books she signed. You see, she is far from being the average Joe she claims to be, flying in a private jet instead of riding on her tour bus all the way.
