Sarah Palin and the Alfalfa Club.
- Now THAT’s an Alfalfa Club that Impresses Me.
Here’s the latest news from our globe trotting Gov.
Next month, Palin will address a gathering of influential conservatives in Washington but before then, the big date in her diary is Saturday’s Alfalfa club dinner in Washington. The event is an invitation-only occasion for some of the most powerful men and women in America.
Usually the president himself speaks at the dinner, though the highlight for many guests is the mock nomination of a future presidential candidate.
But wait, there’s more!
[The Alfalfa Club] is an exclusive Washington, D.C. club for the rich and powerful, founded in 1913. Its sole purpose is to hold an annual banquet each January honoring the birthday of General Robert E. Lee. There are approximately 200 members. Each member is eligible to bring up to two guests to the $200-a-plate dinner. The club always serves filet mignon and lobster.
No press coverage is allowed inside the banquet hall and the proceedings are ostensibly secret, but the Washington newspapers always seem to get a fairly detailed blow-by-blow description anyway. Regardless, the congenial atmosphere lends itself to politically-incorrect humor. In essence the event is just another roast, providing one more showcase for Washington bigwigs to unveil their professionally-written jokes.
One of the highlights of the evening will be a mock presidential nomination, and acceptance speech by the pretend winner. Previous Alfalfa nominees have been Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, John McCain and Ted Stevens. So far, I’m not impressed with the Alfalfa Club. Guess we’ll have to wait and see if Palin is “Miss Alfalfa 2009″.
So, after all that, my question is, will Kris Perry or Bill McAllister be tagging along to join Sarah and Todd for surf & turf? Amid the flurry of new ethics charges against her administration, it will be interesting to see how the personnel, and finances all pan out for this little shindig at the Alfalfa Club. Rumor has it she’ll also tack on some time to attend the RNC Winter Meeting. Maybe it will all be paid for by SarahPAC!
I think it’s time to dust off those “Where’s Sarah?” buttons. The legislature has worn them before to acknowledge Palin’s Juneau-phobia. And yes, both the Alfalfa/RNC trip and the CPAC trip will happen during the 90 day Legislative session.
But if those who voted in the poll in the previous thread are right, then Sarah doesn’t have to worry one whit about what the Legislature, or you and I think, or what engagements she decides not to attend. If Palin goes straight from Governor, to author, to candidate, that solves all her problems.
(“Where’s Sarah?” buttons are available individually or in bulk at The Mudflats Shop! Two styles available to complement any wardrobe.)
We need to bale her up and put her in the barn

LOL
@pvazwindy (15:10:29) :
Oh, good one! I’m sure there must be some unused dairy barns around these days.
Yeah, the dairy barn is right behind the turkey farm….
Put her in the barn?! Out here we bale the hay (yes, she is making some hay with SarahPac) and leave ‘em outside, no cozy barns for our hay. Hey (heh heh), she’s tough- anyone who can field dress a moose (sorry, Brian) can stand a little Colorado cold.
Hmmm…she’s adverse to the Yukon Delta cold, so maybe not.
okay, so she’s going to a fancy DC dinner party and the families in Emmonak are maybe going to get a fuel voucher?
No, Gov. Palin. Don’t worry your tender head another minute about the woes of those dear folks freezin’ and starvin’ in Emmonak. You just let those already hard pressed for money for their own families to send money and food on your behalf. It’s sorta like the blogs community service stuff. But really, we all know that’s akin to virtual socialism, right sweets? Don’t let the honest to God reality of the effects of your mismanagement ruin your good time.Now, off you go honey bunny. Watch your step! You’re about to step into that pile of moose shit you’ve collected and ruin your party shoes.
If Palin goes straight from Governor, to author, to candidate, that solves all her problems.
Except that she won’t be running as a wildly popular, Chief Executive energy expert: she’ll be running as a celebrity with no achievements-a Limbaugh without the ability to “windbag” in english.
Someone commented on the previous thread that this Alfalfa Club dinner is the same weekend that the RNC has its 2009 Winter Meeting… and someone else posted a link to the Federal Elections Committee search page showing Palin has registered as a Presidential candidate for 2012.
If she is going to this RNC thing, it sure looks like she’s going to be the darling of the GOP.

When SP got the invite to the posh dinner she ‘misunderstood’ . When it said “of course, as usual the RNC will supply the outfit”, she didn’t realise they meant a little black dress, white frilly pinny and little white frilly cap.

Oh, come on people, she’s going to help the people of alaska by becoming President of the United States. Why can’t you read the writing on the wall? Why can’t you understand that she can’t help Alaska until she is the ultimate authority of the land, all of the land, all of the states, not just our little piece of America. Gosh, you’re missing the forest for the trees.
(Please take this as “tongue in cheek” I was only trying to be funny and I tried it last night on one of the ADN forums and GOT SLAMMED. Made my day actually.
I think I am going to be sick.
Yeah, what’s with the kid ban anyway? Bristol and Levi are both 18, so they don’t count. Think the dropouts are the ones selling Palins shoes on ebay?
Me, too. Also.
Who wants to take bets on the size of her corsage?
Does she really care so little about the people of Alaska? How many more trips (maybe that’s where the name came from) at taxpayer expense will it take before there is an uprising?
The harder she tries to be POTUS in 2012, the more doors she will be opening for the Democrats. Let’s all revel in her decision to put her hat in the ring for 2012, because it means that we are GUARANTEED at least 4 more years of a Dem POTUS. Not to mention perhaps a Dem majority in House and Senate as the Repugnant backlash begins. She is only serving to further fragment the Repubs and for that we should all rejoice. Within her party she is most definitely a divider, not a uniter and that only makes the Dems stronger.
You are right AKPetMom, she looks insane, makes an ass of herself at evey turn. The GOP is in shambles. Unless the country gets overrun by the Chinese, the GOP has a big hill to climb. I just want to see this bimbo smacked down where she belongs. Add 2 black eyes and a broken nose (from God slamming that door in her face). BANG!
Oh, what the hell, also add another drug bust, a DUI, another out of wedlock pregnancy, her lover writing a tell all (e.g. Greta from Fox Noise), a serious thyroid problem that adds 200 pounds, some nude photos and tooth decay.
AKPetMom (16:15:12) :
Is that like forging the river and circling the musk ox and moving on to be President? Thought so…lol.
IF she runs for POTUS in 2012……..the Mormon will crush her.
The parallels between our Illinois Governor and the Alaskan Governor continue to strike me. We’ve been through the diagnoses: narcissist, sociopath, etc. Not a doctor and don’t play one on TV but I’ll conceed the point. But no arguement that they are supremely self-confident, only listen to the strange tunes in their heads, can do no wrong, are drawn like moths to the flame and care about no one but themselves.
Blagojovich is about to be out of a job, probably this week. It is a painful and ugly episode for our state that has had its share. Please Alaska learn a lesson. If you can’t throw her out vote her out.
The media need to be held accountable. The voters need to be held accountable. The candidates need to be held accountable. As do other elected officials who here, and up there, need to stop their criminal enabling of this kind of behavior.
We don’t know what’s ahead for Illinois government but it has to be better. It will be for Alaska too. And every where else where this kind of stuff is allowed to happen.
Stop it now, before you regret it more than you already do.

Heh heh…very funny.
It has occurred to me that there will be a lot of very rich, classy, intelligent women at this big posh dinner. They are not going to be too thrilled to share the limelight with this little winky, flirty trollop. Lots of snooty noses will be looking as if they have a very bad smell under them.
I doubt that any of them would even be seen dead in ‘red naughty monkey shoes’.
This woman just scares me.
I’ll vote: I think she’ll probably carry an entire Bouquet. Either that or a Minnie Pearl hat w/ flowers and receipt that reads “Property of the RNC.”
Hey, look on the bright side. I’ve been busting a gut laughing at the last two threads…..Get Palin out of politics…..but who else is going to provide us with the bellyaches.
She just not credible….TALK ME DOWN!!!
Well we still have Blago
I bet she is furious about the way he steals all her air time. I think it’s time we start talking about the kids on every single blog… don’t any of you work for the paparazzi? Click, click, click.
Well Irish Girl there is no talking you down, the beotch just keeps comin. Time to throw some sucker punches and lay her out. Oh, wait, she does that to herself. Well, just keep your eye on SNL and MSNBC. Keith should have some fun blather over her PAC Man club -or else they’ll totally ignore her. But who can do that? And miss all those laughs?
@Paula…missed the tooth decay in one of your earlier posts….that should do it!
From Celebitchy: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has decided to send a bitchy little gift to Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Bristol just gave birth to son Tripp, and PETA has sent her a vegetarian-themed onesie reading “Give Peas a Chance”. PETA is just following up on it’s long line of publicity-seeking stunts, but this time it just feels like they’re kicking a young woman when she’s down. Bristol’s not only got a newborn to deal with, but her boyfriend, Levi Johnston just lost his job on the oil rig, and his mother is a wreck. At this time, I can’t help but think that PETA’s just being too mean.
AKM, like your Alfafa Club, much better! And cost less than $200.
Anyone know if PO is going? If he is I think we should put a bug in his ear about her slurping up a $200. meal while the villages starve!
Meanwhile the PAC and the fact that she has actually registered as running for POTUS is very disturbing…I think if Alaska doesn’t do anything to hold her accountable, it will be real hard to nailin’ palin…
I thought once the election was over, we would be pretty much Rid of her, but she’s like a tick, she feeds falls off and gets back on. Disgusting.
If Anyone has any ideas to start to counteract this movement on her part, please post a link to the forum so we can all get started.
After working so hard to see Obama elected, this is very depressing.
Yeah, how many of those right wing perverts would be lovin her if she was 200 pound overweight with snarly teeth? Not one. They say “Prolife” I say, they keep the calender in the john.
You know the difference between an unwed teen baby daddy who left high school to become an electrician and a HS dropout? Nothing, according to Sarah Palin.
Everyone I can think to start with already hates her. So, start by donating to the American Civil Liberties Union -ACLU (who lost a boatload in the Madoff sting) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (they sue KKKers and extreme right wingnuts). Then work like hell for anyone with a brain, preferably Democrats in every area of governemnts from Mayors to Congress(wo)men.
Also, check out local groups who support things like: Birth control (Planned Parenthood comes to mind), sound science education, seperation of church and state, PETA… etc. All of these groups have lobbyists too, strengthen their cause and they strengthen yours (remember all those commercials?)
Rual AK bloggers raise funds for Village Emergency,
Gov Palin rases PAC funds to run for Pres in 2012.
Ok, everyone that can write needs to be sending out this message to every news paper radio and TV station.
Except that may get more money into her PAC, than in the Village Emergency Fund, unless we put the address to the VEF and not SarhaPAC in the New Release.
I just tried to email PO about the Alfalfa club and Barbie paying $200. while villages are starving. I think the website has “bugs” in it because it took 3 times to email, it kept just sending by itself. I did get to tell him progressive bloggers are raising $ and giving donations.
My hope is that if he is attending he will think better to boycott b/c of her. I really, really don’t think he likes her, well you know obvious reasons, but I think its beyond that.
This whole thing is very distressing to me. I don’t know why Alaskans are not up in arms (besides you guys) at her behavior, her ethics violations, per deims, vacations and do nothing attitude. Well, I guess allot can happen in 4 years, huh?
OT: FYI KO on MNSBC noticed Sarahpac site Not authorized by any candidate or Committee AND Contact address is Arlington VA 22207. Whats up with that .
Maybe she better get those Naughty Monkey shoes back from her niece….Oops! They DID sell! For $2,025.00!!
Bidder e***m sneaked in at the last minute and swiped them out from under bidder y***k.
Interesting coincidence, the end time/date of the auction coinciding with the start-up of the Palin PAC…
SarahPAC = Stupid also ran as hillbilly – Pregnant Action Committee
No way is Palin going to beat the Demo’s in 2012, we just will not let the repubs back into Washington DC until we have changed a few thing and made all the voters so happy they will want Obama for another 4 years. Only way she could get elected in 2016 is if every unprotected uneducated pregnant teenager
as twins and the voting age is changed to let 12 yr olds vote.
I think she will be wearing a tiara with her paisley pants and of course, a very large corsage.
OT: Paula Cochran really is a bona fide elitist liberal person. I found her post on an ACLU page.
Great post, Paula! Welcome to Mudflats! And to answer your question — if gay people get civil rights, everyone will want them. Heaven forfend!
Okay, now I’ll go read all of your posts above…
I hope the Mudflats Store has LOTS of “You can’t make this stuff up” bumper stickers in stock. My governor is a comedian’s embarassment of riches.
Quick, someone call Tina Fey outta “Palin Retirement”!!!!!!
Forget a corsage, Sarah will be accessorizing with one of her children. Someone must have told her she couldn’t bring one to the podium at the state of the state address and she had to don that corsage instead
Its no longer a silly little/anonymous PAC

crystalwolf, I went to that examiner website and read the comments. Boy, are they in the twilight zone, Sarah really has them bamboozled. Sarah is the head of the National Guard which is ran by the airforce and she gets briefed every day on homeland security, and secretservice stuff. SSSShhheessshhhhh. It is pathetic that they think shes a great mother and wonderful leader. LOL, I’ll have to go out and start campaigning against her again. Alot of people here voted democrat even though they were republican. Paula was 100% accurate on the ppl here that support her, believe me I ran into a few of them and there is no way that you can talk any sense into them. Very Scary.
If she get’s on a plane and flys off to a fancy dinner, RNA meeting and vacation, I hope at least some of you in AK send her off with some posters and signs, letting the world know how you feel about her leaving her hungry, freezing villagers behind. I’m just so upset about this, and a bit testy as I just had beans for dinner, so I could send another donation to Span AK. If all the Repubs that go to those fancy dinners were feed spam and sent the money they saved to hungry people, I’d say go ahead have your fancy balls and banquets, but it just makes me so angry to see how much they waste when they could be doing something good for their community.
here_in_PA: Yeah talk about wingnuts! There must be a book out this guy was quoting it like the bible, Sarah Palin take on oil or something like that. I just went to the FEC site, hoping maybe someone had posted that as a joke, its not…I found it on there. I’m very depressed.
I’m mad too! I’m made at Alaska’s stupid AG for not doing his job.
LOL, when she came to Pittsburgh for some kinda event, while she was campaigning for McCain, alot of protesters were outside the building w/signs and stuff. Where is this dinner at? Maybe that can be done also, have signs about her ignoring the villagers while shes eating her meal. That would be a hoot.
Yepper, I have been discovered. A real live liberal and I used my real name (to ward off republi-pires). Thanks for allowing me to join you
Peaceful Granny, Bless you, sweet lady…? I went to whitehouse.gov and left PO a message, if he is going and hear’s about how barbie is not doing anything to help the villages and paying 4200/plate maybe he would “not go?” remember when Hillary was invited to the Jewish event during campaign and when she found out Barbie was invited, Hillary “uninvited” herself. I tried to let him know how bloggers and everyone was pitching in with money and donations. Something is buggy with the new whitehouse website compared to his change.org. one.
Oh, this whole thing is getting me way too depressed. I thought that door from the sky would be slammin’ her ass out…..
Sorry should be $200/plate
Yes Alaska. Put a lot of light on her a$$ and protest with bullhorns, signs, yelling and pictures of the rural babies and elders freezing and starving as she flies off to her $200 dinner.
If this hideous inept cretin of a woman cant take care of the state of Alaska, how in the hell does she think she can be POTUS? She is truly insane and scary and must be sropped by any means necessary .
Just tried the S pac sight and it’s down…said:

Oh its still there….http://www.sarahpac.com/
The Mormon will beat her like a drum IF she even makes it that far………house-gate baby !!
someone posted on ADN that she posted her announcement on her face book at around 11:30 AM. She just like to jab in the face. Breaks all kinda ethics code. Oh, well, every crook gets caught sooner or later, lets just hope its sooner. She’s such a FRAUD.

Yepper, it’s true. This dixie dinner will be where she tries to start her 2012 platform. Bring the bimbo on! Let the laughter begin. As soon as you see who (if anyone) backs this bozobrained nitwit, go into action campaigning against them. Each of us -from our own states, need to step it up and oppose anyone who thinks this dingdong is going anywhere but home in shreds.
Me thinks her little plan may have backfired. Now “Channel 2 News tried to speak to Palin directly about all of this and were told to call the political action committee in Virginia to find out if the governor could make time.
The PAC said Palin was too busy with state business”
I bet she is doing CYA business… (cover your a$$) and trying to pack those pretty borrowed red jackets, so she can sell em again down the road…
Boy, Bush, Cheney, and Rove sure did a good job of dumbing down the masses.
I don’t know who I have less respect for – Palin the GOP prostitute, or the GOP pimp machine.
I do think she’s on a slippery slope and 4 years is a ways off.
Bless her heart, though. She sure does give AKM loads of material.
It’s not just Conservatives in this Club.
http://www.nndb.com/org/692/000051539/
So, who invited her? McCain?! Notice ConvicTed is an inductee.
Interesting, thanks for the link, Blue Idaho.
@Blue Idaho that link you just listed has direct links to all the member’s webpages. I wonder how many emails we could get off to them asking them to help the AK villagers and leave the AK home to boot?
Enjoyed this post from ireport: “Sarah has to buy her way into the elite circle. Comes as no surprise. I wonder if the subject at the table will be Sherry Johnston and if Sarah will bring her along in her next campaign?”
I meant leave AK Gov home, sorry AKM and other AK bloggers.
And you can bet her “50% Green Alaska” stunt is just her blow hole to nowhere. Alaska, you are screwed. What will she being doing the next 2 years? Working for whom? Get that village documentary underway NOW. And get every viallager from Canada to Barrow reg to VOTE.
And start talking about her kids again, everywhere and about everything. That seems to upset her more than anything. Blogger blog away.
The year was 1994 and the gender gap was broke. Guess who cracked the glass ceiling? None other than Hillary. And now we have Alfalfa (Sarah) sitting next to McCain (Spanky) at the Alfalfa Club. Wonder what the little rascals are plotting? McCain finds SP mystifying
@pvazwindy , that a good one….
McCain hates Palin. If he has to sit beside her I doubt he chose the seat!
Also loved Keith O’s blurb tonight on SarahPac he has a blowup pic…I’ve watched it twice now and can’t stop laughing….he’s even got do you have a problem with that? ya betcha, and trukey shots…
Here’s hoping spot takes a whizz on Palins leg.

I would be interested to hear who invited SP; can’t image it would be Uncle Ted or McCain, but stranger things have happened in politics.
I hope the AK media will publicize non-stop all of Her Royal Media Personality’s trips; let’s see how well she governs long distance now that the Legislature is in session. Or is First Dud sitting in for her while she gallivants across country?

I know I have posted this link here numerous times over the past few months about SP prayer group…and I know some might think I have been obsessive about it. But, you have to understand that for 20 years she has been in the prayer group that wants to take over the government, media, education, arts & entertainment, oh, I can’t remember all 7 areas…but she is not going away…and the VP nomination put her soooooo close. This link provides several videos and there is one at the bottom that Glaiser(sp) specifically recognizes SP, the governor of Alaska…http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/11/5/13585/8320/ and they want to displace people from the lands. I know it might sound far fetched, but 20 years of indoctrination…she got this far….and check out the sidebars for additional info. In love, a mudpuppy.

IIRC, HuffPo had an article about how antiquated the computer system at the WH is. Be patient while they dump the 386 PC’s and bring some new Mac’s in. (The Obama people use Mac computers, of course.)

You’re not suggesting Hot Grandpa is governing on Sarah’s moose permit??
Yes, yes, she thinks it’s God. She is insane. She hears voices and such. It’s sad but true. Brainwashed from childhood on witch doctor doctrine. That’s why she is so damned SPOOKY. She is the dark force, we must all grab our light sabers and start tearing down the dark side to save the universe. It is almost like Star Wars, isn’t it?
When McCain was on Larry King (last Thursday?) he said “I think the world of her and her husband….” I\”I’m going to be seeing her next week.” Is she going there or is he coming here?
Hi grewingk! If I wasn’t snarky I’d go mad. These right wing fruitcakes drive me insane. Gov. Dingdong takes the cake (no pun intended).
Illinois’ Legislature finally got the balls to impeach it’s Gov. To bad Alaska’s Legislature isn’t up to the task.
Short of that, everyone is just spinning their wheels on these blogs. Don’t get me wrong, I think Sarah should be impeached, but there is nothing I can do as I live in the L48.
So my suggestion is to start writing and calling your Legislators and post the letters (not emails – those get ignored) and their responses here and on some of the Conservative blogs. It’s amazing how a “put off” form letter from a Legislator gets the buzz going after a few are published.
Get to the people who aren’t active and think that Sarah is doing a great job, on board. Open their eyes.
Get on the radio talk stations. Argue with the Palinistas on these radio stations. If nothing else, it gets the word out.
Otherwise you’re just wasting time typing on a blog and nothing will get accomplished as Sarah is counting on apathy.
I suppose we’ll all find out the newest Palin dirt soon enough. Unlike Obama, I doubt her campaign will be able to keep anything from the press (thus my wish list).
lol Paula
I’ve heard some juicy tidbits but never voiced them <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Muskoxx_Sally
No, I think it is more serious than a fictional character like Darth Vader and the dark side (yes, I have all the DVDs…my son and I love Star Wars…since the first came out). And I do not believe she is insane. I believe she truly believes in her faith and she is totally intolerant of others beliefs as the link will provide.
Oh, nabrum, I write to all the important folks here in PA. One must stay in touch. Editorials are excellent as well (come on folks, if Palin can write you surely can too -you’ve probably even read a book or two). Speak your voice, we’re in America, and as long as Palin is not Prez we’ll be able to continue to do so. Speak Loudy! Shout if you must.
From the Christian Science Monitor-No, no, no. This is not about a run for higher office. At least that’s what the spokespeople at SarahPAC are saying (apparently straight-faced).
Spokesperson Pam Pryor told Alaska’s KTUU that this is all about helping others.
“This is not an exploratory committee,” the spokesperson said. “And whether it was (Sen. Saxby) Chambliss in December, whatever, there are just a lot of requests coming in and this will kind of harness that energy. This is not about a future run for her.”
Yea right. She’s willing to help others as long as they don’t reside in Alaska, to hell with the villages.
I believe she truly believes in her faith and she is totally intolerant of others beliefs as the link will provide.
____________
Oh, I have no doubt about that. But that doesn’t mean she is not likely inflicted with some form of mental illness (Narcissism has been mentioned more than once). And religion -I am sure she beleives 1) GOD opened a door for her to walk through (his will and such) 2) the Earth is 6,000 years old 3) a witch doctor truely blessed her 4) we’re fight a holy war 5) she interprets the Bible literally 6) thinks it’s ‘end times’ ETC. See, that is part of what -in my humble opinion, makes her a wacked out nutjob fruit cake. I have watched her weirdo videos. They are spooky and creepy -as well they should be. She does beleive, I have no doubt.
If McCain indeed did invite Sarah Palin to the Alfalfa Club dinner on Saturday, then perhaps he has a hidden agenda. She didn’t exactly help him and recently he and other McCain family members have declined to speak about her. I did read today that the Alfalfa club dinners have somewhat of a “roast” atmosphere, so perhaps she is being set up to be lampooned by her “peers”.
to hell with the villages……….welcome to the world of Narcissism.

___________Oh my God, that was not on my wish list, but I wish I may, I wish I might, move it to my #1 wish tonight! I have to go look for a shooting star. Be right back….
Whew. Okay. Now I can think clearly again.
Maybe she was invited, got so sure they’d pick her that she opened a PAC, got herself all rigged to run for prez in 2012 and is awaiting her grand enterance only to be roasted. But I cannot say if that was my wish, or it won’t come true
Paula, have you ever done any articles or editorials on Sarah?
Paula Cochran said: “I write to all the important folks here
in PA.”
I’m also very active in my state and local issues.
I’m arm twisting my in-laws in Palmer and Wasilla a bit, so I’m trying. And their glazed over Republican eyes are opening
But it’s going to take Alaskans to really do the job.
Yes, actually I did one before the election. Tore her to shreds over the rallies in PA. I have no trouble saying what I have to say in public -thus why I used my real name. Tired of the Republitards saying annon bloggers. Palin is welcome to call me any time.
She’s definitely got some weird beliefs but doorknobs baffle her, go figure.

All thoughout history wars have been based on religious beliefs…and I try to understand a person’s beliefs rather than dismiss them. Otherwise, I would be like her…. Her ignoring the needs of the villages…makes sense to me when she believes in displacing those who do not believe in her beliefs. It may sound crazy, but extremists have caused misery and death throughout history.
Trust me nabrum -I have a sister in law who if you look up liberal woman in the encyclo, her pic is there. Is an athiest. Thinks stay at home moms are lazy women who give up their power. Voted McPalin so she could support a woman -physiology. I could have thrown up.

Yes, extremists, not God, or people who truely ask WWJD. Jesus would be feeding villagers and hanging out with gay people. Jesus was a liberal Jew you know.
I opened my sisters eyes to Palin, but she still voted for McCain/Palin. Has to do about the guns. Sheesh
And despite right wing arguements, The USofA is not a Christian nation, it’s a secular nation. The word God was purposely never used in the Constitution. Most of the Framers were more unitarian, or secular than todays right wingers like to beleive. Of course, they don’t read, so there you go. Or, like Palin, they are injected with propaganda like “Eskimos and Inidans were so happy to be saved” crap. So, in reality, unless you have supporters who are blathering idiots (like Palins) no one feed into all that mumbo jumbo BS.
Yesterday I was in Juneau
The Governor wasn’t there you know
She wasn’t there again today
I only hope she stays away

Grewink – “386’s” hahahahahahahahahaha!
PA- I am with you. But the Supreme Court just ruled against all the gun bans in the nation. Obama can’t just overturn that decision even if he wanted to. People don’t understand those sorts of things. The high court has spoken. And so it is. Your guns are safe.
Please, AK mudpups; keep track of where SP is when the Legislature is dealing with big issues, or when important meetings are- like the meeting of Alaskan towns SP won’t go to- and write letters to the editor, contact tv/radio stations…publicize that being Governor is not something one can do on a Blackberry, thousands of miles away.
Maybe an increasingly long list of no-shows will convince more Alaskans (and Repugs) that she’s not so effective…even if she can see Russia from her house (thanks, Tina).
Good idea almost. Then you can make a checklist. Was she here? No. There? No. Slaughtering Turkeys live? Yes. At the whatever out of state? yes. Feeding Alaskan children? No. Letting them freeze? Yes.

I could be wrong but I thought I read that missionaries came to the villages some time(years) ago, like they have been doing forever robbing indigenous peoples of their ancestral beliefs…Although I don’t think the missionaries are as extreme as Barbie’s beliefs, they hold the basic anti-birth control etc. Look even today the repub is holding up the stimulus program b/c PO has included funding for BC! Amazing, isn’t it supposed to be a woman’s choice??? I’m not child bearing age anymore, but GD I believe in a woman’s choice!!! When I had to get my son Baptized 33 years ago ( my MIL insisted on it) the priest asked me a extremely personal question about BC. I said yes, and until the pope pays for all my babies born without it…I will continue. He shut up and did the baptism but didn’t like it one bit.
To bad, Woman’s choice!!!!
Yes, they removed family planning. In 2012 they’ll be screaming from the rooftops about unwed mothers, abortion and all the kids on WIC, welfare and free medical care. I’d think birth control would be cheaper than 2 million unplanned children to unemployed parents. But hey, who am I to say?
LOL, at the BC crystalwolf
The thing that concerns me about any Palin bit for 2012 or any other presidentual bid is not SP herself, but those that may back her. If she stays out front as the next “great white hope” she will begin to look good to the puppet-masters that wheeled the war machine money. You got to know those guys are not happy and they’ve got to find a new dumb bubbette to fire up the fear and hate. You know all the money that flew out of D.C right after the election went some place and they are so busy trying to keep it hidden, but it will not take the new crowd in town long to find it, unless they get it funneled out to their next puppet heads.
Do what you like with all these other distractions, but also keep your eye on the ball….the money….follow the money. And see where it shows up.
If she is being handed a big carrot, or just some dumb advice, keep track. Records will stop her in her two steps up three steps back dance as long as we all keep our eyes and ears open.
And I don’t know what missionaries did in villages there. I do know there were not natives anywhere in N America with alcohol problems and rotting teeth before the white man saved them, taught them to drink and to eat sugar laden crap.
I don’t think Sarah is smart enough or diciplined enough to pull it off. We all know she cannot lead nor follow. She cannot keep her big trap shut for a moment. She respond to everything with verbal diarrhea. She will, as she has already, doom herslef in the end. Ambition alone does not win the race.
Holy Cross was a missionary

Well, maybe it was change.gov or something, it was the one that you sign up with and they would send update, then it changed to transition.gov, now whithouse.gov….and their computers are buggy only let you write so many characters, and whacked. I’m sure like Grewink said they will get them up to speed, b/c their campaign site was awesome you could write anything anytime, I wrote plenty about Barbie, to PEO. I also complained to McCains website demand apology for Barbie lies, tirades against PO and now I’m on these stupid PAC lists!!!
Newt sent me a letter wanting $$ b/c they are trying to take “god” out of the square! Then I got a phone call from him a day after the election about flat tax petition, I told him well Obama gonna change the tax code…hehe big silence! Then the next night I got another phone call about outrage how bush is being treated??? So I told them I hope he’s going to get prosecuted for war crimes…Big silence….oh ugh I’m sorry you feel that way…now no more phone calls.
Palins email works just fine. Practice there until the big house gets squared away. I am sure she just loves my emails to her.
PA _ I grew up Catholic. I know right now there is an entire AK village saying they were molested. By Catholics? I don’t remember. Sad story whoever it was.
Religion is fine. Palin is extreme. a.k.a. Dangerous.
How do I change my gravatar?
Yeah, there was, I read somewhere that when they tore the mission down in Holy Cross that there were baby bones buried in the dirt underneath the buildings from the sisters getting pregnant. I was so horrified, it stuck in my mind. Was trying to find the book I read it out of.
Religion, it’s not always pretty.
@crystalwolf a.k.a. caligrl, now I really would like to have PO blackberry addy, just for what he said…so he’s not cut off from the people by all his staffers, protecting him…next best thing find a staff person you can work with. Find out is anyone you know has been appointed to WH staff yet. That’s how we saved the fish in the 70′s, long story…but someone we knew’s kid worked on the WH switchboard and we got through…oh, but that was in the days of phones….we still have them don’t we????
Phones? Like in landlines? Yesh, I still have one. But we can’t use it, it’s a collectable you know.
I’m off for the night. Thanks for having me. Looking forward to more Palin fun. Gives my brain a break from working on, thinking about, researching and writing about “real” issues

Hey who are you on ADN, if you don’t mind me asking?
Granny, that would be awesome to have PO email…. :8
But I also think its so important to him b/c he can check blogs and stuff, when he wants or even read Whitehouse email? You never know, he might just read your email…! I went to a site today, Problem child went too and the people were all wingnuts and spewing hate about PO and saying Barbie was wonderful [ROLLS EYES] And I can’t believe how much hate they spew, but the repubs are all about hate, fear, war, not helping people etc.
I was so happy PO is finally prez, now its ruined by Barbie actually running!
Now we have 4 years to deal with her BS/MS unless the Damn Alaskan Leg/AG would get off their collective BUTTS and impeach her!!!!
That would finish her once and for all.

PalinNot wrote on ADN: What is Sarah doing on Tuesday morning at 11:37am? Why, she’s posting this announcement on her Facebook page: Today at 11:37am (1-27-2009)
Hi Friends, I wanted you to be the first to know that I launched my new political action committee, SarahPAC, today. Visit http://www.SarahPAC.com and stay tuned for updates.

Who is Sarah working for today? The people of Alaska or herself?

Is that Facebook account her new yahoo….way of getting out campaign business on State time? Anyway of knowing if she was in her office at the time she posted on Facebook? If so, that’s a big no, no….and if she wasn’t, her time needs to be docked. Isn’t she already getting her hands slapped by McLoed for doing the campaign thing on government time while running for mayor, Gov and VP.
Sorry Simply Sarah people are watching and now you have lots more folks wanting to know your every move and it isn’t to hard to find out…
It’s clear that Sarah just doesn’t get it. She really thinks that all those rules apply to everyone but her, because she is so perfect. Yech!
Hubby was commenting tonight that a guy that he works with who is a die hard repub was talking with another repub. First guy was going on about how they can filibuster this thing (I assume the stim. bill) and the second guy, who seems to have some understanding of the real world, said “No, there are people hurting. It needs to get taken care of.” First guy still didn’t get it, and hubby is still shaking his head.
Looking at Sarah and listening to her is just the confirmation that there are a lot in the republican party that really don’t have a clue why they lost. They are so out of touch with what’s happening in the US and the rest of the world that they still think they have the best answers – and that only the republicans have the answers. I have always thought they (the republican party, in general) was a tad on the arrogant side, but now they just look silly and down-right stupid in their arrogance.
I’m still puzzled by the who Alfalfa dinner thing. It started in 1913 to honor the birthday of Robert E. Lee? But why? If it’s a roast, are they making fun of him by doing that, or what’s the deal? I just don’t get it. Other than the little four year detour, Lee served his country and his state well.
The thing is, even if Palin is being set up, she won’t get it. I don’t think she got how much SNL was poking fun at her and that it wasn’t particularly done in a friendly manner. But I guess she’s like the disruptive kid in class – any attention is better than no attention. She does like the spotlight, that one.
Pat
Oops – that’s supposed to say:
I’m still puzzled by the whole Alfalfa dinner. . . (not “who”)
Sorry.
Pat
You right, Pat. My uncle who was a Repub and AG of ID at one time, told me rules and laws are for the dumb masses, and can be broken by anyone smart enough to write a new rule and make the dumb ones believe it’s a better rule and they should all follow the new rule, but never expect those smart enough to make up the rules to be smart enough to follow them.
Holy, I missed alot while I was studying. It is shocking that SP is still considering a future in national politics.
As for her extreme beliefs, I have struggled with this issue for along time. I am glad that I am finally over that, but there are so many who support her there and will probably continue to, but I am not scared.
I suppose i was the night before the election, but once I realized that MCCAIN/PALIN didn t make it , that was a huge sigh of relief.
It is hard to say what it will take to get her out, I m sure some people from Wasilla know the feeling. And, just because she is Gov, I believe there are too many people who will go against voting for her, because of her beliefs. It shocked me when she made it in office, and that post re: her church, that is almost cult like and scary. how big is this organization and do they really have an impact on American society? I dont think so!
All we have to do , is pull together like that last election. This seems like, what she is doing, sarahpac, is a way to hide her accountibility. Is all of this legal? I say, if you cant handle the affairs of a small (ALASKA is the SMALLEST, the total population is even smaller than some cities) how can they try to take on,, governing our country. WEIRD!
Oops, too…should be, you are right.
Mrs Palin now has her own personal slush fund to pay for her adventures and keep her secrets. Betcha she doesn’t move her snout one millimeter from the public trough, though.
200 Dollars? Does not seem like a lot for the event it is. Who is sponsoring it? (It is a lot of money to me, but it is all relative.) How much does a speaker get?
VP Biden is a member of the alfalfa club.
OT–Those red shoes went for over $2K on ebay. I wonder what Sarah’s cut was.
Palin , invited to the Alfafa club? Tina Fay was booked, besides Palin will play the clown for nothing.
Wyoming, Vermont and North Dakota have smaller populations than Alaska. (And while I have the statistics page pulled up, the Great State of Texas has 261,797 sq. miles of land and Alaska has 571,951 sq. miles.) But I understand your concern, mt.
When Sarah ran for gov, she didn’t say much about her religious beliefs. Just that she’s a Christian. No thumpy rhetoric at all. We had no idea it was this bad…
If you go look at Sarah’s Facebook page, she spent a lot of time this morning (on a work day) noodling around on her page. We don’t have a viable budget yet, the Alaska Municipal League is in town, the lege is in session and she’s farting around on Facebook, announcing her PAC. We obviously don’t have an adult on the Third Floor in the Capital Building. (3rd floor is the office of the gov and lt. gov.)
You guys will get a laugh out of this — Rep. Richard Foster (DINO, Nome) has the office on the 4th floor that’s directly above the governor’s office. It’s a big, beautiful corner office. Richard loves music. He holds jam sessions regularly, after working hours. When the gov ticks him off, they hold drumming sessions : )
Selfish Person [SP] has been planning this for a while, however, she’s not pulling all the strings – being lead around by the nose like a good ox right before the kill.
Me thinks she’s the bait for the real set-up…where as the Repugs try to regain seats in DC…she excites the base don’t ya know…yeah, she believes in the magic of 2012…
AKM, I really love your picture of Alfalfa club, I like the look of the bread and the sprouts!
I wish it was the sandwich we were really talking about….
Who’s paying for this trip ? That’s what I want to know.
Maybe she’ll bring back a ‘doggie bag’ and ship it to Emmonak.
If McCain is at the dinner……..it’s because he wants to get in her panties. I bet the 2 last bidders on the shoes were Rush and Beck. Either one of those perverts would sniff and caress the shoes and……..
As far as who invited SP to the dinner, Cindy Adams of the New York Post is the one who broke the story yesterday and said it was a “rich GOPnik”. Doesn’t sound how she would have described McCain. But who knows? On her blog, Greta Van Sus. said that Ms. Adams out scooped everyone on this. Speaking of Greta-Before Christmas, SP called in to her tv show and as she was signing off said “Merry Christmas Greta!” Does this nitwit not know that Greta is a scientologist? Classic!
When she gets back from this “open door” , oil will be at $72. Its Gods will.
OT, sorry… but wow.
Holy cow… On this site (that someone posted, can’t remember who, sorry):
http://www.nndb.com/org/692/000051539/
Colin Powell is listed as a “member of John McCain 2008″ group. I had no idea just *how* incredible his endorsement truly was. Here it is, just for the record. http://www.nndb.com/people/649/000022583/
$2,000 for Sarah’s shoes is just slightly less than half what the tissue that Scarlett Johannsen blew her nose in got on Ebay. Of course she reprtedly caught the cold from Samuel Jackson.
Looks like the only people who’ve ever successfully said no to Sarah are her McCain campaign “handlers”. And maybe Katie C.
My hope is with the intelligent people in place in this administration it will set the bar so high that SP is toast before she gets a run off the ground. Look at that Hillary moving along, apparently planning to remain in lockstep with Obama’s “get it done right, and now” approach. She is the real female model, so far.
Anyone know if there are reporting rules or legal ways to find out what the PAC’s are bringing in? We need action and vigilance ongoing to thwart this idiot’s future plans. Just tell us what to do, if anyone has some more good ideas. Appreciate those already in this comment section.
The Republicans have been so helpful for the past few years; Minnesota wide stance, ” I can see Russia from my house” qualifying me for foreign experience, per SP, Duke Cunningham, Libby, Cheney and Bush = we tortured and Gonzales said it was okay, etc. We just need them to keep it up!
worked for Obama………

How about a Sarah Palin Rod Blagojevich ticket–appeals to the bi-partisan emphasis in DC now, brings great hair to the ticket in an effort to show the Republican Party’s willingness to nominate a woman. Questions is, who will be Pres and who VP? Maybe they could play tic, tac, toe, winner is VP
Since it seems that Sarah Palin is judging her popularity based on number of friends on her Facebook page, we that aren’t her friends can now join a Facebook group and let the world know how we feel. If you currently have a Facebook account you can join this group and help the numbers speak for themselves at:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=27408324140
Once you go to the group link above you can login to your facebook account and click the “join this group” button under Sarah’s photo.
If you don’t have an account already you can go to
http://www.facebook.com
and create a new account and then sign up with the group using the first link above.
Since keeping score really seems to matter to Sarah, let’s all join this group and see if we can get more people signed up that DON’T support her.
I can’t wait for the media to get the leak about how Palin’s McCain team up here in Alaska offered the personnel board political favors in exchange for favorable treatment. The timing of the leak will be most interesting.
Just a human in ak: Hmmmm! interesting, tell us more? Links?
Sorry if I missed it, but does anybody know why SarahPAC has a Virginia address and who’s picking up the mail there?
Palin’s history suggests she’s well versed in the crony system, starting with some District 14 Republicans who don’t play fair when it comes to Valley politics. (Despite her being a self-proclaimed reformer, I see the ethically challenged like Ruedrich and the ugly segment of the local Repubs are all still in place.) I wonder who her new east coast cronies are? Surely McCain has learned his lesson after she cost him the election?
Wonder what trouble maker invited her in on his 2 guest pass. If I were Obama and knew she wanted to come to talk to me, I would send my regrets. Not only that, if she is nominated by these republicans members for their mock candidate, it would be really ridiculous to be there as the actual winner of the presidency with this very pushy woman..
I don’t think its funny at all.
Good luck to Palin raising money for her PAC with this kind of nonsense in the news.
