Sarah Palin LIED! And We All Feel Really Shocked and Betrayed.
Sarah Palin LIED. It’s true. I’m shocked, SHOCKED I say. I know….(patting the back of your hand). We all feel very betrayed, and stunned by this sudden change in character. We thought we could trust her, but ooohhhhh we were so naive. (shakes head and dabs eyes with hanky)
Here’s the whole sad story.
Seems like the RNC invited the Governor to attend their Winter Retreat in Washington, D.C. this past weekend. Palin politely refused for a very good reason. You see, the Alaska State Legislature meets for only 90 days a year. That’s a mere 90 days to get a whole lot of work done. It used to be that the session was 120 days long, but Alaska voters felt that this was allowing the Legislature too much time to accomplish the business of the state, so they cut out 30 days.
This means that noses go to the grindstone, shoulders go to the wheel, and other body parts go to the wall to get things accomplished in a very limited window of time. So, Sarah Palin can’t just go traipsing all over the country for any old reason, even if it’s the RNC’s Winter Retreat. It’s natural that they would want a nice inspirational speech from their recent Vice Presidential nominee, but they’re just going to have to understand that, and she told them so. She does have her priorities.
Retreat organizers tell ABC News that Palin politely declined, giving a perfectly understandable reason. According to the Congressional Institute, which hosted the conference, Palin said she simply could not make it to the retreat because pressing state business made it impossible for her to leave Alaska this weekend.
And what was this pressing business that kept her in the state? Perhaps it was dealing with budget issues, or meeting with legislators, or mayors. Perhaps she traveled to Emmonak, or another remote village whose residents are going cold and hungry this winter after the collapse of the Bristol Bay salmon fishery. Perhaps she just wanted to be around in case the volcanic Mt. Redoubt blew its stack and dumped ash on Alaska’s biggest city. There are just so many things….what could it be?
“Waaaaait a minute,” I hear you say as a little light bulb goes off over your head. “I remember reading about her attending some swanky dinner party in Washington D.C. on Friday night at the home of a GOP fundraiser. And she was filmed with Meghan Stapleton and that very same fundraiser, Fred Malek, arriving at the even swankier Alfalfa Club dinner on Saturday!”
Well, there’s no pulling one over on you, is there! Apparently Palin assumed that the RNC just wouldn’t notice that their VP nominee was actually IN Washington D.C. when she told them she couldn’t possibly leave the state due to pressing business. Ruh-roh.
“She lied to us!” wailed one Republican at the retreat.
While this bald-faced lie apparently shocked and surprised some Republicans who obviously haven’t been paying very close attention to their adorable new “icon”, others were not particularly affected by Palin’s lie or by her non-attendance at the event.
Quoth House Republican Leader John Boehner, “Whatever.”
Maybe there was a good reason, like the Alaska business was -in- Washington, both of them … also…
But I had such FAITH in her truthfulness! Where is the Kleenex?
yet despite all of that….(from Huff Post)
“According to a recent Rasmussen poll, a plurality of Republican voters think the party has grown too moderate over the past eight years, and a majority think the party should become more like controversial Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.”
wow…our work is never done….
And it’s pretty obvious to me that one of the main reasons she chose the Alfalfa Dinner is because she was just SURE she had a chance at their faux presidential nomination. Can I go eat a cardboard box now to get this taste out of my mouth?
Martha Unalaska Yard Sign said: “…because she was just SURE she had a chance at their faux presidential nomination.”
Who did get the faux pres nomination? And did SP get to give a speech? Anyone know?
Vernon Jordan. And no speech from herself. AKM
Sarah Palin lied ?!?! Unbelievable………
Palinocchio.
oi vey…
Kind of like when McCain lied to Letterman……speaking of Dave – Blago is scheduled this week.
Oh, and that reminds me of McCain canceling his date on Late Night With Letterman, supposedly to bail out the country, when he just went to do an interview with Katie Couric instead … tisk tisk also
@ nabrum
As per AKM:
“The honor, instead, went to high-powered attorney Vernon Jordan”
And no, she didn’t speak. Thank god for the safety of the crystal and everyone in the room. She pretended to ignore the press so we would all think she was really there on ALASKA business (which she says about 150 times in her dumb interview outside the Gov’s Mansion shortly before she left). She’s getting better at this lying by the day!
Vernon Jordan was the nominee this year and Palin did not speak. Cool.
ot: Ashley Judd has a new video going after Palin, go to http://www.eyeonpalin.org . She is going after her because of the wolf killings, and more.
SHE LIED?!?
yeah weill.. are the republicans only just figuring this out?? It ain’t rocket science and it has been SOOOOO obvious for sooooo long.., it doesn’t inspire much confidence in their powers of observation and deduction…lol
Well now!! Is anybody surprised that she lied? I thought lie was her middle name.
Dinner with Fred Malek – well, just google “Malek Nixon” and read about how Malek lost an appointment to the Republican National Committee when it was recalled that he tried to “uncover” Jewish people working at the Bureau of Labor Statistics for Richard Nixon after Nixon became convinced there was a Jewish plot in the Bureau to make him look bad. Of course, Freddie is back in town, now a successful investment banker and friend of the Bush family. Quite a guy to be pallin’ around with. …… Or maybe she just wanted to be out of town when Andrew Halcro’s blog broke the story about how her buddies have been pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars of state money at the crumbling Valley Dairy project. …. or maybe she just wanted to have an occasion to use one of those dresses the McCain campaign bought her. …. or maybe Alaska is already in her rear-view mirror
Well, seem like Newt Gingrich thinks she can get her stuff togehter and run successfully in 2012.
(Gingrich: “If Sarah Palin seeks out a group of very sophisticated policy advisers and develops a fairly sophisticated platform, she will be very formidable.” )
Kudos to Ashley Judd…….

Just a suggestion AKM; you’ve usually got such great graphics, I thought you might like to include Edvard Munch’s, “The Scream” to symbolize our collective shock and dismay. Or maybe Mccully Culkin’s scream… either one..
Its just so shocking !
Or maybe the MSM is out to get her in a gotcha moment!
Love it. Munch it is. And it sums up so very many things about the Palin administration… AKM
“fairly sophisticated platform”…
If it’s sophisticated, it’s not hers!

‘Also’, been looky looing at Team Sarah live chat again, thy’ve just heard the story via Fox of course about SP dissing the repugs. They were already a bit spooked because they think she ‘might’ go for the stimulus. It’s seriously funny to watch their poor little heads exploding.
Before the election when George Will reportedly said that Palin was not qualified to assume the presidency, and also, too, when he called John McCain’s handling of the financial crises “un-presidential”, he knew what he was talking about. George Will is still right on those two, but Sarah just thinks she has to keep proving the point over and over. The crown she’s wearing is the one worn by the jester.
Apparently, it’s only a lie if it’s told to the RNC.

They were arguing about it last night, also, in between squashing Steeler’s fans because that was “BHO’s” pick to win. Very satisfying last three minutes of the game for me.
above @ UK Lady re TS
Oh, here you all are. I was sitting at the other thread wondering where you were, but here you all are talking about “her”. This is rather telling, isn’t it? And I think “The Scream” is the perfect image for how we all feel. Those poor Rs, though, getting lied to like that by the one they think will lead them to the promised land…
Sarah behaves like a drug-crazed stripper. She lies , throws away perfectly good clothes that have been worn once , sh*ts on anyone to get her way , hangs around with dirty old men…….I mean , really……..
Better still…is who else filmed Bible “Thou shalt not lie” Spice.

The few remaining Republicans in Congress might well feel an urge to supersize their wingnuttery, but Palin’s image has sunk so low that the RNC should consider it a blessing to have been stood up.
@ InJuneau – feeling a bit InLimbo? I do the same thing!
The mere fact that the organizers of the retreat told ABC news about Palin’s lie means that she has big problems with the national GOP network. They didn’t exactly circle around SP like musk oxen protecting their golden calf, now did they?

That horrible troll that was here a while…she had on her blog “palin visits Alfafa” and I called her on it course she never published my comment.
They are racist over there TS. And Newt, oh he’s a wack job too. Wasn’t he in trouble before? And now he thinks she the greatest since sliced bread….
She lied…lol!
AKM, Love the “scream painting”
I have this image in my head of a young Sarah Palin with a cafeteria tray in her hand scanning around the lunchroom to decide at which table she should sit ….
Inexplicably, there are some tables that are actually hurt when she snubs them. When she chooses the table of the coolest kid in town, he graciously allows her to sit, but doesn’t miss the opportunity to remind everyone that SHE was the one who wrote “BO = PU” a thousand times on the bathroom wall last year.
Somehow, she thinks this silly behavior will eventually make her Student Body President, but the smart kids in the room know that she will never rise higher than Head Cheerleader.

How can any Republican politician be surprised at Sarah’s lies? All Republican politicians lie; it is in their job description.
I haven’t seen this on here, (maybe I missed it) but at Alfalfa President Obama also congratulated Palin on her Golden Globe for “Thirty Rock” – that must have really ticked her off. Can’t you just see her sitting there with that faux smile pasted on her face……………. thinking “must not look mad, must not look mad”
Ashley Judd = classy lassy. Sarah Palin = Killa from Wasilla. Pretty stark contrast.
I. think it’s going to be very telling how Team Palin handles this. Will they lie to cover a lie, ignore it, or a novel idea, tell the truth and apologize?
2. How will the rest of the republicans take this? This was a blatant lie and not a mistake. I wonder why she did this
3.How will team Palin will excuse this one? Isn’t there a commandment against lying?
Hello everybody!
Sarah Palin and all her shenanigans finally got to me and I was forced to start my own blog! I was really furious when PalinPics4truth was forced to shut down after receiving threats and decided to add my humble contribution and swell the ranks of the anonymous bloggers.

All of these ilovesarah sites are blatantly racist! Its unbelievable they will in same breath claim they are ‘christians’
One troll who was here until AKM threw it out….SPLAT! had a really racist item about the Alfalfa dinner. I can’t understand how people can be like this, but I guess like they are so fond of saying about (Us) “they are not like us”
I say thank god, I’m not like TS or Barbies idiot followers!
Hey that site says PO invited her???
Seen here attending the Alfalfa Club Annual Banquet by personal invitation from President Obama, Sarah Palin is all cougar. Which raises a philosophical query, as a devout sportswoman, isn’t she technically obligated to hunt herself from a plane? That said, I’m a pilot with lots of free time. Governor?
I thought it was that Malack guy or mccain? Anyone know? Why would PO invite HER??????
crystalwolf a.k.a. caligrl (17:52:46) :

That site has most of it wrong. Don’t know where she was going but it definitely wasn’t the dinner. She had her black eeevening gown on for that and I am pretty sure they said it was Malack that invited her. My understanding is that PO is not a member.
I think if she gets any skinnier, she will be joining the hollywood Qtip heads, those terrible anorexic people. Has anyone actually seen her Jog????
I think its a lie. She just is drinking those slim shakes they gave her on the campaign for free.
If she jogged there WOULD be pic. Another Barbie lie.

OK, I couldn’t help it but I did get a little political on my new blog today. It’s all about Sarah and shoes and well, if you want a bit of levity click my name and then visit my blog. I am a shoe freak but only get to wear them when the weather permits. Okay, I’m a shoe collector and really don’t wear anything except a pair of Merrill hiking boots with strap on ice cleats most of the time. But I do like to look at my shoes, carefully labeled and stored in boxes in my closet in Wasilla.
A proper name for Palin? I vote for Palinocchio. I forget who said it, but good on ya! Perfect. Surely some one here can draw a portrait of that.
I heard off MSM tonight that david duke is surfacing again.
He thinks the new head of the GOP is ‘racist’…and he yells at the GOP there will be a ‘new’ party to come if they dont heed the warning.
This all sounds like SP, DD and that ‘ilk’ will use the net to compile an alliance with whom one can only speculate.
If palin&Co thinks they will muscle support from the tubes they will find the whackos, fer sure..
…’think’…that should say ‘think’ not thinks…
Sue – re: Republican job description……..I think it’s in the DNA.
Sarah stated if she had run as a democrat she would have done much better, maybe that is her reason for skipping the rnc!

Too true. And she seems to wear out her welcome fast. I would imagine that McCain wouldn’t spit on her if she were on fire right now. she’s managed to piss him off, piss off the Republican governors, piss off her own congressional delegation, and now she’s working on pissing off the RNC.
And it hasn’t even been six months!
I’m trying to figure out what kind of boots Palin was wearing at the Alfalfa dinner. Any ideas?
I’ve got some close-up pics of them, compared to the Cole Haan boots she supposedly returned to the RNC, over at Progressive Alaska.

I don’t think she pulls them off real well, don’t look good to me. Too shiny for the outfit. Now Jills boots on were classy and so was the look.

Does Ashley Judd count as an anonymous blogger wearing pajamas in her mom’s basement?
“Could they make Palin any .. scarier looking?”

no ‘for sale’ sign; all very mysterious.
A large part of Sarah’s “base” is clueless Republican women. They don’t know anything about our country or the world, so they don’t know and/or don’t care when Sarah lies about political things. But they know etiquette, and Sarah committed an etiquette lie. THAT will anger them greatly. It’s like telling your best friend you can’t come to her 16th birthday party because you have to study and then going on a date with the prom king instead. The women of her base are clueless about things that matter, but when it comes to etiquette, they won’t be fooled. That kind of lie is unacceptable to them.

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. That photo with Bristol in the green top absolutely could be taken a little over 10 months after the 12-4-06 Inauguration photo. It makes perfect sense since all the kids look older.
Btw, I think Audrey (Palin Deception) has made some mistakes with the date (2006) for the “green Bristol” photo because she is NOT using the 12-4-06 Inauguration photo as a reference. I wonder if she is familiar with it? It all makes sense now and Palin Peyton Place has really put the pieces together!
she looks like a bobble head
Just go to http://www.andrewhalcro.com and ready about “Got Milk Fraud?’ Does Palin think she can keep up this charade? It is a shocking, ugly story back up with hard evidence.

It was a failure putting all her high school girlfriends in place and then providing fraudulently acquired funds for 4 farmers who are her neighbors and childhood babaysitters.

It all makes sense now and Palin Peyton Place has really put the pieces together!

Thanks…I was so shocked because that picture has been on the internet for months. So, I wonder if she has been laughing the whole time.

And hasn’t she learned how to carry a baby yet ! This video was on Keith Olbermann last night, and she is STILL carrying Trig like a sack of potatoes – it’s unbelievable !

Speaking of Malek this is a good read

Other points to ponder.
Why was it necessary to have “the Meg” there with her?
Why was it necessary to have her trooper protection guy with her and who paid for his expenses?
Ha, Ha, Ha! I just had a message from one of my favorite authors that said her newest book is out called “A Lie for a Lie”. I immediately thought she must be writing about SP, but then realized she writes much better stuff that doesn’t make your blood pressure zoom.
I am as much on board with this Babygate issue as anyone, and have followed the Palin Deception blog almost from its inception. The thing I have always admired the most about that site is its dedication to flushing out the facts as best can be done, even when the answer does not suit what most of us think happened.
To that end, I have to say that I think Bear is almost certainly incorrect about the date of the green sweater picture. I have read previously that the picture was taken during Palin’s campaign for governor. Sitting at the computer this morning, I came up with the following…if you look at Sarah’s & Todd’s clothing, it appears that the “incriminating” photo was very likely taken on the same date as this one:
http://dwb.adn.com/news/politics/story/8679537p-8574757c.html
…which was published in the ADN in March of 2007, with the photo dated as from October of 2006. It’s the same locale (their home on Lake Lucille), and the time of day/year and the weather look identical.
In addition, a google websearch shows the Zimbio website has a comment that references the photo of the family outdoors in apparently identical clothing–the one that Audrey shows on her main site under Bristol preg pics (not the blog). I don’t want to post a link to it, because I don’t want my comment to get lost in the black hole!
But Google the terms Zimbio+Bristol+green+sweater and it should be the first result that pops up. From there, go to the first reader comment by ackk. While the picture has actually been taken down from the linked ADN article, the date on the story is clearly October 2006, which fits in with the other evidence we have.
I am emailing Audrey, because her site is showing the date of original publication as October 23, 2007, while the Zimbio link tracks back to that ADN article as being from October, 23 2006.
I am not a blogger or a researcher by trade, yet it took me all of an hour to come up with my own results that I think corroborate what Audrey has on Palin Deception. I believe that all the bloggers working on this issue have something to contribute, but IMHO, over the months I’ve seen that not everyone spends the same amount of time on the details, and some get way too caught up in the sensationalism of the whole thing. Opinions expressed on personal blogs are one thing, but failing to do the research only harms the overall purpose, I think, which is to show that SP appears to constantly manipulate her family, the Alaskan media, and the Republican party (among others!).

Yikes…and I just stopped back to say that I’m sorry for not making this a conspiracy-free zone! I know we aren’t supposed to be talking about this here. It won’t happen again. I’d just been thinking this stuff for a few weeks, and it all kind of came out in one fell swoop. Sorry!
Thank you Kali for your very thoughtful comment with regard to the amount of research and attention to detail that needs to be done in order to take on SP. I have felt very uncomfortable reading some of the comments here which have been been full of conjecture and no real facts. It is nice to see a return to reason and clarity.
Truly, I think we would all be more “shocked” if the woman told the truth! Lying is her way of navigating through her twisted world.
Hello…Ms. Palin?? Got some substance to go with those sound bites?
Uh…no, nope…got none!
Truthiness is not her strong suit…
Not to defend her, but that footage of SP carrying Trig is very old, perhaps from right after teh campaign ended and she finally came back to AK to do the work for which she was elected (if only for a few days…), so she may yet have learned how to carry him.

I know that the date has been 10-23-06…but, putting that picture along side the one from December 06 at the inaugeration which is firm date, the age of the children tell the truth. The 10-23-06 would be a wrong date; 10-23-07 would explain why all the children look, oh 10 months older than the 12-06 picture. The faces of the children cannot be explained away.
anon blogger –
Todd is wearing a Palin/Parnell badge on his jacket – there is absolutely no doubt that the photo mentioned by Kali was taken during SP’s 2006 campaign for governor. Sorry to say but there really is no conspiracy with regards to those photos.
@Daisy Daisy (09:16:33) :
Not sure that your theory would hold much water in this state. Alaskans often wear campaign buttons LONG after the applicable election is over. I once saw Robin Taylor for Representative signs up in Wrangell (his home town) after he’d already been a Senator for more than one (4-year) term, so the signs were prob. at least 10 years old and still on display.

Kali you can go to the forum or one of the new blogs that has sprung up
anon blogger, you’re making me go there, and after I said I wouldn’t!
You are perfectly entitled to your opinion…and that’s just what your comment is. My opinion is that, having a number of children under the age of ten, I would often (though not always) be hard-pressed to discern a noticeable difference in my kids’ pictures with only ten months separating each photo. This is especially true if, for example, one was standing in one shot and then sitting in the next (like Piper). Or if one had hair down in one pic and then up in the next (like Piper and Willow).
My opinion aside, the overwhelming evidence points to a picture taken in October 2006. Could I be wrong? Sure. But no one has presented any information that would make me seriously consider another possibility. I think this photo is a dead end. (Opinion–but fact-based, I think!).
Now…I think AKMuckraker set up a forum thread specifically for this purpose. I apologize again for steering this thread off-course, and any other responses I make will go in the appropriate venue.

If you go to http://www.palinpeytonplace dot com/bristol-photo-2006.html
You can see a pic of them all at the inauguration vs. the pic in question. The kids are way older in the latter pic.
Thanks, CrystalWolf! You beat me to it!
This article is very interesting however, re: ethical issues of dud working with BP + a GREAT pic of the WASSILLA house WINDOWS
http://dwb.adn.com/news/politics/story/8679537p-8574757c.html
In an interview during the last month of her campaign, Sarah Palin said her husband would quit his job if she were elected. Asked about that election night, Todd Palin was much less definite, saying he hoped to work something out with BP, for whom he has worked at since 1989.
Todd Palin said his annual wages came to something in the neighborhood of $100,000. Sarah Palin makes $125,000 a year as Alaska’s governor.
@Daisy Daisy (09:16:33) :
OK, somehow my comment disappeared the first time I posted it, so I’ll try again.
Your theory about the photo in which TP is wearing a campaign button meaning that it had to have been taken in 2006 doesn’t prob. hold much water here. Alaskan very often wear campaign buttons/keep campaign signs up WAY after the applicable campaign is over. I once saw Robin Taylor for State Representative signs still up in Wrangell after he’d been in the State Senate for at least one 4-year term; the signs were prob. at least 10 years old and were still on display.
@Daisy Daisy (09:16:33) :
Trying again, as my comments seem to be getting eaten by the internet tubes.
Your theory on the timing of the photo based on the campaign pin prob. won’t hold much water in this state. Alaskans very often wear campaign buttons/keep campaign signs up WAY after the applicable election is over. I once saw Robin Taylor for State Representative signs up in Wrangell after he had served at least one, full, 4-year State Senate term, meaning the signs had been up for 6-10 years at a minimum.
Lied? In what respect Charlie?

Don’t they???? What a coincidence….!
Perhaps her real reason to go to DC was to lobby for her ‘road to Nome’ which given the state of the permafrost is just such a bad idea. . . who is behind that project, and why, when what we really need is a rail link to Canada ?
Planning on escaping soon, irina?
Has anyone figured out who paid for her trip to DC?
She has a new slush fund…SarahPac probably paid for the trip….
Kali, you need to look more closely at the 12-4-06 Palin Inauguration family photo
http://tinyurl.com/aq5k9u
and compare it to the “green Bristol” photo. All the kids look older in the “green Bristol” pic. Marc Lester also took other 10-23-07 family photos and the clothes match for that 2007 date.
Look at Bristol, come on, she looks much different – older and bigger – than the 2006 Inauguration photo so it really could be from that Fall 2007 Marc Lester photo shoot. Kids do not normally get smaller when they get older!
Bear…have you joined the Mudflats Forum? This should really be taken up in there. I would be happy to discuss this even further in there.
I have looked at both photos extensively. I believe all of those Lester photos were taken in October of 2006. You are not showing me anything that leads me to think otherwise. I do not see that Bristol looks older in the green sweater pic. Different does not mean older.
In fact, I can turn around and use my own personal example, and say that I have a sorta-niece (friend of the family), who at age 13/14 was stocky. Not overweight, just stocky. Had a little tummy like so many girls of that age do. In the space of about 18 months, she grew to be nearly six feet tall and now at age 17, she looks like a Nordic goddess…and good on her, because some of the cattier members of the family were none too kind about her body shape. Like teenage girls don’t have enough to worry about.
Meet me in the Forum if you want to continue this discussion!
Nisperos (16:24:36) :
Before the election when George Will reportedly said that Palin was not qualified to assume the presidency, and also, too, when he called John McCain’s handling of the financial crises “un-presidential”, he knew what he was talking about. George Will is still right on those two, but Sarah just thinks she has to keep proving the point over and over. The crown she’s wearing is the one worn by the jester.

I thought that the:
Court Jester was the smartest one and the one that could talk back in a nice way. She’s not smart enough to be the court jester. And the Court Jester was the one telling the truth…. She’s just a lying self serving nut job.
