The Coldest State With the Warmest Governor.
No, the governor has never released one of her infamous press releases about the crisis in Emmonak and other rural villages, and she has not actually gone to visit any of the places where residents have to choose between food and heat. No, she has not utilized her worldwide celebrity in the cause of …oh, I don’t know…promoting a food drive for hungry children.
But she has been chatting with Esquire Magazine and now we have some insight into what she thinks about keeping warm in Alaska:
My favorite place in Alaska is on a cold winter day in my own house, with fat snowflakes falling. In my nice warm home.
Fleece, lots of fleece, and skinny white-chocolate mochas. That’s the best way to stay warm.
Ah! That’s the best way. Maybe that’s the problem. Let’s use some of that stimulus money to put in a few Starbucks on the Y-K Delta. Hey, kid! You don’t have a ‘nice warm home?’ Wanna skinny white chocolate mocha?
I hear letting people eat cake keeps them warm too.
Oh SARAH! Don’t forget your damn tanning bed, either since it’s plenty warm!
how do the patent boots do in them there snowbanks. bet they’re as good as fleece, also.
Thank goodness she can afford to keep her home “nice and warm”.
I’m thinking of a place that Sarah can go to that would keep her NICE and toasty!!
Maybe Marie Palinette can use some of that terrorist-pallin’ Obama’s “socialist” stimulus money to build a latte pipeline to Emmonak, you betcha!
OT, and I apologize, but you have to visit the Daily kos, and listen to the Presidents speach at the Democrats meeting in VA. Here is the link:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/2/5/20241/54713/853/693760
I have a nice warm house too, but I still can take time to help the villages in Alaska. That woman is just out to lunch.
Gawd, why worry about “anonymous, pathetic bloggers”? Doesn’t she worry about the foolish drivel that continues to upwell out of her mouth. I simply can’t stand her which, of course, means she WILL become president someday. That’s how it seems to go.
She is so out of touch, please, please please can we get rid of her???

Barbie left a “press release” about all the help the state is giving (a) village:
February 5, 2009, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin today lauded the work of the multiple state agencies, nonprofits and faith-based organizations that have worked in a cooperative effort to deliver supplies to Lower Yukon River communities affected by high fuel and food prices.
The governor also expressed concern about inaccurate comments made to the media by Representative Jay Ramras that the state has failed to make state assets available to deliver supplies to communities. In actuality, state agencies have used aircraft from the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to fly food into Kotlik, another distressed Lower Yukon River village. DPS plans on providing additional transportation of bulk foods in the future.
“We are working cooperatively with the communities, many legislators, Native corporations, and other entities to address the needs in these areas,” Governor Palin said. “I am disappointed that Representative Ramras failed to express his concerns to my office before issuing a press release with incomplete and misleading information. This is particularly concerning since he knew I would be attending a meeting with his entire caucus that evening. Representative Ramras did not mention the specific issue of using state assets to me personally at the meeting. Instead, I read about it later in the press release. Truly Alaskans deserve better than that kind of ‘politics as usual’. It is unfortunate that the representative sees this as an opportunity to play politics rather than help in the response.”
Funny we have heard nothing about this…and by Faith based org. who does she mean? The only people I had read giving help are the Annon. bloggers!
Went to Tundra Drums, not a peep! I heard Jay Ramas mentioned Alfafa club at least 3 times during the radio show with CC!!!
Awesome!
We need to keep the heat on…
Also excellent article by Shannyn Moore on HuffPo
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shannyn-moore/elisabeththe-tribe-has-sp_b_164511.html
“Ashley Judd is right. Sarah Palin is wrong. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is clueless and should have a nice big cup of STFU.”
Oy, oy, oy. I just keep hoping I’ll wake up and all her recent idiocy (sp?) will have been a bad dream, but I guess it really isn’t, is it? URGH!
I seem to recall when the news first was aired about people might need help this winter, SP was trying to figure out what a VP does. Then when, word came that things were getting really bad, she was well we can all see where she wasn’t, now 25 days later, after everyone on the planet has been asking “Where is Sarah” when her native villiage people need her, and her new arch rival is making bigger headlines than she is…she come late to the party, after she took that little side trip to pal around with the elite. Ok, what has she done…is there a package with her name on it….did she go to the food bank and put her her day of volunteering? Just asking?
“If you think education is difficult, try being stupid.” ( Jim Urban)
Seems written especially for Ms. Palin.
She actually said that? Is she even aware of what is happening in her own state? I know she wouldn’t care if she did know, but … she actually said that?
@Sue (23:02:43) :
‘fraid so…
What about the last paragraph in the gov. web page response to the crisis?
The Departments of Commerce, Community and Economic Development, Health and Social Services, Education and Early Development, Fish and Game and Public Safety and other organizations are continuing to work jointly to ensure residents living in the affected areas have access to all state assistance programs that are available.
To me it reads like another non-response loophole to do nothing. The last three words, THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
I wonder if the Obama people know about the suffering in Alaska. Wouldn’t it look bad for her if the democrats rode to the rescue? : )
OT (sort of) but ouch!

@ charles
“I simply can’t stand her which, of course, means she WILL become president someday. That’s how it seems to go”
Anymore of that talk…and we’ll have to send you to summer camp! She is a joke, and she brings out the worst in people. That’s gonna be trouble for her…
Palin has got to be one of the most insensitive people on earth. Only Dick Cheney has her beat.
Even so, I can’t believe she talked about her “nice warm home.” No conscience to speak of, huh?
…she will get rid of herself…did you ever think that AK politics might not be enough of a mental challenge for her
me neither…
And to read the full text of both of Ramras’ press releases, see Dermot Cole’s column today at the News-Miner:
http://www.newsminer.com/weblogs/dermot-cole/2009/feb/05/food-fight-ramras-palin-trade-attacks-over-response-to-villages/
This imbecile is un-f##ing believable! How insensitive can she be? Even though this interview was given a little while ago, I am sure she was well aware of the dire situations that were taking place in the native villages in Alaska even then. But true to her nature, she did not give a damn.
She goes on to talk about how her favorite place is sitting in her warm house as she watches the fat snowflakes fall. What? These huge snowflakes are the elements that rob the native people of their warmth in their homes and they are not, by any circumdtnces en joying the warmth in their home as the Gov was and is. These same elements are freezing these Alaskan and their children and their elders out, as Princess Ice snuggles cozily in her warm house.
On another level, the Gov. brags about being able to hunt and fish, in order to keep her freezer full of healthy food for her loved ones, with no thought of the young babies and the feeble elders in the native villages that are not privy to these same privileges because of her legislatures.
Then this cretin of a mother, does not instill within in her daughter the essence of love, committment or the give and take in a marriage, She stresses that marriage is a only a business deal. WTF?
Then this incurious dufus, gives this , “Leave it to Beaver” scenario of her child reading to her in their bed, where they all fall asleep in her great big bed. At the same time native children cant see to read in their home because of lack energy or have the snuggly warmth that the Gov enjoys.
Add injury to insult, SP discusses what is the epitome of herself, (but she does not realize it] where she accuses other politicians of making money the be all, end all, and seeking power and where prestige and trying to get and keep a title next to their name is the most important part of politics. Now, Mudpups, is this exactly Sarah Palin’s agenda that she is accusing every other politician of? At the same time, Sarah Palin is the most inept person to hold any office ? Talk me down. Because I sorely need it.
Once again, let’s go back to before her run for VP, when SP canned the guy that was asking for help for the first nation folks, b/c he wouldn’t fire her ex-bother-in-law. Then let’s take a look at that can speech she gave to these same first nation folks at there annual meeting. Did she address their concern or request for assistance by appointing someone that did anything about it last fall when something could have been done to prevent this emergency. Give us a break…her memory is very selective, but ours is not and many of us have been saving the clips, pictures and know the story that is well archived right her on this blog…she will be able to lie to herself and her “base” they want to believe she is their “great white hope”.
She just can’t keep her foot out of her mouth long enough to see what a fool she is. A leader of fools goes down hard…look at Cheney, Bush, and McCain, her hero. They would rather see the tallybandits take over than shut-up and leave town peacefully.
We need to be watchful and aware. Easter comes pretty early this year and this loonietic fringe will be looking for a martyr to string up. Someone is in their sights, I’m going to keep my eyes open I’ve seen hope they operate, they don’t fool me anymore.
make that “how” they operate.
This from newsminer:
“So far, efforts have raised well over $15,000 in cash assets, including funds raised at the upcoming Legislative Fundraiser. Working with Wal-Mart, Safeway, The Fairbanks Community Foodbank, The Food Bank of Alaska located in Anchorage, and dozens of churches in both communities, it is anticipated that this effort will move 20,000 lbs of food to Western Alaska.”
http://www.newsminer.com/weblogs/dermot-cole/2009/feb/05/food-fight-ramras-palin-trade-attacks-over-response-to-villages/
why are we not hearing about all this 20,000lbs of food? We are only hearing about food donated by bloggers! Is this a big lie or what?
I don’t think it is a lie, I think that the bloggers got the ball rolling and after enough people were called, plied and poked lots of people chipped in to make something happen, better late than never. Now, the politicians will all claim they did what no one else could do, same as always. It’s human nature, those that can do, those that can’t yell nothing is being done, that how people are. Those that already have everything blame those that don’t for not doing what they did to get their share. Never mind that the biggest share was already taken leaving very little to trickle down.
……….and the “S.S. Delusion” sails onward thru the fog……..
The free house that Todd’s “contractor buddies” built with “extra” material from the rink……..get your ass to work Sarah !!
“Funny we have heard nothing about this…and by Faith based org. who does she mean? The only people I had read giving help are the Annon. bloggers!”
I for one would not consider myself a faith based anything. Just a person (family), who unlike “faithbased” Palin, has compassion for other people.
Bloggers are the bomb! That’s why she hates them!
The college thing…I said my 2 cents yesterday. Delusional wackjobs. Rrrg.
Everyone have a great day
Go Brian!
“why are we not hearing about all this 20,000lbs of food? We are only hearing about food donated by bloggers! Is this a big lie or what?”
Hey Ann, did you notice a 20,000 pound box of food laying around anywhere?
Good article by Halcro
http://www.andrewhalcro.com/
Shame on Palin, there she goes again making the problem in the villages all about how she looks in a press release, not the poor, cold people that need the help.
Great job, Alaska! We down here in the lower 48 are cheering for you, both that you get through the winter in one piece and that you excise the political canker that flowered in Wasilla and is now making it really hard to chew!
I’m grateful to that dopey wh*** for one thing at least- I never knew how fascinating Alaska was until last summer- y’all are the silver lining of the Palin cloud of doom! Fight the good fight, and toss thiss loopy dame back into the PTA where she belongs!
Bea (22:04:05) :
Maybe Marie Palinette can use some of that terrorist-pallin’ Obama’s “socialist” stimulus money to build a latte pipeline to Emmonak, you betcha!
————–
This cracked me up! I almost spit my nice warm coffee out. I don’t drink mochas, but if I did I would have quit by now in protest.
First thing I did this morning was turn up my heater thermostat on my way to the kitchen to make myself coffee, but I’m sure as hell not stupid enough to use it as a talking point in an interview about dealing with cold in Alaska when villagers have no heat.
I’m definitely going to start calling the Queen Marie Palinette now.
One of the Alaska papers needs to specifically point out that it was pathetic anonymous bloggers who started the food drive, not her agencies and “faith-based” organizations. I realize she would drop dead rather than say that, but somebody needs to say it for her, loud and clear.
Gettin’ the word out about the crisis in the Delta? Big terrorist fist bumps to the ‘anonymous bloggers!” (aka to Palin, et al, as ‘those liberal b@st@rds’)
Gettin’ on the bandwagon? Hearty slaps on the back to the MSM! (aka, ‘more of those liberal b@st@rds’)
The Governess once again putting her Manolo Blahnik shod foot in her mouth? PRICELESS!
Oh, forgot to add–
The Governess (other than with her wingnut supporters on the R fringe) is pretty much a joke.
I live in a very, very R county in FL, but the people are “Country Club” R’s, not wingers. They laugh every time she comes out with some pronouncement. She’s a fantasy for the wingers, not an ideal R candidate.
IMHO, the only way they run her is if BHO is so popular (like WJC in ’96) that they would be better off saving the $$$ on the race. I mean, how much do you hear about Bob Dole these days? It would be a way to get SP to simply GO AWAY after 2012.
Awful…but there’s hope…maybe she’ll burn her tongue on those skinny white mochas…or trip over her bundles of fleece.
Yep, SP knows fleece, alrighty…fleece the bridge to nowhere an us the money else where, fleece the rink an get a house, fleece the first nations and get another oil spill, fleece the wolves, bears and whales…need I go on, and on, and on, like herself?
Fleece…uh huh…fleece her constituents, fleece the struggling, rural villages, fleece, fleece, fleece….
She’s good at something at least. Oh, and how do those skinny white mochas taste in the face of starving folks in your state?
Yum…you just enjoy Queen Sarah…
Submitted by an anonymous, pathetic blogger.
cutting off her blood supply (media attention) is the only way
Dr. Patois: Wow what a link, thank you for posting it. Wonder if the Gov. has heard about it yet, lol…
I would bet that Gov. Palin heard and knew about bloggers making contacts and getting a relief work started. She played her cards right by not saying anything until she was publicly criticized by her peer. Up until that point, she had secretly gathered up info on who was involved in the relief, and used that info as a pronouncement that she herself was involved and on top of the situation, at her press release.
Tactics and manouveurs of a politician. The oldest tricks in the book. Like my elderly mother said, what goes around, comes around. Also, the Good Book says, He will show himself merciful to the merciful.
I am speechless…or should I say wordless. She lacks empathy, self awareness, intelligence, proper command of the English language, and so many other qualities. People are starving, freezing, and unemployed across the US, the world, and in her own state and the only things she can talk about is herself…taking baths with Trig and being in a nice warm house…
Please Alaska, get her out of office…please MSM no more fluff interviews and articles about this deranged sociopath.
Okay, I just read that 20/20 is investigating the dire situation in Western Alaskan villages from a commentor at Halcro’s blog.
This could really get interesting. If this is true, Palin will swoop in like Superwoman to save the day…doncha know..
@woman in can
“point out that it was pathetic anonymous bloggers who started the food drive, not her agencies and “faith-based” organizations. I realize she would drop dead rather than say that, but somebody needs to say it for her, loud and clear.”
I agree absolutely!!
“HER!!!!??? agencies and FAITH BASED organizations!!!!!????
POLEEEZZZEEE!!!!
what a crock!
Was there a can drive at her Wasilla Church that I wasn’t aware of?
but what is written in the press is what becomes history.
congratulations on your prompt and effective response governor.
Eastcoast: Was there a can drive at her Wasilla Church that I wasn’t aware of?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not a word, I looked yesterday after her “Statement” Looked on Tundra drums and they wasn’t anything about food going to Kotlik (hope I spelled right) Just that some of the Leg. had been there.
Yes she is the Queen of “let them eat cake” she’s in DC hobnobbing and paling around with a dogkiller, then going and stuffing her face with fillet minion at the alfafa club while the native are hungry and cold in the villages.
And she BRAGS about how warm and comfy her house is??? Unfrickenbelieveable. Barbie…”Let them eat cake” Palin!
I have always wondered about the ‘let them eat cake’ comment. Recently I read that, in rural France at the time, the French term Marie Antoinette used was a euphemism for dried dung patties which were burned for fuel. That made perfect sense and I believe it is the true gist of what Marie meant. Which makes it very apropo here and now. Also.

It would be nice though if they did investigate it…and where is Dennis Zaki film on CNN?
Barbie so disgusts me…..Did you guys see, some idiot who makes knives is coming for the “Iron dog” and giving her and dud and another guy a free knife!!!! WTF is wrong with these people?
And Barbie will be out there holding poor Trig like a sack of potatoes out in the cold! AssHat!
eastcoast,
I am busting up at your short version of my username, “woman in can.” LOL! Thanks for the laugh.
Ramras’ response to Palin’s response to his original press release. Got the link from the Immoral Minority. http://alaskareport.com/news19/x61936_jay_ramras.htm
I think the large amount of food that’s been collected and now needs to be shipped is a result of Rep. Jay Ramras’s efforts. He’s gotten Lynden Transport and Alaska Airlines to help transport it to Bethel and is now trying to raise $ to help get it shipped out on small air carriers to the villages. SHE did not have anything to do with this.
@the problem child (a jerk, also) (09:00:36),
Okay thanks. More wishful thinking that careful reading…
As a person of faith, I always thought and hoped Sarah would step up and do what is right, a WWJD sort of gal…but disillusionment quickly set in, followed by disappointment…and disgust.
New thread alert!
How much anguish does it take before a recall is initiated in Alaska?
We should all send an e-mail to( Represenative-JayRamas@legis.state.ak.us )and thank him for stepping up and doing the right thing since the Silly Sarah has her head in a snowbank somewhere!!! or maybe up someones a$$. Sorry had to say it!!
@wowee, what’s that?!
Hopefully, prayerfully, this virtue will spread and more and more great, logical, thinking folks like yourself will come to the same conclusion.
