I took the plunge and signed up on TeamSarah – but my “acceptance” to their club is conditional. I hope they spend lots of time dialing the phone number.
But mostly I’m looking forward to their email saying “Welcome None Ofyourbusiness”

Great job, AKM – as usual. I enjoy lurking and reading the posts – you have a wonderful lively following. thanks

Getting suspended by Team Sarah isn’t such a bad thing, they did it to me too!

Ok, the chronology is not clear. You wrote the cliff hanger on 3/23 Monday. IT is now Tue 3/24 and Celtic Diva has filed a new complaint against Palin on the Arctic Cat wear.

IS THAT THE CLIFF HANGER, OR IS IT STILL TO COME.

I adore Linda for filing the complaint, BUT it is still “just” one of many and may or may not be a nail in her coffin, depending on how the AG handles it.

I am hoping the “cliff hanger” is of greater shock value than “just” another ethics complaint?

Come on, there are sooooo many scenarios that we can all think of that could ( and will hopefully ) eventually happen and like a kid at Christmas who is hoping for a pony, a bicycle can be a disappointment.

FYI;

You won’t even believe this.

The Republicans have called on none other than Sarah Palin to headline their big fat-cat fundraising dinner. You know they’re going to use every last dime they raise to try to slam the brakes on President Obama’s change agenda.

You know what I say? Thanks, but no thanks – how about you get back on that bridge to nowhere, Sarah.

We’ve got to beat her and the rest of those “no, baby, no” Republicans standing in President Obama’s way by winning this FEC fundraising battle on March 31st. It’s the only one in President Obama’s first 100 days. It’ll show everybody that America stands behind President Obama and Democrats fighting for change – not Sarah Palin and the “just say no” Republicans.

Contribute $5, $10, or more now to the DCCC’s Million Dollar Match campaign. If you give today, they’ll match your gift 2-to-1, tripling its impact.

We need to make sure our Democratic voices for change are stronger and louder than all their “Party of No” talk.

Republicans are trying to change the subject by going on the attack. First, it was the daddy of all Republicans, Rush Limbaugh, riling up the GOP base by rooting for President Obama to fail. Then it was RNC Chair Michael Steele transferring $1 million to bolster the House Republicans’ campaign war chest. One Republican even fessed up that his party’s goal in Congress isn’t getting anything done – it’s tearing down approval numbers for Democrats.

They’re coming for a fight. Let’s give them one.

Contribute $5, $10, or more to the DCCC’s Million Dollar Match campaign before Midnight March 31st. If you give today, they’ll match your gift 2-to-1, tripling its impact.

In 2008, Republicans got heartburn every time they came up on one of these big FEC fundraising deadlines. So what do you say we keep them on their heels?

P.S. But even as we watch President Obama and House Democrats bring change on everything from the economy to health care, to energy policy, the last thing we can do is sit back and kick our feet up. The world is watching to see how strongly we support President Obama in his first 100 days

rob old buddy that’s a great point but how often must her acts of poor judgment be overlooked? there’s so much of this type of stuff that critical mass leads to the obvious claims of corruption. or would that, too, be a distraction from all those larger issues they need to focus on? if she’d start behaving and following the law, there would be none of these issues. or complaints of ethics violations.

This is pretty minor stuff. Seriously, what is the damage from this violation? She gives back the jacket and promises not to do it again? I am not a Palin supporter at all, but I think the sight of Palin with her family at the race, promoting a big Alaskan event, was a good thing, and the poor judgement of wearing the Artic Cat clothing is pretty minor stuff. Have her promise not to do it again and let’s get back to talking natural gas and rural Alaska issues.
By the way, this is also a waste of the Personnel Board’s time and distracts from so many larger issues they should be allowed to concentrate on.

I think that is the #5 cliffhanger, esp. since The Immoral Minority is reporting on it too.

Would #5 be…the newest ethics complaint? That Sarah was advertising for Arctic Cat at the Iron Dog?

According to Celtic Diva, Palin is not ankle deep in dog poop; she’s up to her eye balls in kitty litter:-)

That Artic Cat is one big feline…
