Palin Reacts to Ross Smackdown.
And here is the official word from the governor on the rejection of Wayne Anthony Ross. Dateline Indiana:
“In an unprecedented move, the 26th Alaska Legislature today rejected Governor Sarah Palin’s nomination for attorney general. Lawmakers failed to confirm Wayne Anthony Ross by a vote of 23 to 35.
“I believed I knew what Alaskans wanted when I selected an individual who is a strong backer of 2nd Amendment rights, a staunch supporter of the state Constitution and a defender of life,” Governor Palin said. “Wayne Anthony Ross supports responsible, ethical development of Alaska’s rich resources. I’m surprised that legislators in this case really did not seem to represent their constituents and allowed themselves to be swayed by side issues. Mr. Ross is a fine Alaskan. He is held in high esteem by many Alaskans. I appreciate his willingness to serve the public.”
Side issues? Like being concerned if you’re a lawmaker who might be breaking the LAW?
Did not seem to represent their constituents?
Oh Sarah…I believe that is EXACTLY what they did.
…AND???
obviously, she doesn’t know Alaskans like she should. Bravo Alaskans, you did the right thing.
Palin is a sore loser, but I don’t care right now, I’m just to damn happy for all of you.
Love it – your legislators were “swayed by side issues”? Translation: bad boys didn’t do what Mama said so Mama’s gonna spank you”.
Has she ever made sense in her life?
HEY sarah :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3FnpaWQJO0
We are witnessing SP Gino materialize into little more than a Lame Duck leader of her own making. She wasn’t fit to run Wasilla. She isn’t fit to run Alaska.
“I’m surprised that legislators in this case really did not seem to represent their constituents”
————————————————-
Oh but they did Gov!!! They listened to their constituents…did you not hear them talking about all the emails they received?
Ahem, “defender of life”? That’s not exactly something I would call someone who slaughters animals for sport.
” I’m surprised that legislators in this case really did not seem to represent their constituents ” SP
Uhhh, I think that may be a description of Ms. Palin, SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed)
Jeez . . . .
Wasn’t this man supposed to be the Attorney General?! What would he have had to do with Alaska’s natural resources except to try to legally exploit them for Sarah and deny Native Alaskans access.
Palin is a NUTCASE and doesn’t really know humans at all . . . .
Ditch this boil . . . .
Ah, vintage Palin. Complain about the outcome and blame others, i.e. “side issues.” And what about that opening line “an unprecidented move ….” c’mon after failing with the Juneau situation, she should be used to being shut down.
Goodness, she lives in an alternate universe doesn’t she? Ah, but tonight, Alaska celebrates and Sarah? Too bad you aren’t there to join them
Also.
Having reread her statement, it appears to me that she doesn’t even know what an AG’s responsibilites are!!
Judging from her statement, GINO seems to believe that the good people of Alaska care only about guns, anti-abortion and more development. She does not comprehend the hearts and minds of the people, even those in her home State. This is exactly why her political career will never go National – that anti-abortion, gun-toting base is just not big enough. They are loud, but they are way in the minority.
Hey Sarah, how many constituents do you have in Indiana??!! She’s one to talk about representing Alaskans when her narrow behind is elsewhere. Boooo to Palin and Yayyyy for the Alaskan legs that told her NO!
I’m sure the legislators will feel the love, when their constituents who’ve been calling and emailing them thank them for a job well done.
And Alaskans should also too write Mrs Palin and tell her what Alaskans want, since she admits she has no idea.
Here’s why it really hurts SP. It comes a day after the great nat’l “tea-bagging” event. If anything, you would think her wingnuttery would have some momentum, right? But no!
WAR couldn’t win even after that Fox News sponsored event (see Jon Stewart/Daily Show for more on how FOX sponsored Teabagging!)
So she has totally lost cachet at both the national and state level. I agree with tspey: Palin is a Lame Duck gov. now.
I really think Sarah is starting to crack up.
She may be in need of an exorcism. Stay tuned.
First time in Alaska history that a cabinet nominee was rejected.
First time an Alaskan governor was AWOL during the last 3 days of a legislative session.
Are the two related?
She lies and twists, as usual, so easy to recognize and pick apart…however, I noticed this isn’t SP in full snarky regalia. Either it will get worse as she embellishes and makes up more lies about what Alaskans want, or else she’s a bit tired. I think her feet hurt from stomping, and her scalp, too from pulling her hair out, there too also. Her mouth is ready to freeze in the WAAAAAH! position.
Oh well, a day breather and a good day it is! What’s so funny now is that her zealot whack bots think she should now NOT run for Gov since Alaska is so inhospitable to her AND the Legislature nothing but a kangaroo court (and don’t forget the RINO traitor republicans here) so she should just get out and just go “national”. In other words, they are realizing that with any proximity to the twit, she comes undone and all the veneer just peels off. Better to whisk her off to a stage somewhere, away from reporters and office staff who might talk – so they can still pretend she stands for something but they can cover up all of her personality traits that are so damning.
I say GOOD LUCK! She won’t be able to separate her snarkiness from her politics – it’s who she is. Rather, it’s WHAT she is! Go Sarah – you just keep up those vendettas, the personal nasty blogging on your state website, your snarkiness to the Legislature, your hatred of the press – it’s all doing you NO good but it’s helping our cause tremendously, I applaud the whack job gov for being so consistently twisted!
How is it an “unprecedented move”. Has the legislature never before denied an AG nomination?
And I got news for you GINO, these legislators were representing their constituents because they got an earful and figured out that their constituents didn’t want this man anywhere near the AG position.
“Wayne Anthony Ross supports responsible, ethical development of Alaska’s rich resources.”
NEWS FLASH FOR PALIN: The AG is not in charge of resource development! Someone needs to sit down with her, get out the ol’ family dictionary, and read to her (since she can’t seem to be able to read herself) the definition of Attorney General. And while they’re at it, they should refresh her on the “what it is exactly” that a VP and Governor does as well.
Side issues? Like being concerned if you’re a lawmaker who might be breaking the LAW?
I’m thinking that was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” for some of the Republican legislators.
Hey Palin!
Here’s a little something to cheer you up. I believe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4rubM_DQHo
She didn’t and doesn’t know what Alaskans want and she didn’t and doesn’t know what the rest of the United States want either.
First time in Alaska history that a cabinet nominee was rejected.
Wow, I guess it was unprecedented. That also says something really loud that Ms. Palin needs to hear. I doubt she will, though.
Martha Unalaska Yard Sign: Could you pls define “go national”??? Aside from POTUS (where she’s going to truly be a laughing stock), and it’s a bit early for that – where should she go? (and yes I know we all have some good suggestions).
People are right when they say that the right wing wackos are loud but small. In order to actually WIN a national office, you must have crossover votes.
This defeat will drive her to something not very pleasant – she is in a really bad way right now. Think…of a badly wounded animal – a big nasty mad hurt animal…got it? That’s your Governor.
She’s going to try and take some revenge.
The legislators definitely need thanks from everyone. I know those of us from the Lower 48 would express our support, but they don’t work for us so we don’t count.
We’ve got your back friends!
Yeah, I’ll be thanking all of the Legislators that had on their “listening ears” and saw the red flags attaching themselves to this biggot. He put Archie Bunker to shame yaknow? This was indeed a very timely message to send to the governor. Her wing nuts turned to scare tactics in support of WAR, i.e. you are going to lose your hunting and fishing rights and you are going to lose your guns, so the pressure was on. Believe me, the Governor offered a full court behind the scenes press to have him confirmed.
Watching from afar, I’m very, very pleased to see this announcement. The Alaska Legislature is getting a work out this season and so far as I can tell, voting the will of their constituents — bravo. Seems incredible that Mrs. Palin can’t grasp it … but she obviously acknowledges (which surprised me) that she is out of tune with Alaskans. For her to not see this coming, and stating her surprise, does support a division between how she sees the state being governed and how the people see the state being governed. That’s quite an admission.
Congratulations to everyone who fought so hard to make WAR history.
AKM – Forgive me for bumping this up again , but I want everyone to see it.

This is ONE of the comments I’ve come across:
“Just another example of why Gov. Palin should NOT run for a second term. Get a good team around you and go national. The time is now.”
GINO Sarah Palin is “TWITTERPATED”!!!
I suggest, as an interested observer, that she be given one more chance to get it right and pick a Senator from the list she was given by the Democrats. If she fails to fulfill her obligation under Alaskan law to appoint someone from that list, then IMPEACH or RECALL her. The woman is as mad as a March Hare and needs serious help.
May I also say that Alaskans should be proud that they called her bluff today. You know what good government should be, and you showed the world that you won’t settle for anything less.

Thanks Martha – wasn’t sure what you were referring to.
I still think she’s highly dangerous right now – she has anger issues anyway. Let’s hope she blows her speech tonite.
What a fruitcake she turned out to be!
What a nice target list of “yea” votes for the next election cycle!
Definition of Attorney General (Wiki)
In most common law jurisdictions the attorney general is the main legal advisor to the government- additionally he or she may have executive responsibility for law enforcement or responsibility for public prosecutions.
Where in this does it say the AG has anything to do with natural resources?
And has Roe v Wade been dismissed in Alaska? Also, has the second Amendment been discarded and only WAR and Sarah know about it?
Sarah needs to stop. Really. I mean it . . . .
Dear Lame Duck Governor Palin:
Welcome to irrelevance. Alaska’s done with you. Perhaps that’s why you left the State.
Hasta La Vista Chica!
Moose Pucky – I’m “POMing” the list of the nay sayers right now, thank you for the list!
Alaskans, thank your Legislators!

Side issues like human rights. You know, stupid things. He may be held in high esteem by many Alaskans, but it looks like he’s held in contempt by even more.
Sarah, may I call you Sarah? I have a little heartfelt advice for you: STFU. Also.
Here are some directions for Ross and his Red Hummer

1. “I believed I knew what Alaskans wanted when I selected…”
2. “I’m surprised that legislators in this case really did not seem to represent their constituents and allowed themselves to be swayed by side issues.”
We know who DID NOT represent their constituents & who did…
I believed I knew
I’m surprised
Thank the universe! Some of the same ppl who voted & help to elect her Gov, TODAY voted against her ‘beliefs’
REAL WORLD, meet GiNO
Her comments are a clear indication of the obvious – that she considers Native issues (among all the other things) to be ‘side issues’. Couldn’t be more blatant.
Congratulations Alaska.
Maybe there is some truth in the old saying.
“While the cats away the mice do play”.
LOL
The little woman should have studied basic arithmetic in school. With over 1/3 rejecting the bigot and less than 1/4 supporting the bigot, and presuming they are indeed doing their jobs reflecting the wishes of their constituents, then it would appear that her recent choices are actually NOT WHAT ALASKANS WANT! Her choices just reflect WHAT SHE WANTS. LIttle Miss Pageant Girl should have stuck to what she does best – snowing dumb men and like women.
maybe should be: GiNO meet REAL WORLD
I noticed Doodoo was on the side of the Angels in this instance. That doesn’t excuse him outing AKM, but maybe there is hope for him, yet.
He is usually on the right side of the issues, imho. That’s why the rest of him is so disappointing. AKM
GINO is like a broken record:
“Wayne Anthony Ross supports responsible, ethical development of Alaska’s rich resources.”
“Tim Grussendorf supports responsible, ethical development of Alaska’s rich resources.”
“Joe Nelson supports responsible, ethical development of Alaska’s rich resources.”
She’s stuck on this soundbite. Please somebody give her a good shove!
I’m so thankful that there are still some reasonable Republicans out there. Sadly, our representitives from the Mat-Su are behind her all the way. The silly thing is they are probably afraid they’d be getting a call from Todd if they ever went against her.
What a statement!! Gov Palin has NO class and it shows how small minded she is!! Not everyone shares the values she mentions and those side issues she mentions are important for everyone! What a witch!
I just want to say a huge *thank you* to Professor Geezer for that outstanding live blogging on the lima beans thread. I think everyone was having problems with the buffering…..but Prof kept us all fully informed for the entire voting session!!

Sarah honey, you need to start dealing with reality (although we all know that is impossible). The Legislature DID listen to their constituents, which is certainly more than you have ever done. What is important is the the system does work, thank God, even if the top political servant (that’s you) just wants to stamp their foot and have their way. I am so proud of Alaskans, too bad you are too self centered to be. Also.
Basheert from Arizona
What a fruitcake she turned out to be!
I hate fruitcake, but it sure doesn’t deserve to be insulted like this!
Someone with more knowhow than I, please get busy putting her head on a duck’s body. Also. The duck needs crutches and also red heals. Also.
Alaskans, be grateful she was nominated for VP. Without all the national exposure, there’s a darned good chance she’d still be underserving and misserving her state, and that people like WAR would be getting confirmed because there wouldn’t be all this coverage.
Also, I wouldn’t know about Mudflats, and it wouldn’t be such a popular blog!
Posted this earlier, but thought some might appreciate it. Gavel-to-Gavel has now archived the entire audio of the confirmation hearings. The discussion on WAR starts at about 48:05. It has been running continuously for me–with NO buffering at all–for about 40 minutes now! with dial-up!

Oh Sarah…..
SWALLOW
Man oh Man… the writing is on the wall for GINO and she is still not seeing it.. Impeach signs popping up, Legislature saying “No” and “No” and “No” again…
the GOP politely not taking her calls anymore…
I think you cans stick a fork in it.. her career is done.
Really, who ISN’T a “staunch supporter” of their constitution?
I saw how they voted over on Celtic Diva.
Just the other day Jay Ramras was asking WAR about ethics questions…and he wouldn’t even give Jay an answer… BUT he still voted Yes. WTH!!
Defender of life? I think one could make a very strong case for Sarah Palin to be incarcerated for life! I have always felt that if someone applies for a job, they should be held accountable to be competent in any job for which they have applied. Maybe Scary Sarah isn’t quite as Scary tonight!

I live near La La land (LA, CA) and, believe me, there’s no one there that comes close to her. Send her to Pleasure Island (remember Pinocchio?) let her stamp around and have her way a couple of days, and bring her back as a donkey. Then, she’ll be useful!
I just have to say, I am very proud of my districts House Representative and our Senator….Both are Republicans, and both voted against WAR!!! I am impressed and I am very thankful, but I am not surprised. THANK YOU, Peggy and Bert.

“Natural resource development”
WAR’s charm was that he was planning on suing the Federal government, so that Palin’s wolf eradication program could proceed. The ‘rich’ natural resources, in this case, would be moose hunting licenses.
WAR’s other charm was his availability for keeping Levi Johnston at bay-that Van Flein rascal is expensive as hell.
CA Dreaming of AK: You’re right – I hereby apologize to fruitcakes everywhere.
But…
What is she going to do to top this?
Just tried to log on for the live feed of GINO’s appearance in Indianapolis. It says it is maxed out. Hope some Mudpups were able to get on and give feed back. I wanted to see if she was as “out of it” as the last time I saw her, which was her justification for going. It was really pitiful.
She “believes” that she knows what Alaskan’s want. And therein lies the problem…her entire belief system.
Ethics must be one of those “side issues” she was talking about.
This is a great article by a conservative who formerly supported GINO. A couple of my favorite excerpts:
Sarah, You Blew It
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-04-16/a-palin-supporters-regrets/
Screech….wobble, wobble, THUD.
That was the sound of Sarah falling off her high heels and onto her ass.
Ouch that’s gotta hurt.

United We Stand Today In Alaska
There are lots of good AG options here in Alaska. The ball is in the governor’s court. Is she going to throw another “AIRBALL” or grow up. Heh Heh ”
Let’s see, how many “AIRBALLS” is this governor going to get before she gets expelled from the game. She’s used up all her fouls this week alone! Good defense Legislature and aye aye to the legislative staffers.
hedgewytch – got video???
hedgewytch: heh heh – Maybe we can get her put on the injured/disabled list until the end of her term.
Sarah dear, from what I understand, the legislatures were listening to their constituents and voted accordingly. Most people are ethical and their actions support their beliefs.
I am so proud of you Alaskans today. I could not believe you would actually confirm that nut case. And I noticed she had to get that life remark in there. They were probably going to start arresting abortion doctors as soon as he got in there. Maybe he told her if he got in he would write off the legal fees she owes him.
Remember sarah said she learned everything from sports ?? It brought the following to mind :
“Turn out the lights. The party’s over”
“The Party’s Over” is a 1967 song from music legend Willie Nelson. Former SMU and Dallas Cowboys quarterback and former Monday Night Football announcer “Dandy” Don Meredith would sing “Turn out the lights, the party’s over…” near the end of every Monday night game. If one team was getting crushed, the song would come out well before the end of regulation time. It was Meredith’s way of saying “stick a fork in him—he’s done.”
She really does not like to be told what to do and she must be in control. I could not figure out why her and McCain were bragging they were Mavericks. Look how she acted when she couldn’t do what she wanted on the campaign trail. She threw a tantrum. Like when she wasn’t allowed to give a speech when they lost. Do you really want someone who will not listen to other ideas besides their own? Must be not too many people have told her no in her life, and if they did I bet they paid big time.
OT but good news, too.
Alaska delegates speak to Anglo American shareholders. Good blog on this
Everett Thompson has an oped in the Times of London here

All together now: “Ding dong the witch is dead, which old witch, the wicked witch, ding dong the wicked witch is dead…”
“Sing it high and sing it low, ding dong the wicked witch is dead…”
Now she can remove his picture from the state web site. She has fallen through the rabbit hole and can’t find her way out. One fiasco after another. She is clearly exemplifying, in words and actions, her total disregard for the law and her ignorance of what a governor’s duties and responsibilities are. And to top it all off, what the h@ll did she mean to say in that first sentence? It keeps rolling through my brain, and I still can’t make it make sense.
I really have to question the 23 people who voted yes.
I’ve been mulling it over in my mind what her next move is gonna be.
I keep on coming back to this: Ted Stevens. Some of her supporters have already been suggesting that over at the ADN comment board. After all didn’t he just get his law license back? Anybody else got any guesses?
Have already received emails from 2 of the jerks that voted for WAR (one of them my pathetic rep, whose opponent in the next election I will donate to and volunteer to work for) with a bunch of Republi-spin. Gag.
Too late. No redemption in the cards.
Does Sarah have to be so butt-hurt whenever things don’t go her way? Then again, I’m not at all surprised.
You just have to wonder,
What is going to be her next move.
She was inclined to believe that she had a great working relationship with the Alaskan Legislature. (wrong!)
She believed she knew what the citizens of Alaska wanted in an AG. (WRONG!)
So what MAVERICKY play does she have up her sleeve now??
Sarah got smacked down today too, also.
I’d like to congratulate bloggers, emailers, citizens of Alaska legislators on both sides of the isle. And a special shout out to the republicans that had to break ranks and stand up for good government.
I wonder how many legislators walked through her “Open Door” to talk to her about this, and got nothing.
Ted Stevens? We should be so lucky. I don’t have much respect for Ted, but he’s a darn sight better than any other candidate that she would dredge up. And we can be certain that he would NOT be her stooge.
Well, she answered why she picked him, guns, secession, but the life part I don’t get. What kind of life does he support for gays, women, protestors, natives, african-american; unborns are more important.
Bystander Says: Political insiders report that Palin/Bachmann will run for president and vice president in 2012, on a third-party ticket- the “Nuckinfutz Party”.
________________
NUCKINFUTZ Party – I love it, starring Michelle and Sarah Stepford (tutored, of course, by their First Duds who are so equally articulate on government matters and the constituion – LOL)
Ted Stevens for AG?
Oh I don’t even think so.
His political shelf life, has expired.
SMR- it would almost be worthwhile to see Uncle Ted in a “Hulk” rage across the bench.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Guns and abortion are the only issues Palin is concerned with. That is what she said in her response. Her brain can’t handle more than that. That is her platform and where we can expect to find her.
Please…
read it again ..slowly…
It’s great

So pleased that enough of the legislature DID listen to their constituents. Alaskans should be proud, you made your voices heard. Keep it up, you CAN and DID make a difference.
Good idea to email thanks to the nay voters.
Now for Kim Elton’s replacement, don’t let her get away with these shenanagans either! Governmiss is in her own world – beg for impeachment (does the leg have enough yet?) or better yet public RECALL yourselves!!
The downside is she is so stupid and vindictive that payback is imminent. We’re going to see her veto pen, you betcha, to punish the non-compliant legislators, so Alaska will lose a good share of the stimulus monies and they will see line-item cuts in their districts. She’s surely not done messing with Juneau’s empty Senate seat, either. Maybe her predictable reactions will finally get voters to recognize how small-minded and incompetent she is and recall her.
OR
It could be that the people’s elected representatives know what their constituents want more than the Governor does. And acted accordingly.
Now on to getting Juneau a representative.
SP: “I believed I knew what Alaskans wanted. . .”
Sarah obviously doesn’t know what Alaskans want…not that she cares. Sarah does what Sarah wants; to heck with everybody else.
doug–well the good thing about her vetoing $ is that the Legislature can always (with a 2/3 yes vote of each house) call themselves into a special session and vote to override those vetoes!
Any politician worth a s^*t that thought for a second that their nominee was in trouble would have been down at the Leg. lobbying and twisting arms like a mofo. On top of not doing that , sarah left the state !! Lame – lame – lame………..
She believed she knew….
I know there’s a joke in there somewhere. Ah well… too bad she didn’t say something like “I thought I knew. …” Then I’d really be able to make fun of her.
Well played, ladies and gentlemen of the legislature. Way to stand up for your constituents! Rejecting mediocrity is always a good thing.
She believed she knew, when clearly she doesn’t. But will she learn? Nope.

We are witnessing SP Gino materialize into little more than a Lame Duck leader of her own making. She wasn’t fit to run Wasilla. She isn’t fit to run Alaska.
___________________
More and more, she’s like a point guard who cannot dribble. She really misplayed this opportunity. I can feel a shift in the political momentum. Time to send the under-performing point guard back to the bench. She’s not fit to play the game.
Excellent rejection! Great work, Alaskans!
NOTE TO SARAH:
From every corner of the earth, we are watching
and listening to everything you say.
Clearly, she has no clue. And really, side issues? Does she really consider his stance on rape and gender bias to be side issues that no one cares about? Oh, good grief.
One thing is certain – she just keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper. Here’s hoping it caves in on her before she does any more damage. (And I do mean that as it applies to politics, not literally.)
@ eastcoast:
Yes, wise words indeed. Thank you.
I had similar deep thoughts in mind when I wrote my OWN Senator and Rep today to thank them by name for their No vote (yay!). Then I wrote another message to all the rest of the legislators, praising the courage of those who said no (and by omission, hopefully shaming the rest).
#19 Ratfish Says: April 16th, 2009 at 2:40 PM
First time in Alaska history that a cabinet nominee was rejected.
First time an Alaskan governor was AWOL during the last 3 days of a legislative session.
Are the two related?

you betcha!
Just caught the last of Hardball w/ chris mathews (who has a hard-on for GINO BTW!)anyway, a woman was talking about how she is blowing it “having a fight in a sandbox with a 19 yr old kid” and burning bridges in Alaska, and the other guys there says “So what? If she runs for prez what does she care about Alaska?”
I was speechless! This guys is not Alaskan, but Everyone can see she is throwing Alaska under the bus, big time. I don’t know why the Leg. doesn’t start impeachment against her. As Levi said, “she changed, after she lost”.
Guess from what esteemed news source in Alaska the national press is getting their Alaska news?
This from The Atlantic 4/15/09
“Palin Circus Update
Just one more day in the bizarre politics of Alaska. There’s a fight over who to appoint to an open state Senate seat. Well, let’s just let Mudflats tell the rest:…”
WAR – what is he good for?
Absolutely nothing!

h/t Frankie goes to Hollywood
SARAH (YOU’RE A FINE GIRL)
(sung to the Looking Glass song “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)”)
(doo da in doo da da), (doo da in doo da da)
There’s a town not far from Bristol Bay
With strip malls, both near and far away
Lonely oil guys go the Wasilla way
And live in motor homes
And there’s a girl in this forlorn town
One time, she wore a pageant crown
They say “Sarah, please put that gun down”
She knows she’s just a punch-line
The oil guys say “Sarah, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“What a good Prez you would be” (such a fine girl)
“Not here, but maybe somewhere overseas”
(doo da in doo da da), (doo da in doo da da)
Sarah, sports a beehive mane
And some rimless glasses but she has no brain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Sarah loves
He came on a winter’s day
On board his gas-powered sleigh
What he saw in her, Todd couldn’t say
Cuz he was drunk since he left home
The First Dude said “Sarah, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)
But it’s booze, snow-machining and pornos for me
(doo da in doo da da), (doo da in doo da da)
But Sarah looked into his eyes
And she took an inventory
She could feel something on him rise
Then she saw his morning glory
She said “To hell with abstinence!”, lord, she jumped on that sad-sack
And before she could say “Stop!”, she had Track.
(doo da in doo da da), (doo da in doo da da)
Todd, had a loaded pistol
Sarah gave birth to a daughter, Bristol
She too had an ac-ci-den-tal
And now you hear her say…
You hear her say “Mama, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
“Two peas in a pod aren’t we” (such a fine girl)
“But Ya Betcha we have a screwed-up family”
(doo da in doo da da), (doo da in doo da da)
“Sarah, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)
[FADE]
“What a good Prez you would be” (such a fine girl)
“No not here, but maybe somewhere overseas”
In Juneau- Thanks for being positive- this is a time for celebration and confidence in our Legislature. But as for the stimulus monies for education and social services, doesn’t Palin have to direct her departments to request it?
This was just posted as a phone call between Gino and ADN
Palin said the legislators who voted no didn’t make themselves look good by rejecting an attorney general who strongly supports the issues important to Alaskans – gun rights, constitutional rights and developing the state’s resources.
“I think there was a lot of politics of personal destruction involved in this and that’s a shame. …I am surprised that, for what I believe is some personal petty political reasons, some lawmakers chose not to support a candidate who fit that bill,” she said in a telephone interview.
Palin said the “hypocrisy” is that the state House last year unanimously passed a citation praising Ross as a distinguished Alaskan and vocal proponent of free speech whose career has been dedicated to defending individual rights.
“The hypocrisy there is quite glaring. I believe they need to be called out on that,” Palin said.
http://www.adn.com/news/politics/story/762037.html
Way to go Alaska Leg!! There is hope for you yet.
I am still astonished at the number of votes WAR did get, really a sad state of affairs.
This makes strike 3 for GINO (this week alone) but we still don’t hear any Umps calling YOU’RE OUT! What’s up with that?
How many strikes does this WACKO get before someone finally takes her out of the game?
How far does she have to push before Alaska pushes back and she gets knocked off her stage and onto her @ss?
I wonder what names she’ll offer up next for AG and Senate…
I can see her thought processes in action….”I’ll just keep pushing my picks and sooner or later they will have to confirm one. I can outlast any of those law abiding legislatures, they’ll just be too tired to keep rejecting everyone. ”
HOLD ON!
STAND YOUR GROUND!!
DON”T LET HER WEAR YOU DOWN!!!
Just want to clarify that I found this on the T.S. website today (yuck, still washing my hands–and my brain–after visiting their website!) If it works, and someone has the stomach to watch, please let us know what she says. Thanks!

Congratulation, Alaska! As many in the lower 48 have done since your Guv got within a heartbeat of the presidency, I read everyday Mudflats and Alaskan news sites, keeping a wary eye lest she raise her head. I’ve grown fond and impressed with the spirit and intelligence of Alaskans, and so sad at the disaster governing you. Today your legislature did you proud, and the roar of pleasure for you is sounding all the way through the lower 48. We’re with you in spirit.
Here’s an article you might have missed:

Yes, and UK Lady, what I love about what you posted is this “she said in a telephone interview.” WHERE THE HECK IS THE GOVERNOR on this IMPORTANT DAY?
@Irishgirl, you’re most welcome. Thanks for your live-blogging, too!

Oh well, a day breather and a good day it is! What’s so funny now is that her zealot whack bots think she should now NOT run for Gov since Alaska is so inhospitable to her AND the Legislature nothing but a kangaroo court (and don’t forget the RINO traitor republicans here) so she should just get out and just go “national”.

Naaaaahhhh… not national but global !!!
Here’s to hoping that Obama appoints her as ambassador to Iran… she and Imanutjob would make a great night out.
You betcha! Let’s make Sarah Palin go global !!
@ InJuneau: Great comment on the ADN site:
So does praising your Comm. of Public Safety for what a wonderful officer and person he is and then firing him count as hypocrisy too?
Nah, not Stevens – he’s too feisty and doesn’t play well with others, too also. That would REALLY make Alaska’s politics look like a TV reality show, a very bad one. That’s another reason Rick Svobodny would never be appointed – he’s no Sarah’s pocket kind of guy.
There are many qualified attorneys in Alaska, we have more than our fair share of lawyers ! Not that she’ll find a good one – her parameters are guns, sovereignty, drilling & mining everything in sight, and a disdain for native Alaskans. Her rural advisor, native himself, has turned out to be a huge dud – kind of like the main DUD.
I don’t think she cares much about running for gov in 2010 so she’s just going to continue to be bi*chy and impossible to get along with. As many pundits have said “once you go national, what you did as gov doesn’t really matter – esp. AK because it’s so far away”. Heard it again on C Matthews today, heard it before. That doesn’t say a lot for the integrity of national politics, does it?
Is the legislature’s rejection really unprecedented? Has a governor’s nominee never been rejected before? (Not counting yesterday. Of course.)
It not a biggy, issue wise, but sounds a little over draymatic.
One of the characteristics of “representing a constituency’ is that, generally the further down the pyramid you go the better the local representation is.
I do not doubt that Sarah believes what Sarah believes, but believing doesn’t make it true.
Maybe Sarah has an idee fixe about Jiminy Cricket.
“The hypocrisy there is quite glaring. I believe they need to be called out on that,” Palin said.
Those exact words need to be crammed up her ass – sideways.
The ADN AG story is full of hilarious comments and a lot of uniting comments regarding WAR. Be sure to go add your two cents worth – things don’t seem to be disappearing. Definitely Worth the Read.
va_soccer_mom–awwwww, thanks! :blush:
lynnrockets is back – hurray! That was a masterpiece!
Okay. Watched the Ziegler arrest video.
What a nutjob.
He’s smiling and laughing the entire time. He’s constantly challenging the police with “tell me why” etc.
Apparently the guy was NOT recognized media, was NOT in the designated media area and was accosting people entering the Walter Conkrite Media Awards. They don’t know what he was asking them but I did hear something about “she” being there. Would that be…..a blogger? Getting an award.
The cameraman made a point to zero in on one of the cop’s jackets to get his name. Also after Ziegler was arrested, he resisted and would not move, fell down, was eventually moved to a fence (continuing to smile and laugh) and when the police asked the cameraman to turn the camera off, they didn’t. They just lowered it continuing the sound and pictures of feet. When Ziegler finally agreed to leave, the cops physically turned the camera off, but they continue to roll sound. Off campus, they took pictures of Ziegler’s poor, poor hurt wrists. Which wouldn’t have hurt if he hadn’t resisted arrest.
What a fruitcake. Typical right wing whacko.

A commissioner level appointment has never been rejected before. I’m sure lots of board appointments have, or at least some (including one today too).
Oh, it was Katie Couric getting the award.
Now there’s a journalist.
Way to go InJuneau! Great comment!!
There is a Palin story in 3 Minutes on CNN with Roland Martin. tune in.
Yes, more Alaskans are waking up each day and realizing that they have really and truly elected a totally incapable, dishonest and disfunctional Governor. I know I speak for a lot of us when I say Sarah Palin isn’t a democrat vs republican issue. There are getting to be increased amounts of Alaskans who are realizing just what a total “CON” AND “WACK JOB” she has been. WAR let more Alaskans have a birds eye view of what lies in the Heart of Palin. A lot more than the WAR issue was accomplished for Alaska in Juneau today.
Spent most of the day drivingn and in meetings and haven’t read other comments since 7:30 this am, but THANK YOU AK LEGISLATURE!

Heh Heh! That’s gotta hurt!
Marnie, the Legislature has never turned down a governor’s pick for a cabinet position before, so it’s not overstating the matter.
As for Ziegler, I found all these rightwing blogs protesting that he was doing what a journalists does. Somehow, I don’t think there was the same outrage when the REAL journalists from Democracy Now were zip-tied at the Republican Convention (yes, in MN, I’m ashamed to say) and had their credentials ripped from their necks.
Ok. I watched one minute of the Ziegler video, and I have to give the cop props for showing admirable restraint. I would have punched Ziegler. “You are breaking all KINDS of CONSTITUTIONAL laws!” Sez Ziegler. “I am NOT moving.”
What a jerk, and so entitled, too.
Where is the live feed? Can’t find anything on the website.
I finally put CNN on TV (hawk spit) and I’m listening to a Scottish Idol contestant and Ashton Kutcher. This is so not worth it.
Have you all seen that wharthog was giving a citation today? http://www.gov.state.ak.us/news.php?id=1765
Since, in the long run it is to the Repblicans advantage, also, to continue the time honored way of filling a vacated seat –
What if the Leg. Dems and Republicans had a open vote from the floor for Eagan? Sarah would have a hard time rejecting that choice since they will have done it the way she wanted it.
Sarah could still might not accept their vote but she would be rejecting the Republicans, and would have gotten the open two party vote she said wanted.
Next time the Leg. can go back to the way they have been filling the seat. I haven’t seen a single criticism of how that process has worked for 20 years, except that a real election would be preferable.
It is my understanding that WAR will continue as the intrim AG until an official AG is approved by the next Leg. Hopefully this slap down will keep him on a short leash. And hopefully if he pulls anymore bull patty quasi,according-to-WAR legaleze, he will get slapped down quick.

On ADN there is an article on War, he said he was AG for 21/2 weeks, now he will go back to private practice.

And what about the stationary ?? Toilet paper I guess………
@Marnie: I’m not a lawyer or an Alaskan anymore, but I was both, at the same time . . . While someone may serve as interim or acting AG pending confirmation, once NOT confirmed, he or she has no authority to continue as interim AG. Governor Palin will have to appoint another nominee. (Oh joy.)
If Palin tried to have Ross continue, she’d open herself up to certain legal challenge.
All IMHO, of course.

You don’t suppose she had this AG contingency plan in place THEN. do you?

Two fine choices there – either way she loses!
Some yahoo wants everyone to fill out a questionaire from their program……..that would go the same place I put Ross’s AG stationary.
Looks like SP follows the musical entertainment for the evening…Matthew West.
Here’s the big deal on the citation:
http://newsminer.com/weblogs/dermot-cole/2009/apr/16/ross-citation-doesnt-prove-much/
Kind of like being next door to Russia as foreign policy experience.
what makes me shake my head is her complete cluelessness by saying: “I’m surprised that legislators in this case really did not seem to represent their constituents and allowed themselves to be swayed by side issues.”
That is soooo weird on at least two levels…
The majority of legislators obviously DID represent their constituents, the ones who took the time and effort to contact them…
And… “swayed by side issues”????
Oh dear, Sarah….
the fact that she’s raising a citation given to him as an indication that he was somehow qualified to be the AG shows how complete a lack of understanding she has of the position.
in any event, congrats AK!

It was 10% higher for based on qualifications before I listened and 10 minutes later the Poll was 10% higher as ‘political payback’ A 20 point swing in 10 minutes…? Hardly. C4Pee put the word out. I’m sure it is posted on the website.

Repost sorry. I posted this on the last thread. I just had a terrible thought:
If she nominates someone worse (unimaginable) than WAR after the Legislature adjourns are we stuck with that person for many months? It will be horrible if we have some raging bigot for the next 8 months! Tell me I’m wrong!
Lawdee – Lawdee …….Had to take a break from that testimonial………ok…….going back………
Ow! good grief, he’s doing another one – make him stop!
I listening to cnn and some guy is blabbing and singing (badly) has GINO spoke yet?
I don’t want to suffer anymore if I don’t have too!
He just did a shout out to Gov. Palin , then said “Amen”
Oh Em Gee, he’s still singing, but I have him on mute right now, not sure whose voice will be worse to listen to, him or Palin, also too.
Moment of truth, you know he’s not talking about her….oy vey make him stop…..!
It’s genetic.
I said it…or maybe I didn’t. Depending on the public’s reaction, or possible legal implications. Below from a new post on radaronline.
———————————————
Heath was quoted in an earlier published report lambasting Johnston’s recent TV appearances saying: “I don’t agree with what he’s doing right now. It’s not right. He’s broke, so he’s trying to capitalize on this. I wish he’d take some of this money he’s making and buy some diapers with it.” Johnston has publicly complained that the Palins are limiting his access to his baby Tripp with the governor’s daughter.
Now Heath says he never made those remarks and even defends the unemployed teenager. “I didn’t say most of that stuff—that’s a bunch of garbage. I don’t know how they came up with that. The only thing I said—and that was said jokingly, that was kind of in jest about the diapers,” Heath explained to RadarOnline. As for his feelings on Johnston hitting the media circuit, Heath cuts the teenager some slack. “It’s up to him. He’s a kid. I have no bone to pick with Levi, he’s a good kid.”
hmmm. Thanks Mr. Butler.
Nooooooooooooo! another one – bloody crap!!
one last song before GINO! heh! There are no accidents GINO!
god shut him up!
Van suc up has a headline on her BFF…LMAO
Last one he says……..then the speaker every one is waiting to see………
UK Lady, just put him on mute, you don’t need for your ears to bleed.
Thank goodness for the mute button…somebody tell me when it is over.
If he doesn’t stop singing soon, someone from the audience will probably run up to him and break two more vocal chords, hopefully the c and e chords. =)
Its over!!!!
Blab,blab…..I guess GINO is next
Oooh thankyou whoever – he’s stopped
The guy who’s speaking now, do you think he knows he is as gay as christmas?

Steele is intro-ing her…must get more wine!!!
Great news. The winds of change are really blowing up there. BTW, when something like this happens the usual rhetoric is that you nominated someone who supports the rule of law – not that you singled out their being a “strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment” and ” defender of life.” A little nuance goes a long way Governor.
And like sports scores, blood pressure readings, bad odds and a host of other numeric listings, you never give the vote backwards: 23-35. I would hate to be the person in her office who is keeping the replacement lists. They’re in for a world of hurt.
Hope she enjoyed Indiana.
NEXT ACTION – IMPEACH PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh piper palin for pres in 2024( bumpersticker) gack!
Is she going to use up her entire 10 minutes talking about restarting her engine?
Ha! she is just reading from notes, she daren’t talk off the cuff. And they worry about the Prez’s teleprompter.
There goes her whining
Her pitch really changes when she starts whining
what a big whiner she is, how old is she? 5 or 6 y/o? Is that a big “L” on her forehead? =)
protecting innocent life…how ’bout those wolves GINO?
Oh Adversaries in Alaska….???She been talking what 3 mins? Oh they condemn everything I do….(Waaaaaahhhhhhh!)
Oh, here we go….her “adversaries up there in Alaska” don’t want her to come down to Indiana to spread “good will”.
She was “bribed” in order to go there? Chocolate on her birthday? Donuts and Pastries for a big Gas and Oil meeting?
She is admitting to taking bribes?
Invites everyone to Alaska, “to God’s country”.
Hahahah Libby, great minds!
Sounds like campaign speech and not right to life speech or downs syndrome or whatever its supposed to be
Ewwwww, she looks like a evil clown! Wants to use the hocky stick on people in her office? (WTF)
God country….Alaska…..hand of the creator there……..Moose, caribou, like she eats wild berries, Glaciers (melting GINO)
did she get the earthquake date wrong? or did she just not want to say her year of birth…?
When was the last time she subsisted on berries? Yup, she’s campaigning.
Clearly a reference to Joe Six-pack at this kind of event could easily be mis-construed.
Did she go to Indiana to give a “come to Alaska” commercial? Maybe that will be how she justifies the leave of absence from the legislative session?
Bet Mt. Redoubt is not spewing and steaming as much as she is right now.
Wow…she’s pretty special, I’m not sure I can listen to her voice… no teleprompter, back to notes…and she is refreshing her memory about AK.
Piper Palin for prez? She’s the seven year old, right? I think she’s the best of the lot. Maybe she can go head to head with Sasha–and lose.
Oh ackkkk. Has Sarah ever eaten a berry for subsistence? I’m sorry, she sounds like a junior high school kid that never left the city she was born in. Ugh.

Here she goes all domonist on us, all the gas and oil for us to use…in Alaska…Now she talking about the stimulus????? Isn’t this a right to life event???
Sarah using prudent and wise in a sentence, with heartburn, also, two.
I am so relieved, I just could not imagine that man in public office let alone AG.
Thank You AK legislators fine job today.
AKM thanks for the great blogging!
“We are borrowing from China.”
She warns us that we are going to be enslaved to these nations…
SP has “heartburn”…hmmmm….what goes around, comes around.

LMAO, GOd just dumped oil up there in AK
**********************************************
and then he dumped Palin on her head.
Enslaved???!! LMAO Who taught her that word? Her knowledge of the stimulus money would fill a thimble. Obviously she didn’t understand it. She hates the federal government because she’s not part of running it. Thank gawd for that.
All this Jesus stuff and how God loves the unborn and down’s syndrom children… a Good thing I’m sure
and then she gets on.. Id be really dissapointed if I paid money to see her.. has she even mentioned Trig yet? She’s talking budget and everything noone wanted to hear her out on..
oh wait now the demographics of Alaska
What who HUH?? who wants to hear this garbage? She must of been all bottled up ..these poor souls have to listen to her windbag
yikes
When will she complain about her ethics problems and shill her still-tied-up-in-legalities legal defense fund …..
Yeah Crystal Wolf, thought I was going to hear her view points on abortion and such and here she is campaigning and complaining about our resources up in AK
She sounds like a second rate hack for the Tourism board…….WTF !!
Now she’s keeping her eye on North Korea!! Busy Lady
So, now she is a geography whiz…complete with snark to Katie Couric.
I’m going to be sick.
She’s STILL snarking about Katie Couric? Geez! Enough already!
God, she is insufferable, not she’s saying her Dad says come to AK (didn’t chuckie say you can leave with a wolf under each arm?)
This is just a come to AK commercial!
Whine about katie couric.
Fear, N. Korea, AK is watching it, you betcha!
And you can see Russia from AK
WOW, trivia….something that encompasses her entire life and governing ability. Ugh, how sad there are other ignoramuses that find her humorous. Has she ever been to Little Diomede?
Geography lesson……..oh yeah……gimme that F^*kers phone #
Well, I’ve been reading off and on, but this is my first chance to comment. I’ll be brief.
WAY TO GO, LEGISLATORS!
As for the unprecedentedness of it all — I bet it was pretty unprecedented to appoint such a loose cannon.
I don’t think she’ll pick Ted — I imagine his memory is still good enough to recall the part where she said he should be statesmanlike and resign.
Hope she plans on declaring those gifts–hockey stick, chocolates, donuts?? Sounds like politicking to me. I thought this was a right to life event!!! whinning-they didn’t want me the leave–typical Sarah
She seems to be looking sick just a few minutes ago, she started looking flush and sweating
Book Deal!
So she will be busy on Saturday cause it is Trigg’s first birthday. Guess that means she won’t be in the Legislature

LOL, calling founding fathers and such holy and she wants to secede from the state thru
AIP
I like how she makes a point that she is making a CHOICE. She wants to refuse that choice to others while she is taking it for herself.
Well, THIS is telling… KTUU TV just aired an interview w/ Wayne Anthony Ross that they did today. His statement to all of Alaska on camera was this:
“I think we have a great Governor. I really wanted to represent HER. And I think she made a great choice in nominating me”.
His second sentence reveals that he is just as big a Narcissist as Sarah Palin (quite an accomplishment, even for this blowhard). But even more disturbingly, he obviously JUST DOESN’T GET IT. Hey, “WAR”, read my lips: The job of the Attorney General of the State is to uphold state law AS IT IS WRITTEN, and to represent the PEOPLE OF THE STATE, not the Governor who appointed you, or anyone else with an agenda. That’s what the realm of “law” is all about. I just can’t believe this guy actually made it through law school (or even TO it!)
Okay, I can’t listen to that voice of hers anymore, I’ll just read all your posts. My ears are in pain and about to bleed.
What? She mentioned seceding? and “who” is making a “choice” – ?
She is ALL over the place………whack -ass……..

shes gonna rag on Levi.. just wait! she can’t hold back! it’s comin
She seems whacked out, seems like she might cry…barging through doors…Wow!
A month after Trig was born Bristol told her she was going to be a mom, she was 17.
strong daughter is going to be mom she just cannot not talk about that
Your drop out daughter? Spare me this nonsense Sarah. There is nothing cool about her situation. Gah, and the loons now applaud this. God forbid if that had happened to Obama it would have been a national crime.
My ears hurt…and my brain, too.
“Borrowed a few clothes”…did she say that?
“Provided Tina Fey with some job security”.
Borrowed some clothes and went on the road…Tina Fey, job security….
Uh oh, here is the talk of Bristol. Surreal
Picked to run for VP
Borrowed a few clothes
Went on the Road
Literally showed up with an overnight bag
Had a couple of sit down interview those didn’t go so well
Helped Tina Fey with Job security
It was a privilege to run with McCain a true American hero.
Bahahaha John doesn’t even mention your name Sarah! Wooosh…..flip back to Trigg…another wandering word salad story.
I’ll pass the jar of ‘shine around again…whew!!! Glad I’m not able to listen to that stuff (hubby is watching “Krodman” and doesn’t want any background distractions…hahahaahaaaa!
It was a sacred time (the secret pregnancy) between Todd & God & me.
@ Sourdough Mullet Hussein Palin
All that’s required of the A-G is knowledge of the law and regard for it. WAR doesn’t qualify on either count.
No she didn’t say she wanted to secede that was my own opinion. Shes proud to be american and blah, blah, blah, what a hypocrite.
She winked! she just can’t help herself.
God, she is ILL! going on about being preg and no one knows (lie,lie,lie)
She is whacked!!!

Better warn them when you get to the throwing-things stage (which is always my downfall with this woman).
Yeah, coz who had ever heard of Tina Fey before????
Did she really mention secession, or are you guys just making it up?
I’m not sure what people she knows but most I know have no issue with pregnant women working. I think the Neanderthals are in her slice of the political pie. Now on to the omg a down’s syndrome baby….of course I wouldn’t get an abortion…applaud me, thanks. Now let me tell this lying azz story about finding out I was PG.
There’s a joke in our house about someone who watched a tv show from the hall instead of in the easy chair. Sort of an unconscious wanting to be distanced rom the really awful acting that was on whatever show it was.
I wish I could read the rest of this from the hall, not the comfy couch…
LOL, I thought she had a 10 min. window. How long will this be?
I’m not watching, but getting this from all your great posts. What is the audience like? They are probably all enthused. Wonder what the news commentators take will be on this speech? (afterwards)
Talking about amniocentesis…no one would know, I know, I was OLD!
Geeze she is whacked……..! Breast pump….(LIE, not in the red leather jacket)
Applauses are just feeding her EGO
Trig was 8 weeks premature
Found out at 13 weeks he was downs
Was I gonna walk the walk or talk the talk…had to ask myself.
Found out I was pregnant at an Oil & Gas Meeting.
For a fleeting moment I considered….no one knows me here…
Then I found out from the amnio….
Could understand the idea of changing the circumstances
Only the doc knew…not even Todd knew at that time.
Considered everything…less than ideal circumstances…
Had just enough faith to understand I can’t change the circumstances…
I came to believe that Trig’s prenatal test was a test for me to walk the walk and do what I had already preached.
Blaming society for influencing people to have abortion…
Talkin’ to God…………
She jumps from ridiculous subject to ridiculous subject…nothing new here.
She “understands a young girl’s temptation to change her circumstances”…”if she has been told that she is not smart enough or strong enough”…
Sweet baby jeebus – bring back that terrible singer!
Maybe the applause was the bribe
Whaaaaaaaaat? Now she compares herself to Sarah in the Bible? Ahahahahahahaha…whoa she’s bizarre. ” I do understand what these women with these girls go through”<<<—ok, what the heck was that word salad?
#115 Sauerkraut said:
“Well played, ladies and gentlemen of the legislature. Way to stand up for your constituents! Rejecting mediocrity is always a good thing.”
I join your congratulations, Sauerkraut, but do you think WAR rose to the level of mediocre? Maybe his lawyering skills were mediocre, but that flamboyant, self-aggrandizing, confrontational personality made him a very poor pick for AG — way below “C” level — wholly apart from his relationship with Palin. If she had offered a merely mediocre nominee who quietly shared most of her opinions without WAR’s in-your-face attitude, there would have been no fuss. (Her gratuitous insults to the legislature didn’t help, either.) I guess we should be grateful for her poor political skills.
Maybe some one can explain this, but I’m not too hopeful, as just about every one is not well versed in Sarah-speak.
You, SP, are invited to address an anti-abortion group. So…why is she doing nothing but telling everyone how great she is?
Normal folks would tend to address the group’s topic at end, not the stimulus, not the campaign, not China…
Oh…never mind…I got it now: us “normal folks” get it, SP is not normal….
Here come the tears…taking cues from Glenn Beck…ugh.
she needs an emmy for that emotion. She sure knows how to act.

“Hello, Sarah. This is God calling. You really need to stop taking My name in vain. Also.”
Wasn’t sure I had in my heart what he would need so I prayed.
Crying….my heart overflowed when he was born.
He is amazing…nothing else matters when I hold him.
I want other women to expeirence this,
Please consider adoption
Can look at a scared teen who is afraid to give up a child..
Or those who are looking to adopt…
you are doing the right thing in planting the seeds…
The culture of life affects all aspects of our lives
we must speak up
don’t be afraid to speak up
it isn’t above my paygrade to speak up
remind everyone that we are proud to be americans
Innocent life is to protected and cultured…GINO WHAT ABOUT THE WOLVES????
ah lordy i thought she was sincere there a moment talking about Trig (for a whole 3-4 min?) and then how we should speak up against bad Obama.. lost all credibility
How many times will she say, “I’m the governor”?
Whew, it is OVER.
She said NOTHING new.
Eight (8) weeks premature? Are you sure she said 8? Pretty hard to believe that a 6lb something baby was 8 weeks early…. at full term he would have been a great big OUCH.
Thank you for speaking up for something special here in Indiana..god’s blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I think today should be a State Holiday– we could call it Capitulation Day– the day Alaskans bailed from Palin.
Dear Palin– Best wishes on your job pursuits in the “Lower 48″– apparently you don’t have a future in Alaska– you’ve been booted. Hope you can find a job down South.
Excuse me, but how many kids has Sarah adopted? Neither she nor these right to life groups care about the child after it’s born. Then it’s you’re on your own, see ya.
As a Vet she disgusts me when she pulls this praise the veterans nonsense.
She needs to drop the proud to be Americans crap too. Oh wait…she’s still campaigning against President Obama. Is she wearing clown shoes?
Now there were 3 divergent subjects she floated in about 3 minutes…arghhhh. lol
Giving thanks for invitation, only one out of thousands she chose to come to. HHMMMM, was it the only one?
I’m just a Governor………….The F^*K she is !!

Yayyyyyy, she’s done, her minions are braying and clapping their hooves and I can stop throwing cat toys! LOL
THUD……..that’s it ?????
OMG! She’s back in her VP mode, waves hears clapping….doesn’t want it to fade away….
Oh, goodie, GINO is an honorary Hoosier.
she’s crying because she didn’t get her way in Juneau, and doesn’t want to go home and face everyone.
Oh they made her an honorary Hosier. How lovely for her!
They are only feeding her ego Just made her an honorary hoosier
Yes, she’s plain spoken and utterly vapid and ignorant just like so many of my Indiana constituents and I’m making her an honorary idiot, er Hoosier.
What a dingbat!
Night folks.
Ahhhhhhhh misspelled that one. (hoosiers)
Now they are asking for donation (envelopes on the table). Lost the feed.
Fork over the MOOLA!
lol, someone hollered I love you Sarah. HEHEH, should be like Cable guy and tell him to get back to his truck outside.
AntiAnti: the folks at the Palindeception will have a field day with that little tidbit.
Maybe she did say something new.
Man, that was painful!!
According the the Lt. Gov of Indiana, Palin’s fav movies is Hoosiers and Palin has now been declared an honorary Hoosier. That will now bring up some new names for her.\
CNN feed went off my computer. Whether it was on just to cover up to and including Palin — don’t know
She looked and sounded terrible! Why did she even question wheather or not to have Trig before she even knew he was a special needs? She said she was thinking about it and even Todd wouldn’t have known! She is a piece of work.

Too bad you’re still left with that crazy BIT*H !!!!!!!!! I cannot believe she had that ludacris response. Oh wait, yes I can…it’s palin, after all.
Well – KO is about to have Janeane Garafalo on……….talk about polar ends of the spectrum. That will unscramble my brain.
What is the difference from what was said before? Is 8 wks preemie differing from another statement she made a while back? I don’t follow deceptions blog very closely.
“you are doing the right thing in planting the seeds…”
Oh, so Levi and Bristol are okay again/

And honourary hoosier? As an Indiana voter, I am reallly offended.
193 the norwegian blue
from the article:
One can’t help but get the impression that Palin is a clownish, vindictive amateur.
Now, for example, Palin is raising hackles for naming colorful crackpot Wayne Anthony Ross to be Alaska’s attorney general. It turns out that Palin may have consulted with Ross over a state senate appointment, a move that would have been against state law. As a general matter, state law is something you might want your AG to be on top of.
What I’m wondering is: Has Sarah Palin undergone some kind of secret lobotomy?
Reihan Salam is a fellow at The America Foundation and the co-author of Grand New Party.

ooooh, the comments after that! She’s toast!
I tried CNN live and it lists Sarah but when I click it I get some story about jazz in South Africa.
The Evansville site just goes to a tv screen with nothing on it.
I feel like I am sitting in the school cafeteria alone eating my stale sandwich.
HELP.
The KTUU audio interview after she was informed about the WAR NO Vote was very bizarre. She even said WAR’s explanation about seating someone whether it was ‘legal or not legal… just do it ‘ was the OPPOSITE of what he said..?????????
Bristol and the rest of Her kids are going to be soooooo screwed up when they get older. There is no guidance there at all.
What role models do they have as well… Grandpa Heath..?

I don’t follow all the details on Palin baby dates. I was just connecting up a 6lb plus baby with the 8 week premature comment and saying “does not compute”. I’m afflicted with a brain that calculates whether I want it to or not.
Canadian Neighbour Says: I thought she said five
____________________________________________
I thought it was 8? Could I have misheard it? I hit the eight on my keyboard as soon as she said it… they don’t even sound alike…I hope someone gets a transcript or a copy so I can double check, because I don’t want to make the statement if I misheard it.
Is Gino still trying to speak? It so, were can I tune into her BS
OK, now that that crazy revival meeting is over, let’s get back on topic. After all, this is the true “Anti-Palin Make-up Funny Songs Blog” isn’t it?
HIT IT…
SARAH and THE BIG O
(sung to the theme of “Chico and the Man”)
Sarah, don’t be discouraged,
The Big O, he ain’t so hard to understand.
Sarah, you and Bristol,
Could both have had pregnancies that were planned.
Also, it’s good to finish school,
Dropping out is just not cool.
Six colleges also will not fly.
But Sarah , things will be better
If you listen and take notes from the Big O,
If you listen and take notes from the Big O.
Palin deception will explode… wish we had a transcript…
I muscled up and listened to the shout out. Not sure what she said, hard to recognize the dialect. But be forewarned, she’s coming back with a recharged engine, and a hockey stick, to whup a$$. Did I hear her say Alaska witnessed a 1700 ft. high tidal wave? Mentioned the school districts but failed to mention the 40% dropout rate. She has invitations to travel the world, but settled on Evansville. It was the donuts and chocolate that won her heart. That poor guy from Pakistan must be thinking what will it take to get her to visit me. We don’t have chocolate in islamabad.
So now Palin thought it was ok to take two plane rides and a two hour car ride with as a 45 year old woman with a risky pregnancy who’s water broke 8 weeks before her due date. I have not seem this interview. Did she really say she was 8 weeks premature?
where is it besides CNN?
Janeane is layin’ it OUT on KO. I’ll post it in the am when it’s available. She perfectly explains the mindset of people that blindly follow the far right.
EyeOnYou,
CNN might have a vid on their site maybe tomorrow of her speech.
I know when she was talking about early date, she was talking too about just letting people know a month before that I think that she was preg.
The WAR drama is up on HuffPost.

SARAH’S WAY
(sung to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”)
And now, the end is near;
To all of you, I’m glad I met ya’
Alaskans, let’s make it clear,
Did I fool you?, Oh yeah, “ya betcha!”
You’ve met Todd, the “First Dude”,
His snowmachine is in the driveway.
Is he drunk? My God, he’s blitzed,
The D.U.I. way.
Regrets, I’ve had a few;
More than most, I will remember.
My lipstick and my hair-do
But most of all, 4th of November.
Each day since then has been
Another never-ending whine and cry day,
And I’ve been told by Newt Gingrich,
To hit the high-way.
Yes, there were times, that now you know
I failed to declare “per diem” dough.
What’s this about “stimulus funds”?
Let’s just cling to, our God and guns.
Oh, I just winked and then I blinked;
And did it my way.
Nicknames, I’ve had a few
There’s “Caribou” and “Barracuda”
Now I’m known as “Sarah Who?”
Cuz Tina Fey is so much cuter.
To think I’m a has been;
And I can’t see – beyond next Friday
Woe, oh woe is me,
I won’t have my day.
For what is a gal, what has she got?
When her career, has gone to pot.
How to appear on nightly news;
When she’s inept at interviews.
She’s still exposed despite those clothes –
See – You – Next – Tuesday!

I’ve been waiting for My Way – it seemed kind of irresistible, like Que Sera Sera.
Just curious, but what is it exactly that mz palin does to earn her salary as a working elected employee of the citizens of Alaska. All I ever see or hear of her are her personal promotion out-of-state tours, her constant bickering and whining, and her constant tiresome problems with her grifter family members. Seriously, does she do anything at all to earn her salary compliments of the Alaskan taxpayers?
Yeah – I had it linked direct at 168. Now it is a music show live.Canadian Neighbour is right about checking tomorrow in the archives of CNN. I get up early and sometimes post stuff for Irishgirl and UK Lady that they don’t get. If AKM or someone else does not put it up , I’ll try to throw it up for those who missed it.
Here is a tasty little tid big from a post a few minutes ago about GINO’s speech in Indy:
Posted by “CHAZ”
There is something about Sarah
Greta on Fox News showed her speaking in Indiana a few minutes ago and said they’ll cut back to her again soon.
Sarah’s words were fine but you know, I”m happy just watching her stand there. There really IS something about Sarah.
The comments are equally entertaining including “Sarah was given to America by GOD”
Sorry, that should have said ‘tasty little tid BIT’….

ALASKA LEGISLATURE REJECTS FAG-HATING KKK ‘LIMA BEAN’ RAPE JOKE MONSTER: We’ve lost Wayne Anthony Ross! Sarah Palin’s wingnut-to-end-all-wingnuts nominee for state Attorney General has been rejected by both houses of the Alaska legislature. Palin’s office released a snippy statement saying, “I’m surprised that legislators in this case really did not seem to represent their constituents and allowed themselves to be swayed by side issues.” Yes, side issues, like how HE LOVES RAPE.
Don’t know if this has been put up.
http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/4794
the GOP-dominated Alaska Legislature rejected Gov. Sarah Palin’s nominee to replace her disgraced Attorney General. Although Alaska’s mainstream media failed to see this Palin defeat coming, several Alaska blogs and civil rights activists combined efforts to educate the public and get them to write to legislators. Some predicted this outcome as early as last weekend.
Also in the Oxdown writeup…
Although the Anchorage Daily News refused to participate in the uncovering of Ross’ record, and gave their beleagered Juneau correspondent Sean Cockerham no research support whatsoever, the bloggers and civil rights activists, along with their growing network of progressive and independent supporters, organized an unprecedented legislative contact effort.
Sen. Bill Wilechowski, one of the key legislators against W.A.R. just told Alaska’s leading independent commentator, Shannyn Moore, that “this could not have happened without Alaska’s bloggers.”

@ Tealwomin:
Two peas in a pod
lynnrockets, you are terrific! Thanks!
I would love to see the entire speech even if the cat would hide under the sofa.
From the postings do NOT tell me she is still talking about the clothes! (During the campaign they told her to Drop It; things have a 24 hour news cycle. It blew her hockey mom image and she knows it. Also a blow to her vanity.)
Sounds as if she was campaigning if she mentioned being enslaved to China, has her eye on North Korea. Did she really say these things?
Did she really tear up? My Favorite Photo is of her on election night, just on the verge of tears. I call it Brave Barbie. A real beauty pageant moment. So close to that crown.
What a fabulous, fabulous day with the anti-WAR vote. I have never woo-hoo’ed in my entire life and will try to control myself in future.
From Marnie’s link – thanks, Marnie
“Although the Anchorage Daily News refused to participate in the uncovering of Ross’ record, and gave their beleagered Juneau correspondent Sean Cockerham no research support whatsoever, the bloggers and civil rights activists, along with their growing network of progressive and independent supporters, organized an unprecedented legislative contact effort.
Sen. Bill Wilechowski, one of the key legislators against W.A.R. just told Alaska’s leading independent commentator, Shannyn Moore, that “this could not have happened without Alaska’s bloggers.”
GGGooooo BBBllloooggggeeerrrrrrsssss!!! Hats off to AKM!
I’ll like to know why some of those voting YES, voted that way…

Pesky little “ankle biters”
@ Dragon Lady, she called them “borrowed clothes”, made a funny about it and the audiance laughed and applauded. She, at the beginning, sounded like she was campaigning.
Anyone know, who was the guy supporting WAR who said Ross was like T.R. and Judge Roy Bean. He laid it on with a Trowel. He would flip between Ross being “just a plainspoken guy” and then compare him to famous “characters.”
For those who missed Menard – now that will make you ill with all the “Ross’ strong Christian virtues and got all our kids their first guns.” What book of the Bible mentions arming small children?
Betcha she doesn’t know what victimization is.
We’re all tired of it, message getting through? Didn’t think so.

Message for Palin, Mad Tony Ross et al.
Water froze
In a generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
There ‘aint no need for ya
There ‘aint no need for ya
Go straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell, boy
Way To Go Alaska! Sendin’ ‘em your message.
Lynnrockets; I posted this on another topic here but it didn’t take; you had asked for ideas about a song: I had a brainstorm, “All in the Family” – Archie and Edith singing Those were the Days. I was imagining Sarah and John McCain singing -
Marnie,
Seems not everyone things bloggers are PJ clad in their parent’s basements!!
Dragon Lady,
The comments re China and North Korea — yes she said them. She also mentioned the clothing by saying she had ‘borrowed a few clothes’ as had only gone with an overnight bag
On WAR’s defeat….
Hats off to all you pathetic, annoying, pajama-clad, partially anonymous bloggers.

THE PALIN FAMILY
(sung to the theme of “The Partridge Family”)
Hello world here’s the lifestyle we’re living,
C’mon get happy?
The Palins and the McCains got into some swinging,
Like with Grandpappy.
Five of us and mom working all day,
We knew we could help her brush up on her foreplay.
Bristol got Levi to sell us a bong,
And it really came together when Wooten came along.
C’mon down and see what we’re slinging,
But make it snappy
A whole lot of lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’
We’ll make you happy!
We’ll make you happy!
We’ll make you happy!

OMG, I glanced at your post and saw “partially-clad” …… and mentally checked what I’m wearing!
New POMS needed to Alaska legislators (all):
http://www.legis.state.ak.us/poms/
“Alaskans need to work together to seek funding for good hydro-projects that do not negatively impact wild fish stocks.
HJR25 without mention of fisheries will hurt Alaskans in the long run, both in securing funding for needed hydro-power and for protecting Alaska’s wild fish stocks.
Reject HJR25, if not amended to include consideration of fisheries.”
Actual resolution as currently worded (put forward by Republican Rep. Bill Thomas HD5/sneaky attempt to fast track hydro funding without due consideration to fisheries).
Attempted once in House to be amended to include fisheries language by Gara.
Yeas for fisheries: Buch, Cissna, Crawford, Gara, Gruenberg, Guttenberg,
Holmes, Kawasaki, Kerttula, Petersen, Salmon, Tuck
Nays: Austerman, Chenault, Coghill, Dahlstrom, Doogan, Edgmon,
Fairclough, Foster, Gardner, Gatto, Harris, Hawker, Herron, Johansen,
Johnson, Joule, Keller, Kelly, Lynn, Millett, Munoz, Neuman, Olson,
Ramras, Seaton, Stoltze, Thomas, Wilson
Now before the Senate. Here’s the actual resolution. More details in Forum Action Alerts.

Wonderful news. So happy for Alaska. This may well be the beginning of the end. Expect retribution; Todd fights nasty. I imagine WAR does, too. He obviously thought he was going to be her “personal” attorney in the massive fight against the Legislature. How much longer til her re-election bid?
Everybody try to make sure you catch Colbert tonight. He did His OWN parady (with his own actors ) of the NOM “National Organization for Marriage where they have the ‘storm is brewing’ line…. about fearing gay marriage etc… He skewered them really good.

Senate?? What you going to do???
lynnrockets what can you do with “Moon River”?
I keep hearing “Two grifters, off to sleaze the world, it’s such an easy world to sleaze.”…………….
Parts of the speech are up at c4whatever.
Here is the link about tonight’s speech by naliP … taking on Obama and stem cell research and abortion rights (or not) from HuffPo.
Wonder why she isn’t at home taking care of State business? The “massive” crowd/dinner was 3,000 so they say.
