Palin Roundup – Make it Stop!
It’s hard to keep up with our traveling governor these days. Everywhere you turn, there she is. I’ve gotten more emails and links and stories than I know what to do with, and frankly the thought of writing up a whole post on each of these things gives me a precognitive headache just thinking about it. We’ve all got Sarah up to the eyeballs. But, for those of you who want to comment on any of the multitude of Sarah Palin stories out there, here’s the thread.
This is so “last week”
The Alaskan blog Mamadance has an excellent wrap-up of the Palin shenanigans last week here - Putting the P in WraP-uP just in case you missed anything.
Best Foot Forward?
Then, in the Big Apple, we had the mystery of the toenails. What the heck IS that on Sarah’s toes? You can vote HERE.
Number Crunchery
We’ve also found out that the “most popular governor in the country”….. isn’t. Nate Silver, numbers wizard from Five Thirty Eight reveals that Palin now ranks an ignominious 36 out of 50. Ruh roh… Who’s number one? Wyoming governor Dave Freudenthal. And he’s a Democrat! Go figure…
Now, children….
The Political Carnival asks, “Am I going to have to turn this blog around?” David Letterman zinged Sarah Palin with a “slutty flight attendant” reference, and she called him “pathetic.” Catch the whole story with videos HERE.
Begich Rising
Great article in Politico about the once semi-cozy, now chilly relationship between Governor Palin and Democratic Senator Mark Begich. Their approval ratings are in the same ballpark with Begich moving up and Palin…well…. Do you hear that whistling noise? That’s her approval rating plummeting from the cosmos and careening toward Earth.
And the former Anchorage mayor — perhaps emboldened by Palin’s nose dive in state opinion polls — has begun using the jet-setting governor as a political foil, contrasting his workmanlike, Alaska-obsessed approach with the glamorous governor’s appetite for Republican superstardom and the national stage. [snip]
Begich watchers say he’s trying to capitalize on the Palin paradox: The more she becomes the World’s Most Famous Alaskan, the more diluted her appeal to actual Alaskans, who expect their politicians to deliver federal funding — and not tabloid headlines.
Totally off subject but nowhere to post it
Yep, a Glutton for Punishment
but was reading C4Pee Pee…
ONE Christian Finally.. is bringing up the blatant in your face issue they should be at least piping about .. of course the woman/man was tore to shreds.. she/he responded very intelligently.. before they are removed as is typical here are a few
Paula & Christian & Guests said… The Lord does not support women wearing short skirts and red shoes. It’s haughty and certainly not modest. Ms. Palin should know this if she actually read the Bible. Shame on her. She needs to dress like a woman of the Lord. What would Jeus think?
Paula & Christian & Guests said… If Sarah is to be a true Christian leader, then the least she could do is dress according, regardless of what Lettermen said. If she dressed properly we wouldn’t be hearing about these comments, would we?
I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. (NIV, 1 Timothy 2:9-10)
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. (NIV, 1 Peter 3:2-5)
I grew up in a holy roller church.. I dislike Palin because of her snarkiness and just meanness.. it is creepy.. and more and more but she could be in a bikini and I could care less.. although that might be a little scary.. her current garb can be made curvy by the amazing lingerie these day (those rubber body shapers..) .. but in the church wearing makeup.. or too much, heels that were higher than a few inches.. basically you weren’t to try to be “Sexy” .. it creates “Lust” which is sinful.. I wonder why these “Christians” havent addressed it.. hello?

Weren’t they the jokers that put out that godawful “Conservative Women: Pretty in Mink” calendar?
Let me tell you, most of the conservatives featured on the calendar were as ugly on the outside as they were within, with the exception of Michelle Malkin. Her, it’s just what goes on under her scalp that makes me want to wash out my soul.
Mudflats is a must stop many times during my evening of cruising the news. Thanks for your hard work, AKM.
Right now, wrong or right, Sarah is thinking her trip to New York & points south was a 110% success. She accomplished what she set out to do – get exposure! Or was it to get exposed?
I wish I wish oh how I wish – that there would be a huge crowd in AK to greet GINO’s plane when she returns. There is no shortage of words to put onto the signs. Why not a protest? She has obviously made her intentiions clear (2012 candidate for POTUS) – so it is NOT too soon. There has to be more people fed up with her idiocy and antics than ever before (see refusing energy stimulus funds for just one example). What does a person like her DO if there is a large crowd of dissenters at the airport? Take their names and their “station call letters?” Maybe Alaskans for Truth still has enough funds and organizational skills in place to make it happen? Please?
And how ’bout that?!?!?! She’s ranked even lower than the CA Gov! With our financial mess, the voting down of the proposition, etc., he even outranks her!
I think those protesters waiting for her at the airport should wear some of the Palin T-Shirts:

OK…. most of that letter was just outright lies and made up stuff and a whole LOT of conspiracy theories from some WingNuts… BUT who in their deluded little head would ever say Palin was….
“America’s Margaret Thatcher”…? Is that because she THOUGHT she was speaking to France’s Sarkozy…? (or THINKS she can see Putin’s Head )
THAT is the dumbest statement I think I have ever heard.
Can someone forward this letter to David Letterman…. he could get at LEAST ten jokes out of this letter.
How about someone cut and paste this letter into the comments on the next Palin story on HuffPO…?
Thanks for the link to TPC guys! Big hug!
Oh thank you Jesus! No more Palin stories for awhile! I’ve been kind of curious – maybe because of the deafening silence coming from Juneau – but what’s Douchebag Doogan up to? Who’s he skulking now? And how’s Bob Poe doing? Is Les Gara ever going to move to Florida so we can send him to Congress?
ericmiami “Mudflats is a must stop many times during my evening of cruising the news. Thanks for your hard work, AKM.”
TRULY SINCERELY AKM is off the hook with smart, informative, comedic, news.
I have never ever seen anyone from Mudflats even hint at a donation or token of appreciation for all AKM does and we all see everyday how plentiful her actions are toward riding us of evil doers
I have been contributing to other sites, which are really great but never knew Mudflats accepts contributions as well. Someone shown me yesterday there is a little itty bitty link up on the right if anyone is so inclined.
If you ever get an itch to go get a cup of coffee or a Starbucks smoothie, I would sit back, grab a glass of ice water and toss a five or whatever to AKM. Never asked for, never expected but totally deserved.
If Palin, can all these B*S* funds to paint her toenails red we should start a fund for AKM to get out of dodge when Palin, is finally held to the mat and her govs badge removed
Cause, it is not going to be pretty.
It is my theory that SP is being seriously challenged in the “uber mom” dept by Liz cheney (5 kids also), a woman, who seems to be the true darling of the media circus. Whether this is the intention of the cheney crime family (or not, but I wouldn’t put it past them), methinks the days of SP’s fame are on the wane…. at least in terms of high national office.
Keep an eye on Liz cheney. SP may want money to challenge Baby Dick cheney.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted down (13 – 10) the use directional drilling to access energy resources in ANWR. The only Republican to vote against the plan was … John McCain. Looks like all Palin’s one on one time with McCain really had an effect on his position!
What really makes me mad is that as Sarah lashed out at Letterman, she said, It’s sad because it was all about the children. OMG….I almost puked.
I guess all those photo-opps weren’t about Sarah, but they were about the children. I guess the GOP dinner that she made a stink about wasn’t about her either.
If Sarah was so concerned about autistic children, she wouldn’t have to travel all the way to NY to “raise money”. She is the governor….how about actually doing something in Alaska for these children. She is such an opportunist and a fraud. It makes me angry that she says things like this without anyone calling her on it.
Our family has an autistic child (actually, now adult) and it really upsets me the way she, once again, paraded a child around for her own political gain. I guess she already used her own children, so now it’s time to move on to her nephew. She has no shame.

honestyinGov “OK…. most of that letter was just outright lies and made up stuff and a whole LOT of conspiracy theories from some WingNuts”
I thought Palin, made a big deal out of wanting to keep her PAC looting in Alaska. What happened the deposit address for those beggars is Virgina?
Gryphen had an incredible post yesterday to the palinidiots about slowly backing away from their checkbooks. It is a MUST READ. They won’t get the sincerity but her tried. (BTW, Gryphen is a guy right?)
TRISHA!!!! You are on it over on Twitter
I just remembered my Email address so I could retrieve my password to get back on, lol. You should send some stuff directly at dumbass. Ya know, she reads them.
Thanks for the shout out, AKM! And yes, you rock.
Poor Palin, LOL. Lettermen burst her bubble. She thought she was so hot running around N.Y. in those strappy ho shoes. Feeling like the belle of Spenard (For those not in AK, Spenard is red light district). Someone got a mirror held up, didn’t look pretty huh Palin.
OMIGosh, Palin, actually said she did not go to Bloomingdales as a retort to Lettermen? He is going to EAT HER for lunch. Ya know, Palin, provided a buffet of photos this past week, many very unkind to her behind. She needs to Sit Down & Shut Up.
Kudos to Letterman for saying what many have surely thought no one else has thus far had the courage to say publically–that the gov’nor dresses and acts like a ho.
SARAH WHO????????
Two quick things:
1) Wyoming governor Freudenthal is not only a Democrat, but a Democrat in a very Republican state. That says a lot of good things about the man.
2) Can someone please tell me one thing Palin has actually reformed? I keep putting that question on blogs where I find her supporters, but no one ever seems to have an answer….
OK, I read that whole nutty plea for money for SP. I found myself wanting to reply, point by point. But I just don’t have the time to do it.
However, at the end, with the note of support that people are supposed to sign and return (with money, of course) I was soooooo tempted to send it back with a few, em, edits to the text, things that I could actually say and believe. But they wouldn’t like it, and SP would likely never see it, so I don’t think I’ll waste my time.
I just played the GINO’s retort to Dave.
I sure hope she keeps mouthing off because she will make his monologue EVERY night ! ! I mean did no one tell her about Mccain backing out on Dave… and the result..?
Yeah… the campaign was going on but someone must have told her…
( Hey… somebody tell Dave’s joke writers to follow Mudflats for Palin stories..?)
And if she had a problem with ‘that’ line obviously nobody told her about the other line about her attending the Yankee’s game. (Don’t know the exact wording)
Dave said …she was there with Rudy and then said there was a little problem at the 7th inning stretch. It’s turns out A-Rod was fooling around with her daughter…( or A-rod got another one of the Daughters pregnant ). Something to that effect.
PLeeeeease… someone tell Her about THAT joke.
[ For the non-baseball people... A-Rod was the one fooling around with Madonna ]
I just tried to listen to the recording between Palin and JZ regarding Letterman. Sarah suggested that she was the subject of his jokes because it was a slow news day. I don’t think she knows that Letterman does comedy, and makes jokes about what’s in the news. What’s interesting is how thin her skin is, and how she has to defend herself against any comment. Even more telling was the utter denial of “incorporating” Newt’s comments almost word for word in her recent speech. She lives in a different reality.
Testing for Avatar
ValleyIndependent “Can someone please tell me one thing Palin has actually reformed?”
She transformed 500 MILLION of Alaska revenue to Transcanada play money.
Sarah needs to look up the word…” Diplomacy”.
Oh, why has no one informed Ms. P. of the role of the Court Jester, from an archetypal-historical context?
She is so humorless! Satire eludes her completely! She probably thinks Colbert is a conservative.
MudflatsSOS! Come to Loussac asap. ABT has bussed in ppl from the Valley to oppose ordinance. Very sad. We need your voices for equality.

Palin has to have the largest ego I have ever seen…and yes with her you can actually see it. It’s easy to see how she gets so easily upset when someone either challenges her or doesn’t like her. In her child-like mind she is the grandest of the grand and how can anything not like the Queen, the Queen can do no wrong.
It’s going to be interesting to see her reaction when the country or even Alaska (if she runs for re-election) rejects her. I wouldn’t want to be Toddy or the kids at that point in time.
Delusions of grandeur, you betcha….also.
AKM, you put my beer through my nostrils with this one:
“I expect by the time election season is in full swing, we’ll have them standing on street corners with “Poor Sarah” signs and little tin cups.”
Thanks for the belly laugh!
Is the Queen actually headed to Texas now as reported at “that other blog?” What is she doing there???

When did they set the PAC up? They blew through that in a few months? Me thinks, Coale floated some Palin, money through to his own account and his Scientology buddies because there is NOTHING to show for where Palin, has been that equates $400,000. Palin, must have also too gotten a FLUNKING grade in addition & subtraction. She is a fool to have trusted any one of them.
FYI, for fun, I click all the SPONSORED PAC, donation boxes I see over and over and over again. What is it a charge of like .25 every time someone clicks on them. I imagine Marge over there at palin headquarters giving up her $20′s a month to support Palin ) thinking she is making a sacrifice, probably late with her phone bill and with my help she is really handing it over to Google
Paula “——-Sad but true, while the Palin bots send 25 bucks for every evil comment we post, (or so they say). But we MF sure did help out Alaskans in need. Maybe AKM isn’t just about earning for HERSELF???? Hmmm…new concept?”
AKM has brought individuals together as family and what has been touched here goes far beyond the blog, truly making the world a better place. Priceless. The value of kindness circulated cannot be matched with a dollar sign. I am all for giving though. AKM shares so much, so often, anything that can be added to help continue the generosity, I feel is a pay it forward. Everyone benefits.
C O O L!!!
Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s ever-evolving saga on the American political stage now has a direct connection with Santa Cruz – or at least to one man in Santa Cruz.
Local writer and filmmaker Geoffrey Dunn, author of “Santa Cruz Is in the Heart,” found himself in the center of the embattled Alaska governor’s political life last weekend after he alleged in a story on the Huffington Post that Palin, in a speech last week, lifted passages from Newt Gingrich without attribution.
Dunn’s charge has a bigger context. He is, in fact, writing a book about Palin and her political career in Alaska. The book, to be published by St. Martin’s Press, is scheduled for a spring/summer 2010 release.

TOO funny, take the quiz. What’s Palin doin is Texas?
http://conservativesforsarahpalin.blogspot.com/
What a load of crap regarding the Booth Luce letter! What is her loyal service to the country? Is it because her son is in Iraq or the fact that she was the VP nominee? WTF! And I wouldn’t mention her proven track record as Alaska’s governor – it’s not something to brag about. And this is what really gets me – accusing liberals of the church fire. Wow – that really is desperation. I do not believe the police have figured that one out, yet this letter claims to know who the culprit is. I live in Wasilla and I think I would have heard if the cops found the perpetrator and that person was a flaming liberal (how would you even know that?). Unbelievable. Who falls for this s–t?
Sarah Palin is powerful???
Hell’s bells but in a role where she could have been the nation’s most powerful voice on abstinence, not only she not keep herself from getting pregnant prior to marriage, she failed with her daughter as well. That’s some mightiful power.
I’m betting that she’s so powerful that if she pulled on my finger, she’d make me ___________ (fill in the blank). Or not.

Sarah Palin, powerful? Yeah, right. Sarah Palin is only powerful amongst the psychos in the shrinking far-right wing base. Conservatives hate Barack Obama because they are bigots, and can’t stand that he is the most powerful person in the world! He is the President of the U.S. He is the leader of the free world! Something Sarah Palin will never be. Sarah Palin is not the most popular governor, anymore. But President Obama is one of the most popular people in the world! And conservatives can’t stand it! Sarah Palin and the Palinbots are a bunch whiny toddlers. Geez.

Enjoy the moments!
Barack Obama could top $400,000 in one month. I don’t believe SarahPac made $400,000 in a month. During the campaign the McCain campaign would lie about her and John McCain’s crowd sizes at their campaign rallies. Trying to top Barack Obama. Never. Sarah Palin has never drawn 100,000-200,000 people like Barack Obama has. If SarahPac was making so much money, why would she need to charge people $5,000 for a picture with her? Plus, Palin and her people lie all the time. They are desperate. Sarah Palin and her followers act like they are in junior high. She is unprofessional. She is worse than George W. Bush. Palin think’s she’s going to get a free ride in 2012. The republican primaries are going to be a blood bath. (And of course, Palin’s mouth will surely get her into more trouble.) I can’t wait to see how this psycho reacts. Palin and the conservatives won’t be able to blame the liberals. But they will, anyway. Conservatives, and Sarah Palin are jealous of Barack Hussein Obama.
Homophobics.

AKM is in the THICK of it right now!!!
The Anchorage Assembly has begun a public hearing on a controversial ordinance that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The measure has packed the panel’s chambers, with people spilling over into the Marston Theatre.
Hundreds of people are also outside the building, lining each side of the drive in front of the Loussac Library.
Red clad opponents toting signs that say “No on 64″ — the number of the ordinance — are on the south side. Supporters are on the walks closest to the building, loudly chanting “Separate Church and State.”
Eagle River-Chugiak Assemblyman Bill Starr and city finance officer Sharon Weddleton stepped outside to watch. They said they’d never seen anything like this at an Assembly meeting in Anchorage. Starr said everyone seems to be trying to stay civil.
Security guards at the door to the meeting room collect driver’s licenses as people want to step out. People have to identify their own license from a three-inch thick stack in the guard’s hand when they return.
Assembly chair Debbie Ossiander says 180 people have signed up to testify as of about 5:15 p.m. Ossiander says she feels obligated to let all of them have a chance to be heard, but reminded everyone there’s a three-minute time limit and that she will try to hold people to it.

hey, that’s classy, and not very security sound.
My spouse, who doesn’t follow politics except to vote, even said to me today, “Palin’s in the news again. Why? You can’t understand anything she says. And what is she wearing! And what’s that on her toenails! She must be stupider than I thought.”
To myself, I was thinking, “You have no idea just how stupid she is.” I won’t bother to enlighten spouse, who is much happier going through life thinking that everyone has an IQ higher than a box of rocks and actually uses it to boot.
Yeah CT and NC (my old home and new home) !!!!! Both female govs. CT – a Rep who took over from a corrupt gop governor (now former felon) and has been in the job a few years and ranks #3. NC – Dem former Lt Gov, been gov here for just a few months. SP could learn a lot from both of these ladies.
Sorry My NC Gov ranks in just above SP at 35
Again, AKM, thank you for your work!
Why Things Become Unpopular
June 4th, 2009 By Lisa Zyga Enlarge
A recent study has found that the fall of an item’s popularity mirrors its rise to popularity, so that items that become popular faster also die out faster,

We can only hope…
GOP insiders talking critically about Palin after the Republican Senate House dinner/fundraiser:
“For a ‘woman of the people,’ she has got some learning to do,” sneered the insider. “Heck, she has a whole lot to learn. And get some decent staff around her. Most of the mistakes since November are not people out to get her. They are 99 percent self-inflicted by her own staff who are simply not up to the job of effectively serving a national political figure, which is what she has become.”
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2009/06/09/sarah-palin-snubs-washington-insiders-at-senate-house-dinner.html
—————————————————-
I agree that her mistakes have been ” 99 percent self-inflicted” but I’m not so convinced that it’s ALL her staff’s fault. It’s patently obvious that Palin clutches tetanically to the control of all decisions in her sphere of influence….and she’s totally refractory to learning. As a result, her poor decisions have resulted in an embarrassing, unending string of mistakes and goofy gaffes….making her appear unpredictable, unstable, and untutored.
The GOP may “use” her for fund-raising etc. but it’s clear from increasingly public GOP comments, (as in the article above, Gingrich’s comments in April, and the McCain staffers last fall), that not even the GOP takes her seriously.
A whole battalion of savvy advisors couldn’t turn this sow’s ear into a silk purse….and she wouldn’t let them anyway. She’s proud of being a sow’s ear. More power to her…..a sow’s ear belongs on a sow which belongs in a barnyard wallow. She can “screw political correctness” while wallowing….
Kerryann63, welcome to NC. Hope you enjoy it here. I’m a native Tar Heel and I love my state.
I can’t believe John Ziegler is back on the radio. Wonder how long he’ll last before being fired, again? Loved the way he called anyone who attacks SP a terrorist.
Kudos to Phil Munger for his appearance on the Eddie Burke show. There is an audio tape on Progressive Alaska of the exchange between Phil and Eddie. Phil was trying to ask Thomas VanFlea a question, but Eddie jumps in and talks over Phil and TVF never answers Phil’s question.
Thank you to AKM for all the excellent coverage you and the boots on the ground mudpups provided this weekend. Also, would like to give a shout out to Hope, her hubby, and carivan guy…you guys are the best.
is palin responsible for this “also too” ???

couldn’t resist
#26 Isabella – LOL – sorry so late catching up -
#46 BS said “I live in Wasilla and I think I would have heard if the cops found the perpetrator and that person was a flaming liberal (how would you even know that?).”
I live here, too, and it would have been all over the local paper if they had figured out who did it and why.
If there was an award for jumping to conclusions, her supporters would get it.
@BS
Who falls for this s–t?
———–
a flaming fundie conservative…make that plural
Sourkraut. Correction. Palin makes Brittney Spears look SMART!
And just wondern. Does Toddy ever go to work? or is just a giggalo who is feeding off mama’s cash? Never see him pick up the old lunch box and head off to a J O B.

Guess they found someone else ‘qualified’ to read the meters ….
************** ALERT ************************************
Clare Booth Luce Institute Letter Is probably a Scam (I put probably because of libel laws) and NOTHING TO DO WITH PALIN AT ALL.
The requested donation is for the Clare Booth Luce Institute not Palin. I can’t see a “Sarah Palin approves this message” or similar (or is that necessary for this?).
Effectively they are looking to raise money off the Palin name/controvesies.
They send out a letter all about how someone in the public eye is being attacked, make it look as if they are organising a support campaign and then ask for money for THEMSELVES not for the person they claim to support.
They are looking for DUMB people.
An Alaskan resident should be able to ask SP if she is aware of it.
This should be forwarded to SarahPAC, Alaska Government etc for confirmation or not that Palin is involved and, if not, we can watch the infighting that developes.

Forgot to suggest above post needs tweaking to correct the “MORE MONEY” section.
Apologies for this but it is better to be correct than have mud on your face.
regards
I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but I do know that the pic is no longer on Ms Chappell’s twitter.

RE: The Clare Booth Luce letter. I hope Michelle Eastman did her research better on the rest of the letter than in the part where she described John Lewis as a Congressman from Florida. He’s from Georgia.
She has no sense of humor, she is so busy trying to flirt and look like a beauty queen. She was talking to some yo yo on the radio and he mentioned the slutty stewardess line, and she said “I haven’t been to Bloomingdales” “must have been a slow news day” ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Since when are contributions to a political campaign tax-deductible?
Aussie Blue Sky “I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but I do know that the pic is no longer on Ms Chappell’s twitter.”
Doesn’t, Wolf, looked thrilled and seems David, got to her cause now Palin, dresses like she is going to a funeral. Although who knows since you cannot see her feet if she is totally ho free.
Is this lame duck going to stay out of state until the due date to pay back on her ethics violation passes? Someone should tell her she still has to pay it.
Who is Secretary Treasurer of the Claire Booth Luce Policy Institute?
Frank Donatelli.
Who was in charge of fundraising for SarahPac, before leaving the same day the Alaska Fund Trust was setup?
Becki Donatelli.
Yup, they are married.
OT: Anybody know what happened to the 2 guys who convinced McCain to pick SP as VP nominee? What soup line are thay standing in now?? Anbody know?
Rob in CA – Aha, the plot thickens. It’s funny, the article I read on Clare Booth Luce said that her voting record was rather moderate, even though she was very anti-communist and hung out with conservatives.
Let it Run – Do you know what those guys names were? I’d like to keep track of them, too!
I think I figured out the toenails–I think it’s supposed to be the Big Dipper and the North Star. And my guess would be rhinestones.
just googled Ms. Easton of the Clare Booth Luce Foundation – and she looks like the kind of woman who would worship at Palin’s altar.
Has the Luce family sued this person for stealing a family name?
also, the toenail painting looks like card symbols to me – hearts, clubs, etc.
or maybe it’s the witchdoctor’s incantation to prevent twisted ankles. Really, how can she walk in those things? And wearing them day after day – now we can assume she has a foot odor problem, which is way more than I care to know.
Sometimes I feel sorry for Alaska. Now that Blagojevich is gone, you’re stuck with the most excessive nutcase in high office. also too, you betcha
I thought the toenail looked like the Alaska flag.
The Bad Luck Fairy strikes again, Gov. Perry of Texas fractures collarbone, wasn’t Scarah off to Texas today?
@86 I will start my research…
@86 tigerwine: On teh OT post:
Look into Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter
Randy Schnueman (sp) was a vocal supporter of SP when the train was careening toward destruction…but he was Mac’s foreign policy advisor.
@Mattie

I know…I agree that you nailed it! Among ALL her other quirks and lack of knowledge, she doesn’t even have a sense of humor!! …the most basic human trait. Her answers never make sense, either.
@tigerwine and letitrun: Should be Steve Schmidt and Rick Davis.
OK, picky, picky of me. I’ve been away for a few days and haven’t yet read these comments so maybe someone has already noted this. Purchase IS NOT THE BIG APPLE. It’s nothing more than a subburb with some large corporations, including Pepsi which has a lovely sculpture garden and there’s a branch of SUNY (state university). But it’s not The Big Apple which is roughly 29 miles and approximately 45 minutes (when there’s not too much traffic) and several light years south of Purchase, NY. It’s a minor detail, true, but those of us who love The Big Apple will do whatever we can to keep the wormy Ms Palen out of it.
Well, now that I’ve read a bit more, apparently WHILE I WAS AWAY without benefit of computer or even real TV, someone let her into the City itself. I’m glad I missed it but I hope next time, someone will be more careful about shutting the door.
It’s become clear that Palin has no mind..she just gets wound up from time to time during the days…
I truly feel for you guys in AK..it’s got to be more than frustrating to have this bozo doing to your state every day what she says she wants to do to all the states…..NOT.
Medic and Let It Run – thanks for the names. I’m keeping track – you do the same!!
