Thank you Nancy, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. You nicely said
in your well written article what many of us have wanted to say
for a long time. I salute you for your honesty. May Andree
McLeod continue on with keeping people informed. We need more
people to speak up and fight for honesty and justice. The day will
come when Ms. Palin will have her day in court. Amen!

Phooey!

I am watching and listening in Canada, and so very glad there are people who are willing to do the right thing. ALL of you are – you (AKM), Shannyn Moore, Andrew Halcro and others, but especially Andree McLeod.

Because you are quite right – it is a thankless job, and whistle blowers end up being the recipients of hate mail, persecution and more. MUCH more, generally, than those they attempt to hold up to scrutiny and make accountable. Especially in Alaska, where it seems that to get on the wrong side of the Palins is to invite a huge amount of grief and potential legal action.

It is particularly galling to me that Governor Palin – whatever happens to her vis a vis the ethics charges and all the other information that will (and HAS) come out – will land on her feet. As usual. There seems little justice in the fact that she stands to make millions for her book deal and speaking engagements. All for being a dishonest, opportunistic, narcissistic so-called “servant of the people” who did not deserve to rise as far as she has. That last is in quotes because I (and most people with brains and the ability to see through the smoke continually being sent up by Palin and her groupies) realized very early on that Sarah Palin serves Sarah Palin. If ordinary Alaskans and hell – let’s just throw it in for good measure, since she seems to want to be on the national stage – ordinary Americans, actually benefit from her actions on behalf of herself, it is a happy accident. Or so it would seem.

I applaud you all for persisting in your goal of making Palin – and hopefully, through example – other politicians accountable. I know it is not done lightly, nor without some degree of harassment to yourselves. And I know, too, that you do it not from spite but from the desire to make people “walk the walk” (as a famous Alaskan is famous for saying).

What business is all this of mine, when I am a Canadian? Do I just like watching train wrecks? No. I will tell you what business it is of mine. It is frustrating to see anyone profit from dishonesty and greed and self-centredness. But it is especially frustrating to see it in elected officials who hold themselves up to be champions of what is ethical and right. We have our own [rather mundane, I will admit] political scandals. As do other countries. But Governor Palin has the dubious distinction of being right up there among the world’s worst and blatantly crooked politicians we have seen in a long time. The global community is a small one; citizens of the global community ignore these things at their peril. But they also, happily, stand to learn much from others’ quest for transparency and decency and honesty.

You have done your fellow Alaskans and people the world round a favour.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to contribute my thoughts on your politics.

I will bet that is what this is all about. Not her legal fees. Mz. Palin has become a high end shopaholic.

Where else would all those chocolate bunnies appear from? And the eggs? Who do you think decorates them all? IT’S THE EASTER BUNNY!

AKM’s mom must have been mistaken.

No Easter Bunny? Ridiculous and against all logic.

I learned then who was real and who was in it for himself.

I have been a fan of Andree McLeod since then, especially when she pisses off the “powers that be.”

I am grateful for Andree’s fearlessness, intestinal fortitude and persistence.
