The Mudflats

Tiptoeing Through the Muck of Alaskan Politics

The Big Kodiak Kiss Off.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 48 hours since Alaska became Palin-free. The parties, the polls, the articles, the late night talk shows… We’re all still getting it out of our systems. There are a lot of other things going on in the state and the wider world, but we still need to have our own ways of releasing… of letting her go… of detoxifying our systems.

Mudflatter MM in Kodiak threw a “Just Desserts” party to bid a sweet farewell to Sarah Palin, whose gubernatorial performance assessment was immortalized in frosting.  Wackiness ensues.

Signage outside marked the event location.

A lipsticked pitbull, and a dead fish going with the flow add to the subtle message.

(GASP!)  The guest of honor is horrified!

Hey, frosted treat!  How ’bout ya quit makin’ stuff up!

There’s only one way to deal with this bogus, asinine, ankle-biting dessert!

This is what we do with hatin’, smart-mouthed confections here in A-LAS-ka…

    Just a question for you folks in Alaska: How can the legal slush fund pay Mooselini’s legal bills unless she cooperates with the Trust? If you are the manager of the trust, you would need to have an auditable trail of invoices, which means that Mooselini’s lawyer has to send them to you, but he can’t do that unless she authorizes it because that would involve a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, wouldn’t it? What he spends his time on would ordinarily be confidential, I would think. So she has to have some agreement with the trust that if she authorizes the release of the billing records to the trust, the trust won’t release them more broadly, wouldn’t you think? And if that’s the case, how is the trust acting independently of her? Just askin’.

    One prune cake, frosted: $12.

    Cute, but please tell me the misspelling of GoveRnor was intentional on the cake. Maybe it was supposed to be Covenor as Sarah was such a witch?

    There will be cakes with pitbulls on them, and cakes with lipstick on them – but surely there will never be another cake with dead fish on it. :)

    But it’s great to know the Rock was so well represented!
    We celebrated also too by drinking copious amounts of Jesus Juice and eating dead fish.

    How cute.
    But a Sarah Palin pinata would have been fun to take a bat to. Donchaknow?
    Im from the lower 48. I saw the sign that said “Texas you can have her.” Um, we don’t want her.

    Now, now, let’s not be disparaging prune cake.

    In the area where I live there are a considerable number of people of Icelandic heritage. And one of their culinary traditions is a dessert with thin layers of cake filled with a prune puree that is flavoured with lemon and cardamom. And it is delicious!

    Lol… you all need to drink a big glass of Haterade with that cake…lol

    I’d give anything to be a fly on the wall in Parnell’s office. They prolly partied more than all of us!!

    Can we get down to the business of finding out who the daddy and mommy of triggy bear is now…PUH LEESE

    Wasilla WarriorNo Gravatar says:

    Alaskans sadly can not wash Palin out of our hair, we have to hold her accountable..
    We have to go after the e-mails and the ethics charges. We have to hold Parnell accountable to the people of Alaska, he has to do the right thing here and follow where the slippery slope leads, he doesn’t have a chance of attaining his personal political goals other wise. We need accoutability. What about the findings on the slush fund and the doctored E-mails…? What about the money and the lies..? What next..? We need to hound Parnell….she can not walk on all of this, Parnell needs to grow a set and be an Alaskan… That’s a great cake but we deserve our pound of flesh.

    My name is John, and I’m a Palinohlic. It has been two days since she was my governor and I can’t stand the withdrawal symptoms. I know she has torn our state apart, divided our country, and mangled the English language. And yet, I still can’t stop myself from reading anything I can find about her. Also too, I miss seeing her wink.
