Palin Ethics Complaint – The Next Generation
Today, a brand new ethics complaint was filed against Sarah Palin. No, you’re not reading an old post by mistake. This is a new generation of ethics complaint. Ethics 2.0, if you will. It has been filed based on information revealed when ethics watchdog Andrée McLeod reviewed emails she obtained in response to a public recors request for copies of email communications by long time Palin friend and aide Kris Perry.
This from a press release issued today:
Alaska resident and registered Republican Andrée McLeod has filed an ethics complaint with the attorney general’s office charging that the Governor’s Chief of Staff Mike Nizich, his assistant Randy Ruaro and current and former staffers Kris Perry, Rhonda McBride, Bill McAllister, Shelley James, Linda Perez and Mark Kelsey with violations of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act as they used state resources for national Republican McCain/Palin campaign purposes.
The Ethics Act states that a public officer may not use or authorize the use of state funds, facilities, equipment, services, or another government asset or resource for partisan political purposes.
“Typical of a culture of corruption, these public officials got into the bad habit of misusing state resources to collaborate with McCain/Palin campaign workers and each other on partisan political campaign matters,” Andrée McLeod said. “What they did is flat-out wrong.”
“The law is clear on this. Notices on campaign related prohibitions were distributed to employees three times in 2008,” McLeod said. “Yet, these high-ranking public officials let everyone down by not abiding by the rule of law. I’m certain these emails are the just the tip of the iceberg.”
McLeod continues, “They must all be held accountable for their misconduct. Fortunately, the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act allows for that – even for the ones who quit.”
There are 213 pages in the ethics complaint. Attached to the document are all pertinent emails showing state staffers engaging in campaign business on their state email accounts.
I thought this one was entertaining. It comes from Dan Wilmot (DASD for Intergovernmental Affairs) to John Katz (Director of State/Federal Relations and Special Counsel to the Governor). I have added emphasis just for fun.
The date: November 6, 2008 – two days after the election. (JIFFY POP ALERT!)
John,
It was a bad night on Tuesday, but we will get over it and move on.You are probably getting a lot of unsolicited advice and I apologize for doing the same. I would love to talk with her or email her but leave that up to you all.
She is doing the right thing by staying 100% above the fray with all the reporting we are seeing about the infighting on the trail. It will probably get uglier before it ends but she needs to resist any thought whatsoever of engaging in it. These are staffers, they will get over it. I have been on a losing campaign and this is how it goes. Everyone points fingers at everyone.
I would get her out of the press for a while and schedule her next press outing be working a food line over thanksgiving for the homeless, or something like that.
She is Governor…People should stop with all the “Sarah” stuff and start reminding everyone that she is a Governor of a very big state. Everyone keeps talking about and reporting about her being a mayor. Upcoming press should really key in on her being a Governor. Cabinet meetings, signing laws, budgets discussions, etc…
Now…when stevens retires or is kicked out of the Senate, she needs to appoint her self to the post. she will have to do a run off 90 days later but that is no big deal. She is loved in Alaska and McCain actually won the state easily. This will bring her to Washington, meet the right people, and position herself to “the next step” whatever that is.
So, basically she did the complete opposite of every single suggestion in this email.
And then there was this one to Kris Perry from someone named Kristie:
Just wanted to say CONGRATS! As you well know, there are so many pressing in praying for Sarah as well as YOU and those who are hands on! Praying a “Teflon coating” on her, that as the heat rises nothing sticks, same for you!
Kris, you are ministering to our nation in an awesome way, through your gift of administration! Praying strategy, wisdom, strength and favor! Blessings!
The Teflon prayer… Never heard of that one.
Then there’s this one from Senator Jerry Grafstein, Q.C. (Toronto Office) who can’t quite get that title right (not that you NEED a title)
I could not be more delighted with Senator McCain’s nomination of your boss, Senator Sarah Palin, as the Republican Vice Presidential nominee. [snip] I was most impressed when I met Senator Palin in Philadelphia this summer, especially her handling of the Governor’s Forum in Alternative Energy.
Best wishes to her and you.
P.S.: I will send you a speech I did some time ago on building a “chunnel” from Russia to Alaska to open up rail and economic exchanges, etc., with North America, if interested.
I can see the Russian Chunnel from my house! (God, I’d love to see the cost estimate for a chunnel from Siberia to Nome, and a road connecting it to Canada.)
And then there was a well-meaning pharmacist from Texas who offered his idea for some powerful closing lines for the Vice Presidential debate. And they got forwarded along to Sarah Palin and all of the inner sanctum to see if it “felt right.”
We remember Martin Luther King for his dream.
We remember John F. Kennedy for his “Ask Not.”Well I think our names may speak of our destiny.
Obama/Biden
The only letters that match is the letter “B”.
I think that’s Bad. (spoken with a Sarah Palin gouge)On the other hand, the names McCain/Palin have matching “A”s
they have matching “I”s
they have matching “N”s
that leaves MCCPL
Make the Correct Choice for Productive Leadership.Our Destiny is Our Victory.
(You may want to shuffle the words differently if you like and you have my permission to quote me.)
*** *******, a Pharmacist from Texas
[Name redacted to save him any further embarrassment] It’s amazing that Palin will not go down in history with the catchy memorable phrase “MCCPL – Make the Correct Choice for Productive Leadership. It had such promise, such flow, such unforgettable catchiness.
For those who want to sift through the whole 213 pages, they are posted on The Huffington Post HERE.

Wow! I’m sure that those emails have all sorts of nuggets to enjoy
I see Andree has been busy sorting through and trying to read between the lines of the e-mails she has received so far. Linda Biegel has received some e-mails, too, but it sounds like they are partially redacted and not really complete. What a job, but I’m glad they have the ambition to take this on. I’m sure there have been more ethics violations than what has been reported on yet, so I look foward to seeing if anything that comes out of these e-mails will stick. Sarah does seem to have the gift of “Teflon” and things somehow slide off her. No time for any of the watch dogs to quit, even though Sarah did!
palin may seen to be teflon coated but If she believes God manages things he made sure President Obama won over her and McShame.So in the long run God took the President over anything she had to say.Must really get her goat.Seems God did not want her in the oval office or anywhere near it.
I knew someone besides Linda had wanted e-mails but couldn’t remember who.Heres hoping Linda finds what she was looking for.
FWIW…”teflon president” was Ronald Reagan, referring to his ability to get into politically ‘dirty’ areas but emerge with his reputation and popularity unscathed and with no ‘mud’ sticking.
I don’t quite see why the last two you listed are deserving of an ethics complaint — they appear to be from random people, with dubious advice, and it’s hard to blame the recipients for them.
The first one, strategizing about the senate seat is pretty clearly campaign type stuff, and the second is unclear (what is meant by “ministering to our nation”??), but the latter two seem to be kind of a stretch…
Not that I doubt that some government employees ended up doing or discussing campaign work while on the state’s payroll — avoiding it would have been pretty hard for staffers who were corresponding (or traveling) with Sarah Palin on a regular basis during the campaign
Bwaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa……(wiping eyes)
OMG that is TOO funny~!!!! Thanks, AKM. ROFLMAO
Can’t….stop….laughing….
BHT@5: The pharmacist’s contribution was apparently received by the Governor’s staff in AK. Since it was not in any way state-related information, it should not have been forwarded by AK state employees to the Sarah AND McCain campaign inner sanctum. THAT elevated the act from simply forwarding a message to engaging in partisan political activity.
BHT: That “advise” should have been sent to the McCain campaign not the state of Alaska, and the sender should have been told that with the prepared script. Alaska doesn’t pay state employees to work on national campaigns.
Furthermore, no state employee should have been getting paid by the state to travel with Palin. The governor should have handed the reigns of the state to her lt gov.
@5 BHT: Dan Wilmot and John Katz are not “random people”, they were members of the AK administration. Who are prohibited from engaging in partisan poltical activity, such as the “advice” in the emails.
The other folks AKM quoted were, I believe, just for fun.
Wow.
And I thought I was going to get to sleep tonight…
Thanks AKM and kudos to Andree (o:
MCCPL looks like it should be Roman numerals. If the pharmacist could have fit in another C, he could have had M -”USSR”-L. Oooooh.
I’m also in doubt about the pronunciation:
McCrapl
MuckPeel (as in cleaning your boots after a walk on the Flats)
There is probably a reason why few pharmacists have achieved notoriety as advertising wizards. (Not a slam at pharmacists — I haven’t either).
Actually, wouldn’t this have been the appropriate time for Palin and staff to use the Yahoo or Google mail accounts? Perhaps for all this stuff pertaining to her VP run? This would indeed have been the correct time for them all to move from the State of Alaska email system and onto private accounts.
That makes a bit of sense.
I’m not a bit surprised that more unethical behavior is coming to light. I just checked out her Facebook page and she has this statement: “My brother passed the following along to me because he thought I’d like it; he was right. Enjoy… and please honor America’s finest.”
Then there is a lengthy list of what a soldier is. Yes, her brother passed it along, but I would have thought she would cite the real source for it. I knew that I’d read it in the past, so I simply googled the very first item in the list. Surprised? NOT – It is a talking point from the GOP website.

I wonder if any of Palin and her friends and family are capable of an original thought or if they must always take other’s words as their own.
She hasn’t yet made a response on FB as to this latest filing. It will be interesting to see how she reacts. I’m still so angry that she’ll be on Fort Hood today!
an artist’ melody..in sterling, ak. north of anchor pt. we had land, bluff side..it was sluffing down, a hundred feet to the beach. our rabit ear-reception left us with JIM AND TAMMY-FEY BAKER!!..1979-80. ON TV-the Hypocrisy and the (church/building packed with fully crazed soul-searchers!..SOUL-SEARCHERS!? So the money was sent/spent..ultimatly they were busted.
So the illusion was built..TV always coming in just a little fuzzy..hold it there!..as we watched TV in-b-tween tides, we were long lining in a 16′ skiff..We are wit. to the religious grandiose/shitza filled..TV event..Todd and Tammy/Sarah/Fay Baker-Palin event!..IRS? PURGER? maybe a lying-dope smokin’ oxy-cottin Wasilla low life!..no wrong..she is very much like Tammy/Jim..she and the hustler hubby TODD!
Did Chuck Junior serve in the military? No.
Did Chuck Senior serve in the military? No.
Did Sally? No.
Did Sarah serve in the military? No.
Did Todd? No.
But Wooten and Monegan did.
so what will they do to her if they find her guilt of these charges.i mean really ..her ‘fans’ thinks she can walk on water…judas priest.
check out my friends blog if you get a chance…

Are there more emails that have not been read? I truely hope so! Some that will expose this fraud for whar she is ! So much so, that she will never ever get close to the WhiteHouse in no shape, form or fashion!!
Teflon prayers? Well, that’s a new one.
It amazes me that here we have further proof of, not only Sarah’s ethics misdeeds, but also of her total lack of common sense. When I read the suggestions of how she should handle herself following the election, it sounded like good advice. But she is so convinced apparently that she knows better than everyone else and continued down her path of being mavericky and going rogue that she really made things so much worse.
And that last bit with the pharmacist was a hoot. I couldn’t quite figure out where he was going with that whole letter thing. It’s like a big puzzle but when you find out the solution, it still doesn’t make any sense. But it was quite entertaining.
OK, one other thing has been bothering me. I can understand how Chuck Heath Jr wasn’t in the military. He wasn’t old enough when they quit the draft. But how did Palin’s dad miss being in the military? I found an article that said he graduated from high school in 1956. That should have at least landed him in some sort of military service. Being a teacher would not have warrented a deferment.
Was the press release attack on Levi an ethics violation?
She & her staff will be found innocent of any violation. They will claim that they were inundated with all of this stuff and that is to be expected when someone who is such an unknown is chosen.
Does anyone really believe that she will be found guilty of anything? Haven’t we seen time and again how they allow her to get away with this stuff, even when it is obviously wrong? They allowed her to pay back money and claim she did nothing wrong. They dismissed out of hand the Arctic Cat stuff….
I am glad Andree is following through with this stuff as it is the right thing to do, but let’s not get excited thinking that the State of Alaska will actually hold Palin accountable for anything she does. Call me a pessimist, but honestly we’ve seen how they work.
What really caused $carah to quit the governorship? Sure, there was money to be made, but she also lost the power to control investigating her regime, too. In her simple mind, she probably believed quitting would shield her from any future criminal prosecutions.
Her quest for “fame” is more important than the people of Alaska. You folks should be mad as hell and make plenty of changes, cut and dried, to ethics violations of those holding office or those simply working in govt who carry out the orders of the elected and protect them.
Hilarious & also too isn’t there an element of poetic justice?
Wasn’t her main pre-gubernatorial corruption-buster “cred” from calling out the head of the oil commission for spending time/resources on party politics while on the job?
(Of course, I believe the theory that it was just Miss Quittypants’ way to get out of a position she wasn’t qualified for which would require actual work also too)
My thanks to Andrée McLeod and to you for exposing more of the abuses of the public trust by this grifter/quitter/sociopath. It’s a vicious, but delicious, circle. The more dirt is uncovered, the more visible and outrageous Palin becomes. I think Fate (she would call it God) is working in her favor, leading her to become a serious contender for the GOP nomination in 2012. As a Democrat, I could not be more delighted!
My family is replacing our teflon coated pans due to the cancer risk.
Yes, Sarah Palin began her run for state-wide office by filing ethics complaints against the Murkowski administration.
Let’s jump in the time machine and go back to 4/22/05 where the headline read….
Ralph Seekins Sought To Make Palin a Criminal For Making Her Ethics Complaint Against Murkowski Public
AP – Seekins proposed bill would have sent Sarah Palin to jail for speaking publicly on the Renkes ethics complaint that was not settled until Renkes resigned from office. Seekins said his bill would protect accused official from the “political weapon” of publicizing ethics complaint that have not been settled.
What’s that law of karma? “Whatever you do to others – will be done to you, in this or any future incarnation of your soul.”
As you say, popcorn time!
Anon in Palmer: It is well documented that more democrats and members of the “liberal” media served in the military than the Republicans.
Al Gore, yes, Bush, no, and we don’t count pretending to be in the Air National guard. Cheney, NO. Markos at Dailykos, the biggest progressive site is a marine, Rush, no, deferred for hemoroids.
The VET organizations that try to help these people when they return, are progressive groups like Vote Vets.
shakin’ my head… seems like Kris Perry has the same nonsense affliction that $P does. Can’t hardly keep up with her sentence structure.
Go Andree!!! Teflon…. “holy Geeze”
Yikes, I read 20 pages of nothing but ethics violations. The citizens of AK should DEMAND the players involved return any salary they reaped during this time as they were CERTAINLY NOT working for the people of AK.
I read all of the e-mails last night on Huffpo. It took me a long time to get thru them. If you haven’t read them, you should, very interesting. Many times I had to go hmmmmmm. It appears she ran the whole campaign from the gov’s office. I too am not holding my breath that anyone will do anything about it, but isn’t this a huge no no? It wasn’t one or two, it was page after page after page…….. Way to stick with it Andree!!! You have more b@lls than most.
I’ve been reading some of the emails and have come to the conclusion that a good number of them do not go to the point of the ethics complaint. Andree really ought to have someone(s) read thru this stuff before she files.
That said, I’ve opined before, and will do so again, that the appearance last year was of some state staffers going along on the campaign trail for no purpose other than to enjoy the experience. All on the taxpayer dime. Those are the folks who ought to reimburse the State of Alaska for their travel costs and paychecks.
Considering the mess the Alaska state government was left in while Palin was on the campaign trail, it is reasonable for me to voice my opinion that state work was NOT being conducted by people who were collecting paychecks. That puts all that into the realm of no-show-job – a federal violation.
She is Governor…People should stop with all the “Sarah” stuff.
How long after this memo was “Sarah” on Oprah’s show, hawking her bitchy biography and making snide, catty remarks about her son in law?
Can I just go down the street and use sister’s turkey grinder?? Her legal team will hopefully cost millions…. just what billy gramham’s gulfstream, ooops…bus fleet….. was meant for….whizzing from legal firm to legal firm for months…..teehee….
AKM, I can’t wait until you get up the courage to post some more of those ‘pesky’ emails.
When will Palin and Co. ever learn that emails, videos, audio recordings, etc., are here for ever? I guess she didn’t think about that. Can’t wait also, too, for the rethuglican’t primary when the other thugs use all of the above against her. She won’t be able to blame President Obama for that! I suppose she’ll just blame the ‘opposition researchers’.
“Kris, you are ministering to our nation in an awesome way, through your gift of administration! Praying strategy, wisdom, strength and favor! Blessings!”
What a strategy for running a campaign! Bet her witch doctor will become part of her staff, if not Chief of Staff.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Just the “Teflon Prayer” line alone should be enough to sound little alarm bells throughout the MSM–but I’m not holding my breath. All the Uber Xtian leaders have piles of garbage hiding in huge black plastic bags, but very little of the trash pokes through and sees the light of day. Loads o’ “prayer,” loads o’ Teflon, loads o’ hush $$$$, IMO.
Maybe we can hope that at last, some of Sarah’s refuse seeps out from under the Hefty bags and reveals her seedy back story, thanks to those pesky bloggers and commenters who have the tenacity to put on the heavy gloves (along with clothespins on their noses) to weed through it all!
Not made my way all the way through yet nor puzzled out ethics lapses stuff yet-
but found it interesting that SP’s staff was sent a letter from Illinois gun group guy detailing his upset with State Senator Obama’s purported stance on 2nd amendment/guns…
Could it be that they will deny ethical lapses because they didn’t read anything which came to them…?
Since none of them EVER seemed to understand Mr Obama had served in his own state senate for a number of years…?
In a way these emails could be good fun, but then again, they reveal a very narrow ideology and agenda that has nothing to do with representing all the people of the State of Alaska.
For the fun stuff, Dan Wilmot was woefully optimistic. Instead of serving turkey to the homeless, Sarah (oops, I’m sorry, Governor) served up a brutal turkey execution. Staying above the fray? He did work for her up to election day right? He knew who they were talking about?
If Kris Perry has a gift of administration, I’d hate to see what her weaknesses are.
And that Texas Pharmacist, the one I’m sure that witholds birth control and the morning after pill from all the womens, could get great work at cheerleading camps in that great State down there. What a genius. HIS suggestions made the grade for the Palin camp? Forwarded all the way up? Oh, oh ho ho, ha ha ha, bwahahahahahahahahahaha! Let me wipe these tears from my eyes. To think they could have snatched victory with that brilliant acronym.
There are laughs, but I’m sure as this expose sheds more light on the way the Palin Administration handled daily business, this is going to further add salt to our abandoned nerves. She quit, she quit for very good reasons other than the pursuit of unfettered wealth and Joe-Six-Pack adoration.
I love the Thanksgiving photo-op suggestion. Same folks who set up the “fishing” photo-op?
From here on in I will refer to your quittie former Governor as Mrs. Palin. No other name for the champion moosenuggeter of all time. A born Mrs. Malaprop.
Have you noticed that the majority of her photos are with an open mouth?
Just can’t stop yammering.
My question is, what are they praying does NOT stick? Are they really asking God to protect them from their own bad behavior? WOW…interesting.
My favorite one, I think I read it at HuffPo, is when they emailed the McCain staff to ask what $P’s position should be on abortion and contraception!!! THEY HAD TO ASK!!! The hilarity never ends. (wonder how C4P would respond to that???)
Sending out an endorsement press release on gov email of $p by your former governor is an obvious conflict. It is not just the use of email but the staff time as well. There are many other obvious examples.
Is this not what she had the former oil commissioner fired for, thus launching her “clean up government” meme.
@trisha – My thoughts exactly. Teflon prayers? What a farce.
On Huffington Post where on Facebook she is asking the President to boycott Cophenhagen.
In the statement, she claims to have never questioned the reality of climate change but she asks whether man’s activities have anything to do with it. She also rails against “snake oil” science, and says, “Policy decisions require real science and real solutions, not junk science and doomsday scare tactics pushed by an environmental priesthood that capitalizes on the public’s worry and makes them feel that owning an SUV is a ‘sin’ against the planet.”
Palin’s sudden enthusiasm for science comes as a surprise, since in her book, “Going Rogue,” she suggests evolution is not real and proposes teaching creationism in schools.
Sounds like Sarah Palin is the false Messiah?
I am just wondering about the e-mails that were sent on the Mayor–oops, I mean the Gov. of Alaska, when she served a smiggen of a term, private computer. Will these e-mails to be turned over. Was someone checking these out? This was done even before she was running on the ticket?
I am sick and tired of these people who think that only Republicans are patriotic. Our family are Democrats, and have served in the military since WW1. Some never made it home. My friend lost her son when he was shot down over the North Sea when returning from a mission. And she got more s&*$# e-mail during the election than you can count. And yes—Dick Chenney is among these draft dodgers. Wonder if he is still in his under-ground bunker as he spreads his poison.
Now is the time for Levi and ex brother-in-law to spill the beans. I am sure they could sink the ship.
These are not ethics complaints against $P, but against people who worked for her. Wonder if the AFT will be ponying up the funds to help them through it? I doubt it, somehow.
I knew technology would become her final gotcha….once that door is opened….phone records, etc…should become available for scrutiny some day, also too. Giddy-up. I’m going to stay optimistic. Does the information justify the State of Alaska (Parnell & Co.) keeping them from the public? You betcha.
My go on it is that not only were Sarah and Todd Palin as drunk as a political skunks could be,(alcohol doesn’t need to be involved) their drunken enthusiasm rubbed off on those around them. Happens all the time.
Round-up time, giddy up Diva.
Woops, sure glad I’m not sitting there with that on my plate a Christmas…I guess Parnell was feeling a little heat in the kitchen….you think?!
On another note on Parnell, he did come out and start addressing the state epidemic on child abuse, I don’t know if a lot of you mudpuppies are aware of our horrible record as a State in regards to this issue.
Makes one think the turkey-slaughter scene was an intentional F.U. to anyone who dared suggest what she SHOULD do.
Perhaps she really does have some (diabolical) brilliance.
Not to be a stick in the mud, but I’m sure there’s going to be some issues about incoming e-mails being considered a breach of ethics.
Unless the recipients provided their state e-mail addresses in a campaign environment, replied or blatantly engaged in the type of conduct being alleged it’s going to be tough to move this forward. Andree would have had a stronger argument if she pared down the complaint to demonstrated 2-way communication.
If I remember correctly, didn’t Sarah file a similar complaint against the head guy in the Republican Party of Alaska back when she quit her job on the energy council?
Some of these emails are easily deflected, but there are many that seem to show (to me, anyway) how Mike Nizich and Kris Perry and others on her staff were quite involved in helping the McCain campaign with talking points, arrangements, and so on. And the McCain people sent talking points to governor’s staff. I had lots of questions. Why did Kris Perry apparently have a McCain HQ email address? Why is Meg Stapleton (using a McCain email address) asking Sharon Leighow of the governor’s office to give info on the Gravina Road to CNN? Why is Marty Rutherford of DNR coordinating with McCain operative Bexie Nobles on BP meetings? Why are emails FROM McCain’s office TO state staff redacted? Why does one email give Stapleton’s state cellphone number and yet she seems to be working for McCain? Mike Nizich, her chief of staff, is all over the place in these emails–giving McCain people explanations about Monegan to answer questions from the press, for example.
And I hope Nizich’s $430 &630/nt stay at the Biltmore before the election was not on the state dime.
But there is also some highly entertaining stuff in here. It’s good reading.
As I continue to read thru, and re-read thru, this batch of emails, something basic occurs to me: if S’error Palin no longer is governor and these emails were very recently produced, why are there so many redactions under the claim of “deliberative process”??
S’error Palin no longer is governor, therefore there can no longer be a viable claim of deliberative anything. She no longer is involved in that process. Andree should appeal any and all such redactions, and should ask for a written explanation for each and every such redaction.
This is becoming a fun exercise. I hope to have a post up on my own blog (space limitations here in the comments section) as to my thoughts as to the relevancy and worth of each and every email I was able to d/l from HuffPo.
All BTQ$ had to do was:
A. Use her state email for business, and
B. Use her Yahoo email for personal.
To me, the crux of the current filing is against her cohorts, who probably did NOT sell their souls to the devil and agree to secretly worship Satan to get what they wanted.
But their fearless leader was setting the tone and pace that whatever they wanted to do was OK and fine, also, too…
When I was reminded thru the e-mails that she had called on Senator Stevens to explain why the feds were are his house, I got angry again. Ethical Sarah should have had the feds investigating her house and the similarites in some of the fixtures to the new sports facility that she is so famous for.
I’m sorry, but they actually passed around the pharmacists’ recommendation because they were considering it? That is SO high school… AK government must run like one big “special ed” class… (my appologies to the special ed folks!)
Do you guys need more hats or something? Is brain damage from brain freeze that common up there? (breaking out knitting needles… )
That Texas pharma-guy has a serious case of concrete thinking masquerading as abstract thinking.(Kind of like Palin, come to think of it.)
His suggested motto?: “Our Destiny is Our Victory”
Naw……Your Failure is Your Destiny……. Same as old Moose-Brains up yonder in el norte.
The teflon remark would point to The Great Reagan who they say once actually walked the earth in human form. If he is the mighty skillet that deep fried the commies singlehandedly then she is the saucy pan you cook down stupid remarks in to make a puree for dribling over your old tea bags. When that teflon wears and chips off it will make peole sick, like now. Her highness was in Dallas yesterday prompting one local to remark “You’d think Jesus was in there or somethin’.
