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’.

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.

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… )

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.

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…

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
