Back Through the Looking Glass with Sarah Palin
Alright, you’re going to need lots of equipment for this one. Looking glass? Check. Time Machine? Check. Protective forehead padding? Check. First, you’ll need to watch this: “There were numerous instances where she said things that were not accurate that ultimately the campaign had to deal with, and that opened the door to criticism that [...]
Say it Ain’t So, O’Biden!
OK, ladies and gents. Sunday Night – 60 Minutes. Former McCain campaign advisor and Sarah Palin’s favorite Going Rogue whipping boy Steve Schmidt will be interviewed. Along with him will be the two authors of the forthcoming book Game Changer, about the 2008 presidential campaign. Hundreds of Democratic and Republican insiders were interviewed for what [...]
Going Rogue: Page by Page (A Resource and Links)
Yes, I read Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue – An American Life. I read it from cover to cover, including all the words. Why would I do this? Am I an unabashed masochist? No. The answer, my friend, is that I did it so you didn’t have to. My own copy is marked up in various [...]
I’m Gonna Scrub That Man Right Offa My Hat!
(Read this blog to the soundtrack of South Pacific’s “I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair”) Reports of sightings by Mudflatters in Hawaii have been increasing. Some pictures of Sarah Palin and her family on the beach have surfaced, which you knew they would. But this picture in particular gave me a good [...]
Tell Dems to Get a Spine! Lieberman Must Go.
In general, I try to tie stories here to the reality TV that is Alaska politics. And sometimes I talk about national issues. But seldom do I write about politicians from other states. Rod Blagojevich was an exception. And then there’s Joe Lieberman. Part of me secretly wishes that I lived in Connecticut because following [...]
Boots on the Ground – Going Rouge Coloring Book is Too Dang Controversial!

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 [...]
Palin Throws Self Under Bus.
(Looks at clock) OK, I’ve been waiting for days, and nothing. Not a peep. We remember, of course, that when Newsweek recently published a cover with a picture that Palin posed for during a Runner’s World photo shoot, in a cheesecakey pose, leaning on the flag which is draped over a bar stool, she cried [...]
Voices from the Flats – The Trooper in Troopergate Breaks His Silence.
Here’s something that will make you all chuckle. I remember back in the early days of Troopergate when it was first being reported that the governor had it in for a certain State Trooper named Mike Wooten who was formerly married to her sister Molly. Rumors were beginning to percolate that the newly removed former [...]
Chapter Five – The Thumpin’
The second-to-last chapter. There is light at the end of this long long tunnel. It reminds me of the escape scene from Shawshank Redemption. Only I’m not yet to the other end of the pipe… Page 341 Everyone wanted her to run for Senate against Lisa Murkowski who was vulnerable because she got the job [...]
Chapter Four – Going Rogue (Part 2 of 3)
Page 254 (Posted previously in sneak peek) A TV station in Alaska was willing to spend any amount to get a local reporter on the scene of the nomination to ask “simple, softball scripted questions,” but the campaign wouldn’t allow it. She was hoping the national media would pick up on the simple softball scripted [...]
Chapter Four – Going Rogue (Part 1 of 3)
I have not mentioned until now that each chapter begins with a quote. But this one, I have to share. It may not mean much to you if you have not already waded through the first three chapters, but here it is. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and [...]
Rogue Nuggets from the Pages of ‘Going Rogue.’
Well, thanks to my fairy godperson, I’ve landed the motherlode of Going Rogue pages, and have served you up a tasty breakfast smorgasbord of easily digestible Rogue nuggets. Let’s start with the most revolting quote: “There was a bright spot in Philly, and his name was Joe Lieberman.” It will be hard to top that [...]
