Well, I was better prepared for the second half of this God awful collection of tripe that Sarah Palin calls a “chapter.” “Better prepared” means that I’d pre-medicated with a little fermented sugar cane (rum).  So, let’s not stop and think about it too much.  It’s like ripping off a Band-Aid, just get it over [...]

OK, I’m saying it flat out. This chapter was crap.  It was like a crap sandwich, only the bread was also crap. Crap on crap with a side of crap.  I read it in one sitting and I kept checking ahead to see how many pages were left.  I pet the dog, I reclined on [...]

And so we begin the blogging of the book.  Today, it’s just the Introduction, which will give us all a chance to steel ourselves for what is to come.  As usual my internal mutterings will appear in red. Page ix – The scene opens at the Boston Tea Party rally last spring.  And the first line [...]

Alas, we have been ignoring her but she has not fulfilled her end of the bargain and gone away. Far from it. Last week I received a lovely email invitation from TLC asking me if I’d like to attend an open house event in New York City for bloggers and online media to learn more [...]

One wonders how much gall Sarah Palin can muster in the face of yet another Alaska tragedy. In the aftermath of the fatal plane crash in rugged western Alaska that took the lives of former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens and four others earlier this week, Palin described Stevens to her sycophantic Fox News colleague Greta [...]

Time to pop the corn, folks.  Joe McGinniss, author of the epic political best-seller The Selling of the President about Richard Nixon, Going to Extremes about the Alaskan pipeline days, and others has his sights set on Sarah Palin. She will be the subject of his next book, and now she’s also… his neighbor. McGinniss is also [...]

As California-based writer & filmmaker Geoffrey Dunn completes the final touches on his investigative opus The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power, The Mudflats caught up with him for a chat about his forthcoming book. The Mudflats: So are you almost done already? Dunn: I’m getting close. I’m [...]

[This article is cross-posted at The Huffington Post where you can become a fan or follower!] You look at me. I’m normally about as white as they come, but today you notice something else. I seem a little ashen, even for me. Maybe actually a little greenish. “Yes, I am feeling a little unwell,” I [...]

One of our favorite contributors is Mudflatter, award-winning writer and filmmaker Geoffrey Dunn.  His must-read book The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power will be published by St. Martin’s Press. Sarah Palin’s Latest Facebook Lie By Geoffrey Dunn Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin — recently dubbed by Gabriel [...]

I had not planned on writing about Sarah Palin today. Nor had I planned on almost getting into an accident, driving down 36th St. a few moments ago. I was listening to Shannyn Moore on the radio, and she made the announcement. She even warned people to put down any drinks they might be consuming [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Governor Girl Agoniste By Donald Craig Mitchell Last July in Fairbanks, with Todd smiling at her side and Piper sitting in her lap, Sarah Palin watched Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell take the oath to fill out her term in office as Governor of Alaska. Then she vanished. For the past four months the Forty-Ninth State [...]

Page 292 Before the debate a campaign consultant made a comment about her weird vocal inflections. She’s been talkin’ the same way for 44 years and she’s not going to change now. “Besides, I thought of all the money Tina Fey was making imitating me; I didn’t want to screw up her SNL thing by [...]

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 [...]
