This blog post comes with musical accompaniment to enhance your reading pleasure. Yes, it’s true. One of our most favorite villains in the never ending Palin drama is leaving the Great Land. And I have to admit, as much as I’d like to tell him not to let the door hit him on the way [...]

This Joe Miller lawsuit thing may seem to be getting complicated, so here’s a (hopefully) simple breakdown and a “highlight reel” of most of the important things you need to know.  It’s not every little thing, but it’s enough to have a reasonable discussion at the watercooler without people thinking you’ve become an election wonk. [...]

We should all be used to it by now. Alaska politics will turn into something far more complicated than we believed was possible. The Corrupt Bastards Club, the Ted Stevens trial, the Don Young Coconut Road fiasco, some half-term governor run amok in the Lower 48, and now this – the Alaska Senate race of [...]

One of the two Republican attorneys vying for the U.S. Senate seat in Alaska is suing. (Hint: It’s the one with the half-beard, not the one who failed the Bar exam four times) Yes, Joe Miller filed a lawsuit today, just hours before the write-in ballots are due to be counted in Juneau.  What he [...]

So, who do you call to preserve the integrity of the vote that you hope will put you in office on an anti-government platform?  Why, the government, of course, you silly. Pull up a seat, and enjoy the show, folks.  The Republican Party is putting on a three-ring circus and the theme is complete implosion.  Sean Cockerham is [...]

Remember that email that was blasted out to everyone who ever donated to Sarah Palin’s (il)legal defense fund?  The one that decried the “vicious campaign” perpetrated by left-wing activists to destroy her, and was sent at exactly 2:18pm Alaska time?  It talked about all the “hysterical commentaries” from the lamestream media about the ruling that her legal defense fund [...]

Jeanne did a great overview of yesterday’s press conference and the ensuing report from Independent Counsel Tim Petumenos on the illegality of Palin’s Alaska Fund Trust.  Of course, now the hamsters running the Palin spin machine are all running their furry little butts off and some amazing lies are being tossed out there as if [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday, I was alerted to an entry by Sarah Palin’s lawyer,  Thomas Van Flein, on the Palin Mansour Facebook Page (I bolded the information required to make a few salient points): Yesterday we learned that another “ethics” complaint that was filed against Governor Palin was dismissed as baseless. (If you are counting, the Governor is 26-0-1 regarding such complaints or [...]

“Leave his kids alone!” Thus spake the ex-almost-one-term governor of Alaska.  She was talking about newly installed Acting Governor Sean Parnell and his “nice family.”  And the media, obediently heeding her hand-wringing plea has not invaded Alaska, to seek out the innocent children of Governor Parnell, even though he and his wife mention them all [...]

The source of all the RUMORS about strange dealings with the Palin family, the Wasilla Sports Complex and the Palin house in Wasilla that was built by Todd Palin and some contractor “buddies” all sourced back to an article last October that appeared in the Village Voice.  Well now….the Voice speaks.  (I love that)  There reflections [...]

[A similar piece is up on The Huffington Post.  This one is just for Mudflatters] Just when you thought you’d seen the back end of him, he returns;  one of our favorite characters here at the Mudflats.  I refer, of course, to Sarah Palin’s personal attorney, and the man in Alaska with the most dastardly [...]

What a weekend.  Visions of hanging out at barbecues, drinking a glass of wine, lazing in the sun…. all vanished. The second biggest bombshell in recent Alaska political history hit us on Friday afternoon.  Sarah Palin resigned, and plans were cancelled, and Alaska bloggers faithfully but begrudgingly returned to their keyboards, and microphones.  Alaska blogger [...]

$600,000. That’s the growing pile of legal debt that Sarah Palin claims to have incurred since last summer. We don’t actually know that for a fact, nor do we know how these legal bills are itemized, or even for whom, because like so many things in the Palin administration,  (leaning over and whispering in your [...]

(Imagine a hilariously funny graphic that sadly doesn’t exist, of Snidely Whiplash doing a happy dance here) This just in…. Ethics complaint #12 (that we know of) against Sarah Palin which alleged that SarahPAC, the governor’s political action committee was itself a violation of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act was dismissed today. The .pdf [...]
