Thread: Sarah Palin

Sara Palin for Peez in 2112?
I would have thought they had enough of electing halfwits after Bush. But of course you never know. All she has got to do is stand on a ticket of bombing some evil defenceless little country that presents an imminent threat to the security of the United States of America, and shes in like flynn. Worked for Bush second time round. Hysteria is a great motivator and the US political spin doctors have got it down pat.

Here is a collection of Palin interviews:

Scary:

Not nearly as scary as Mad Joe Biden whenever he opens his Gob.
Heh...4 years of Mad Joe's drivel - it's gonna be good

^ Biden thinks he is bambam's daddy -- I must be in the room and the last person you speak to about every decision. Let him keep on; he'll shoot hisself.

The usual red herring.^

Lets change the subject and talk about someone else.

OK Pandy, hows this,
Playboy just offered Sarah Palin $1 million to pose nude in the 2009 February issue.

Michelle Obama got the same offer - from the National Geographic!!!

There, ain't that better

jet seems to be confused (again). clearly she's referring to the bush/cheney relationship...except no one shot 'hisself'....but cheney did shoot someone in the face.

Bambam? Hisself? Using a ; . . .


Yeeeeeha! We is the Vancouver Hillbillies . . . Maw, Paw, me and the young-uns!

Where do you get this snippet of information from? And what does it have to do in a Sarah Palin thread?

The woman is a Republican trainwreck and I really do wonder how intelligent or even semi-intelligent people think she has what it takes to lead the country . . . any country or county even.

Thankyou.

Wonder if they are going to get a few shots of her shooting moose in the nude from a chopper? I suppose they would have to use the airbrush to touch the pics up a bit as that old minge would be a bit out of shape after 6 kids.

Uh...back to Mad Joe who's much more interesting - Leno & Lwtterman are having a field-day with this clown these days!

It's still a Sarah palin thread . . . why not post the youtube links on the Michelle Obama/Bide.Obama threads . . . and comment there.


(I didn't find any 'field-day' clips, please post them . . . in the appropriate thread)

^ Booners is out there in his own little world.
Just humour him PH.

IMO, Palin was a gamble that went bust.

McCain was a good candidate. Palin was a poor choice. I don't know if that's what sunk the true American hero's campaign, but it certainly didn't help. Any Dem (pick one) probably would have won the election -- not for their skill and organization and popularity, rather for the expectation that anything that even remotely resembled a Republican was sour.

She's a better pin-up model than Republican front (wo)man.

John was in the wrong party at the wrong time. Anyway it's history now and so is Palin. She's had more than her share of fame. Amazing this thread continues!

mccain would have been beaten even worse if he hadn't picked palin......anyway, he had his chance in 2000 and you can thank bush/rove for torpedoing his campaign.....in 2008 he was a shell of his former self both literally (a 72 year old man who seemed lost and confused at times) and figuratively (sucking up to fundamentalist christians).

Yeah, but she needs to do something about her hair.
Looks like a rats nest...

Trivial news about Palins family and obstruction of justice,……..

Todd Palin held in contempt of Alaska state Senate
Mike Sheehan
Published: Friday February 6, 2009

The husband of 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin has been found guilty of contempt by the Alaskan Senate.

Last summer, Todd Palin and others had refused to comply with subpoenas issued by Alaska lawmakers seeking testimony in the "Troopergate" investigation launched in July, triggered by the allegedly forced resignation of a state official.

The official, Walt Monegan, had been reluctant to fire an Alaska state trooper who was Gov. Palin's brother-in-law, embroiled in a bitter custody battle with Palin's sister.

According to the Anchorage Daily News issue of 8 October 2008, Todd Palin "talked with over a dozen state officials, many of them repeatedly, in his crusade to get a state trooper fired whom he considered to be a bad cop, a dishonest person and a threat to the Palin family," per a sworn statement given to a legislative investigator.

At the time the investigation began, Gov. Palin "welcomed the chance to clear the air and had directed her staff to cooperate with the investigations," writes blogger Shannyn Moore. But "everything chnaged" when just weeks later, GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain chose Palin as his running mate.

Despite Todd Palin's later refusal to comply with the subpoena, he was not subject to contempt charges until the full Alaska Senate reconvened in January 2009--weeks after Election Day.

This morning, the Alaska Senate resolution holding Palin et al. in contempt passed 16 to 1, per Moore's blog. The resolution "did not address the actions of [Palin appointee] Attorney General Talis Colberg," instead calling for "no penalties to the [seven] witnesses because they were being guided by the Attorney General" and did cooperate with lead "Troopergate" investigator Stephen Branchflower after Colberg's challenge to the subpoenas was thrown out of court.

With the election over and losing candidate Palin largely out of the spotlight she dominated during the runup to November, the attention to "Troopergate" has similarly dissipated, as evidenced by today's proceedings in the Alaska Senate. "There was very little discussion on the floor," Moore writes.

Gov. Palin probably prefers it that way, as she is often mentioned as a leading candidate for the GOP nomination in 2012.

More trailer-trash news,…………….

Continuing with her stalker-like obsession with the Palin family, Greta Van Susteren wings her way to Alaska to interview high school dropout & teenaged babymama Bristol Palin But Not Johnston:


Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, told Fox News in her first interview since giving birth that she would like to be an advocate against teen pregnancy.


"Everyone should wait 10 years," Palin said. "I hope people learn from my story."


"It's so much easier if you're married, have a house and career. It's not a situation you want to strive for."
[...]


Bristol Palin described to Fox's Greta Van Susteren the moment when she, her boyfriend, Levi Johnston, and another friend told her parents that she was pregnant. She described that moment as "harder than labor."


But this was not the only surprise Bristol Palin said she had for her mother, Alaska's youngest governor. She told Van Susteren she had only told her mother she was doing this national television interview - in which Van Susteren and crew flew to Alaska - one day prior to the taping.


Wait! A camera crew? Guess what happens? Go on, guess.


Nevertheless, Governor Palin appeared at the interview, with baby Tripp in tow.


Sarah Palin jumping in front of cameras while hauling a baby around like a prop? Nobody could have seen that coming...


As for that "Bristol and Levi were already planning to get married" Republican convention storyline? Eh. Maybe later:


Bristol Palin said she is getting help from many members of her family with raising the infant while continuing her studies. She told Van Susteren she has no immediate plans to marry Levi Johnson, who she described as a 'hands on Dad."


Last year, there were reports that the couple would marry in the coming year.


"Eventually we'd like to get married," the young mother said. "We're focusing on getting through school though, getting a career going."


If I had to bet on what will happen first: the Palin/Johnston wedding or President Sarah Palin, I would put my money on something with slightly better odds. Maybe Jonah Goldberg's Olympic gold medal in pole vaulting.


Totally gonna happen...

I am no fan of hers, but I dont think her daughters pregnancy should have been any kind of an issue.

Nor her physical attractiveness. Geez, if attractiveness, were a requirement for political office, most of the males in politics wouldn't get a look in.

^I did not want to bring any of Palins children into any type of discussion. Her children are not running for office,.it is their mother. However since the Republicans thrust Palin and her family upon us as some outstanding family to be admired (Christians doing the right thing) with their family values/beliefs, I find it a bit disturbing that Palins family does the things they do.
The story it’s so much about Palins child as it is about how the Republicans/Palin said that Bristol was going to marry the father of their baby. It was all show,.to try to get elected into office. Lies!

It is a bit hypocritical of the Republicans and some of their followers to hold this woman up as their future (the party of family values?).

I will continue to post these news snippets of Palin and her family in hopes that it might reach ONE person who is on an edge about voting for Palin ever again, for any public office she tries to take (as Governor of Alaska again in two years or to run for a senate seat in two years).

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) owes income taxes on nearly $17,000 paid to her as travel reimbursements when she spent nights in her Wasilla residence, according to a state legal opinion that the payments were not legitimate business expenses, a state official said yesterday.

During her first 19 months in office, Palin charged the state $16,951 in "per diem" allowances for spending 312 nights in her home. The allowances were intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while she was traveling on state business.
The state this week reversed a policy that had treated the payments as legitimate business expenses under the Internal Revenue Code, said state administrator Annette Kreitzer. Payments to employees charging "per diem" expenses to stay in their own homes will be treated as income subject to taxes, Kreitzer said, and the state will update the employees' W-2 forms.

Palin's expenses were reported by The Washington Post last year after the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), named Palin as his running mate. The Post reviewed records from late 2006 through early August 2008, and the story prompted a review by state officials. The governor continued to seek the payments through the end of the year, according to the Anchorage Daily News, which first reported this week that she owed taxes on the payments.

^ when i've got some time i'll go back and dig up the posts by the usual suspects claiming that it wasn't taxable. .....btw, i'd be willing to wager that palin doesn't serve another term as governor. she'll either be beaten or won't run at all because she'll know she can't win.

good times.

anyway, let's get back to palin and how she tried to milk the system...this time by flying her kids on the taxpayers dime...

JUNEAU, Alaska - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will reimburse the state nearly $7,000 for costs associated with nine trips taken by her children, her attorney said Tuesday.

Palin must reimburse the state within 120 days, according to a settlement agreement filed by a special investigator hired by the Alaska Personnel Board to investigate an ethics complaint filed against her.
