Just in case you think I am in the minority up here when it comes to being disgusted with Klondike Kardashian's attempt to lie about her accomplishments, this was what Craig Medred wrote at Alaska Dispatch about Palin's sudden distaste for "cronyism."
Palin claims:
"I've been fighting this type of corruption and cronyism my entire political career. For years Alaskans suspected that our lawmakers and state administrators were in the pockets of the big oil companies to the detriment of ordinary Alaskans. We knew we were being taken for a ride, but it took FBI wiretaps to finally capture lawmakers in the act of selling their votes. In the wake of politicos being carted off to prison, my administration enacted reforms based on transparency and accountability to prevent this from happening again."
These claims are largely and simply a lie.
Palin didn't spend her political career fighting corruption. And the Palin administration was all about cronyism. The big oil companies in Alaska did, and to some extent still do, carry undue influence with Alaska politicians. But it's nothing compared to the influence of commercial fishing interests in the fishing industry off the coast of the 49th state. The fishing interests have the kind of influence the oil companies can only dream about.
Did Palin ever try to do anything to fix this? Anything?
Well, of course, not. Her hubby is in the fishing business. Protecting his interests was more important than protecting the public's interest.
It's cronyism at the fundamental level.
Once again it is this insight that Alaskans have about who Sarah Palin REALLY is, that probably explains WHY she won't be attending the premiere of her propaganda film.
We KNOW she is a fake and a fraud, and I absolutely hope that somebody attends that premiere and tells Stephen Bannon that his film is full of shit, and that his subject may be one of the most deeply flawed and unqualified politicians we have seen in our lifetime.
And for those of us up here in Alaska, THAT is really saying something!

Wow. Totally o/t but I just took a good look at this picture and it hit me like a ton of bricks! Look at the mouths...both have droopy right sides. I think Trig is Palin's kid but she had a surrogate carry him. His existence was orchestrated with a total political purpose. Has this theory ever been discussed?
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin (tm) is Newt Gingrich(tm) in Naughty Monkeys.
ReplyDeleteHowbout the Gingrich-Palin ticket? Fleecing the masses would never work better. He has the high end, she the low.
Did she actually think there would be no blowback from signing her name to Schwiezer's words??? She is so used to flinging her bilious crap at the President and all things liberal that she forgot she was now dumping in her own nest. She may have made someone in the know angry enough to support Shailey's APD case in retaliation.
ReplyDeleteAwkward.
Methinks she better send an advance team to AZ to sweep the scorpions and rattlesnakes out of her desert den as she may need to seek refuge there soon.

ReplyDeletePalin received the droopy mouth with her plastic surgery. She doesn't have it in pre-surgery pictures. The lop-sided mouth is a common plastic surgery side-effect. Notice Greta VanSusteren's mouth? Same thing. She didn't have it before surgery. Sucks to be them.
That's why the bitoch ain't running for POTUS because she knows she'll come under scrutiny and her lies will be under the microscope.

ReplyDeleteIt's hypocritical for you all to only call her out on it and to say she's specifically the most corrupt or most hypocritical, when in actuality, she's very small potatoes.
Does anyone else wish we could elect Clinton again? Well, if he promises to leave his communistic wife home. Clinton did a lot of good, and a lot of his decisions didn't win liberal friends which is always good for the country.
Damnit, I just wish more people weren't so freaking blind to Obama's fraudulent past. He damn backers are pros at coverups. I wish I knew how to hack email.

"I've been fighting this type of corruption and cronyism my entire political career.
ReplyDeleteWTF?
Grifting, corruption, nepotism and cronyism is Sarah Palin’s middle name.
Did Sarah forget about getting Track’s wife a job working for the governor?
What about hiring her BFF from high school to head the Agriculture Dept and her only qualification was she liked cows as a kid?
“So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages. “
Once Elected, Palin Hired Friends and Lashed Foes

Craig Menard is a worthless writer...he is demeaning, hateful, jealous, & sounds like a spoiled 16 yr old book that would never get the "pretty" girl to go out with him.... his inner frustations are showing when he speaks of harsh of Sarah Palin. I used the word speaks because he is not reporting anything only giving his worthless, meaningless opinion, which is an opinion that very very very few care to read.
Maybe it is time that Alaska Dispatch tell Craig Menard good bye and don't let the door hit him when he leaves. I for one will not miss reading his small worthless pieces of crap opinions.

Well Sarah, it's too late for you to control Willow. That cow has been out on the pasture doing the nasty and you can't get that hefer back into the barn.
So Track, Bristol and Willow are carrying the family tradition started by Sally Heath.
I guess that leaves Piper in the barn and maybe you can be a mother to her and close the barn door before she becomes of age (12 years old) and decides to follow the path of her siblings, mother and grandmother.
What a terrible mother.
Bristol has her kids and her God child (LOL).
So what does Willow have, another God child too? LOL
Sarah you really need to spade and neuter all your kids, they are out of control!

@4:45
ReplyDeleteold news - Willow had a pregnancy scare last year. It was claimed that the test was negative at the time. However, people claim that she delivered a baby this summer and Track and Britta have it.
Or that could be the infant Bristol had in LA and that's why Willow was with her instead of in school.
Shawn Christy was told that Willow was huge this past spring because of her anti-psychotic drugs. He believed she was pregnant.
"Willow Pregnancy" is a rather old story, folks. Look at the date.

the latest Trig - the tiny one with black hair and native look, featured with Tripp in a buddy photo does not have the turned down mouth.
There is a scathing Palin piece about this topic on Daily Kos. It is a must read.
ReplyDeleteKathleen Parker's calling it like it is:

OK, it is a year old, I just saw November 18. Funny thing is that it doesn't matter. Willow could be pregnant again, who is Bristle's godson? Why isn't Willow in school in AK instead of wheeling around babies in LA?
ReplyDeleteThis whole family is such a joke. Where is Todd? How come Shalley can't get her stuff back? Do people obey judges orders in AK? What happened to MeAgain? Silenced?
What people should do is occupy the movie establishment outside. Have signs printed. You know "Who's baby is Trigg"? "How much money did you make from the fishing lobby?" "Palin full of Shit" etc, etc, etc.
ReplyDeleteYes, Anon 3:31, the surrogate-IVF theory has been discussed often, here, and on other blogs.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, there was a political purpose behind it all that goes well beyond Palin and her sad surrogates.
@4:25 Sorry, but you have it wrong about Obama and the Chicago Machine. Obama ran against seven other people in the Democratic primary for the US Senate. Mayor Daley did not endorse him; he backed a party favorite-- not Obama. Obama won, much to the surprise of everyone. He was slated to run against the handsome, charming Jack Ryan who was divorced from the actress, Jeri Ryan.
ReplyDeleteI was at a fund raiser for Obama when he was the Democratic party's candidate for Senate. He still did not have Daley's backing. He was on his own. He told the house full of donors that Ryan had hired the same campaign guy who demolished Max Cleland. Then, an amazing thing happened. Jeri Ryan unsealed their divorce papers, exposing her former husband's nasty antics, trying to get her to perform sex acts in public. Soon after, Jack Ryan disappeared. The Republicans found Alan Keyes to run against Obama. Then, when Obama looked like a winner, then Daley endorsed him. If you need to read facts about the story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois,_2004#Democratic_primary
When Obama ran in the presidential primary against Hillary, once again the powerful Mayor Daley withheld his endorsement and backing. Hillary comes from Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago. Daley wasn't going to choose sides until the primaries were over.
Please be careful when you claim that Obama was part of the Chicago Machine. On the other hand, I doubt that you can read anything this long. I can tell by your writing style (he damn backers) that you have a limited attention span. But, as a proud citizen of Chicago, I kindly request that you dial back on that claim of thuggery. Alaska's Ted Stevens out-thugs anyone in Chicago. So does Newt, Tom DeLay, Duke Cunningham, for example. If you want the best examples of real thugs, I give you Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.
i wish you alaskans who go to the movie would mic check it.

Sarah Palin wonders how politicians get so rich
ReplyDelete...Oh, but making tons of money while pretending to run for public office over the last two years doesn't count. No, transparency warrior Sarah Palin has her fuming pen set on those darn politicians who use their offices for political gain. Kind of like this:
[A] Los Angeles Times examination of state records shows, her approach to government was business as usual. Take, for example, the tradition of patronage. Some of Palin's most controversial appointments involved donors, records show. Among The Times' findings:
More than 100 appointments to state posts -- nearly 1 in 4 -- went to campaign contributors or their relatives, sometimes without apparent regard to qualifications.
Palin filled 16 state offices with appointees from families that donated $2,000 to $5,600 and were among her top political patrons.
Several of Palin's leading campaign donors received state-subsidized industrial development loans of up to $3.6 million for business ventures of questionable public value.
But her history of using her own office and political experience for personal gain doesn't stop Palin from continuing her righteous indignation:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/11/18/1037690/-Sarah-Palin-wonders-how-politicians-get-sorich?via=blog_1
Does "homeschooling" result in the use of "words" like "communistic" and "dotter"?

Is that some kind of hooked on phonics thing or something?

As a former Gov...err..public official, you should know anyone can file a freedom of information request. I know that would required readin and writin skills that neither you nor your kids have. Perhaps you should ring up RAM. Whoops....what?....she's too busy writing a book? Oh shit...
Maybe if you'd quit being so bitter about losing to a black man life would be just a little more easy to deal with. But we understand the confusion. Those late night carnal thoughts overcomming that hatred. I've heard running helps to clear the mind.
