I like how Hannity has one big question for Palin, a set up for her to get a little payback about Death Panels, and she didn't bother to read the article he is talking about, saying that she didn't "waste her time on it." So Hannity is left to change the subject to the Republican's numerous failed attempts to stop Obamacare just to keep the interview going.
Of course Palin is all for the Republicans pointless attacks, because she is all about going for the jugular these days.
Personally I think this phone in answer approach for Palin interviews is a good idea.
After all this way they can avoid showing how badly her looks have faded in the last five yeas and instead show her older, more youthful photos. Perhaps after awhile people will start to believe she still looks like that and she can lure back some of the horny old men who have gotten tired of hearing her caterwauling.
Update: Oooh the SarahPAC numbers are out and it does not look good for Granny Grifter!
This from USA Today:
Sarah Palin's leadership PAC spent nearly $500,000 during the first six months of the year, and made just one donation to a political candidate, new campaign filings show.
Much of Sarah PAC's money went to operating expenses, including more than $217,000 paid to consultants and more than $124,000 on postage and mailings. More than $48,000 covered airfare and other travel expenses.
The political action committee made a single campaign contribution during the first six months of the 2013 — a slow period in the political calendar. It donated $5,000 to Republican Jason Smith, who won a special election in Missouri to fill former representative Jo Ann Emerson's House seat.
"The PAC has the resources ready to contribute to whomever the governor decides to support and endorse during the 2014 election cycle," its treasurer Tim Crawford said in an e-mail Wednesday.
Yeah right Timmy!
As Todd would say "What's in it for Sarah?" After learning THAT, then the PAC just might be willing to make a donation, but ONLY after that.
So now the PAC is taking in LESS than it is paying out? Hmm, it looks like the beginning of the end for little Miss Nasty Britches.
Update 2: Here is actual FEC filing.
As you can see Palin only brought in $460,537. but spent $496,505. There is still just under $1, 500.000 on hand, but with new donations dropping off so precipitously how much longer can that really last?
Sarah's donation stream is way down from previous years and most of it was spent on consultants, travel and other expenses. Looks like the Social Security checks don't pay enough for her "base" to support her in the manner to which she has become accustomed. Looks real good on her.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Marilyn Lane is still getting her payoff for the Wooten testimony ...uh.... pay for clerical services.Hmmm... What's the average wage for clerical service sin AK, Gryphen? $2500 for part time sounds really high (IIRC from the filing.) That's $30 grand for a part time gig - nice.....
DeleteGryphen -- Will you soon be bringing us the details of $creech's PAC filings to the FEC?
ReplyDeleteUSA Today has an article on how most of the $$ went to speech writers (!?) and yes .... POSTAGE! Bwahahahahaha ...............
Can't wait for your dissection!!!
What is with ANYONE spending that sort of money on postage - nobody does - donations are online - contact info is email - what is hidden in the postage - if the GOP kills the post office as it has tried to do for years - then we may find out
DeleteSorry to go OT, but I just saw, over at the p-pond, a pic of PIG that looks TOTALLY different from the "11 year old" jumping at the falls in AZ last week. Maybe mama bought an inflatable pair for her little PIG so she can be just like mom!
ReplyDeleteI think she is 12. Last Easter Bristol has a picture with PIG. I don't know what was in her blouse but they were ample for 12. She does like to play dress up. Remember the high heels with a news guy? She has any picture of her dressed to look like a mini-Sarah, also, too.
DeleteAre you guys really calling a little girl a pig?
DeleteI've gotta say I agree. I know those are her initials, but calling a 12-year-old "PIG" is unnecessary. (coming from a mom and regular reader here)
DeleteAnon @4:04 - it comes from her initials.
DeleteI'm not defending it though.
Piper Indy Grace
No. Those are her initials. Sarah did that. It is better than when Sarah calls her Diaper Piper. Use capital letters, it is not the animal. Small letters are the for the animal. PIG is her moniker.
DeletePiper Indy Grace. Do you think her mother didn't know this would happen? Or is she that incredibly stupid?
DeleteGarColga-
DeleteSadly, those are her real initials:
Piper Indy Grace Palin
4:36 -- Incredibly stupid is the answer.
DeletePeople with petty minds see what they see.
DeleteIT IS HER INITIALS. HER PARENTS NAMED HER. If you see it another way that is a reflection on you.
Oh come on! Do you people call the other Palins by their initials or anyone for that matter? It's stupid, childish, and cruel. She's just 12. It's not her fault one of her parents is mentally ill and the other is a pimp. Those of you who keep referring to her as PIG are a bunch of bullies.
DeleteGryphen,
DeleteI'm rather shocked that you don't do something about this bullying of a 12 year old. Leaving these "pig" comments on your blog is the same as condoning it. It's getting out of hand.
Prime example of the bullying I mentioned the other day.
DeleteWe IM readers are better than the Palins, aren't we? A nicer, kinder bunch? Don't sink to their level.
(Liz, feel free to jump all over me again - it's okay, I can take it.)
"IT IS HER INITIALS. HER PARENTS NAMED HER. If you see it another way that is a reflection on you."
DeleteYes, and if seeing the cruel initials her parents gave her, you take glee in using them, you are no better than the Palins.
Damn straight! Thank you, Nefer. Apparantly, Gryphen the great child advocate sees nothing wrong with doing this to Piper because she is a Palin.
DeletePerusing the FEC filing, we can see that:
ReplyDelete~~ the majority of her donors are men. (No surprise.)
~~ a great many of them are retirees. (Again, to be expected.)
~~ many are "self-employed," but doing what is sometimes hard to discern. One helpful individual states that he's a "blogger."
~~ There are a couple of people on disability, one who's unemployed (no reason given), and one who proudly states that he's a Wal-Mart greeter.
No way to know if these people, mostly giving small donations, will be deterred by the "postage," "travel agent" and other such expenses, or will notice the many typos in the filing.
At least this time, the bookkeeper got the cash-on-hand figure correct in both columns where it belonged. That was not the case with the last filing.
But how many people will continue to give their money to a non-candidate, in a non-election year, who has $1.1 million in the bank? It'll be interesting how she can continue to stir the pot to keep these self-employed, unemployed, retired male donors sending checks. (There are three refunds to individuals who gave money in 2012 and, evidently, asked for it back!)
Clearly, for all her Facebook "friends," only a tiny percentage of them actually put their money where their "likes" are.
No way to know if these people, mostly giving small donations, will be deterred by the "postage," "travel agent" ......
DeleteThey may not see or hear so well and just go with the flow. Not rilly into detail.
The "postage" probably won't faze the older, less computer savvy donors, who probably don't realize how much can be accomplished electronically.
DeleteIn 2008, I received postal mailings from McCain's campaign designed to look exactly like urgent telegrams! from Western Union! Yellow paper and all, and STOP at the end of every sentence instead of periods. Very snazzy, if it had been 1908.
While the Obama campaign was, of course, communicating by email, twitter, and facebook.
Sarah's hardcore supporters won't care that she defrauds them by contributing 1% of her donations to political campaigns, and spends the rest on speechwriters, ghostwriters and Internet "postage". I though Facebook and Twitter were free, but apparently the PeeBots have to pay admission to Sarah's Facebook. Stupid People. Sarah is like an expensive bumper sticker. And just about as worthless. It's amazing that she's gotten away with this ruse for 4+ years now. The longer it goes, the less likely Sarah going to have the cash on hand to pay the fines to the IRS and FEC. Time for the perp walk. I'll watch Fox News the day Sarah is put in handcuffs. I can't wait to see her in Orange with a pair of bracelets that attach to a chain around her waist.
DeleteDo the morons who donate to her not know that she is a fraud? That only a teeny percentage goes to candidates? That she uses their money to pay to fly herself anywhere and everywhere, and for 'postage?" I don't know about you, but I have never seen one piece of mail from Sarah Palin. How much of that $217,000 went to Crawford? I just read somewhere that her PAC spent a bunch of money researching a woman in Florida who represents 'famous politicians.' Maybe Sarah is not satisfied with the offerings of the WA Speakers' Bureau any more. I mean, she had to rustle up the farm gig herself, after all.
ReplyDeleteShe is also a myth-maker, those people are into the myths.
DeleteThe IRS should investigate these "postage" expenses, plus just WHO the "consultants" are, and why she needs them since she is not actively involved in politics. We should all make enquiries about opening our own Pacs, I would love to travel on someone else's money, wouldn't you?
DeleteWho set up and promoted this system? It looks like it was made to order for crooks like Sarah to get by with these games. Too bad this won't wake folks up to the whole PAC deal. It almost seems they were designed so an idiot con could easily snake money and vacation off this pretense of being political. Running for office, hahahahaha.... supporting other candidates hahhahahahahahaha.. SUCKERS.....
DeleteI hope the Bitch takes these fools for every penny that they have. They deserve to be hood winked, for being so damn STUPID. Keep on Pimping them Todd.
DeleteSee SCOTUS, Citizens United. Alito and Roberts.
DeleteThe crazies that donate to her would probably prefer she spend the money on herself instead of other candidates. Then they can pretend they're her "dates" and whatnot.
DeleteStamps can be resold, I wonder if the Palin clan owns a Mailboxes Etc. or something like that? That's on way to launder PAC money for personal use.
DeleteWhy Sarah Palin Crawled Back to Fox News
ReplyDeletehttp://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=10275
This is from the National Journal:
Delete"The way Sarah PAC is spending its money may be a bit more concerning. According to the FEC filing, the PAC spent just $5,000 in contributions to political candidates. That money went to Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., who won a special election this June. The rest? It went to expenses and consultant fees. That includes $7,500 apiece to Grey Strategies and NorthStar Strategies, and $15,640 to Advanced Response Systems. Oh, and at least $11,5000 a month went to just one consultant.
That consultant is Timothy Crawford, a chief Palin adviser who received more than $321,000 during the last election cycle alone. Crawford has been described as a treasurer of the PAC, in addition to being a PAC spokesman. During that same cycle, of the $5.1 million the PAC spent, more than $4.8 million went to consultants, according to a Daily Beast analysis."
This should be Timothy Crawford's last consulting job. He is a dismal failure. Fits for Sarah/Bristol shows but no one else will want him.
DeleteSounds to me like the PAC money, is being laundered through this Tim Crawford fella.
Delete"Consultants" = payola.
DeleteI guess Hannity drew the short straw in this morning's production meeting.
ReplyDeleteThrough the whole interview he looks like he's passing a kidney stone. I know Greta has had a lot of bad work done but in her last interview with Mrs. Todd Palin she looked like one of those giant statue heads on Easter Island. Pretty soon the interviewers are going to be doing it by phone so viewers can't see how pained they look.
DeleteA Fan From Chicago
Isn't the reason she has 1.5 mil because some guy from England put 2 million in her PAC last year? I'm thinking it was a gift from one of Rupert's shells.
ReplyDelete$150,000 in postage translates to 375,000 pieces or mail...using the regular price for stamps and assuming they're not doing bulk mailers.
ReplyDelete375,000 pieces of mail!!!!
Where are these mailings?
I would love to see some bloggers get together and post a $$$ reward for a picture of any of these so-called mailings. Because I bet they don't exist!
I wish the IRS would make the same inverstigation!!!!
The money has got to come from somewhere for Briskets extra babies keepers to survive on.
DeleteI'm going to donate $5 and see if I get on her mailing list.
DeletePostal worker here; bulk mailings for solicitations can run as low as 8 cents a piece; avg cost is about 13 cents per piece. So she spent a LOT more than $375,000 (46 cents each) on "postage". !!
DeleteOT - Maybe. What happened to the Shailey Tripp interview? Mine disappeared right after I read it and it only came up in a scramble as it loaded. Is there something we do not know?
ReplyDeleteWHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
ReplyDeleteIN FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2013:
SARAHPAC TOOK IN OVER $460, 000
SARAHPAC SPENT $496,505
SARAHPAC ONLY GAVE $5, 000 TO ONE POLITICAL CANDIDATE
So, assuming that the "postage" and "consulting" money don't somehow waft their way back to a Palin-controlled account somewhere, the Palins are living high on the hog either by:
ReplyDeleteliving on the investment income from wise investments made with her book royalties, FOX contract $, and early speaking fees;
Or: they're living off their capital, which will dwindle rapidly with two houses, child care, drugs, etc. expenses.
Give it a couple of years and Sarah will be back on the fishing boat, and Todd will be trolling for employees.

ReplyDeleteVIVA SARAH !
She's probably calling her interviews in because she's had "work" done on her face in a desperate attempt to continue to apeal to her elderly crotchety white male base....
ReplyDeleteThere's no doubt she was having a tantrum before the interview and someone pulled the plug. They really don't know what they're dealing with. Hannity will soon find out how unreasonable and childish her obsessive fans are when they jam his site.
ReplyDeleteHer mask is coming off and her last knight in shining armor, Sean, isn't going to like being attacked by her minions.
I find it hard to believe they have not been aware she has severe mental problems and substance abuse for a long time now. They have reasons to keep her around, not necessarily their choice. They have to know she is full on crazy and looks like going over the edge soon.
DeleteLet's try to give more to SarahPAc now.
ReplyDeleteThe country needs her more than ever
Is that in Pennsylvania?
DeleteI love my country without Sarah PAlin...
DeleteWhat I can't understand is how her treasurer (Crawford) of SarahPAC, hasn't warned her about the high percentage of postage and consultant fees, and the suspicion it might draw from the FEC. Are these people never concerned or worried about the implications it might draw from faithful donors?
ReplyDeleteAnd what about those big donors - who withdrew their donations and wanted refunds? Are these people having second thoughts?
"Are these people never concerned or worried about the implications it might draw from faithful donors?"
DeleteAdd "but dimwitted" to faithful and that is why they are not concerned.
They can pray about it and their Dog will answer all prayers.
DeleteI wonder how honest they are with one another. Crawford may have a bone to pick with Sera and he is not as happy as his face can look. Who knows? There must be some contentions. Crawford may be passive aggressive or just a fool in a fantasy.
Sarah Palin is every bit as smart as she is attractive.
ReplyDelete(not a compliment)
Donations given out divided by Money raised in first 6 months of 2013 equals somebody is not a conservative
ReplyDelete$5,000/$500,000= 0.01
So 1% of what SarahPac took in went to political candidates.
Not bad for a scam.
Why would Sarah Palin want to be a senator when she can make more with SarahPac?
DeleteTo @3:16 - because she believes in having a "title." Remember, her IQ is only 83.
DeleteSarahVac is her vacation slush fund. she has no intention of being a Senator or anything where she would have to play the part of a working person. SARAHVAC IT IS!
DeleteMore than $48,000 covered airfare and other travel expenses.
ReplyDeleteWhere did Sarah Palin go to in the first six months of 2013?
A horsey race!
DeleteShe must have wanted to be seen taking the red eye to Phoenix when she had the delay. Look how thrifty she is, send her money.
DeleteThat's a good question.
DeleteWasn't she drunk and Todd had to hold her up at some Las Vegas marketing show? She can't be alone much so she travels for 2 or more.
DeleteRemember, the I-spy person who snapped that picture of Palin wrangling with the flight check-in person said Palin flew first class? Only the best for SarahPAC donors' Great White Hope.
DeleteHow much does Tim get paid?
ReplyDeleteOver the table or under the table?
Delete$138,000 per year ($11,500 per month)
DeleteFor his shell game?
DeleteThe huffpo comments are a hoot. Many pages and I have yet to see one defending the idiot.
ReplyDeleteNefer, if you are who I think you are on HP, you are doing your part :). Great stuff! I also try to contribute.
DeleteI'd like to share with my fellow IMers a fantasy I found myself drifting off into while listening to the terrible voice connection Sarah was using with Hannity, not to mention the mind-numbing stupidity of what she was actually saying.
ReplyDeleteI found myself imagining Sarah aboard the first mission to Mars, getting further and further away from Earth. So far away, in fact, that it would take like ten minutes between Sean asking her a question and Sarah’s answer coming back and breaking up over the radio.
Remember back in 1999 when Lockheed Martin screwed up the Mars Climate Orbiter mission by doing the calculations in English units instead of meters? So, I was thinking what if that were to happen again and I started picturing Sarah’s spaceship completely missing Mars and heading off into the unknown reaches of our galaxy, her screeching growing increasingly faint…until there was nothing…left….to….. hear……but….…static. Yes, just blessed static echoing amongst the great orbs hurtling silently through the vast emptiness of space. It was an absolutely marvelous picture.
Yes, but what a way to attract furious payback from alien races currently living in a quiet, Palin-free environment!
DeleteWhat a lovely dream.
Delete99% to Sarah and company. 1% to one candidate. And her cultists won't even bat an eye. In fact, they will continue to sent SarahPAC a portion of their SS checks. What a group of cretinous dunderheads.
ReplyDeleteThe crashing PAC is the reason she went crawling back to Fox. She lost her spotlight and on;y her worshipers uttered her name.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the terms of her contract is. Per "performance?" or on a retainer fee?
DeleteTo bad she doesn't have something on them like Judith Regan. She got a 10 or more million dollar pay off not to write her book. (and expose how Fox really operates = plus)
DeleteIs there some way to know who the "consultants" are?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't they have to be named?
Brillow? Wiper? Pistol? Trip-the-trigger? TrackPac?
I'm sure they have all been paid handsomely for their invaluable advice.
Sarah,shut the fuck up.You make absolutely no sense!
ReplyDeleteHow in the heck can she spend $124,000+ in postage and mailing in SIX months? That makes no sense whatsoever. And who are the "consultants?"
ReplyDeleteI've always suspected (well duh) that this PAC money is being used for perks, bribes, and money laundering.
What on Earth is she mailing? Weed?
DeleteTravel is $148 and postage $124?
DeleteWhat a snap for the FEC and IRS to audit this, since I am guessing that: there will be no receipts form the Post Office, the PAC probably can't even produce a list of donors consisting of more than a few hundred people, and the IRS could verify as to all of those people whether they received mailings and, if so, what type of postage was used, etc. Why hasn't anyone reported or recommended this to the FEC as a suggested audit?
Deleteoh Hannity, are you a slow learner? She is not your friend. She is only using you. Get away before your career is completely destroyed. I think that one of the reasons that her pac is running low is because ammo has gone up in price. Ammo or Palin? You choose. Also, rent is due, workmen's comp is over, medication is expensive, rascal needs a new wheel, unemployment is up, no jobs, and cigarettes cost over 5 bucks a pack.
ReplyDeleteIt's mind boggling that Palin couldn't afford a white board for $3 dollars at Wal-Mart.
ReplyDeleteOr a speech and life coach .
Palin's nemesis Karl Rove , donated 300 million to various Republican candidates in 2012 from his PACS .
In 2012 SarahPAC donated ..wait for it..$ 65,000 to Republican candidates.
At the rate she's burning through other people's money ,
Palin will be lucky if she has 65 cents left
to donate to candidates.
Unlike Palin, Rove does not take a penny from his two PACS.
Unlike Palin, Rove also pays his own way.
Unlike Palin, Rove doesn't waste money on " consultants" .
" Rove’s selling point for American Crossroads is precisely that it does not waste money
on consultant commissions.."
The Washington Post Fact Checker investigated :
“Mr. Rove receives no financial benefit either directly or indirectly from American Crossroads, Crossroads GPS or any of its vendors or subvendors,” said spokesman Jonathan Collegio.
“He also pays his travel expenses out of his own pocket.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/did-karl-rove-earn-any-money-from-american-crossroads/2012/12/11/a093617c-43cb-11e2-8061-253bccfc7532_blog.html
The Queen of the Tea Party / Freedom Party is a gnat when it comes to raising and donating money to candidates.
Rove is the Big Kahuna.
No wonder she is always so enraged at him .
Ah, but who does pay Karl Rove? He doesn't do anything for free; no Republican does anything for free and I do not think that he is independently wealthy either.
DeleteAl Capone was taken down by the IRS for tax evasion, as were several other organized crime bosses. They were a lot smarter than Palin and had the best high-priced lawyers on retainer.
ReplyDeleteWith these reports, she is just begging for some government agency (FEC?) to scrutinize her financial dealings.
She may have gotten away with numerous ethics violations, a faked pregnancy, and grifting untold amounts of cash from low-information voters and right wing organizations, but the IRS and FEC aren't nearly as gullible or forgiving.
Her time will come.
A couple of things I noticed in the PAC expenditures:
ReplyDelete1. Looks like RAM took a pay cut...only 6K per month now? Also, what's with the replaced check of 8K?
2. Interesting to note all the payments to First BankCard credit card...another good way to hide personal expenditures? for example 10789.62 payment for airfare, conference calls an ground transportation (especially when she has other airfare separately itemized)?
Inquiring minds want to know...
+1,000
DeleteAlso, I noticed the First BankCard payments started 3/15/2013...is that any relation to the date her obscene expenditure on postage for last year was noticed (i.e. when last year's FEC filing was released)?
DeleteMaybe she got scared when a lot of people noticed the postage charges and she shifted to another way to fund her lifestyle
How much does Sarah Palin make from SarahPac and what's her consultant's name?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Todd is considered a SarahPac consultant when he travels with her highness. Same with Piper.
What's their consultant names and annual fees?
"More than $48,000 covered airfare and other travel expenses." (for 6 months)
ReplyDelete$48, 000 ÷ 6 months = $8, 000 a month for travel
$8, 000 ÷ 30 days = $267 a day for travel
$267 a DAY for travel expenses for 6 months. That's if Sarah Palin travels everyday for 6 months straight.
Private jet rental adds up quickly...
DeleteShe doesn't have to itemize what travel and for whom?
DeleteI noticed that in the interview that Sarah stated,
ReplyDelete"The faceless bureaucratic panel that will decide based on a human being’s level of productivity some subjective and political decision being made as to whether they deserve medical care or not. And yes the little girl is a prime example of a bureaucrat being able to make that decision, which is a scary thing."
Yet Republicans have no problem with bureaucrats making medical decisions for thousands of women when they are pregnant. No problem ordering mandatory ultrasounds, no problem with no abortions after 20 weeks, even if the mother's life is in danger, even if the fetus is dead or will not survive. No problem making 'medical' decisions for young people by doing away with sex education, with condoms and birth control, or the morning after pill. No, those politically motivated medical decisions by faceless bureaucrats are not scary at all to Republicans.
What a bunch of hypocrites.
Cathleen
WTF? And Sarah Palin considers herself a conservative.
ReplyDelete"In the first six months of 2013, Sarah PAC spent $496,505.68. That's $35,967.85 more than the PAC was able to raise."
National Journal
No way Sarah Hasbeen is giving up her SarahPac. If you can trace who her consultants are, some of them probably has the same DNA as Sarah.
ReplyDeleteCitizens United opened the door, and the con artists, pimps, and Bitches came crawling through. I say, take these suckers to the cleaners. They wanted it, so drain them.
ReplyDeleteSnowdrift Snooki continues to prove one again that people who live to themselves are often left to themselves. A day without Sarah Palin is like a day without crab lice...
ReplyDeleteGryphen, I keep hoping that one of your sources will provide insight on exactly what the 2 women who are old Sally Heath family friends do for the PAC. What are Marilyn Lane and Carol Ryan doing? I think they take care of Trig and perhaps even Piper. Sally and Chuckie are not in great health, so who looks after the young ones? My bet is Auntie Marilyn and Auntie Carol do just that.
ReplyDelete.....now the strip tease a couple weeks back makes sense......the titillation to run for senate was nothing more than an effort to drain the checkbooks of the devoted.

Andrea Baker > Sarah Palin6 hours ago near Solvang, CA · Great interview on hannity regarding the death panels!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, is it just me or does Sarah Palin needs to get new talking points? Is she is still talking about death panels?
Never an acknowledgement that moving one little girl up on the transplant list moved someone else patiently 'waiting' THEIR turn on that list onto a probable 'death panel' list. There was also much concern that transplanting adult sized lungs into one so small and young might not be successful. Had the surgery failed, would Palin take responsibility for urging such a risky procedure and would she send flowers to that unfortunate soul who missed out on a chance to receive those live-saving donated organs?

ReplyDeleteTHIS IS THE ELECTRONICS AGE!

$124, 000 ON POSTAGE?
Why would SarahPac spend $124, 000 on postage when Sarah Palin is successful with her Facebook?
ReplyDeleteI think everyone is missing the point of SarahPac.
ReplyDeleteSarah only contributes to the candidates she approves.
LESS Government (Duh)...more $ for her!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Sounds to me like Fox Noise has pulled the plug on her home studio - that's why she has been relegated to phone-in interviews!
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin and Tim Crawford, can you explain to me why should I give my money to SarahPac?
ReplyDeleteInstead of giving SarahPac my money along with the rest of the people, why can't we give our own money directly to our political candidates ourselves and skip the $495, 000 SarahPac overhead? Face it, you guys only gave $5, 000 to one candidate and God only knows who received whatever it is SarahPac collected.
Is SarahPac another pyramid scheme?
ReplyDeleteThe people on the lower levels constantly lose year after year while the SarahPac creators on the top levels, the Sarah Palins, the Tim Crawfords and the Rebecca Mansours always makes out financially.
"The PAC has the resources ready to contribute to whomever the governor decides to support and endorse during the 2014 election cycle," its treasurer Tim Crawford said in an e-mail Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhat governor? Governor Parnell? That's the only governor Alaska has right now.
I wish a 'journalist' would ask McCain what he thinks about Todd Palin being a pimp in Alaska. And, the fact he is on the committee ignoring Malia's letters, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnyone noticing that Todd is nowhere to be seen of late.
McCain's legacy WILL be the fact he made the horrible choice of Palin on his ticket and they LOST big time!!! Not just by 4 or 3% - think it was 8%!
What happened to Alaska's Annual Independence Day party when Sarah Palin quit her job as governor?
ReplyDeleteOh, we still celebrate it, each in his or her own way. Traditions vary but happy toasts are usually offered and Alaskans compare "did you hear what that dumbass did" stories. And we are very glad she is gone. She hardly ever shows her face in Alaska any more.
DeleteAnd we like it like that.
One of the refunds was to a Elizabeth Wiskemann for $5000. She donated the money to SP in 2012. In fact Wiskemann donated $158,400 in 2012 to a slew of repub groups and PACs.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/elizabeth-wiskemann.asp?cycle=12

Me thinks that this major donor to the republican party was none to happy of the skewering Palin gave to Carl Rove and the threat to split the party. Not smart to piss on and off a whale like lizzy.

Sarah Palin's SuperPAC scam is precisely what is wrong with these entities. I'll give money to the national, state and county Democratic Parties and only during an election cycle to the campaigns of specific candidates. I sure don't want to waste my political contributions giving them to someone who will then, theoretically anyway, give the money to a genuine candidate. Sarah Palin is a crook who has been working a broken political system for years. I hope that her PAC gets investigated and that she and her financial gurus (Todd? RAM?) end up in federal prison for a few years.

There are many apt adjectives for Sarah Palin, but "humiliated" is not one of them. Humiliation only happens to people who have some level of self- and other-awareness.
ReplyDelete"more than $124,000 on postage and mailings."
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what the "mailings" are, and to whom?
Make a small donation and see if you get emails and regular mail.
DeleteHas anyone actually ever received a mailing from SarahPac that would actually constitute postage?? What types of mailings are they?
ReplyDeleteI'm still puzzled that we are in the electronic age and Sarah spends $124K on postage?

Delete"postage" is code for drugs.
DeleteMe thinks SarahPac buys Sarah Palin's books and if a donor donates $100 or something like that then SarahPac mails them a book? That's one way to make Sarah Palin a "Bestseller" and to write off those books on taxes.
ReplyDeleteThat could explain why SarahPac has high postage rates and could explain why Sarah Palin has re-released her same book with a new cover and pictures.

Todd was paid over $300 to "do" the gift bags.

Who is Marillyn Lane and what is her relationship to SarahPac and to Sarah Palin?
Ms. Palin had wanted to let the news of the pregnancy sink in first, said Ms. Cole, her friend. She had intended to tell her family more after she returned from Texas. Then the baby arrived.Her hesitation gone, Ms. Palin glowed with maternal pride. “Sarah was absolutely ecstatic,” said a friend, Marilyn Lane.
-NY Times
In her letter, Palin said Adrian and Marilyn Lane, who are friends of Palin's family and who lived in the same subdivision as Wooten, had seen him drink a beer at their house and then drive off in a patrol car "waving with beer in hand."
-Juneau Empire
The former Alaska governor’s parents received $3,200 from the PAC in January for “correspondence and card mailing.” Likewise, the mother-daughter team of Marilyn and Tiffany Lane of Wasilla and Anchorage, Alaska, respectively, collected a combined $28,000 for part-time clerical work,
-Politico 2011
The rest was paid to three Alaskan women, Carol Ryan of Wasilla, and what I am assuming is the mother daughter team of Marilyn and Tiffany Lane. Altogether this trio was paid almost $27,000 dollars for the quarter. If that continues for the entire year these three will have earned over $100,000 for "clerical work." That is quite a sum of money for stuffing envelopes, filing papers, and.....?

Isn't Carol Ryan friends with Sally Heath who is Sarah Palin's mother?
Dec 21, 2009 - I recently was approached by Sarah Palin's mother, Sally Heath, and her friend Carol Ryan, and asked ...
Palin also paid Carol Ryan $5,000 for "clerical work." And Marilyn Lane $7,500 for the same. As we have established in the past I think that this is more likely something more to do with the care and feeding of certain family props then anything to do with filing or typing.

The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin - Page 219 - Dan and Carol Ryan told us their tearful tale of life in Wasilla and of their joyous life as friends of the Heaths.

It's hush money. They know about Tri-G.
DeleteWait a second, Marilyn Lane and Carol Ryan from Wasilla gets paid often? What I find interesting is that all the times Sarah Palin is on travel and never takes Trig with her, who watches Trig and does SarahPac pay for his babysitter? Just curious, is Carol and Marilyn babysitters? They are close family friends and they do live in Wasilla?

(Tried to comment from Safari with my laptop and couldn't. Waaah! I hate Firefox, but for Gryphen I'll make the sacrifice if I have to.)
I doubt Trig even lives with Sarah. He is farmed out to caretakers and is only brought over for photo ops.
DeleteKatie pointed this out...
ReplyDeleteremember her little trip to see the 27 kids and tape a dollar under their seats?
She charged off the entire trip to SarahPAC! Scroll to the bottom; the t-shirts, the gift items, the goody bags themselves - all charged off to SarahPAC. Talk about abuse of the system!

By some accounts Palin has earned $25M since leaving the governorship. At a Pac burn of $1M per year she can stay in the public eye for years before running out of her own money.
ReplyDeleteWe're fucked.
She won't spend her own money, it's OPM all the way with her.
DeleteFor yor information, you don't have to pay anything toread Sarah's Facebook or twitter-- or to comment on her Facebook. Her censor may remove yor comment if it doesn't praise Palin or her family, but you do not have to pay to play.
ReplyDeleteShe was probably smoking crack in the bathroom and couldn't get it together for the camera and so had to phone it in. Ailes is not paying her to phone it in.
ReplyDelete"postage" = hard drugs, hush money to cover triggate, plastic surgery and todd's silk pantie...err underwear. I would feel really dumb if I donated to SarahPAC right now. Poor suckers were literally robbed.
ReplyDeleteWho does Sarah Palin pay to watch Trig when she is gone?
ReplyDeleteNot listed in SarahPac's FEC report, unless Trig is considered "postage", "clerical" or "gift bags"?
I don't see Sarah's sack of potatoes listed.
DeleteMust be nice to have your own PAC? It's like having your own personal ATM with unlimited cash you don't have to account for it to the IRS?
ReplyDeleteSarah wants us to believe that Bristol, Willow and Piper are not getting a piece of the SarahPac's pie.
ReplyDeleteWhere are their names on SarahPac's FEC report?
What about Sally Heath?
SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford said in an email to The Associated Press on Wednesday that the PAC, for the most part, gave donors a break and didn't fundraise aggressively during the latest reporting period.

Explains why the Palins are unemployed except for the narcissist' s part time job on FOX. Sarah still needs to be seen and loved by her people.
ReplyDeleteGov Sarah Palin had the nerve to charge Alaskan taxpayers per diem to live in her own home.
ReplyDeleteWhere on SarahPac's FEC does Sarah lists her per diem to live in Arizona? It has to be listed on there somewhere. That's how Sarah rolls.
If Palin wasn't fundraising aggressively-why did she pay NorthStar Strategies
ReplyDelete$ 7500 / month ?
You would think that Brainiac Palin would have realized she wasn't getting much return buck for that bang.
Unless-there's some type of kick back, money laundering going on there.
And if NorthStar is doing her marketing/ fundraising-shouldn't they be paying the postage ?
And what is Grey Strategies and why do they also get $ 7500/ month ??
The address Palin listed for Grey Strategies-
2117 Imperial Circle
Naples, Florida 341101038 is for a very nice residential home in Naples , Florida.
The photos show a home office..but, it still seems odd.
http://www.trulia.com/homes/Florida/Naples/sold/4241554-2117-Imperial-Cir-Naples-FL-34110#photo-13
According to Zillow, the house sold on 3/15/ 2013 and yet, Palin continues to send money to that address afterwards.
Hmmm..
If Palin wasn't fundraising aggressively-why did she pay NorthStar Strategies$ 7500 / month ?.
DeleteThey have to say that to save face.
WHY ARE STATES ARGUING WHO SHOULD CLAIM SARAH PALIN?
ReplyDeleteSOMEBODY TAKE HER!
The poll results show that 37 percent of the people thought it was "more appropriate for Palin to run for office in Arizona, rather than Alaska. Forty-one percent found it more appropriate that Mama Grizzly runs in Alaska.....Overall, it was a good effort by Alaskans, but no thanks -- you can keep her.
