A former Republican Party Vice Presidential nominee has used her political action committee to cover more than $700,000 in expenses for her continuing activities.
Sarah PAC, the political action committee of former 2008 Republican Party nominee for Vice President Sarah Palin, reported it had receipts of $717,264 and disbursements of $713,551 during the last six months of 2013.
The PAC had $1,117,684 cash on hand at the end of the year. The PAC spent $242,673 on direct mail and postage; $101,500 on consultants; $69,000 on consultants for fundraising and compliance; $35,750 on research; $26,000 on speechwriting; and $9,909 on Harper Collins books for donors; among other expenditures. The report stated the PAC “did no advocacy.”
The PAC gave $5,000 on 10/8 to Lonegan for Senate in the New Jersey Senate special election. (The PAC also donated donated $5,000 to Rep. Jason Smith.)
On the plus side this is a slight improvement over her last filing which showed that SarahPAC actually brought in less($460,537) than they spent ($496,505).
Hard to get too excited however over a PAC that barely breaks even.
And can you believe that Palin made the PAC buy almost $10,000 worth of her crappy book? I think that just about accounts for about a third of the books that were sold.
It is also worth noting that Palin continues to eat away at her reserves. As of this filing she has $1,117,684 on hand while at the end of her last filing she had $1,113971.25 available.
At that rate she will be back to giving handjobs at the Mugshot Saloon for drinks and cocaine before you know it.
is the mugshot still open 'til 5:00 AM ?
ReplyDeletefukin' crosseyed useless white trash skank
and those are her GOOD points ...
DeleteConsultants= PI's to stalk people
DeletePostage=Hush money.
In 2013, Sarah PAC spent almost as much money on candidates then it did on Sarah's last book. When will Sarah PAC's contributors realize that they have been duped?
ReplyDeleteThose douche bags must love being bent over and screwed by Sarah Palin and SarahPac.
DeleteIt's all rather circular, isn't it? She pays her ghostwriter from funds sent to her PAC by her "fans" who then for a $100 donation to the PAC get a signed copy of her ghostwritten book which she purchased for them with money that they sent to her PAC.
DeleteThe grift is falling flat though, however people like Exodus and Pete and iDesign2 are still arguing that she's running in 2016 and will smack down anyone that speaks to the contrary. I'm sorry guys but you all need to break out the big bucks because your candidate ain't gonna be able to run a campaign bringing in 700 grand each 6 months.
It's blatant, in your face, good old fashioned, money laundering is what it is. Plain and simple. Sarah should be in jail.
DeleteThey are either stupid or suffering from dementia. But who cares? They cn't spend those $$$ on any legitimate candic=dates if they have to pay for the upkeep on Sarahs many houses and cabins.
DeleteAs it relates to the book, the way that I see it is:
Delete1. People send the PAC money to help her "cause"
2. SP gets a minimum guarantee (MG) from the publisher to which she pocket's the money
3. SP used the PAC money to pay the ghostwriter
4. SP then uses the PAC to buy books (to basically cover the MG. Anything above it turns into royalties for SP, which she pockets and helps the Amazon book rankings,
5. If you send SP at least $100, she autographs it and sends it out via postage
6. The PAC pays for the photographer and perhaps splits some of the promotional expenses with the publisher.
"$242,673 on direct mail and postage"?
ReplyDeleteI would be very curious to see some examples of these so-called, "direct mailings..."
Mail - male, taking care, directly, of a young boy who needs taking care of.
DeleteSarah loves word-play, using the French word for Red Neck, or Todd's FeK9 (Iron Dog). Looking at the on-line dictionaries, another word for postage is mail drop (dropping off the male). Face value sounds interesting, too.
It's easy to think like Sarah. Postage = stamp = emblem, token, symbol, hallmark, brand. Some little prop served that purpose for Sarah during the 2008 election. That little male defined her. Now, his care costs the PAC a bundle. He was and is a political expense. Of course, that's just my opinion, and Track is fighting over there, protecting my first amendment right to express my opinion.
I guess she thinks bulk mailing is communistic or something.
DeleteTrack is not "over there" anymore, and when he was he was driving big shots around The gop claims the USPS is going broke, but the large amount this scam artist claims she pays for "postage" seems to be keeping the Wasilla post office in business. SHOW us the receipts. Maybe Chuckles Sr. is listed as their mailman, collecting the "mailing funds"??
DeleteHow can a PAC use near $250,000 worth of direct mail and postage in a six-month period? It does not seem possible. That would be around $41,000 per month, over $1,000 per day.
ReplyDeleteOver $1,000 per day? If she's using her PAC's cash to send her personal books to donors, it's highway robbery. Asking people for donations, asking the same people to buy her books, asking people to donate again and pay much more for an autographed book, and then use the money they donate to send it back to them. She's laughing all the way to the bank.
I wonder how often audits are done on PACs across the nation?
DeleteIt surely looks as though we should all run for any office, establish a PAC and use it for living expenses as long as we can - all the while calling them something else (postage/consulting, etc.)! What a rip off to our U.S. government! Is there something in place that actually allows for these politicians to handle their PACs in this manner?
Plus, these politicians (of which Sarah is no longer!) gets special postage rates (much lower as compared to the everyday American). It's all bullshit!
Sarah Palin is using the system and getting away with it! How in the hell does that happen? Same as to Todd being a pimp!!! Why hasn't he been arrested and taken to trial ?
You cannot tell me that Sarah didn't know about Todd's use of prostitutes and being involved in the business. The prostitutes were provided to members of the FBI, Secret Service, Anchorage Police and politicians.
I keep waiting for the doors to hit Sarah and Todd (Bristol too!) in their asses.
I'd ask to see the receipts. I call bullshit.
DeleteIt's NOT postage.
DeleteHere's how it works: Go to the post office. Buy money order with cash from PAC. Get receipt that says "USPS." Give money orders to staff,family, etc. File receipts as "postage." It's money laundering, pure and simple, but on a much larger scale.
An open question to any of Palin's worshipers.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck do you gvet out of donating to SarahPAC?
They get to kiss Sarah Palin's ass.
DeleteIf they donated $60. they got an autographed book, which they could have bought more cheaply at Amazon. Barnes & Noble was selling autographed copies at the same price as the regular books.
DeleteThey're trying to get her to run for President. Seriously.
DeleteA chance at squatting before her and staring into her eyes, noticing that she remembers seeing me during her first book signing. OMGosh, just typing it gives me moosebumps!!!!!!
DeleteNothing is sadder than a OLD washed up Whore.
ReplyDeleteSarah had NEVER been as good as she represented herself to be. And she's worse now than she's ever been. It sucks to be someone that hates herself so badly that all she can do is pay others to play along with her grift. She's insecure, lazy, and is a liar about every facet of her life. In other words, same old same old Sarah.
DeleteWonder if she's the "epic" whore the other Todd was talking about?

Definitely still a best seller! /s/
DeleteJust like Beefy's and the sad-sack. Creepy Chucks 1&2. Nobody gives a shit about those hicks anymore. LOL
54280...up, up, and AWAY!
DeleteThe reviews are still entertaining. The most helpful 5 star review is a lol.
DeleteWhat a scam this is. There's absolute no value to whatever it is she thinks she accomplishes through her PAC. She sent 2 candidates money; her donors could have just done that themselves and saved money. How much does it cost Sarah to send two $5,000 checks to two candidates? $713, 551!! Is she sure she's a fiscal conservative?
ReplyDeletePlus, you know that it just killed her to have to give to those 2 just to make her PAC look quasi-legit ( to her deluded followers). Her "consultants" probably had to pry the checks out of her bony fingers.
DeleteLooking at the photo of that nasty woman, who would want a hand job or a blow job from her?
ReplyDeleteShe definitely isn't what she use to be and appears to be going backwards financially! Wonder what she will be making on the new reality shows?
I call a foul on the direct mail and postage. Are all her devotees allergic to the internet and must shuffle down to their mailboxes to get her supplications? How much was given to a friend or relative to lick the stamps and take stuff to the post office?
ReplyDeleteDoes Willow get paid for "consulting" when she trolls wikipedia? What is Todd's take? Track's? You know she's supporting her whole family -- plus her drugs and Taco Bells -- with other people's money.
With just a million dollars in the bank -- where did it all go? -- Sarah Palin has only a few more years in which to twirl in the ever-fading spotlight.
It would be REAL interesting to compare her PAC to a LEGITIMATE PAC, and see how much the others spend, and on what...
DeleteMy actual working congressman only sends 1 (maybe two) actual mailings per year presumably to the 430,000 registered voters. At 50 cents per item, that's less than $250000 to reach all the voters in the district. How many pieces of mail did she send?
Delete4:40 PM NONE !!!

Gavora is the wife of Jonah Goldberg of National Review.
His mother and her mother in law is Lucianne Goldberg of Linda Tripp / Monica Lewinsky fame.
Goldberg also has a right wing blog.
If one wants to have any professional bona fides ..being a speechwriter for Palin would seem to be anathema and a career killer ,
in addition to making one a laughingstock.
I wonder if Gavora lists this stellar accomplishment on her CV.
Would Sarah be what Paul Ryan called a "taker" or is she a "maker"?
DeleteJonah Goldberg aka The Doughy Pantload!
DeleteI work in a busy post office in Anchorage where nearly all the mail goes through to anywhere in Alaska -- and I have not seen any big mailings of any kind from Sarah Palin. (Not since she ran for governor, rue the day.) Something is not right with this repeated Palin "postage" scam.
DeleteThe IRS MIGHT be finally catching on. The Palins are upset about Chuckles Sr. being audited by the IRS, so he probably gets a major portion of the $$$.
DeleteA good deal of that money was spent to promote Sarah's book. The PAC would have been paying for Willow and Piper to accompany Sarah, along with her photographer and some other people. Those were pretty big travel expenses. I hope that the donors to her PAC who got their free book appreciate just how much they actually paid for it. (And, it did nothing to promote Sarah Palin politically. If anything, it turned her into a laughing stock).
ReplyDeleteSo Sarah Palin learned her Political 'expertise' at the Mugshot Saloon while Todd Palin was Pimping the North Slope? Do Bristol and Willow hang out at the Mugshot Saloon to find Trial Daddies? Does Track 'CAIN'T GET RIGHT' Menard make his Oxycontin connections at the Mugshot Saloon? What a bunch of

How is she able to write off her new book tours on her PAC? Legally? Doesn't make sense to me. Would think that all income and expenses concerning the book would have to be provided under a different method for IRS purposes.
DeleteLOL , buy the cost of those meals she was eating lobster and caviar while asking her donators to eat rice, my dog they must be stupid!
Delete@4:32 How is she able to write off her book tour and have her PAC pay for it? That's because you thought it was a book about Christmas, but Sarah cleverly wove the political threat against Christmas and Christians. She wove her political point of view through what was supposed to be warm fuzzy memories of playing steal the present. And, she gave some political speeches along the way (Billy Graham Library for example), so she needed to bring a whole crew-- Willow to do her hair, Piper (to hand her the books), the photographer, some guy who made arrangements, it's a very expensive business for Sarah to keep promoting herself, while she has fewer and fewer opportunities to promote herself. (When is the last time you saw her on Fox?)
DeleteIt appears the PAC deceptively underpaid RAM by $4,000.00 in a move to make it look like expenses were lower. For all of 2013, RAM received 11 payments of $6,000 and 1 of $2,000 in December. (There was also an $8000 payment for a lost check in Jan.)
ReplyDeleteOr, possibly, RAM was 'let go.'
The PAC may have similarly underpaid Jason Recher (Northstar Strategies). His regular monthly payment was $7,500 but he only received $2,000 in Dec..
I think you are right. The PAC received bad publicity after the June 2013 filing because it spent more than it collected. I don't think the PAC and Sarah wanted a repeat of this.
DeleteThe PAC spent more than $9,900 on books. The additional $$$ are hidden in a large credit card payment for 'books, airfare, lodging, rental cars.'
ReplyDeleteFirst Bankcard 11/18/2013 books, airfare, lodging, rental cars, co $26,934.97
DeleteAre those the books that they gave to people who donated $60. to the PAC?
DeleteThe accounting is so wrong - bankcards are not expenses - the expenses are the debts incurred & those items should be detailed. Wonder if they are listed twice?
DeleteIf fools want to part with their money - who cares - I want her forced to disclose the reality of the expenditure.
I may be wrong but Bristol owns a LLC that is a consulting firm?
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like a lot of money is funneled right into Sarahs pocket, apparently there is a whole lot of wiggle room in who you hire to do postage and being consultants. You can bet that Todd is one.
Bristol doesn't seem to have a TV show, a book or a speech on tap, so it's a good thing that Sarah can continue to pay her through her LLC. Bristol has been one of the biggest recipients of Sarah's generosity, starting with her own truck and condo as soon as she gave birth to Tripp. Exactly what is Sarah paying Bristol for?? (Well, I can guess, and it's been going on for more than 5 years-- maybe 6).
DeleteBristol's a hardass worker!
Delete@8:46 PM There is nothing Hard about Bristol's Flabby, constantly Pregnant ASS. Bristol keeps the Doctor busy. Most of that SarahPac 'Postage' pays for all of the Babysitters. If Bristol and Willow would stop popping out so many BABIES, SarahPac would have more funds. Piper will soon join the 'MAKING BASTARD BABIES' Club, it is a Palin Family Tradition.
DeleteEverything will come to a screeching halt when the "Boys Will Be Boys" Movie is released. I would bet that some of the contributor's to SarahPAC will want their money back for no longer wanting to support a fraud. The PAC better have enough on hand to cover the refunds.
ReplyDeleteSarah would never release money from her PAC willingly! It would have to requested through Court action and then I still think she and Todd would fight it.
DeleteTime will tell!
I wonder if they might end up hiring a female to play Todd, I can't imagine another man with that squeaky voice.
DeleteThe people who follow her would never go to see the movie. They would not believe the truth, we all know that. Easily fooled, just like the grifting Palin family.
DeleteI would bet that every time she mentions the military Track gets a consultant fee; Willow and Piper received consulting fees for passing books on the tour; and every FB posting Bristol receives a check.
ReplyDeleteWillow: Hair dresser to the stars (star). I don't know what Piper was there for. Prayer?
DeleteI'm going to get on the Sarah PAC mailing list, pronto, to find out what she's sending to her followers, and how often.
ReplyDeleteAnd, those from the Palin klan reading this blog are really going to get paranoid now! Haha!
DeleteI would like to know, good idea.
DeleteGood idea. Give them $10. and tell us about all of the mail that you get. Could it be that the majority of Sarah's donors do not have internet access? No, that's not possible.
DeleteSome of the readers on the main Palin watching blogs ARE on her list and none report huge mailings. Speak up those of you already on the list.
DeleteWillow, Bristol and Chuckles Jr. must be sleeping late, no messages about "Grow Up' "Get a life" "Live vibrantly" "Happy family, eating at Applebees"
DeleteLOL, I knew the PAC would buy a whole bunch of those books that weren't selling, lol.
ReplyDeleteCome on you poor miserable dregs of society, don't you know Bristol needs another new home in Phoenix?. &00,000 grand isn't near enough to support Sarah's 3 homes and 4 cabins and 3 adult children that don't work...come on, why to you need any protein? Dig deep bitches, Trackmark's meth habit isn't cheap.
ReplyDeleteAnd, neither is Sarah's habit cheap!
DeleteThe Palins got away with whatever they wanted in Alaska. Made a HUGE mistake thinking they could do as they pleased in the lower 48. Hopefully, the IRS will do what it has done to other frauds and bring them down.
DeleteHas anybody ever seen one of her direct mailings? Let alone 250K worth?
ReplyDelete3:56 Never and I've lived in Alaska for eons. I'm a registered voter and have never missed doing so - either physically or by Absentee.
DeleteDidn't vote for Palin either when she ran for governor as her campaign didn't impress me. And, upon reflection, I read her correctly!
Waybe Willow or Bristol is the accountant, and figures the cost of the money order plus the stamp is considered "mailing" expenses. Send Bristol a money order for $2,000, add the cost of the stamp and the mailing costs $2,000.45.
DeleteAgain... I wonder, if there is any standard in those PACs. Would be VERY interesting to compare HER 'expenses' to a LEGITIMATE PAC.
ReplyDeleteThe FEC is totally powerless on this???
If so, I wanna open my own PAC...
The biggest difference is most PACs pay salaries and related payroll taxes rather than pretend employees are 'consultants' to avoid taxes.
DeleteI think the rules are very casual. Sarah isn't the only one to take advantage. It is too easy to get by with shit. Did McCain help set up the rules? He has no standards. PACs need to go, they sure do need a re-do and end the racket they have going on.
DeleteI think you are only required to support a candidate OR attack candidates that don't suit your agenda or party.
These superPACS are simply rackets. This is how Sarah Palin makes a living and I doubt if she pays much income tax on any of it. What a joke! Maybe we should all start superPACS.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
However they are laundering the money, she is living off of it, it is income and I bet she is not paying any taxes on it.
DeleteI agree, we should all start PACS, there doesn't seem to be anything to stop us, all we have to do is fine some sucker to send us money.
That's why she and Chuckles Jr. are complaining about the IRS. They are coming after her and her family...and with good reason.
DeleteSarah Pac isn't a super Pac, it's a leadership Pac; they are governed by different rules and if you can believe it Super Pacs are even more lenient on the donation amounts and allow corporate donations, which leadership Pacs do not.
DeleteA leadership Pac such as Palin's is simply a place for like-minded people to make donations and in turn Palin promises to support like-minded candidates through any kind of support: mailers, speeches, not necessarily just financial support.
Exactly Stephen Colbert's thought a couple of years ago.

DeleteMaybe the research was to find out where babies comes from?
DeleteResearch topic: Why does Sarah Palin's hair look like shit. Spend 37,500 of which $20,000 pays for Willblow's hair school and $17,500 goes to Sarah to go to WalMart to buy a new brush.
DeleteSarah, thumbs on phone, "What did they say about me?" "Didn't they say anything about me?" "How can I get them to notice me?" "Hey, is anyone there?"

3:44 has the right idea. Send Sarah's PAC a couple of dollars and report back in 6 months about all of the direct mailings received. You can go to the post office or a bank and have them write the money order if you don't want them to have your credit card info or the info on your check. Even better if you have a PO Box.

I am hopeful that the lawsuit against her PAC using the copyrighted photograph will take a bite out of the assets of this phony endeavor....
ReplyDelete"The PAC spent $242,673 on direct mail and postage; "
ReplyDeleteWTF? HOW MUCH POSTAGE STAMPS DOES IT COST TO RUN SARAH PALIN'S FACEBOOK? I COULD BE WRONG BUT DOESN'T SARAH STAY IN TOUCH WITH HER FANS THROUGH HER FACEBOOK? I THOUGHT FACEBOOK WAS FREE?
That picture is absolutely hidious! I love it. Look at those eyes! There's a lot of crazy going on there. I wonder what was her drug of choice that day.
ReplyDeleteHow come Sarah Palin needs so much money for postage stamps? Every time we see her, she is always holding her cell phone.
ReplyDeleteBut don't a lot of those expenditures end up in Palin pockets?

Now it is 68802 in a few hours.
Is Sarah losing her war against Christmas?
Oh yeah, and it's a good thing.
DeleteI got curious and wandered over to the Palin PAC. I noticed that in spite of all the money she's poured out for attorneys, plane travel, speechwriters, "direct mailings", lodging, meals, etc., the web site contains out-of-date information on several candidates who've already lost their elections. I find it a bit interesting that she doesn't pay a webmaster to tidy up that glaring mess.
ReplyDeleteThis year we’re very excited that Todd’s SkiDoo team and three other teams riding SkiDoo are racing for a very worthy cause! They’re launching the “Bring Home the Pink” campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. All the money goes directly to help women in need. In fact, they’re working with Breast Cancer Focus, an Alaska-based organization run entirely by volunteers, in order to ensure that the donations go to fund efforts that will directly help women....
ReplyDelete-Sarah Palin facebook
So Todd is helping women? I hope it ain't the same way he helped Shailey Tripp.
Haha is this Sarah and Todd's attempt to battle the movie coming out about Todd and his prostitute girlfriend?
DeleteBring Home the Pink sounds like what Todd might name his pimping service.
DeleteMaybe someone should send Breast Cancer Focus a copy of "Boys will be Boys."
Fuck Sarah. Breast cancer gets enough money. She should support a DS organization.
DeleteI wonder how much they payed their troll to stalk me on Facebook.
ReplyDelete"At that rate she will be back to giving handjobs at the Mugshot Saloon for drinks and cocaine before you know it." Two people have told me the same thing over five years ago. The story included leaving with lots of men as well.
It's called "research" Celia.
DeleteThose "consultants" must be the ones flooding her FB with wonderful comments, keeping the conversation going on her fan websites and gaming the vote for Bristol on DWTS. Her father bragged in his book that Sarah had a group of 50 friends who regularly stalked every newspaper and website in order to write favorable comments. They might have also written troll comments. Goodness knows that they show up here often enough.
DeleteMost likely "50" PAID friends. Willow, Bristles, Track, the trial husbands, plus Track's customers for his meth business.
Delete"The PAC spent $242,673 on direct mail and postage"
ReplyDeleteIt sort of fishy that the amount for "postage" in the past has always been around $250,000. Seems like a lot of postage for a reality show star.
She has really fallen far, gosh even FOX didn't have her weigh in with her "intelligent political comments" for the State Of the Union, she was reduced to driving around for an hour and half in her truck to even listen to it so that she could write a "profound commentary" on facebook,like the rest of the teenagers.
This women is a scam artist, traitor and a disgrace to the USA.
I have the same question. Would love to see the receipts.
DeleteOne wonders if there are any thresholds for PAC spending on any one type of expense at which more stringent oversight kicks in.

ReplyDelete:^ )
Todd? Breasts? Pink?
If that wasn't enough, the woman retells another conversation between Todd Palin and herself, in which the fisherman and snow mobile enthusiast implied that he's been secretly looking at her while she changed her clothes.
One day Todd made a comment about my nipples being pink, she noted I said, 'You've never seen me naked,' and he said, 'Well, maybe there's a peephole.' Todd and his friends had been peepin' on us for months. And he wasn't some horny teenager; he was a grown and married man.
As Sarah says, boys will be boys.
DeleteLink?
DeleteTodd and his partner rode for Wounded Warriors last year, and this year it's breast cancer. When is Todd going to ride for Down Syndrome organizations?
DeleteThey are really working the image makeover for Todd!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the receipts for: $242,673 on direct mail and postage. How is it possible to spend that much when you are doing nothing but flogging a book and traipsing coast to coast to promote yourself?
ReplyDeleteGriftzilla is gonna grift hard up until 2016. It's unbelievable how many of her blind stupid idiotic fans actually still believe she is going to run and become president. Ain't gonna happen in a million zillion years. We'll see how her laundering VanityPAC donations drop way off after 2016. You got 2 more years Sarah run Sarah run!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's enough blind and stupid people out there to send her this kind of money. Wonder where those dollars are really coming from? And what service has she performed to "earn" that money? Or maybe it's just blackmail? Yeah, like in "postage"!
DeleteIf anyone has the information-- how much did Sarah pay in the past for postage? I remember one year that Sally got $3,000. for postage. $250,000. sounds like a lot of postage and direct mail, a real lot!
ReplyDeleteStill, it's too much money for that lazy sob of a half term quitter.
ReplyDeleteNot long ago, Chuckie complained that his father, who honestly paid his income taxes had been harassed 6 times in the last 5 years. When Sarah's PAC paid Sally $3,000. for postage, did Sally declare that as income? Sally Heath is not a postmaster (or postmistress) selling US postage stamps. If Sally didn't report the income, that's a problem. If they ignored the letter, or worse, if Sarah said that she'd take care of it and they didn't do anything, then there is a second letter and then a third. Sarah's spending a lot more than $3,000. for stamps, thank you Sally Heath. If the IRS pokes a little further, looking for the name of the direct mail company that handled that $250,000 bill, I wonder where the trail leads.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Chuckies did not report their earnings from SarahPAC. After all, Sarah did not pay taxes on her cabin until caught. I am sure they felt entitled. After all, it was Sarah's money, yes?
DeleteSarah's books are always $1.00 at our dollar store called Dollar Tree.
ReplyDeleteStill too much
Delete$250,000 dollars for direct mail. Hey Sarah, it's 2014, there is a thing called the internet where you can send out your spam for almost free. Trig's care givers, hush money to people keeping your secrets and property acquisitions will just have to cease.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people like Sarah complain about the IRS and the government. Seems to me that they are perfectly free to collect money and spend it without having to pay any taxes.
ReplyDeletec
Let me get this straight, sarah was was paid for "writing" her war on christmas book.
ReplyDeleteShe then used DONOR money for travel, food and lodging to promote her book, to buy her book from the publisher to send to donors ($60) using donor money for postage presumably skimming money at all stages.
These donors are idiots.
Off-topic. I've seen Cindy McCain on national news several times talking about her campaign to go after protitution in Arizona. She has a lot of support and clout on this effort.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it was a "coincidence" that Saaarah, Sarrahh from Alaaaska, penned her tribute to Old Man McCain to remind him that yes, Johnny Boy, She could turn on you.
Sarah to Johnny Boy: I'll stratch your back and you better keep that bitch's nose out of Todd's business.
Well, at least Pimp Daddy Todd probably got the message that his business ventures are not welcome in Arizona.
