Sarah Palin agreed in December to pay a New Jersey newspaper $15,000 to settle a lawsuit over her campaign's unauthorized use of an iconic photograph of firefighters hoisting the American flag on 9/11 — but the deal remains stalled over the former GOP vice presidential candidate's insistence on confidentiality, according to court papers filed Monday in U.S. District Court.
According to the documents, William Dunnegan, the attorney for North Jersey Media Group, which publishes The Record of Bergen County, says that on Dec. 22, 2014 -- four days after the two sides agreed in principle to settle the case -- lawyers for SarahPac, Palin's campaign organization, "asserted that there must be a broad confidentiality clause."
"Shortly thereafter, Palin's counsel, Ronald Coleman, Esq., told me that Palin required a confidentiality clause because her political action committee did not want any hint of a compromise associated with her name," Dunnegan writes.
Dunnegan included with his filing several emails exchanged with Palin's lawyers regarding the settlement.
"We have confirmed with our client, and accept your offer of a $15,000 settlement," Palin attorney Brian Farkas wrote in a Dec. 18, 2014, email that Dunnegan filed with the court. "We assume that this will include a mutual confidentiality/non-disparagement clause in the stipulation of discontinuance.''
Okay this cracks me up.
So after first claiming that the plaintiffs did not have a case, then claiming they lived in the wrong place to file a lawsuit, and then demanding that they move the case to Alaska, finally Palin reaches a deal and it falls apart because she does not want anybody to know that she settled?
Yeah wouldn't want anybody to think she was capable of compromise or anything, right?
I like how Palin claimed that she required the confidentiality clause because "HER political action committee did not want any hint of a compromise associated with her name."
As if SHE wasn't the person completely in charge of what the PAC wanted or did not want.
Well gee, guess what? We all know about it now.
her political action committee did not want any hint of a compromise associated with her name
ReplyDeleteThat's like a raving lunatic person saying she does not want any hint of sanity associated with her name.
She doesn't want "a hint of compromise" associated with her? Compromise is what normal human beings do, every day. Compromise is necessary to function in society and in life. She doesn't want to be associated with compromise? She might as well not be associated with breathing.
Compromise ... not in the Republican dictionary!
DeleteCalling this ruling a 'compromise' is insane in itself.
DeleteShe (or her minions) did wrong, and now she's gotta pay for her stupidity.
That's NOT a compromise, that's the very definition of punishment.
Her lawyer can try to spin it any way he wants to, but facts are facts, SarahPAC's getting spanked.
6:58 : no, they probably DID compromise - they settled for just $15K instead of $75K!
DeleteI hope, the paper is now going after her PAC for the full amount, PLUS court costs.
Did SarahPAC compromise or did they negotiate the price down? It's sort of like a plea deal -- "we'll let you get by with paying $15,000 now or you can refuse and we'll go to court where you'll end up paying $75,000 because you are guilty".
DeletePalin speak definitions as they appear in the word salad thesarus:
DeleteCOMpromise
1. Bad word which sounds like a commie thing - it even starts with COM dontchakno!
2. We ALWAYS win, compromise sounds like half losing!
3. Gotsta stand our ground at ALL times!
4. If momma grizzly ain't happy then aint no one happy :-(
5. Let's make a dill sounds like a stupid idea for a tv show- never figured how it succeeded. So why would we make a dill with h8trz? We're payin our liars to eff em over-NOT to chitchat!
I have to wonder why only $15,000. Thats only a slap on the wrist. She having a cash flow problem.
ReplyDeleteThis part cracks me up:
ReplyDelete"over her campaign's unauthorized use"
She has a campaign????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

"over her campaign's unauthorized use"
DeleteWait Wait
Can SarahPAC pay for Sarah's campaign expenses? I didn't think it could do that. I might be wrong about this though.
You are correct 8:48pm, this type of PAC cannot pay her campaign expenses. The money can only be used to support causes or other candidates.

DeleteA SarahPAC is a Trojan Horse. Full of shit.
ReplyDeletePut this one into the WIN column for Gryphen and IM. The New Jersey Media Group was not aware of SarahPAC's misappropriation of their intellectual property until several of us sent them the link to the original IM story. Go Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteAnd to further speak to the evil that is Sarah Palin: the NJMG derives no financial gain from this photo. All licensing fees it receives are directed to a 9/11 survivors' foundation.
Yep- someone posted the link to send an email (thanks for that!) and I am one of I'm sure many who sent an email to them about the unauthorized use of their iconic photo.

That newspaper must not know who Sarah is: "Do you know who I am?"
ReplyDeleteThey better watch out, she'll send Bristol to beat them up and pee on their sidewall
DeletePalin’s lawyers said in their court filing that she was “unwilling to settle claims if the decision to compromise would be used by plaintiff, a media organization, to make political and headline-generating hay.”
ReplyDeleteNow that is funny. The story was out over a year ago and now she doesn't want the the organization she stole the picture from to be able to talk about it. That's because SHE wants to control the narrative, SHE wants to be the only one that could possibly use it for "political and headline-generating hay" at her super VanityPAC to beg for donations because don't you know there's more dollars to be made because this is actually libel against her because she's the only true victim here and it's a matter of protectin' her free speech.
It's just like her & Bristol's pre-emptive public trashing of "Ricky Hollywood" because he might use Tripp to make money off of when in actuality it was because THEY are the ones who wanted to use Bristol's baby as a money-maker for themselves and boy did they ever milk it in Hollywood for every last possible dime they could.
Yes if Sarah got her way you betcha she'd use the confidentially clause to make money off of it because she's that desperate. In her mind she did no wrong and because it was her action she should be the only one that could ever possibly profit from it.
Well guess what Sarah. YOU didn't build that! Just ask Metallica. . . .
Sarah Palin: A world class control freak.
ReplyDeleteRJ in BBistan
Accepting a settlement is an admission of guilt and we all know that the princess is never guilty...as in "I've been cleared of all charges". Sarahland must be an incredible place to live. I think she really believes the legend in her own mind.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not an admission of guilt. Having just been sued by a landlord for nonpayment of rent -- bogus -- I was required by the judge to attempt to settle with the landlord before the last resort, a trial, which I would easily have won. We settled. Guilt or innocence of either party was never established. The case was permanently sealed. But I got >$15K in the settlement.
Delete7:39 AM "BULLSHIT". That is completely different from copyright infringement. If you think that Sarah Palin would easily have won, then you are stupid!
DeleteFuck you 8:25, you are the stupid one.
DeleteThere is no question of "guilt" in this case, the photo was published thus establishing "cause". That is much different than someone accused of not paying rent, while actually paying rent. The landlord has no "cause" to sue if payment had been received.
Delete8:57 AM You can't handle the truth. You came here with that did not pay rent drivel which in no way compares to copyright infringement. BTW Go fuck yourself, clown.
DeleteI noticed in the screen shot one of the comments was "have the same photo magnet on our freezer".
ReplyDeleteI am quite sure that whoever made the magnets paid to use the photo.
Give it up Sarah. Your unwillingness to compromise and try to control who can and can not talk about it has only backfired. The only way you're getting out of this one is to plead insanity which is what most of America thinks of you anyway so it couldn't hurt.
Alaskans know what the Palins are REALLY like and the nation (with this particular incident) is getting a 'small' taste of her/them!
DeleteThe Palins have broken so many laws in Alaska and have gotten caught. Why do you think she 'quit' being their governor?
Plus, she was found to be 'unethical' by the Alaska Legislature!
She's one sorry ass!
This is all be because the Palins always look at any angle as possible profit. Like Todd said, "What's in it for us".
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that the newspaper intends to donate that fine money to a fund for surviving families of the firemen who went to the 9/11 disaster.
ReplyDeleteI would think that Miss Patriotic Christian Sarah would be happy to pay the fine and then brag about it instead of needing confidentiality.
Guess she is too wonky-eyed over her new toy-boy to worry about any charity.
ha ha $arah Payme has finally been forced to actually donate out of her PAC more than she ever voluntarily would have to a worthy cause. It must really chap her ass because that eats into the Palin family income or Bristol's wedding ring.
DeleteConservatives, think the Bush administration, have never been considerate of the problems first responders to 9/11 have had. To the GOP 9/11 became a campaign backdrop (only) until 2008 when they suddenly wanted everyone to forget all about it. It wasn't until President Obama took office that the federal government did anything.
DeleteSo Sarah would not want to think that any of her penalty money would go to help those people who have been permanently injured by their work in the building debris in those dreadful early days and weeks.
Beaglemom
Yeah it would be a nice gesture if she paid the fine and added some more money to the fine just to look human.
DeletePay up sarry. You committed a crime by stealing from the first responders. You are one sorryass clown.
ReplyDeleteYou should had made a black and white pic of your gold-digging parents killing rats at ground zero for you slush...er I mean pac.

Delete"her political action committee did not want any hint of a compromise associated with her name"
ReplyDeleteThen, you know, don't commit the action that requires a compromise to settle. Or is that too easy?
I bet she would pay up quick if the newspaper started investigating her many scandals.
ReplyDeleteWe should all send emails to journalist in New Jersey asking them to research the many negative things that are out there with regard to Sarah Palin and her family.
DeleteAs sad as it is to say, they probably think her a waste of time at this point. She has no part in the Republican party - either nationally or in Alaska - and she has proven to be a failure in everything else she has tried.
I promise you folks - she is going away even though she'll try everything possible to stay relevant! Americans are sick to death of her, her family and Alaska!
Oh, I don't know, 10:04, I think a lot of people would be interested in any number of the skeletons; the hurried up quitting of governorship, babygate, who forced her onto McCain, who burned the church records, and on and on.
DeleteLook how much interest the Palin Family Brawl garnered!
R in NC
Of course we know about it, and a couple of other news sites, like New Jersey Law, have an article on this. This behavior of hers displays what we know to be true. She has a severe case of personality disorder. She can't lose, and if she thinks she loses, she can't allow anyone to see that she loses.
ReplyDeleteIn Sarah's mind, she's in constant battle with the bad guys, where she's the good guy/gal. Even if she breaks the law, and requires to fix it, she's still the good guy, in her mind, having being forced to obey the laws that the bad guys put out there to make her life miserable.
Other people, to Sarah, are just people, who need laws and rules and must obey. But Sarah, in her eyes, has every right to disobey. She can't operate in her Esther ways, if she's blocked left/right/center with stupid laws.
This time, she won't be able to claim she's the victim. The word is already out that she broke the law, the cat is out of the back, the toothpaste is out of the tube, Sarah.

DeleteToo bad for Sarah that New Jersey is governed by Republican Chris Christie, otherwise she could claim it was evil Dems persecuting her because she's a conservative, christian woman.
ReplyDeleteShe has gotten used to other Republican's and their operatives cleaning up her messes and covering for her. But things have changed, she is now responsible for her own actions and stupidity, oh the inhumanity of it all! LOL!
I seriously doubt that Chris Christie would want anything to do with Sarah Palin at this time in his life.
DeleteHe has more than enough 'negative' items running against him (he'll never be POTUS!) and the last thing he needs is crap about Sarah Palin hanging around his neck!
Sarah Palin: I'll keep on doing it until the courts tell me to stop.
ReplyDeleteHey, Sarah. The court says that you owe the newspaper $15,000. Pay up already. Don't you remember saying that you shouldn't pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the truckload? They have more followers than your facebook, twitter, and SPC put together. You lost!
The $15,000. judgement goes into a fund for the 9/11 First Responders. Those are the people who Sarah Palin is cheating.
Looks like she's going to "keep on doing it" even after the courts have told her to stop. I hope the court comes down hard on her, especially since the money benefits first responders ie: those near and dear to her "servant's heart".
DeleteShe would not return her own lawyers calls. OOPSIE, let's keep this confidential.

16. If defendants want to blame someone for not completing the settlement, they have
no one to blame but themselves.
Respectfully yours,
Sarah Palin went to a lot of trouble to trademark her image so people could not use it or worse, so people could not alter it and distort it. That is exactly what Sarah PAC did to the iconic 9/11 photo. They changed it from color to black and white. They cropped it. And worst of all, they slapped their logo on it and used it to ask for donations. That is a commercial use of the photo, and the terms of the newspaper's copyright are that a fee has to be paid for using the photo that way. Sarah objected to photos of her being altered yet she did that to a more iconic picture.
ReplyDeleteDo as she says, not as she does with everything, literally everything else.
DeleteSo she drags this in court for months because she's too stubborn to admit she did a wrong. She doesn't want her GOOD name dragged down, hahahahahahahahahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteWho is she trying to fool? Practically the whole country knows she's a phony.
Her donors can now see that she is disobedient and when caught, won't admit her faults. She'll wrestle and try to wiggle out of it, at the EXPENSE of her generous donors. They send her the money to her PAC, she breaks the law, their money pays for her indulgences and disobedience, as well as for her dragging the case in court for months.......just because she won't claim she's 'lost'.
Once a donor supports Sarah, there's no telling where their money goes. Right now, it's fighting against the right for a photographer to have his art be used for charity, to raise money for the 9/11 injured and sickened firefighters.
Only a vile person like Sarah Palin would use that image illegally to raise money for HERSELF.
Well said, thank you!
DeleteIs that all? $15,000? I'll bet her PAC made a helluva lot more than that using that photo. And I'll bet that's what she wants to cover up.
ReplyDeleteYou Betcha!
DeleteIt's so nice to see Sarah realizing that she has no power in the lower 48. Once she plays her game down there, she's no longer in her own little pond. She's the lone duck that has to follow the rules of the new ducks in town.
ReplyDeleteShe should go back to her own little pond, maybe they'll take her back, but I doubt it.
She should be put in her dead pond that she lives on in Alaska just to see if she can swim!!!
DeleteWhat is the compromise? Compromise means one side gave on some issues, and the other side gave on some issues.
ReplyDeleteOkay, she has agreed to pay the paper $15,000. What has the paper admitted to or offered to give up?
If nothing, then the talk about compromise is just bullshit. The paper won and SarahPAC (Sarah's personal slush fund) lost. Period.
Yes.
DeleteMaybe the newspaper agreed to a lesser settlement because her PAC was running out of money.
(We need $10,000 by midnight! - sounds familiar, right?)
That's the only compromise I can possibly see here.
Someone wrote that the original sum that Sarah owed was $75,000. If the paper came down to $15,000 that's the compromise.
DeleteI think the compromise is the fact she is agreeing to a settlement at all.
DeleteHey, Sarah. Don't take it personally. The PAC has the money. The PAC can write the check. Then put on that victim-act and your fans will donate some more money to the PAC. You might even make a profit it you claim that the big bad media ganged up on you.
ReplyDeleteI thought the 'idiot' was not suppose to have anything to do with her PAC. Isn't she suppose to NOT control disbursements made by the fund OR have any input as to monies received by it?
DeleteWhat am I missing? Didn't she just recently ask for donations to the PAC in the amount of $10,000?
Does the broad deserve to be put on trial and put in jail?
Questions, questions!!!
Tim Crawford is in charge of SarahPAC.
Delete8:57am That is the case with super PACs however SarahPAC is not a super PAC it is an unconnected, leadership PAC so she can legally fundraise and make decisions on expenditures.
DeleteShe is not running for office, so she can control the money from the PAC, and legally, they don;t have to give a dime to candidates. It's kind of a GoFundSarah club.
DeleteShould anyone be surprised that Palin has the type of PAC that she can manipulate? Shockaroo!!!
DeleteThat's exactly why she wanted "confidentiality" - so she would have exclusive rights to use the story for more donations.
DeleteOh, and I don't see what SarahPAC is whining about, in not wanting any hint of a compromise to be made public.
ReplyDeleteAll they have to do is do exactly what they did during the '08 campaign, when Palin said that the report that found her guilty of misusing her office completely exonerated her. Just lie, lie, lie.
Will SarahPAC be sending another request for money?

Palin is going to end up paying 'way more' (due to her legal fees) than the actual judgment.
DeleteAnd, it's all due to a continuation, in showing her idiotic ways, due to again trying to protect herself by hiding her nasty deeds from public scrutiny. She flunked AGAIN!
Mrs. Palin will always say and do the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong place to the wrong people. She is a marvel. This woman could fuck up an anvil.
ReplyDeleteI assume that confidentiality agreements do not apply if the confidential issue is the commission of a crime.
ReplyDeleteLevi: If you signed a confidentiality agreement with the Palins, the agreement could be void and invalid as you may have been a minor and the agreement was in order to cover up a fraudulent crime (voter fraud) against the people of the United States of America.
Dancing with The Stars participants: any confidentiality agreement you may have signed with regard to Bristol Palin, the ape that could not dance, may be void and invalid. Since, it was clear that Bristol Palin was pregnant with a child during her DWTS competition, AND there was never any news reports of Bristol giving birth or miscarrying the child, or giving up a child for adoption, it is possible that the child could have been aborted or murdered and tossed in a dumpster. Thus your silence due to the confidentiality agreement you may have signed may be covering up a crime which voids the agreement.
This skank actually believes her hype...
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody else hear screaming and the unmistakable thud of canned goods hitting a refrigerator?
ReplyDelete"Shortly thereafter, Palin's counsel, Ronald Coleman, Esq., told me that Palin required a confidentiality clause because her political action committee did not want any hint of a compromise associated with her name," Dunnegan writes.
ReplyDelete"... that Palin required a confidentiality clause..."?
I don't understand, can someone explain what Sarah Palin wants?
All these years Sarah Palin received all the benefits of having a political action committee but when it comes to being sued for wrong doings, Sarah Palin wants what?
Is Sarah Palin now distancing herself from her PAC's wrongdoings?
Is Sarah Palin invoking the Sgt Schultz Clause regarding using a copyrighted photo?
"I know nothing!
-Sgt Schultz Hogan's Heroes
That's too funny.
Seems that anyone with a SuperPac can use it as a legal defense fund for when they get caught.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand any of this. A 'professional' and an ex-governor, who owns a PAC, run by advisors and accountants, Tim Crawford, etc., can't realize they violated a copyright law, using someone else's work, without permission?
ReplyDeleteDid they think they'd get away with it? Do they even think? They behave like little children who found a big bag of cash and go gaga with all the dough. It's like "A Simple Plan".
Of course they knew it was a copyright violation. However, anyone in Sarah Palin's tight circle believes that the American flag, in any form (from boots to bracelets to purloined iconic photographs owned by others), belongs by right to Sarah Palin exclusively. I'm surprised she hasn't sued the local post office for flying the flag. It's hers, by golly, it's hers.
DeleteBeaglemom
Flaming narcissists are NEVER wrong - in their own sick minds. Hopefully this will now proceed through the courts and drain the PAC. $75K payment, plus all those attorneys fees. Imagine the KKKlan without the slush fund....
ReplyDeleteDarn. Too bad we have to wait until July (?) to see the next PAC filing.
DeleteAs they say, Time Will Tell.
So much about this does not make sense. A Palin trademark.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they wait until they settled to come up with the idea of confidentiality? Shouldn't that have been PART of the settlement if they wanted it?
Do they think they can bully around the newspaper?
Are we seeing a glimpse of how the Palin Enterprise works? They give you what they think you want and then they mention "Oh, by the way, just sign this confidentiality paper and we'll get this finished off."
That way the person has already given in, is looking for the glory and doesn't have time to think or to back out. If they mentioned up front a confidentiality agreement, the person would have questioned it and asked around. (others not the paper, I'm thinking of family, acquaintances and others they' bought off.)
Can't help but wonder if Dakota has signed off on his confidentiality statement yet. No way can I see his family signing off on one. What's in it for them?
I would never sign off on something so that a family member could do something with someone else. That in itself is a Big Red Flag that something is off.
Of course, I don't hang with the likes of the Palins and don't go jumping at free money or get suckered into things because I have a big ego.
And of course, like most of us here. I work for a living and am happy to do so.
Guess this "confidentiality" clause didn't work as well as the one they made everyone sign on DWTS when the pregnant, retarded one tromped around the stage looking like a fat epileptic on downers.

DeleteWhy are you guys complaining about Sarah Palin’s SarahPac? On SarahPac's website they are soliciting money from the public for political use and not for personal use.
ReplyDeleteWait a second, I think I understand why you are all upset.
The Hill:
Is it legal for SarahPAC to pay for the Palin family vacation? Palin has been emphatic, repeatedly saying it’s not a campaign trip, not a prospective campaign trip, not a political trip, not a “publicity-seeking tour,” just a family vacation.
Four days into her free media tour, reporters finally started to inquire. Not surprisingly, Palin’s response referred reporters to her political action committee’s (PAC) website, deflecting with her usual verbal gymnastics: “I don’t know why in the world you would ask a question like that. I’m just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities.” There is no mention of trip costs — the elaborate bus wrap, staffing, hotels, meals, gas, etc. — on the site. There is, however, a nice green button soliciting donations for the family vacation.

DeleteIf Piper is like the rest of the Palin brood then I'd imagine that reading would not be top on the list of accomplishments. I can't even believe that Willow can read the instructions on the bottles of hair color that she uses on a daily basis, given her upbringing. Perhaps Penrose Academy offers remedial reading classes for potential hairdressers attending their school.
DeleteAnon @ 12:55 P.M. - NO education would benefit any of the lazy, layabout palin slackers. Remember, their idiot mother always belittles those with higher education - "those nosy college-edumacated libruls". Besides, the smarmy-assed little prick bullied the reporter on the bus tour - "thanks for ruining our vacation", while her bird-brained mother couldn't get the story of Paul Revere straight! She is doomed to failure just like the older ones; hopefully she can read the directions on the bottle of "cramp pills".
DeleteSorry, my mistake - that should read "NO amount of education would be of any benefit to any of the lazy, layabout palin slackers".
DeleteHey Sarah, remember when you became outraged and defended Dr. Laura's use of the n-word and tweeted that her 1st Amendent rights ceased to exist because of activists? Or defended Phil Robertsons comments comparing homosexuality to bestiality?
ReplyDeleteNow you want a confidentially agreement because in your heart you believe the 1st amendment is to protect YOU from the newspaper's right to free speech?
You've just given the public ammunition and they're not retreating but reloading as you always recommend.
Maybe for once you should try studying your bible that you claim to live by.
Galatians 6:7 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Job 4:8 - According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity And those who sow trouble harvest it.
Jeremiah 12:13 - They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns, They have strained themselves to no profit But be ashamed of your harvest Because of the fierce anger of the LORD."
Proverbs 22:8 - He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish.
Hosea 10:12-13 - Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you. You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, You have eaten the fruit of lies Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors,
Exodus 20: 15-16 You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Ephesians 6....be prepared...

With that said, was little Piper Diaper being honest, innocent, truthful and wise when she said:

Little children sure are pure at heart but when they get older they vandalize school buses, get pregnant while in high school, drop out of school and has to get GEDs, before they get married they live in sin, are seen buying drugs in a Target parking lot, accused of breaking and entering and get drunk with the family and get into fights.
Little children are just as evil as adults, however they do not have the intellectual talent or physical ability to act on the overwhelming negative energy that is present in all humans. Instead, they shit in their pants and expect adults to clean it up.
DeleteTo your point, I am definitely a better person as an adult than I was as a kid.

hmmm....so that's why the woman needed 10k ASAP...lol
ReplyDeleteWhere are they going for the Palin Family / SarahPac 2015 Summer Vacation? To North Korea? Is $10k enough to shrink wrap Sarah's chartered airplane?
DeleteAs to the bottom photo of Palin -
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine having to look at that face every day of your life? She makes me want to puke and I truly feel sorry for Todd and her kids - the ones that actually live with her that is!
Ugly woman!! How do her Heath and Palin family members even claim her? Good god almighty!
Don't feel sorry for Toad, every time sarah is away he's probably spending her money on hookers and blow.
DeleteWhat ever happened with Todd's girlfriend and new baby?

DeleteYou people are cruel. You are shaming Sarah into not using SarahPAC's funds for this years family vacation. Now they're going to have to sit and watch the fish die from the shore of the polluted Wasilla Lake Lucille.

ReplyDelete2:15 : probably $500, $1,000 at the most.
DeleteFiscally conservative, MY A$$!
Bitch always want something for nothing.
DeleteIs that why she has SarahPac, to pay for family vacations.
If you are the one being offered the deal (a reduced fine), you are hardly in the position to be asking for a confidentiality agreement.
ReplyDeleteBINGO!
DeleteYo! Margaret Cho! Write a book about Bristol being pregnant during her DWTS gig! That confidentiality agreement that you signed ain't worth shit. Inquiring minds want to know, what happened to that bastard child. Any of you other DWTS contestants who had to sign that piece of crap speak up. It's your freedom of speech that holier than thou Sarah tried to shut you up. Let freedom ring, loud and clear!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous9:36 AM
ReplyDeleteI assume that confidentiality agreements do not apply if the confidential issue is the commission of a crime.
Are you saying that anybody who was pressured into signing a Confidentiality Agreement in Alaska while witnessing that person in the commission of a crime cannot be held liable by the Confidentiality Agreement if they disclose said crime? So you're saying that an Alaskan husband and his kids doesn't have to worry about their wife-mother suing them?
Is Palin saying it was never about the $15,000 fine? This stall tactic was about Palin's ego? I can see that.
ReplyDeleteO/T...DWTS had a 10th anniversary gala hosted by People magazine...no Bristol Palin??

DeleteBitch can't dance.
DeleteMark had to drag her pregnant lazy ass all over the dance floor. Without all of those c4p staged votes, Bristol would have been booted off 1st round. She had no talent nor personality.

Wonder why Bristol wasn't there with her MOH Man on her arm?

DeleteDon't look now... here comes the Feds.

DeleteCue Brancy.......
It's not a campaign PAC, she has a lot of freedom. Would love to see the second set of books they keep for the FEC. Just on general principle.
DeleteWhich I presume would be in very short supply.
Clinton will eliminate those in 2016...lol..

ReplyDeleteI fanally knwo who $carah reminds me of. anyone else remember HR Puffenstuff and "Witchypoo?" (with apologies to the talentedactress Billie Hayes) I mean, that nose and chin that will meet soemday soon were the first clue, but then I read Whitchiepoo's bio and...Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo (portrayed by Billie Hayes) - The primary antagonist of the series. Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo is a wicked but inefficient witch who has been targeting Freddy the Flute.... She is mean to everyone around her, even her henchmen, whom she constantly whacks with her wand, yet when faced with failure she usually starts to pity herself, asking "Why me?"
ReplyDeleteSince when does the losing party dictate the terms of the settlement?
ReplyDeleteI hope they judge slams it to her for dragging this on so long, $15,000 plus interest, court costs and attorney fees.
What does Sarah care the settlement money will come from her slush fund, I mean SarahPAC, smaller wedding for Bristol and another letter begging money to her moronic fans.
Confidentiality clause now that she has lost, before she was bragging how she was going to show those elite, liberal, east coaster media folks who the boss is and make them pay.
In the future, I hope more people sue her for copyright infringement, then she'll have to come up with her own original material like those exclusive bumper stickers.

Very surprised that Bristol didn’t go to the 10th anniversary gala. I would have thought Bristol would show up and let Maks see what he is missing out on. Maks its your loss.
Maks didn't lose shit. Bristol is the drunken brawler with the Thong dress. Maks can do so much better. Maks likes women who know how to dance, not Gorilla suit fatties.

Campaign finance questions emerge around Palin’s trip
ReplyDeleteGiven that Palin has so emphatically stated that this personal family vacation is not related to any political purpose, is it criminally fraudulent — federally punishable as mail or wire fraud — if the PAC funds, reasonably contributed for political purposes, are unlawfully converted for personal use?
This is a great question and an incredibly reasonable one for reporters to ask.
Finney thinks Palin is showing poor judgement by using PAC money for a family vacation which is masquerading as a presidential campaign testing-the-water trip which is masquerading as a family vacation. I disagree. Palin can answer as she has already – by being deliberately obtuse while performing linguistic gymnastics in response to reporters questions. She can tell her supporters on Facebook and Twitter that these questions are simply the LAMEstream media out to silence her. And she can probably assume that neither the FEC nor the Department of Justice will investigate if she is illegally using PAC money for personal gain, despite the fact that John Edwards is about to be indicted for using unreported political contributions for personal gain.
http://holdfastblog.com/2011/06/03/campaign-finance-questions-emerge-around-palins-trip/#more-1623
Sarah's PAC has been for personal gain almost entirely. Very little has been used to finance other campaigns. And the amount spends on postage alone is questionable. Of course, neither Sarah nor her spokespeople would ever come clean on the story. That's why an investigation is warranted. This has been an ongoing fraud launched against really stupid people, probably mostly elderly men, and it should be brought to an abrupt end, with the perpetrator, Alaska's own Sarah Palin, spending time in a federal prison.

DeleteCan you post information the contact information for Sarah Palin's family liability insurance company? This is only one situation. How about the hacking and stealing of private personal info from thousands of her enemies? Time to file.liability claims. Lots of complaints from Alaska to DC.
ReplyDeleteThis is Sarah's NPD driving the bus. And why would her lawyers give her honest advice? They get a cut of her PAC as well , perhaps hourly .
ReplyDeleteActually, Sarah Palin was extremely lucky that the plaintiff was willing to settle. She's got it wrong as usual. But her attorneys ought to be smarter than that. Or did they get law degrees from Liberty University.
