Looks like a real Alaskan insider is starting to tell the truth about this Sara woman.

open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at
explaining actions.
has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
--a Greenie--: no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores
and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.
fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built
streets to early 20th century standards.
pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on
residents
pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city
government in Wasillas history.

She fits right in.

How can anyone wonder why Sarah will not talk to the priess?

Thanks for the heads up Redneck! I love the Random Photos too!

Rob,

Please spare us any future attempts to cry foul about Democratic or media-based sexism against Palin. Your credibility on the topic is zero, nada, zilch, zip.

"the topic"?

Try any.

MP -- I posted links to and summarised Anne Kilkenny's review of Palin here on the Retort 3 days ago. Surprisingly few reactions were posted in response. My evaluation of Palin -- McSame's trying to sell sizzle 'cuz he's got no steak on his menu.

Not Manys. You might as well just whistle in the wind.

And just exactly how would you know that? Close inspection?

Most Alaskans must like her.. She has an 80% approval rating... thats about 71% higher than your lib's in the house and senate....

The liberal media went after Sarah Palin and it backfired. Too late for a little nibbling like this to affect her.

Liberal media: backfired.

Celebrities: nonplussed.

Michael Moore: made a fool by Gustav.

The attention is shifted from economy to culture war: advantage for McCain.

4 more years of Bush? The disaffected conservs are energized --- the liberals hates Bush and doesn't need this line anyway.

What can stop Sarah Palin factor?

Am not sure if God was hinting at a win with two clues: 1. but God did say that McCain will be mocked when people say: will he die in office? (age issue); and 2. the VEEP will play a SIGNIFICANT role in this election.

Go figure!

"but God did say that McCain will be mocked when people say"

God said that? Must be in the Bible. Perhaps the same book as the story of McCain and Abel.

Sarah an adultress hussy? Her daughter will be shocked!!

BTW ... could you IMAGINE the reaction of the repubs if one of Obama's daughters (were she old enough) were to come home pregnant from such a thug boyfriend?

It's hard for a serious person to take their side seriously in all of this. Sadly, people actually believe the McCain camp's bullshit because they don't take the time to move beyond blind partisan loyalty. The hypicrisy is breathtaking, but they are blindly loyal nonetheless.

How sad for them and their party (which once contributed serious proposals and ideas to the debate), and how sad for the country.

"BTW ... could you IMAGINE the reaction of the repubs if one of Obama's daughters (were she old enough) were to come home pregnant from such a thug boyfriend?"

If one of his underaged daughters was pregnant, and the father-to-be had a FaceBook entry: "I'm a f*cking NWA", johnson, forsher, et.al, would all be here with post after post, filled with the worst racist comments about it all.

Culture wars distracting from the economy? In your dreams. People are hurting or afraid they will hurt. Clarifies the mind.

But there has been an awful lot of energy expended by the Right in the last few weeks to prove to you that your imagine the hurt, or perhaps just lack in character when you mention it.

One right-wing commentator went so far as to urge persons who think they hurt economically to leave the United States.

On second thought, maybe the culture wars are back. The fight would be between assholes and real people.

"Read your man's (Obama's) past again..."

Sure, lets talk about drug use---

1) Obama experimented with drugs as a teenager, quit, and that's a sign of poor character.

2)Palin used drugs right up until 1995 (how hold is Briston now?), but that makes her a rugged individualist.

Nothing the least bit crazy about Republicans at all.

WHen did she use drugs? ans what drugs???

Nice facts on the drug use....

Take a breath, dude.

YOU side has a record of dismal failure. My suppor tof Obama has to do with his specific policy proposals, and has nothing to do with blind loyalty. My first choice did not win the primary, but on the issues, Obama offers specific plans and proposals with which I agree. You seem to be one of those types who will vote republican no matter what, and will scramble to defend his candidate AFTER the fact, no matter what.

You adolescent guffaws are not unexpected, considering your previous posts, but I have yet to read anything from you of substance with regard to a particular policy proposal from McCain or Sarah P.

Not that I have any great expectations, but as a teacher, I'm inclined to recognize effort, even when substance is lacking ... so DO give it a try sometime.

zed

Where are the facts???

Consider the source, people.

This lady is a registered Democrat. Would you really believe what a registered Republican would say about a Democrat running for office?

Still waiting to hear the source of the Palin drug use.

Sarah Palin inhaled, but "didn't like it."

Ah, yes ... the ad hominem attack. Let's let the FACTS decide, and skip the partisan bullshit. Will you accpet facts, or will you wait to see if they came from republican sources first? Are there any ABSOLUTE facts in your world, not subject to partisan bias? Check on the 527s, the bridge to nowhere, the earmarks, the ebay jet, the tax increases, the debt left by Palin, etc., and then let us know whether or not Sarah P is a lying sack of shit. HINT: she is. But I support Obama, so I guess I don't count as a reported of known fact.

Check the google and see for yourself.

Barry gave up attacking Palin's children and now is throwing everything amd the kitchem sink at her. This is what Flop Ears means by "change".

blogs.guardian.co.uk

"2)Palin used drugs right up until 1995 (how hold is Briston now?), but that makes her a rugged individualist."

Nice try.... I would hardly consider a toke drug use in tell 1995.......

Pirate, Kilkenny sets out a narrative that, so far, appears accurate. You might have a point if anything she said can be found factually contentious.

From the Gubernatorial debate (2006):

'Palin said she has smoked marijuana -- remember, it was legal under state law, she said, even if illegal under U.S. law -- but says she didn't like it and doesn't smoke it now.

"I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled."'

Good thing, Alaska's pot laws were thrown out in 1990. If she had no problem breaking the laws of the United States, what makes you think she has a problem with breaking Alaska's laws?

I have to give her this much, she's not as big a hypocrite on this one issue as Bush is.

FWTHOM

Is it necessary to be a liar?

The ONLY thing Obama's said about Palin's kids is that they should be off limits to the press and he'd fire anyone in his campaign that used them.

You rethugs are liars.

"2)Palin used drugs right up until 1995 ..." isn't in the article to which I linked. Since you apparently can't figure that one out:

The Anchorage Daily News reported on August 6, 2006, during Palin's gubernatorial run:

Palin said she has smoked marijuana -- remember, it was legal under state law, she said, even if illegal under U.S. law -- but says she didn't like it and doesn't smoke it now.
"I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled."

No word if she got stoned and enjoyed some caribou jerky snacks to satisfy those munchies.

"I would hardly consider..."

What you "consider" is irrelevent. You asked, and I quote: "Still waiting to hear the source of the Palin drug use."

Barry said that the only experience he ever had at running anything was "running his own campaign" and yet he doesn't take resposibility for his own campaign bloggers who routinely attack Palin's kids.

"Campaign bloggers"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Liar

McCain's the one offering points to blog and say pro-Mccain things.

Yav,

There's a lot of opinion in there as well.

Facts can be spun. Her whole point is to paint Palin in a negative light. Palin has supposedly hated her for over 10 years so there's animosity between them. This is not an unbiased piece.

Everybody should take it with a grain of salt.

And I'm probably not going to vote for McCain/Palin either.

I'm fine with Palin smoking dope. It's the hypocrisy the drug issue is met with I'm opposed to.

At the time Gidget was enjoying weed, Rush Limbaugh thought she should be locked up. One of the questions I'd like to ask Palin is what she wants to do with dope smokers.

OK, Pirate.

I get really riled up about Civil Rights and abuse of our Constitution.

The "deal breaker" (for me) was Palin's actions against the Wasilla Librarian.

....In my dreams. Sarah will run like a little doggie from that one.

I'm with YAV, if Gidget can't be trusted alone with the librarian I don't want her in Washington.

Yav,

If you get so riled up about Civil Rights like you claim, then you must be against "affirmative action" which puts one group of citizens above another.

Or are you lyimg as usual.

As an actual Wasilla resident.. and probably the only one that visits this site... I can vouch that what is said about the debt incurred is true... but it happened in typical republican fashion... borrow and spend... leaving it to the next politician to create a tax to pay for it... then the republicans can bitch about it.

Now what is 22 milliion divided by 9000? Lets look at this... in Wasilla... there is only a 3% sales tax, no state tax... no income tax... so the rest falls on home owners... and ahem... small businesses... and ummmm oh yeah earmarks from the lower 48

At lease with tax an spend you are dealing with real money in the present tense....that is of course once you get past paying off the debt left by the pugs.

BTW you assholes... right wing shit heads in particular... if you think anyone from Alaska really has any concept of cutting taxes you need your head examined. We Alaskans left and right laugh all the way to the bank. In a week we.. every man woman and child... are getting $3,200 just because we live here.

Native Alaskans also have one of the best federally subsidized health care systems in the nation...

... yet you righty tightys think Sarah Palin has a clue about how to operate with out plugging into the taxpayers pocket even though as an Alaskan it is impossible for her to have ever done that. That is how fucking gullible you are. That is why all anyone has to do is use God and Jesus in a sentance... and you will let them run the country into bankruptcy and do the happy dance when they give you a... $600 rebate.

Sarah Palin caters to the carpet baggers that run the state and don't think she doesn't.

BTW that sports complex is almost always empty... and has to be heated in the winter.

But you think it is campy.. that we eat moose. Stupid people

Just curious, THOM---In regards to that librarian, woulf YOU have fired her?

ZED,

I don't know the story yet. It's hard to keep up with all the Palin hit pieces out there. I'm still laughing at all the hit pieces that Barry put out there on Palin's kids.

If you get so riled up about Civil Rights like you claim, then you must be against "affirmative action" which puts one group of citizens above another.

Not well versed in National and Constitutional history, are you?

Carry on with the "lying as usual" charge against me.

Searching the internet for information about Palin, I've run across people stating good things and bad things. I ran across this:

at least she's not taking cash from a Saudi millionaire with ties to the Black Panthers.

"CNN has reported that most people sing Palins praises and Kilkenny is one of her few critics. Wasilla substitute teacher Anne Kilkenny compared the atmosphere surrounding Palin to a popularity contest."

I found the informal manner in which she ran City Council meetings had the flavor of turning city business into a fan club,-- said Kilkenny, a registered Democrat who moved to Wasilla from Seattle, Washington, in 1981."

THIS person actually lived in the same community and had known her.

The Swiftboat a-holes were nowhere near Kerry when he gunned down the Vietcong about to blow up his boat.

at least she's not taking cash from a Saudi millionaire with ties to the Black Panthers.

Aww. Now go whine about how unfair everyone is to Palin.

"THIS person actually lived in the same community and had known her."

"Palin Rumors"

"yes, she did ask the librarian if some books could be withdrawn because of being offensive; no, they couldnt; yes she did threaten to fire the librarian a month later; no, that wasnt over the books thing but instead over administrative issues; no, the librarian wasnt fired either; yes, the librarian was a big supporter of one of her political opponents; yes, the librarian was also the girlfriend of the Chief of police mentioned above; no, this is not the first time in the history of civilization that someone has been threatened with being fired over a political dispute"

"yes, the librarian was a big supporter of one of her political opponents; yes, the librarian was also the girlfriend of the Chief of police"

Nothing like tiny hick town politics.

Ooooo, a blog on the Internet. Now THAT'S a real "source." [/snark]

"explorations.chasrmartin.com"

Charlie Martin is a Colorado computer scientist and nearly-successful screenwriter who contributes to the Flares Into Darkness political blog as Seneca the Younger, and blogs under his own name at the aggressively non-political Explorations blog.

A "nearly-successful screenwriter." LOL!

There's an old joke in the music biz:

"I'm negotiating a record deal with Sony....

I want to sign, and they don't want me to"

She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million.

Pure Bushenomics.

But the author failed to mention that Palin, riding a polar bear and leading the Alaska national Guard, captured Saddam and brought down the 9-11 plane in Pennsylvania.
Don't believe me? Ask John McSame. She even paid for the Iraqi adventure with the profit from selling Alaska One.

After reading the note by "Anne Kilkenny" I decided to check the local newspaper. What I found is that Kilkenny writes a column called "Spectrum" every so often in the Frontier - the local news paper.

Republican compassion is missing in action. They promised us budgets leaner, but gave us only cuts meaner. For helping us they're not keener, nor for anything that's greener. The seniors' longevity bonus was gutted, and our roads are potholed and rutted. Roads are not timely snow plowed, but Murky using the state ferry like a private yacht is allowed. Burma Shave.

Health insurance, legislators have got, and a retirement that's a lot, while one out of three Alaskans have naught. Legislators eat from the pot, but tell the rest of us, "Not." Doesn't that make you hot? Burma Shave.

Anne Kilkenny never got an A on a school writing assignment, can you tell? She lives in Wasilla and will vote for a change.

A Spectrum, by Anne Kilkenny

I was impressed with Vic Kohring when he first went down to Juneau eight years ago. I even sent him an admiring and complimentary Christmas card one year.
I was very impressed with the handwritten notes Vic sent in reply to my messages. Occasionally, he even called me, which was very flattering. But then I had a very disheartening experience.

Late one evening Rep Kohring called to thank me for writing, and to tell me that he would keep my opinions in mind as he worked on legislation. I asked him if he was surprised by my opinion.

Silence.

Then he said, "Uh, tell me again what you wrote about." I couldn't help but think to myself what was it he was going to keep in mind when he was working on legislation when he couldn't even recall the subject I had written about?

Vic was starting to sound like a typical politician.

What a disappointment.

I started to notice that Rep. Kohring went to great lengths to acknowledge constituent mail, but did not do much else.

Vic asked how I've been; I've been disappointed.

I am now totally disillusioned with Vic Kohring.

Count me one vote for Peter Burchell.

Anne Kilkenny is a Wasilla resident.

(Vic Kohring is a Republican) So..a disgruntled attention starved house wife hack liberal writer who has visions of self importance and when that self important ego is not stoked lashes out on those that will not pay her any attention. Probably Palin dismissed her during some PTA meeting.

By the way ....do none of you care HOW OBAMA funded going to Harvard...there have been several posts on that topic and none of you responded.

Seems having someone in the pockets of the Saudi's in the Presidents chair would make some of you uncomfortable. But I guess when it comes to Dems - Party before Country is your motto.

"She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. "

And that with a population of 6,000 when she was Mayor. Extrapolate that to 300 million in the U.S., you come up with a debt of about 1 trillion.

Sounds like a perfect Republican to me.

Unless you've got something substantial to back that up you're just slinging feces, as usual.

Sarah Palin has a handsome and faithful husband, a loving family, and a career --- everything that a feminist wanted for (the 'you can have it all' thing) --- and yet the radical feminists are mad and getting both hysterical and hypocritical. Because they are jealous, and because Sarah Palin is a different kind of feminist. Not the always angry feminist kind.

Sarah is an achiever. You go girl!

"Sarah is an achiever. You go girl!"

Your Messiah is a bitch.

My Messiah is Jesus Christ and Sarah has acknowledged Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

As for Obama, he said of himself: we were the ones we've been waiting for.... sounds like arrogance to me. When he gets humility and experience, I believe he will rise and achieve some great things in future. Until then, God resists the proud, and 'pride goeth before a fall' --- straight from the good book.

"My Messiah is Jesus Christ and Sarah has acknowledged Jesus as her Lord and Savior."

Why do you refer to her as "Sarah"? Do you know her personally? Does she just have a first name, like Madonna?

Nullifidian-
re: Why do you refer to her as "Sarah"?

Because it's a cult.

Takeitez-
"As for Obama, he said of himself: we were the ones we've been waiting for.... sounds like arrogance to me."

He's referring to the crowd, and those in the audience, and everyone who should stand up and work for change instead of waiting for a top-down solution, idiot.

instead of waiting for a top-down solution

They've gotten so used to being told that trickle down policy will lead them to the land of milk and honey for the last 28 years. It really doesn't bother them to get pissed on any more.

Takeitez-
"As for Obama, he said of himself: we were the ones we've been waiting for.... sounds like arrogance to me."

Maria Shriver (Kennedy) quoted that Mayan saying at the rally at L.A. Colosseum just before the California primary - Obama did not say that of himself.

Since you obviously missed that on TV thought I'd clue you in.

I live in the land of milk and honey.

I live in a land where even the poor are overweight, have tv, refrigerator, electricity, running water, microwave, and means of transportation.

But I understand some people will never be pleased no matter what and have no life --- or their life is simply to whine whine whine and whine.

Actually Takeitez, if by that you mean we Americans are very well off materially compared to the rest of the world, I agree. The poverty of America is in Her soul, not in Her bank account.

TakeitEZ-
You are whining about it on a blog at 2 am.

TakeitEZ-
I wanted to ask you about something you said earlier. You've claimed that Obama was speaking of himself - and I guess his family since he used the plural "we" - when he stated that "we are the people we've been waiting for", when it's obvious to anyone that he intended it as an exhortation to the audience. So my question is, are you really that stupid?

LOL. Betel, as a general rule it is dangerous to underestimate the stupidity of right wingers. But actually I believe he was more being snarky than stupid.

Moder8-
You're an optimist! We need more of those.

"...the stupidity of right wingers."

Like takeitez claiming God has chosen McCain to be president:

Truthsetyoufree-

I'm more in the "truthpissyouoff" camp at the moment, but I have a few years to go. Still, score one for the 'TakeitEZ is simply an idiot' team, much to the chagrin of the Optimists. Either one will have to face the Cynics in the playoff, however...

I never know what to make of TakeItEZ. I kind of think he is a self parody. But if so, he never cracks the proverbial smile. Maybe he is sincere in his posts. For his sake (and those who live with him) I hope not.

Moder8-
I've been disappointed many times on the 'surely no one could be such an ignorant fucktard' hope, but it's a world of possibility and promise and joy.

Late at night with virtually nobody watching, can I ask you a question. Why do you change your handle every year or so? What is the benefit?

Moder8-
No benefit. One of the things I've liked about this blog is the free form and the anonymity. Some handles I've used just for fun, while keeping my usual handle (it's been years since I've done that), but there were a couple of times when I changed because I had actual stalkers who liked to talk about my personal life (sex life, wife, etc) in an incredibly abusive way and I fooled myself into thinking I could change my handle and ditch them. It worked for a while, but it didn't last. Once I changed my handle because I got sucked in to the personal sniping and found myself being (almost) as nasty as those whom I sought to avoid. My most recent change, which was quite some time ago, was an effort to approach this blog in a different way. I never looked at this blog as anything but a fun way to vent, but even within that I had certain standards that others violated in a very vicious manner (personal attacks regarding family, race, sex, etc.). In short, it's not my day job, but I like the blog. You'll find many on here with a deep and abiding hatred of "me", which would be laughable if they didn't take it so seriously. Many of the virtual people who take such offense at my handles have changed names several times, though they would never admit it.

Anyway, you asked an honest question, and there's an honest rambling answer.

Bravo, Betleg.

Good answer. don't let the rightwing assholes drag you down.

My take is that he was imploring his supporters (with his leadership) to take back America. Perhaps a bit of arrogance, but that's par for the course with Obama - it's seemingly all about him and his situation.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the
United States of America."

We are the ones we have been waiting for. Not McCain, not the GOP, not the Obama, not the new Savoir Sarah. The wait is over if We the People will take the power that is rightfully ours.

It is an empowering statement. When Obama says that, it's an admission that it is not him, and can't be just him. It is everyone.

That is the opposite of arrogance.

"She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million,"

This ought to really appeal to the, uhh, "conservatives" who voted for Bush the 2nd time.

A democratic blog posting all about republicans, yep, that will do just fine.

thanks for gettin my name out there, keeping my poll numbers raising.

Sarah

SULLY---You can beat those people over the head with the issue of debt until their brains leak out but it won't matter to them. They ceased to give a damn years ago. What matters now is Sarah. SARAH-SARAH-SARAH.

And if all it takes to keep Gidget's poll numbers rising is to examine all the apparently true very bad things about her, then we're doomed as a nation.

I think when Obama said the line, he had himself in mind to deliver the 'we' in a messianic tone.

I find that Moder8 and Betelg are good at insulting others and based on that think they are intellectually superior --- another 'we' for these two folks.

******************************

Another one 'truthsetyoufree' quoted me out there by bringing the link.... I said "Go figure".

OK, folks, listen here: I just told you in advance: (I am not wishing this on Obama and intend not to delight in it, but) Very soon Obama will face an EMBARASSING MOMENT --- the good Lord just showed me.

(Again, I've told you in advance! You be the judge!).

"And when we tell you we're going to change Washington, and stop leaving our country's problems for some unluckier generation to fix, you can count on it." - John McCain RNC speech just delivered.

"We are the change you have been waiting for" is a bit more arrogant, don't you think?

At this point in time, we are dealing with a woman who will not do interviews, will not share where she stands on the economy, Iraq, health reform and so on. We no nothing about her except she is Governor of Alaska and has been parading her family around like sheep for votes and sympathy. If you think the women of this country who were going to vote for Hillary are now going to turn around and vote for Sarah, you are very much mistaken. She is prolife and has good ole boy Republican views. She is NO Hillary Clinton. You can take that two ways if you want, but that is your choice. I am very concerned about ALL the candidates running actually and at this point, NONE of them have my vote. They have 8 weeks to done one of two things...dig their graves deeper politically, or show the American people what they are REALLY made of, because right now, they are all chop liver.

"You can beat those people over the head with the issue of debt until their brains leak out but it won't matter to them."

Yeah, its pretty sad that people who claim to be conservatives advocate deadbeat fiscal policies. The GOP has become a free spending, big government, in your personal business party and I have no idea why anyone who claims to be conservative would support it. The DNC annoys the hell out of me but I'd have to say they are more conservative these days.

I guess Anne Kilkenny is part of the twenty percent. But by all means, that's no reason to make her a national cause celebre among the left-wing blogosphere. After all, if anyone--ANYONE--has anything negative to say about the VP candidate who gets 80+% approval ratings in her own state, and who has managed to turn the presidential election into a real horse race, we need to bring this person on! Obviously, she's someone we need to listen to!

Anne Kilkenny! You go girl! A lot of lefties are counting on you!

What is funny for some folks here on the DR is that they are flummoxed and getting the vapors when other folks refer to Sarah Palin as just Sarah.

No one complained or thought it unusual to refer to Hillary as just Hillary.

But now suddenly--folks are perturbed that folks refer to Sarah as just Sarah.

Murphy---Everyone has utmost respect for Sarah Connor attempting to save her son from the Termin...Oh, sorry...Wrong fiction script.

Isn't it interesting the number of times Palin has passed by her chance to be the hero?

"Book-banning..."

Sorry. I thought Palin's ban of the letter "K" was still in effect.

"What is really weird is that folks here on the DR referred to Hillary Clinton as just Hillary."

I didn't, but I can understand making it clear that they weren't referring to Bill Clinton. There's no need to make that distinction for the Mooseville Messiah.

And now - Obama not in the pocket of the Saudi's?

Youtube.

Hey, did you see the youtube of Bristol interviewing her dad when Sarah won the mayoral race?

(apologies Rogers)

Foshaffer-
Need I post the multiple photo's of "W" literally holding hands with Saudi Prince Abdullah on multiple occasions?

Nah. Here's video instead:

With all due respect. In Ms. Kilkenny's full statement, she mentions that "Ms. Palen" hates her. Makes you wonder if the feeling is mutual and if this entire letter is revenge against someone she is jealous of and/or hates. Ms. Palen is one of if not the highest rated governor in the country by those in her state. I believe that says more for her ability to represent the people than one woman's vindictive letter.

"One woman's vindictive letter...."

If that were all there was to it, you'd have a point.

Palin is a bully and a liar. There's no point giving her a pass on these traits unless you want a Republican win so much that bullying and lying are fine with you.

Now, that really wouldn't suprise me that much. George W. Bush is also a bully and a liar. Apparently not a lot of shit rolled down on you from the last eight years, but a few of us out here are looking for a respite.

Who needs a wimp in the White House... not me!!!

. . . and, Barack Obama is also a bully and a liar. And Joe Biden is also a bully and a liar. And Mother Goose is also a bully and a liar.
This is fun! We can all be douchebags!

Palin lied, and continues to lie, about her behavior in regards to the Bridge to Nowhere.

Palin bullied a city librarian for not supporting her candidacy and for not banning certain books.

Yes, you're right---This is fun.

Hate to burst your bubble, Zed. The book banning?

Back in 1996, when she first became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so.

According to news coverage at the time, the librarian said she would definitely not be all right with it. A few months later, the librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, got a letter from Palin telling her she was going to be fired. The censorship issue was not mentioned as a reason for the firing. The letter just said the new mayor felt Emmons didnt fully support her and had to go.

Emmons had been city librarian for seven years and was well liked. After a wave of public support for her, Palin relented and let Emmons keep her job.

It all happened 12 years ago and the controversy long ago disappeared into musty files. Until this week. Under intense national scrutiny, the issue has returned to dog her. It has been mentioned in news stories in Time Magazine and The New York Times and is spreading like a virus through the blogosphere.

The stories are all suggestive, but facts are hard to come by. Did Palin actually ban books at the Wasilla Public Library?

Were any books censored banned? June Pinell-Stephens, chairwoman of the Alaska Library Associations Intellectual Freedom Committee since 1984, checked her files Wednesday and came up empty-handed.

Pinell-Stephens also had no record of any phone conversations with Emmons about the issue back then. Emmons was president of the Alaska Library Association at the time.

If you read the Anchorage Daily News article, towards the bottom, you find that Palin requested the resignations not only of the librarian, but of several other township officials. Why? Because they were political appointees who openly supported her political opponent. Palin requested the resignations a few days BEFORE she assumed office, apparently for political reasons, as would be routine in ALL such situations, including in the very small town of Washington, DC. [Didnt some no-name politician fire all of the US Attorneys?] Frankly, its far more remarkable (and shows a great deal of tolerance) for Palin to have KEPT Emmons in office. And youd think people would consider the source when Emmons claims Palin wanted to ban books.--

"The letter just said the new mayor felt Emmons didn't fully support her and had to go....."

That sounds like one of those character defining moments to me. "Bully" seems an appropriate term for Palin. You have a different adjective?

"Sarah Palin asked her if she would be alright with censoring library books...."

I think we live on different planets if it doesn't bother you Palin would even go there.

You mean if she was accused of it right??? you appear to only be interested in the seriousness of the charge Zed.

The Times article"

[Former Wasilla mayor] Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times.She asked the library how she could go about banning books,-- he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. The librarian was aghast.-- The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldnt be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving full support-- to the mayor.

One library site stated the following:

Usually Im just happy to see libraries even mentioned in national level politics, but not like this. Mary Ellen Baker resigned from her library director job in 1999.

note: theres some buzz being generated that says that this post contains a comment that lists the books that Palin supposedly wanted banned. The list is here, but there appears to be no truth to the claim made by the commenter, and no further documentation or support for this has turned up.

you appear to only be interested in the seriousness of the charge Zed.

He's not. Nor am I the only other person. It's on the News, it's all over the blogs.

I'm noticing that rumours are running rampart without digging for the truth. Seperating truth from rumour is important. Or should be if you have any integrity.

Hey, did you see the youtube of Bristol interviewing her dad when Sarah won the mayoral race?

yeah, Youtube...real news. Just ask buffalobob

It's on the News, it's all over the blogs.

so are bigfoot sightings and fake moon landings and 9-11 conspiracy shit.

I'll wait till it is confirmed.

It is alleged that Sarah Palin actually has 20/20 vision and she wears those glasses to manipulate people.

You have to love the desperation of the left.

its alleged she is a stupid bitch but we will wait until the debates to see it proven correct.

you forgot hypocrite..most republicans are.

You libs are too fucking much. BHO has admitted to snorting coke:

"I had learned not to care," he wrote. "I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though. ..."

His words, not mine. this guy has been so un-reported by the press it's mind-boggling. This stuff is out there, yet you guys are searching for any little snippet on McCain/Obama. It's hilarious to watch you libs shitting your pants.

Legio, you really have gone off the deep end, haven't you? You are not only desperate - you are going insane with rage.

another retard. there is nothing BUT hypocrisy in politics.

Just read that MSNBC has fired Olbermann and Mathews!!! Best news ever! I guess Mathews won't be getting any more "tingly" feelings up his leg. LMFAO!!!!!

I think you got a little carried away there, Sparky.

Okay not fired, just "removed from the anchor chair". Sorry, I was giddy that this hack(Olbermann) had been demoted. It's too bad cause I loved him on Sportscenter.

promoted perhaps?

Talking about the Israel Lobby with Brig. Gen. James David. The Lobby's power blocked President Carter from speaking at the Democratic National Convention

Upto the DNC convention, most pundits thought Obama 'the rock star' would win the Presidency. McCain was way behind in polls and the enthusiasm gap in his camp was noticeable.

Even then, I have issued advice for Obama: when you lose, exit gracefully and come back eight years later --- it could be your turn by then.

(Now recent polls indicate McCain has finally risen slightly ahead of Obama.)

Fired? If true, maybe because Mathews and Olbermann could not land an interview with Palin.

I laughed my ass off when this Dingbat Kilkenny posted this crap on her own blog.

She "proved" how much she "knew" Sarah and how ACCIRATE her descriptions of Sarah were when she stated that "Sahrah's child is actually her Grandchild".

For someone who supposedly knows Sarah so well, how could she NOT know that her child was HER child and not her Daughter's?

Of course all of the restatements of her Blog contents, just like this one here, manage to LEAVE THAT STATEMENT OUT, since it shows that Kilkenny really IS a DINGBAT who obviously is resentful of Sarah's success.
Also, she got how Sarah got her nickname wrong as well. She got it because of how she payed basketball, to win, not how she got on the team.

So all of you Messiah worshippers can sit there with your heart all aflutter thinking you now have the inside story on Sarah... but you DON'T... you have the ravings of a lunatic.

Also, those who have the ability to think....
If this Dingbat really was one of Sarah's neighbors, HOW WOULD SHE get the lowdown on Sarah's negotiations as Governor with the Oil Companies?

Those types of things are not discussed with causual friends back in the hometown. Perhaps she may have spoken to her husband about them but why woukd she discuss them with a shrew like Kilkenny?

Even a moron would realize that this Kilkenny woman would not have access to that type of information.

Thank goodness our current lame-duck-in-charge never touched the stuff. We would REALLY be in trouble then!.....oh, he did? Never mind.

OK, folks, listen here: I just told you in advance: (I am not wishing this on Obama and intend not to delight in it, but) Very soon Obama will face an EMBARASSING MOMENT --- the good Lord just showed me.

(Again, I've told you in advance! You be the judge!).

Even though his handlers have advised him repeatedly not to have Mexican food right before an interview?

>Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton
>have only 2 things in common: their gender
>and their good looks. :)

Now why the fuck would anyone even SAY this and expect anyone to read any further?

Although Hillary is POSSIBLY a woman, does ANYONE really consider her good looking? EW.

Legio, you really have gone off the deep end, haven't you? You are not only desperate - you are going insane with rage.

I visualize Sarah finally being asked the reportorial question about her - er - fling with her hubby's business partner. She will stick out her boobs and respond:

"I did not have sex with that man."

Right! herm
