http://www.andrewhalcro.com/palins_ms_pac-man_hard_to_swallow (1/29/09) My Inbox has been abuzz over the last twenty four hours since Governor Sarah Palin announced the formation of her own political action committee (PAC) named sarahpac.
Who were the senders?
Angry lawmakers who say that Palin is taking false credit on her self congratulatory PAC website, claiming accomplishments that she had little or nothing to do with. However Palin's overreach shouldn't surprise anyone.
After all this is a person who stood in front of 70 million Americans and said she was building the "$40 billion dollar natural gas pipeline." She continued to repeat the lie on the campaign trail, even though when she first said it back in August at a press conference, her Revenue Commissioner grabbed her arm and corrected her.
This is also the person who quickly forgot that in 2006, not only did she support the Ketchikan Bridge, but she advocated that we build it sooner rather than later so we could take advantage of federal funds brought home by former Senator Ted Stevens. But yet went on to tell Americans she said "thanks, but no thanks."
Still, lawmakers who have done the heavy lifting on the issues that Palin is now taking credit for are burning. On the site (www.sarahpac.com) a page lists Palin's supposed accomplishments.
"Under her leadership as Governor, Alaska has invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding, and implemented the Senior Benefits Program that provides support for low-income older Alaskans," the narrative boasts.
However Palin had very little if anything to do with any of these issues.
<snip> - much more.
I'm happy to see that the legislators are getting tired of her bullshit. :)
