So all of Palin's BS 'I'm leaving' press conference
was to try to cover up the real ethics problem - 'them there donations to the legal fund'.

How's the packing going queen of the grifters?

26. I think you're right, BOSSHOG.
I think there are many more shoes. I think once she's out of office and people are free to talk, we're going to be hearing a LOT about shoes.

2. Those Nieman Marcus clothes were gifts, plus she didn't want them,
and they were going to be given away, and also....


So, I want to know when will the IRS take an interest in the moose-hunting grifter clan?

3. but the fund is there to pay off some other problem ....
.... I am willing to bet it is her home that was built when the Wasilla Hockey Rink was built
and nobody has any receipts for the materials on her house and the labor was just Tawd
and his friends.

15. Oh yeah....their gosh-darn house.
Betcha it's just a co-inki-dink that the windows and siding match the Wasilla hockey rink-a-dink.
Doncha know!
Sarah McWolfKiller....you are soooo busted, by golly. ;)

24. A guy from the Village Voice nailed it last fall
So what are the materials for a log frame house doing on the bill of lading for a metal frame
building?


BTW I read someplace that a contractor in Alaska wrote that the "window of time" for building is short in
Alaska the idea that Todd and his friends put it (the lake house) is pure b.s..

4. yeah...pretty much anything she says ever....
is an excuse for the shit that's about to hit the fan.

Not that I want anything good to happen to Palin, ever, but she really needs to get a better PR company cause the one that's been advising her the past year are idiots.

8. I'm getting up off the floor
Just like John McCain failed to adequately investigate Sarah Palin's qualifications for the office of Vice President, Sarah Palin failed to investigate the Scientology duo of Van Susteren and Coale that wanted to ride on Palin's coattails to increased fame and fortune. Palin would have benefited from exercising sound judgment and obtaining advice from several qualified Alaskan lawyers.

That was too good. :rofl: :popcorn:

16. it's really unbelievable. it really appears to be hitting the fan.
Edited on Wed Jul-22-09 03:17 PM by spanone
she set up a pac and used it like her personal bank account? sounds like it.....oooooh baby baby


There is no Alaskan law that allows the Governor to use her position as a means of collecting private donations for her personal use, even to fight ethics complaints.

you think that would say ESPECIALLY to fight ethics complaints.....:shrug: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

20. Bro the soon to be ex-governor knows zippo about the
rules of anything - she is the queen of the grifters and she appears to be proud of her breathtaking ignorance. It's seriously hilarious...can anyone be this stupid or this corrupt? :rofl: :rofl:

28. I think she thought she could use campaign funds
or something to pay legal bills much like our Representative Don Young has used over a million dollars of campaign contributions for his legal fees. What she forgot is that Alaska law is different than federal law, and our state statutes specifically prohibit what she was trying to do. We knew this was going to come back to bite her when it first was set up.

11. You gotta give her credit
she never fails to amaze you. Just when you think she can't do anything any dumber - whoops, there she goes again.

13. She would have likely remained safe if she had been content to remain the big...
fish in a small pond. Her overweening ambition attracted a very bright light on her corrupt misdeeds.
I guess she never studied the concept of hubris in sportscaster school.

21. Profound mitchum
but she studied nothing. I'm betting that she'll end up in a prison somewhere.

17. Maybe she needs to take the family on a two week vacation to Europe?
That seems to be her fellow Republican small-state governor's method of choice to deal with inconvenient questions.

25. I suspect the missus will keep an eagle eye on Mr. Sanford
If he lingers too long in a restroom, she'll be sending the gendarmes in to check on him.
