Her Star Fading Fast, Palin CANCELS CPAC Appearance

In a move that has stunned her radical right wing, pro life conservative wing nut supporters, Sarah Palin of fleeting fame has dropped out of CPAC, will not be making her promised appearance at the event...probably out of fear she would not have placed well in the straw poll contest to pick a 2012 Presidential nominee for the Republican Ticket. The political whack job from Alaska of Troopergate Shame who has ZERO CHANCE at a successful White House run, and who may have seen her last win in a major political race when she became governor has seen her political stock tumble since Americans saw THE TRUE PALIN when she was McCain's running mate this past fall. Fake values, poor job of raising children who are now having children out of wedlock themselves, and putting her job before her downs syndrome child make her a poor choice as a role model, but the rabid religious right desparate for any one that can keep their radical agenda in the news have been propping the Radical Pentacostal woman up, doing everything in their power to keep her fleeting fame alive...this stunning cancellation may be the beginning of the end for the Sarah Palin show and the sooner she goes back to eating Moose meat off of paper plates, the better off we here in the main body of America will be.

Palin won't be making CPAC appearance

Posted: 06:47 PM ET

From CNN Associate Political Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand

Palin will not be attending this year’s CPAC, confirm organizers.

(CNN) — Sarah Palin will not be attending the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington later this month, her office confirmed to CNN Tuesday.

The Alaska governor had been expected to serve as the headline attraction at the three day event, which is also scheduled to include conservative icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter. The presidential straw poll conducted at the annual Washington gathering is widely viewed as a reliable bellwether of conservative support. Several of the GOP’s past — and potentially future — presidential hopefuls are also slated to address the gathering, including Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

Sarah Palin, No Class, But BIG BALLS

Sarah Palin in another example of the woman having NO CLASS, but balls the size of a bull elephant has written President Obama asking for his help in saving her pork barrel natural gas pipeline. Hopefully that letter ended up where it belonged...in the shitter. Sorry Mx. Palin, but a bitch like you deserves NO SPECIAL FAVORS from the White House. If you want to prattle on at the unfairness of BLOGGERS LIKE ME constantly attacking a sweet little innocent Alaskan woman like yourself, knock yourself out.

Palin presses Obama on pipeline

Posted: 07:31 PM ET

In a letter to the president, the former vice presidential candidate urges Obama to discuss the construction of an Alaska natural gas pipeline when he sits down with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

(CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made a special appeal to President Obama Friday, asking him to keep her state in mind when he travels to Canada in two weeks.

In a letter to the president, the former vice presidential candidate urges Obama to discuss the construction of an Alaska natural gas pipeline when he sits down with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“Alaskans have appreciated your strong support for the construction of such a pipeline," Palin wrote. "This project is now moving forward, and I believe that a discussion between you and Prime Minister Harper would greatly facilitate the process now under way.”

The pipeline, currently in planning stages, could reportedly generate thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue for the state. Obama expressed support for the project during the campaign.

Did Sarah Palin Vote For Barack Obama?

On election day reports always hoover around looking for a shot of the MAJOR players voting, hoping they will get to ask a question of two. Well, that scene unfolded in Wasilla Alaska, and we may have just witnessed the WEIRDEST Sarah Palin moment, one that makes you ask, "Did Sarah vote for Barack Obama?" Seriously, when a reporter asked the perfunctory question, "Who did you vote for?" Sarah Palin said she was exercising her right to PRIVACY! NOW THAT IS WEIRD!

Palin Calls On Stevens To Do Right Thing...Win n November, Then Resign So I Can Put Another Republican In Your Place

The press seems surprised that Sarah Palin has not spelled out just what she meant in telling Senator Stevens to do the right thing. Come on, we all know what the right thing is! She wants him to stay in the race, and if by some miracle he gets re-elected, she wants him to resign after its official so she can name a Republican to replace him for his term, rather than having him removed through a ugly Senate Procedure when the 111th Congress comes to power in January and Democrats have a 60 seat majority. (In unrelated news...just watched Campbell Brown on "The Daily Show", and officially pronounce her to be a HOTTIE!")

Palin: 'Do the right thing'

Posted: Monday, October 27, 2008 6:38 PM by Mark Murray
Filed Under: Courts, Republicans, 2008, Palin

From NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger
ROANOKE, Va. -- Calling it a sad day for her state, Palin today called on Sen. Ted Stevens (R) to "do the right thing," after the Alaska senator was convicted in his federal corruption trial.

After waiting more than an hour for Palin to emerge from an airport lounge and board her plane at the Richmond airport, a podium was set up in the rain. The governor disembarked from the bus and gave brief remarks, ignoring questions.

"The verdict shines a light though on the corrupting influence of the big oil service company up there in Alaska that was allowed to control too much of our state," she said. "And that control was part of the culture of corruption that I was elected to fight. And that fight must always move forward regardless of party affiliation or seniority or even past service.

Palin said she would monitor the situation and would "take any appropriate action as needed." She called on Alaskans to respect the workings of the judicial system. "And I'm confident that Sen. Stevens, from this point on, will do the right thing for the state of Alaska," she said.

With Stevens on the ballot next week, the remaining question is whether Palin will vote for him, or has already done so by absentee ballot, which she suggested earlier this month might be how she casts her vote.

Palin ignored repeated questions on whether she would vote for Stevens as she boarded the plane.

Some Advice To Alaskan's...Your State Needs To Elect Obama

Mean Spirited, vindictive Diva Bitch-Sarah Palin

Alaska's largest paper has come out in support of, endorsed the Obama/Biden ticket for the Presidency of the United States of America. Alaskan's need to heed the unwritten advice in this endorsement. Simply stated, it is in the best interests of Alaskan's to side with the winner in this particular election.

Like it or not, Sarah Palin has offended a whole lot of people, including many in her own party. She is distained by almost every Democrat. Fact of the matter is, Democrats are about to have a HUGE election success, strengthening their majority in both the Senate and House, and taking over the White House. Alaska more than any other state is dependent on Federal Aid to basically stay afloat financially, needs Federal Aid to move almost any major infrastructure project forward. How anxious is a Democratically controlled House and Senate going to be when it comes to sending money to Alaska if Alaskan's insist on voting for Palin the Pariah?

Like it or not the reality is simple...Alaskan's cannot afford to be on the wrong side of this Presidential vote.

THE ENDORSEMENT

Alaska enters its 50th-anniversary year in the glow of an improbable and highly memorable event: the nomination of Governor Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate. For the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office, and in doing so she brings broad attention and recognition not only to herself, but also to the state she leads.

Alaska's founders were optimistic people, but even the most farsighted might have been stretched to imagine this scenario. No matter the outcome in November, this election will mark a signal moment in the history of the 49th state. Many Alaskans are proud to see their governor, and their state, so prominent on the national stage.

Governor Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Senator John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Senator McCain.

Since his early acknowledgement that economic policy is not his strong suit, Senator McCain has stumbled and fumbled badly in dealing with the accelerating crisis as it emerged. He declared that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" at 9 a.m. one day and by 11 a.m. was describing an economy in crisis. He is both a longtime advocate of less market regulation and a supporter of the huge taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout. His behavior in this crisis -- erratic is a kind description -- shows him to be ill-equipped to lead the essential effort of reining in a runaway financial system and setting an anxious nation on course to economic recovery.

Senator Obama warned regulators and the nation 19 months ago that the subprime lending crisis was a disaster in the making. Senator McCain backed tighter rules for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but didn't do much to advance that legislation. Of the two candidates, Senator Obama better understands the mortgage meltdown's root causes and has the judgment and intelligence to shape a solution, as well as the leadership to rally the country behind it. It is easy to look at Senator Obama and see a return to the smart, bipartisan economic policies of the last Democratic administration in Washington, which left the country with the momentum of growth and a budget surplus that President George Bush has squandered.

On the most important issue of the day, Senator Obama is a clear choice.

Senator McCain describes himself as a maverick, by which he seems to mean that he spent 25 years trying unsuccessfully to persuade his own party to follow his bipartisan, centrist lead. Sadly, maverick John McCain didn't show up for the campaign. Instead we have candidate McCain, who embraces the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted and cynically asks Americans to buy for another four years.

It is Senator Obama who truly promises fundamental change in Washington. You need look no further than the guilt-by-association lies and sound-bite distortions of the degenerating McCain campaign to see how readily he embraces the divisive, fear-mongering tactics of Karl Rove. And while Senator McCain points to the fragile success of the troop surge in stabilizing conditions in Iraq, it is also plain that he was fundamentally wrong about the more crucial early decisions. Contrary to his assurances, we were not greeted as liberators; it was not a short, easy war; and Americans -- not Iraqi oil -- have had to pay for it. It was Senator Obama who more clearly saw the danger ahead.

The unqualified endorsement of Senator Obama by a seasoned, respected soldier and diplomat like General Colin Powell, a Republican icon, should reassure all Americans that the Democratic candidate will pass muster as commander in chief.

On a matter of parochial interest, Senator Obama opposes the opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but so does Senator McCain. We think both are wrong, and hope a President Obama can be convinced to support environmentally responsible development of that resource.

Governor Palin has shown the country why she has been so successful in her young political career. Passionate, charismatic and indefatigable, she draws huge crowds and sows excitement in her wake. She has made it clear she's a force to be reckoned with, and you can be sure politicians and political professionals across the country have taken note. Her future, in Alaska and on the national stage, seems certain to be played out in the limelight.

Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Senator McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.

Sarah Palin Pork! Her Children Traveled 76 Times on State Tab

Apparently Sarah Palin hates pork except when it is for her, or her children...in the barely 18 months that she has been Governor of the state of Alaska, she has billed the state for her children's airline travel SEVENTY SIX TIMES! 64 one way tickets, and 12 round trip tickets. She basically forces her children onto guests lists (rather than hire a baby sitter), and then BILLS THE STATE For their airfare, meals and lodging! Oddly, she has charged the state more for her children traveling with her, than Todd...is he not GOOD ENOUGH to baby sit, or worse, does Sarah Palin not trust her children home alone with Todd Palin?

AP INVESTIGATION: Palin charged state for children's travel, later amended expense reports

By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE, ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO Associated Press Writers
ANCHORAGE, Alaska October 21, 2008 (AP)

The Associated Press

Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

More Photos

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.

Alaska law does not specifically address expenses for a governor's children. The law allows for payment of expenses for anyone conducting official state business.

Was Sarah Palin's House Built By Senator Steven's Contractor?

This is not verified, but I have just heard a rumor that Todd and Sarah's house was built by the same contractor that build Senator Steven's house...if this is true, shouldn't someone be looking into what was, or was not billed to the Palin's? Think I am being mean...keep in mind, that Sarah Palin admitted taking $25,000 in GIFTS in her first year as Governor, including FREE TRAVEL for her daughter. On another note...was it really necessary to spend thousands of tax dollars having the Coast Guard Patrol Sarah Palin's house when she went home for a two day rest? Give us a break.

New Sarah Palin Campaign Poster

Truth in the Political arena...let's see some yard signs that truly reflect the candidates and their words. As example, I mocked up this one this evening that I think fits Sarah (Moose Mouth) Palin quite well. we could have one of John McCain speaking to America from his Lazy Boy recliner, all snuggled up in a binkie while dotting wife Cindy brings him his Nestle hot chocolate and Nilla Wafers before his 9:00 PM bed time. By the way, how come we have not seen the Sarah Palin Bobble Head yet...could it be that she hasn't taken her head out of her ass long enough for someone to sculpt a good model for the product?

Racist Palin Ignores Native Alaskan's in Favor of Whites

Sarah Palin's Shoes Are Made FOR WALKING ON PEOPLE

In yet another example of Sarah Palin's hidden racism, it seems she has mostly ignored Alaskan Natives in favor of WHITES in her administration. Even worse, it seems that Palin failed to remove someone from office when he made a DEROGATORY and RACIST remark in regards to why a Native Alaskan was late for a meeting. Sure some will argue Sarah Palin is just guilty of cronism, putting all her loyal friends into jobs with good salaries, but either way you slice the loaf, it is sour dough.

McBride resigns as Palin's advisor on rural affairs (Updated)

Palin's rural adviser quits

By ANNE SUTTON
Associated Press Writer

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Gov. Sarah Palin's rural adviser resigned Monday amid criticism of the governor's record on hiring Alaska Natives.

Rhonda McBride, who is not an Alaska Native, made the announcement in an e-mail to several Native leaders, saying there need to be more Native voices in Palin's administration.

"I definitely think it would help to have an Alaska Native in this position," McBride told The Associated Press.

Many Alaska Natives have said they felt neglected when Palin, now the Republican vice presidential nominee, made appointments to her administration, including the rural adviser post.

State Sen. Al Kookesh, a Democrat, said Palin left the position unfilled her first year in office and ignored Native leaders' suggestions on the selection process.

"We were really disappointed when an Alaska Native wasn't appointed," said Kookesh, a Tlingit Indian who held the job in a previous administration.

Natives bristled early in Palin's administration when she named a white woman to a game board seat held by a Native for more than 25 years. An Athabascan Indian eventually was named to the post after protests.

Relations worsened after Palin didn't remove a game board chairman who once suggested that Alaska Natives missed a meeting because they were drinking beer, seen as insensitive since the Alaska Native community has high rates of alcohol abuse.

Alaska Natives make up about 20 percent of the population.

Palin's husband, Todd, is part Yup'ik Eskimo, and her 13-member cabinet includes two Alaska Natives.

"In all honesty, I have never felt authentic in my role," McBride wrote in her e-mail, a copy of which was obtained by the AP.

McBride, who covered rural issues as a reporter before becoming rural adviser last year, said she would return to journalism to help bring attention to Native issues.

She said her last day would be Oct. 23.

Levi Johnson (Of Palin Baby Fame) Speaks To AP

In breaking news, seems that Levi Johnson has spoken to the Associated Press against the recommendations of the McCain Campaign...on the surface, the big news is that this young man likes Barack Obama, states that the Senator seems like a nice guy....WHOOPS! This is NOT WHAT THE CAMPAIGN needs as they slide in the polls.

Once you get beyond that bombshell, your heart has to go out to this young man, and you have to ask yourselve's some serious guestions about Sarah and Todd Palin. Levi has dropped out of High School to work in the North Slope Oil Fields as he prepares to become a father. He will not be attending his senior year...WAIT A MINUTE. Sarah and Todd Palin are MILLIONAIRES! This young man is doing the right thing, is going to marry the Palin's daughter. You mean to tell me that they cannot find a way to cover things while Levi Johnson finishes High School?

Other interesting notes in the story...

1. Levi is expecting a boy.

2. We now know the name of two of his closest buddies...Ben Barber and Dane Wilson

3. Levi is an accomplished hunter.

Biased FALSE Troopergate Coverage...Palin Speaks To Alaskan Reporters on Conference Call

Went to the Anchorage Alaska News website, and talk about BIASED coverage of the news on Troopergate...on their front page, the first thing you see on the subject is a article title, "Palin: Troopergate cleared her of wrongdoing." I must have downloaded the wrong Investigative Report, as I draw completely different conclusions...but then, Sarah Palin has not even bothered TO READ THE REPORT! I've copied a part of the article below, and have also copied a transcript of Sarah Palin in her own words on Troopergate. (my comments in red) What I find interesting, is that she gave an interview to the LOCAL PRESS in a controlled conference call setting to Alaskan reporters, but kept the National Press crew away.

Palin: Troopergate report cleared her of wrongdoing

In a brief telephone interview Saturday with Alaska reporters, Gov. Sarah Palin said she did nothing wrong in the Troopergate affair and appreciates "being cleared of any legal wrongdoing or unethical activity at all." 5:48 PM

Investigator: Palin abused power

Ethics probe hits hardest at Todd, not Sarah Palin

Palin lawyer: Report is a "smear" against governor

Branchflower's report comes in $25,000 under budget

Here's a transcript:

Palin: Hey, thank you so, Meg. Thank you so much. Thank you also to our local reporters up there in Alaska. Even hearing your names make me feel like I’m right there with you at home. It’s good to get to speak with you. Let me talk a little bit about the Tasergate issue if you guys would let me and, Meg, you want me to just jump right on in there?

Stapleton: Sure governor, go ahead. (Talk about a poisonous SNAKE, this woman makes both Sarah Palin and Cindy McCain look like choir girls...wonder if she bites the heads off rats?)

Palin: OK cool.

Well, I’m very very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing … any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that. Todd did what anyone would have done given this state trooper’s very, very troubling behavior and his dangerous threats against our family. Todd did what I think any Alaskan would do. (Notice the technical way in which Sarah Palin phrases things. I was cleared of LEGAL wrongdoing...true, but she was found guilty of violating the Code of Ethics, was found to have been guilty of an Abuse of Power. Further, the investigation found the Palin family's claims about Mike Wooten being a danger to their family UNFOUNDED.)

And he, Todd did what the state’s Department of Law Web site tells anyone to do if they have a concern about a state trooper. And that’s you go to the commissioner and you express your concern. And Todd did what our personal detail asked him to do. Bob Cockrell early on as I was elected and was asked are there any threats against you, and Todd brought the concern as I did to Commissioner Monegan about the state trooper’s threats. He did what any – I think -- any rational person would do so again, nothing to apologize there with Todd’s actions and again very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing. (A rational person does not keep carrying a grudge some 18 months after the original investigation was completed, does not call someone 18 times after he is TOLD THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN CLOSED.)

(Stapleton invites the first question).

ADN: Governor, finding No.1 on the report was that you abused your power by violating state law. Do you think you did anything wrong at all in this Troopergate case?

Palin: Not at all and I’ll tell you, it, I think that you’re always going to ruffle feathers as you do what you believe is in the best interest of the people whom you are serving. In this case I knew that I had to have the right people in the right position at the right time in this cabinet to best serve Alaskans, and Walt Monegan was not the right person at the right time to meet the goals that we had set out in our administration. So no, not having done anything wrong, and again very much appreciating being cleared of any legal wrongdoing or unethical activity at all. (FALSE STATEMENT ALERT...she was found to have participated in UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR, was found to have ABUSED HER POWER.)

ADN: Have you read the whole report? (No response; Stapleton invites question from KTVA reporter). (Notice Sarah Palin's SILENCE on this question!)

KTVA-Channel 11: … The report that came out yesterday, do you think that the end result is partisan?

Palin: Yeah, I did think it did turn into a partisan circus to tell you the truth. Yes I did. You know from Day One it’s been the Personnel Board that clearly laid out in state statute there -- Personnel Board deals with any issue of question regarding a governor, a lieutenant governor or an attorney general in the state of Alaska. What this legislative investigation -- quote unquote -- turned into was a political circus.

KTUU-Channel 2: Governor, so good to hear from you. Do you approve of the way that your campaign has handled themselves here in Alaska? We’ve had a lot of people voice concerns about what they call attacks of good people in our state while you are away.

Palin: Well I haven’t heard of any attacks on good people in Alaska from our campaign. If you have specifics there, maybe I could answer specifically. But no, in John McCain’s mission here, in taking the high road, as you’re going to see too with a lot of unfair shots he has taken in this campaign with some of his opponents’ supporters, McCain and I taking the high road, being positive. I wouldn’t support nor would I condone taking shots at any good Alaskans. (John McCain and Sarah Palin taking the HIGH ROAD...now there is a laugh!)

KTUU-Channel 2: Let me answer your question since you asked for specifics.

Palin: Sure.

KTUU-Channel 2: Walt Monegan was called “rogue.” How do you feel about that?

Palin: Rogue isn’t a negative term when you consider that in a cabinet you need a team effort going forward with a governor’s agenda. And our agenda has been to find efficiencies in every department and make sure that we are serving the people of Alaska to the best of our ability given the resources that we have. And remember I fought very hard to increase funding for state troopers so that we could fill positions there and goals not being met that included not being able to recruit and retain all the state troopers that I wanted to best serve Alaska. That could be characterized I think as a cabinet member who – it’s not a negative term I think -- being rogue in terms of not meeting those goals. ( Rogue is not derogatory? I might suggest that Sarah Palin is either A) ignorant, B) a nasty vindictive bitch or C) all of the above. See dictionary meaning of Rogue and tell me it is not a NEGATIVE TERM.)

Why watch Saturday morning cartoons when you can kick back with your java and enjoy a few top drawer Sarah Palin Shorts...enjoy!

Have You Seen This Video...Palin Caught in Monehan LIE

Troopergate takes ANOTHER ODD TWIST...why isn't the National Media covering this. We all saw the news, saw that the Troopergate Investigation found Sarah Palin was guilty of Abuse of Power in trying to get her former brother-in-law fired, but had done nothing wrong in firing her Commissioner. End of story right? WRONG. Sarah Palen is lying, and there is VIDEO PROOF OF IT right on You Tube! Commissioner Monehan was partially vendicated in yesterday's ruling, but not completely, and he deserves to be. This video needs to virally RACE AROUND the internet. If you read this post, watch this video and agree, I ask you to twitter it, Digg it, link to it, even post it in your own blog. This is Sarah Palin in her own words in front of a TV camera lying on the whole entire affair.

Sarah Palin Talking With Her Foot in Her Mouth

Someone in my comments area steered me to this You Tube video...it is worth sharing with the rest of my readers.

Todd Palin NOT FIRST DUDE! He Was ALWAYS First GENTLEMAN!

In reading the investigative report that finds Sarah Palin GUILTY of Abuse of Power caused me to do some sniffing around. If you read the report, you find out that Sarah Palin and her staff DID NOT refer to Todd Palin as FIRST DUDD, but instead referred to him as first gentleman. Could it be that Sarah Palin's PR CREW came up with FIRST DUDE as a means to make him SEEM COOLER, her MORE HIP, a ruse to appeal to the younger voters? Having read the, "First Gentleman" reference I went to the state of Alaska OFFICIAL Governor's web page to get verification, and lo and behold, Todd Palin is the First Gentleman, NOT THE FIRST DUDE.

First, is Todd Palin's OWN WEB PAGE on the offical government web page:

About the First Gentleman Todd Palin Todd Palin has worked for nearly 20 years as a production operator in the oil fields on Alaska’s North Slope and is a life-long commercial fisherman in Bristol Bay. Since becoming Alaska’s First Gentleman on December 4, 2006, he has been a strong advocate for improving workforce development and vocational training in the state. Mr. Palin was born in the western Alaska town of Dillingham. His Yup'ik grandmother helped create an appreciation for Alaska’s cultural heritage and traditions, which Mr. Palin has passed down to his family.

The state’s rugged outdoors also plays an influential role in the life of the Palin family. Mr. Palin is a four-time champion of the Iron Dog – at 2,000 miles, the world’s longest, toughest snowmachine race from Wasilla to Nome to Fairbanks – and he has competed in the event each year since 1993. A community volunteer with youth sports, including coaching hockey and basketball, he also enjoys fishing, flying and spending time with his family. Mr. Palin and his wife, Governor Sarah Palin, both graduated from Wasilla High School and married in 1988 after college. The Palins have five children, Track, Willow, Bristol, Piper and Trig. Their son, Track, enlisted in the U.S. Army on Sept. 11, 2007.

I then delved further into the OFFCIAL site, and found further references to Todd Palin as the First Gentleman:

2008 First Ladies Luncheon	2008 First Ladies Luncheon
First Gentleman Todd Palin presents a photographic montage of the Alaskan Governor’s Mansion to Former First Lady Neva Egan at the August 2, 2008 Luncheon in Juneau, Alaska along with Former First Ladies Ermalee Hickel, Bella Hammond, Susan Knowles and Nancy Murkowski.	(front left to right) Former First Ladies Susan Knowles, Ermalee Hickel, Neva Egan, Bella Hammond and Nancy Murkowski stand with current First Gentleman Todd Palin in the Governor’s mansion ballroom on August 2, 2008 after a luncheon.

As you can see by these OFFICIAL photographs on the Official Alaska Governor's web site, Todd Palen was not known as, nor referred to as the FIRST DUDE, but instead as the First Gentleman. On another humorous note...guess these pictures leave little doubt as to who wears the panties in the Palin household. He looks SO CUTE with his other counterparts in the room. (slapping my fingers...SHAME ON ME!)

Sarah Palin's Sister and Father Co-Conspirators In Illegal Moose Kill!

This SUCKS!

The Troopergate Report is CHOCK full of some very interesting, and heretofore unknown tidbits of information that leave NO DOUBT that A) Sarah and Todd Palin were out for revenge against Trooper Wooten, and B) that their own family were willing accomplices in the illegal shooting of a Moose!

One of the things that Todd Palin was hoping could be used against Trooper Wooten, was the fact he had illegally shot a moose...he apparently even had pictures of this illegal harvesting of Alaskan wildlife...I always thought that odd until I read the report. Here is the way it went down.

1. Trooper Wooten was out in the field with his then wife, Sarah Palin's sister.

2. Apparently for whatever reason, Sarah's sister could not or would not take the shot, even though she had a tag, so Trooper Wooten PULLED THE TRIGGER felling the moose.

3. The sister of Sarah Palin's tag was used (with her agreement) to tag the Moose. Said couple, and apparently some friends then dragged the Moose out of the field, loaded it up into their vehicle and departed the area.

4. The Moose was then taken to Sarah Palin's father's house where he (Sarah Palin's father) BUTCHERED SAID MOOSE.

When Todd Palin found out that EVERYONE INVOLVED with this incident would have to be charged with accessories to the crime, he got VERY AGITATED!

This series of incidents regarding the Moose bring up several disturbing realities. First among them, is the fact that Sarah and Todd have not been telling the truth all along. They have been quick to point out Trooper Wooten's illegal shooting of a Moose, but have FAILED to bring up their own family's involvement in the Moose, and their own criminal behaviors in the incident.

Secondly, especially in light of the first fact, there is little doubt that Sarah, Todd and the Palin clan WERE ON A WITCH HUNT, were out to get Trooper Wooten.

Thirdly, this incident and the testimony about it show us that the Palin's do not believe in FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE for all, but instead want to manipulate the law to suit their own purpose, and do not want the law to apply to themselves, their families and friends if enforcing the law finds them guilty of BREAKING IT!

A careful read of the report leaves no doubt that Sarah Palin IS UNFIT TO HOLD POLITICAL OFFICE, LET ALONE RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Palin's Upstart Maverick Image Paid For With State Tax Funds!

With every turn of the page, the Palin story gets nastier and nastier. Before she was even minted as Senator McCain's running mate we had Troopergate...we are all waiting anxiously for the REAL REPORT on this mess, while giggling at the McCain Campaign Report that pronounced her innocent of all charges. Next we had the press bombshell that her teenage daughter was pregnant out of wedlock...this would not have raised eyebrows if it were not for Sarah Palin's extremely radical conservatives views and values. Next we have the rest of the Troopergate Story...turns out that Sarah Palin replaced Walt Monegan with one Kenai Police Chief Charles Kopp who's past includes a charge of SEXUAL HARRASSMENT! Talk about a serious question of judgement...John Cyr of the Troopers Union would say, “She didn’t understand how important it is to truly vet anyone who would be in a position of that authority,” This remark takes on some alarming tones when you realize Sarah Palin would be one step away from the Presidency...maybe less, as I would not put it past Palin to take whatever steps were necessary to ascend to the throne.

We all know of Sarah's problems with the media, have had many laughs at her guffaws thanks to Saturday Night Live skits that are becoming a staple of our daily lives in the past month. Let us forget that she can see Russia!...though, that claim has sense been disproved since Sarah Palin never actually visited the one remote location in Alaska from which you can actually see Russia. A small lie, but a lie none the less.

We reported here last night that a second investigation which we have named Per Diem Gate is underway, and that the Palin's may actually OWE back takes on her Per Diem payments. Still having trouble understanding how Alaska can let their governor bill the state $17,000 in Per Diem so that she can STAY AT HOME ALL DAY, rather than driving the one hour each day into work...hell of a deal if you can get it. This Per Diem issues is even odder when you realize the state of Alaska operates and maintains a perfectly beautiful Governor's Mansion for Sarah Palin that she chooses NOT TO STAY IN most of the time.

Sarah Palin must LOVE SHOES, because today another one is dropping. It seems that Sarah Palin's, "UPSTART MAVERICK" Governor image was not really her own, but was carefully crafted and designed by a PR FIRM. Further troubling, state tax dollars were used to pay this PR FIRM to craft Sarah Palin's image! Next question...who was this outside PR Firm, and were there SPECIAL FAVORS paid because said firm had special ties to the Palin family/clan.

PR consultant helped Palin grab spotlight

Expert pitched 'upstart governor' as a crusader against Big Oil

During her first months in office, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin kept a relatively light schedule on her workdays in Juneau, making ceremonial appearances at sports events and funerals, meeting with state lawmakers, and conducting interviews with Alaska magazines, radio stations and newspapers.

But this spring, Palin's official calendar chronicles an extraordinary rise to national prominence. A fresh face in Republican politics, she was discovered by the national news media at least in part because of a determined effort by a state agency to position her as an oil and gas expert who could tout Alaska's determined effort to construct a natural gas pipeline.

An outside public relations expert hired under a $31,000 contract with the state Department of Natural Resources pitched the "upstart governor" as a crusader against Big Oil, a story line that Palin has adopted in her campaign as Sen. John McCain's running mate. The contract was the only time the Palin administration hired an outside consultant to set up media interviews, a function performed in many states by government employees.

After Deep Anal Probe, Palin Clears Self In Trooper Gate

Oh, this is RICH...Sarah Palin has cleared herself on the Eve of the State of Alaska announcing its own findings in Trooper Gate. Apparently after a deep anal self exploration of her shitty motives in the Trooper Gate Scandal, she has decided SHE DID NOTHING WRONG! You have to wonder what is wrong inside the McCain Campaign when they decide they can conduct their own investigation of his running mates ethical wrongdoings, but then John McCain has stated publically he has always been an aspiring dictator. Wonder if she will talk about her innocence out on the Stump this morning so that her talking points make it into the 24 hour news cycle? Maybe she could explain how it is that her own investigation of her actions in Trooper Gate seem to contradict her husbands ANSWERS in his affidavit? Is she now doing her own investigation of Per Diem Gate?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Trying to head off a potentially embarrassing state ethics report on GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report Thursday that clears her of any wrongdoing.

Sen. John McCain's running mate is the subject of a legislative investigation into whether she abused her power as governor by firing her public safety commissioner. The commissioner, Walter Monegan, says he was dismissed in July for resisting pressure from Palin's husband, Todd Palin, and numerous top aides to fire state trooper Mike Wooten, Palin's former brother-in-law.

Lawmakers are expected to release their own findings Friday. Campaign officials have yet to see that report - the result of an investigation that began before she was tapped as McCain's running mate - but said the investigation has falsely portrayed a legitimate policy dispute between a governor and her commissioner as something inappropriate.

Demand Release Of Troopergate Report

Just in from the BBC...seems that those who have been investigating Sarah Palin's Troopergate scandal are mulling over MAYBE releasing the findings of the report. We need to DEMAND full transparancy. Contact Alaskan elected officials and demand access to this report. The American people deserve the truth, good, bad or ugly. Sarah Palin and her actions are now no longer JUST AN ALASKAN ISSUE.

Palin report may be made public

The Palins say Mr Wooten threatened and abused their family Alaska legislators are to decide whether to make public an investigation into allegations Sarah Palin abused her power as governor of Alaska. Mrs Palin stands accused of firing a safety official for refusing to sack a state trooper who had been involved in an acrimonious divorce from her sister. Mrs Palin, who is John McCain's running mate, denies any improper behaviour. But the row - now widely referred to as "Troopergate" - has cast a pall over the Republican presidential campaign. The probe into the affair began before Mr McCain selected Mrs Palin last month. Critics say Mrs Palin was using her power as governor to settle a personal feud. But several Republican politicians had attempted to have the probe stopped on the grounds that it was politically motivated. However, the Supreme Court in Alaska on Thursday dismissed a legal attempt to stop the investigation.

A Second Palin Investigation Underway!

Seems there is a second Palin investigation underway now that she has released her tax records to the public. Now the first thing that strikes the average American as ODD, is how Sarah Palin, or for that matter any politician, is entitled to $17,000 in Per Diem for staying IN HER OWN HOUSE! That's right, $17,000 for staying in her own house instead of driving the ONE HOUR into Juneau to go to work! WOW, I want that kind of a GIG. Let's put this in perspective. My mortgage on my home costs me about $1300 per month. So, if I were Governor, and worked from home instead of going into the office, I could actually PAY MY ENTIRE MORTGAGE with my Per Diem!

Now, if I owned a gas guzzling vehicle that got say 20 miles per the gallon, and I had to drive 120 miles round trip a day for the 312 days that Sarah STAYED HOME, I would have spent $7,488 in gasoline costs at $4 a gallon. What am I missing here? Sarah Palin has been Governor for basically 2 years. In that time, SHE STAYED HOME in Wasilla with her kids 312 days, or well in excess of 50 percent of the time. She then BILLED THE STATE $17,000 dollars in Per Diem, and according to this newest investigation, probably should HAVE PAID TAXES on that total. Further, it is not like she CLOSED DOWN THE GOVERNORS MANSION to save the state money. Wouldn't Alaska's taxpayers have been BETTER SERVED if Sarah Palin had MOVED HER FAMILY into the Governor's Mansion, and driving back home weekends when she was not billing the state?

Palin's per diem under review

$17,000: State will look to see if she should pay taxes on money she gets for staying in her Wasilla home.

Gov. Sarah Palin's practice of charging the state when she stays in her home must be reviewed to determine if she should pay taxes on the payments, state Finance Director Kim Garnero said Tuesday.

Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, released two years' worth of tax returns last week that did not list the per diem payments she received since becoming Alaska governor in December 2006. She collected nearly $17,000 during that period for 312 nights spent in her Wasilla home about an hour's drive from Anchorage, according to state travel records.

Palin listed 157 days spent in Anchorage during 2007 on her travel forms. Garnero said Palin's work place as governor is considered to be Juneau, so she filed for the per diem payments when she stayed at her home in Wasilla.
