Sarah Palin’s political mentor from the Wasilla salad days dishes the dirt about her profligate spending and disregard for the legislative branch. According Nick Carney, the former city councilman who groomed Palin, the mayor spent $50,000 of taxpayers’ money to redecorate her office:
"I thought it was an outrageous expense, especially for someone who had run as a budget cutter," said Carney. "It was also illegal, because Sarah had not received the council’s approval."
According to Carney, Palin’s office makeover included flocked, red wallpaper. "It looked like a bordello." [Salon]
I guess she’s qualified to be a Republican vice president after all. Her disregard for the legislative branch would make Dick Cheney proud.

mmmm. Good taste.
She probably just wanted to be in more familiar, comfortable surroundings.
I’m telling you, think “boys from Brazil”, they have cloned Cheney and changed a chromosome, this women is exactly like the man
Sorry to hijack your thread a bit, but it sort of pertains.
These craven miscreants will stop at nothing to besmirch themselves, their campaign, and our nation itself in their unbridled, unethical, and immoral pursuit of power!
I have had it!
And don’t call me a Fundamental either!
I am a person!
I reject and denounce being called a Fundamental.
I call on the mcShame campaign to apologize to Americans for calling them Fundamentals.

Or start an FDL petition calling on the mcShame campaign to apologize for calling Americans “Fundamentals” instead of persons!
how do you think the first Dude,kept interested,5 kids correct?
Hmmm. Bordello. Wonder if she had any BJs there. It’s an impeachable offense, dontcha know.
Does she tan in the Bordello too?
Chinese nookie factory is more like it.
If she “had” one we gotta a real news flash!
Here’s what the mayor may have looked like on the job.
Well, the bordellos in Anchorage were pretty much an open secret so why not in Wasilla?
It’s an impeachable offense, dontcha know.
in her church.
(a good way of ending all sentences about Palin).
e.g. -> “We should go moose hunting.” (in her church)
And we complained when Nancy bought new china.
Can you imagine? No class. None at all.
“participated in,” you stickler for accuracy…
That’ll convince those Reagan Dems to vote for Obama.
Just the facts
Kinda like adding “in bed” to the end of every Chinese fortune cookie saying? Haven’t discovered one yet that wasn’t vastly improved. I’ll remember to add “in church” to the end of every sentence about Palin.
What’s the statute of limitation on misappropriation of assets or some such? To bad no one in BF Alaska would sue.
An office “like a bordello” … that takes me back, to this.
(Seems to me that during that time, there were Twin Peaks people and there were Northern Exposure people. No need to guess which I was.)
OT: In yesterday’s Gallup, Obama trailed by one. Today he leads by two. That’s a three-point bump in one day.
attack. Attack. ATTACK.

The way I learned it was to take the hymn titles out of the hymnal and add “in bed”. That was when I was in high school and I was told that by the pastor’s wife. She was a hoot.
RAVEN:
Did you ever find the dragon man? I didn’t.
That works for me too. I’ll try it the next time I find myself in a Protestant church.
Yeah, with that hair-do, I’d peg her as a flocked wallpaper kinda gal.
I loved Twin Peaks! I was even in the official fan club for a while iirc. Hehe I’m such a geek.
he showed up this morning
LOL! You’re quite a hoot in your own right – dear demi.
Just in case you never do…here’s one for you.

See, I’ve got a sense of humor.
Just mailed him.
Cool. Thanks.
I left you the link you asked for at the bottom of the last thread.

Was grocery shopping today, the National Enquirer cover showed Sarah Palin and asked “What is she hiding” with subtitles about affairs, her son’s drug use, and wild daughter. Not sure what the low information voters are going to think. Who knows, they may want more excitement in the White House. Don’t know what was actually in the article, as I’m keeping my streak up of never having bought one. Although if Obama wins I might have to spend some money buying a few copies, just to say thanks.
All I can think about are the primaries where some people voted early, before information came out. Unless I’m mistaken, some areas should start voting fairly soon.
Call me a grammar nazi but I dislike; but I would prefer this to read; “Sarah Palin’s political mentor from the Wasilla salad days has dishes the dirt about her profligate spending and disregard for the legislative branch.

707. That must be the best one. You’re tempting me to attend to check out the hymnal.
forgot to add, this article states Monegan was fired for being too aggressive on domestic violence issues.
crampin’ her style, bless her heart.
One thing about these revelations, this redecorating included: no one challenges Palin when she does something clearly illegal. Her temper and vindictiveness are such that no one seems to call her on her shit.
Is this what John McCain means when he says he sees something of himself in her?
Yes, it’s up to the National Enquirer and Entertainment news to do the investigating of democracy!
I think it was the E! channel that was taking the Cindybot to task for saying The View ate the meat off their bones or some such. I guess Mrs. McBush didn’t like the question about how many houses they own.
Oh, there is one more. Presented: According Nick Carney, the former city councilman who groomed Palin, the mayor spent $50,000 of taxpayers’ money to redecorate her office:

She reminds me of that ghost librarian at the opening of Ghostbusters. Yikes!

exactly. (and yes, that *is* where I got the idea) *g*
I got scheduled yesterday into the radio talk circuit, to talk about Sarah and her end-times beliefs. I’ve done three now, with five more scheduled outside of Alaska from 0600 tomorrow through Friday afternoon. I don’t have the time, I simply don’t!! I’m crazy busy at work through October 10th.
But I’m doing the shows anyway, because we have to keep on telling the truth about Sarah Palin. I’m doing my first hostile show – KGAB, a big Eastern Rockies blowtorch out of Laramie, because maybe I can convince people who like her what a ginned up farce she is. That probably does more good for getting the info out than talking on Air America, Pacific or even NPR.
I haven’t yet found a credible article about Palin’s past by an outside reporter, who visited Alaska since August 29th, that likes what she or he has learned…
Readers should all read David Talbot’s excellent article, linked to in Lindsay’s intro.
Is that a real image of the wallpaper, Lindsay?
Good on you for thinking of it!
Yes, but now this is the Big Time. I’m hearing people calling her on her shit. I hope to hear more and more.
The rape stats for Alaska would make many 3rd world leaders cry in outrage. It has gotten worse over the past decade, not better.
Please please keep up your good work and many many thanks.
Did you happen to catch their performance with Madonna on Live Earth? La Isla Bonita, I loved it.
The only office pics I found is the one with the grizzly bear throw on the couch. No wallpaper in view.
Edward, The other night you mentioned that an organization had email correspondence showing that Sarah knew and wanted rape kits to be taxed. Have you heard any more on this?
If you click on the wallpaper pic at the top of this post, it enlarges, showing cowboys shooting six-shooters and oilwells. That’s more than a bit Palinesque. (at least that’s what I think I see. maybe it is cowgirls)
It is coming, hopefully before the end of the week, and I’ve been asked to not give details yet. I’ve been told aspects of it are even more damning than anything solid in this matter we yet have.
Wow. I didn’t look at it carefully. It’s even tackier than I thought.
Don’t you SATAN’S face in the red flocked wallpaper? I’m certain that is why she chose it. Sarah Palin, Satan’s mole.
Fingers Crossed!
With a little luck, Sarah Palin could turn out to be the best thing that ever happened as she seems to be blowing herself up. But it is much too soon to celebrate. The downside of all the negative news about her (from D POV) is that they lower expectations for her in the debate. And she’s fast on her feet.
All the Clintons “brave work” in calling out Palin; a Clintons corporate fundraiser endorses McCain tomorrow.
Bush was incoherent during one debate with Kerry and we know how that turned out.
Yessiree Bob. Never misunderestimate the stoopidity of the voter.
Alert the Log Cabin Clubs!
@Irish Jim.
It should have read: Sarah Palin’s political mentor from the Wasilla salad days
hasdishes the dirt about her profligate spending and disregard for the legislative branch.Aw that’s bullshit, she’s been in Mc Cain’s camp since Hil lost. Don’t sweat the small shit.
Thank you and good luck!
Princess Cariboo is getting a reputation like another famous Alaskan mayor.
