Troopergate Report Shows Palin Administration "Shockingly Amateurish"

But the Branchflower report still makes for good reading, if only because it convincingly answers a question nobody had even thought to ask: Is the Palin administration shockingly amateurish? Yes, it is. Disturbingly so.

Good article in TIME magazine.

The statement "childish impetuousness and sense of entitlement" is Sarah Palin to a tee. Over a week ago I made almost that exact same remark about her to the wife.

Amazing how many simpleminded "folks" can't see through people. But you can bet they can "see" through Obama with their lying eyes.

The KGB style 'Show Trial' of the great Sarah Palin is an act of conspiracy of the Marxist-Islamic Dems to take over the rule of the American people using the worst and darkest libels, which remind the character destruction of the Jews by the Nazis in the 1930s.
The Marxist America hating Dems were able to destroy US economy and National security since Pelosi, Barack Ahmadinajad Obama, and Reid took control of US Congress in 2006.
The Marxist Dems like the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 are trying to destroy America from within using the oil-rich radical Islamic money.
Clearly, like in Marxist Russia during the dark Stalinist days when the opponents of Marxism and communism for the poor were subjected to false show trials, the corrupt and fraudulent Marxist liberal Dems are trying to ruin the character of their opponent Sarah.
However, now a day the pro-radical Islamic and Marxist left wing media is sending tens of corrupt fat liberal trial lawyers to Alaska to persecute the great and true American leader, the bright and charming and successful Sarah Palin. The corrupt fat and ugly liberal lawyers were able to take advantage of bad marriage and divorce in the family to blame Sarah Palin for what she has to do as governor:
Fire the bad and inefficient dead wood in government. However, the American people know the truth about the true character of the great American woman Sarah Palin.
Clearly, using the dark Stalinist and KGB tactic by the corrupt Dems will not stop Sarah from doing what she must do which is: Saving the American people from the Stalinist Marxist and corrupt Dems that want to convert America to Marxist-anti-Semitic radical Islamic Shariya ruled country, the Iranian style.

When a flattened learning curve person with a dubious degree from six colleges and a short stint as a sportscaster who lists her greatest relevant accomplishments as having kids and attending hockey games hits the halls of government, what would anyone expect but rank amateur results??????

Come on. The hoax is up.

This is Bush 43 in a skirt, squared.

I used to think that there couldn't possibly be a worse administration than the current administration. If McCain/Palin win my money is on them to outdo Bush/Cheney in spades.

I'm beginning to wonder if the GOP is actually trying to see how stupid the electorate is. Is Ashton running the GOP and after election day, is he gonna come out and yell

Latest polls, 55% of Americans think Palin is unprepared for the VP job.

Amazing when hit with the truth all you do is continue to say over and over the same tired lies. I hope you enjoy November because no matter what you say or how mad you get it is going to be a Democratic landslide.

A subsidiary of the group was paid $800,000 by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign to register voters for the 2008 primaries, and ACORN's political wing endorsed Obama back in February. But Obama's campaign told CNN that it "is committed to protecting the integrity of the voting process," and said it has not worked with ACORN during the general election.

The Palin bubble burst. Hiding her backfired. She has turned into dangerous ballast on a leaking ship. If and when McCain shows her plainly how important she really wasn't, all hell may break loose since I really don't think the lipsticked pitbull knows she was merely the token vagina.

I have contended from the beginning that sane Republicans have all been in hiding, that McCain was essentially selected as the GOP's designated loser since all the smart ones knew this cycle belongs to the Democrats and that true conservatives worth their salt are counting on Johnboy losing and taking what stinking leftovers there are of Bush/Cheney/Rove with him. The brand is in desperate need of a makeover and until the neocon faction is dead, that won't be happening. I would not be surprised if they swiftboated McCain, should he begin to make any kind of a comeback. You only have to look at how isolated Bush and McCain are to see any of this arrangement. Republicans facing re-election are recoiling from McCain.

Is this is just a sign of bigger things to come?

I can almost see it now; the cabinet will be flourishing of the candidates BFF's (Lieberman should have a nice cushy position, at the very least), the biggest $$ contributors and if Troopergate's any indication, their spouses.

Will Cindy coordinate be appointed to Sec of Treasury? After all, her qualifications as a daughter of big money would be great in charge of the country's, no? Plus she obviously knows a good value when touting $100k outfits for political events.

Todd, dear ol' Todd he could be Sec of Defense. Defending his wifey's "good" name on top of the agenda, much like his role in Troopergate.

Oy.

Do we really need more time, after the already 8 years we've suffered through, of blatant cronyism in that big White house?

Hypocrite democRats are always going after cops who most of the time have done nothing wrong other than remove a scumbag from the face of the earth.
On the other hand every now and then you get a bad apple amongst police. And it appears the trooper in question should have lost his job and in most cities he would have. And, that brings us to Todd Palin. Todd Palin has a right and duty to inform those in authority if a cop's behavior is out of bounds with standards surrounding his job. To say nothing, to keep it in the family is a cover-up. And if nothing is done about it should go up the chain of command until something is done otherwise you have the good 'ol boy network. It is my understanding the trooper is still on the job, hopefully they gave him a desk job. Who wants their wife and kid to be stopped and questioned by a trooper who appears to have questionable behavior?

Palin is a puppet who does not mind being used by the men who surround her. Her image recalls to my mind a song that was out maybe a decade or so ago Called "The Hook" by Blues Travellers here are the lyrics and the video shows beauty contestants andpoliticians hmm who would have thought ....
It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow

Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
To see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee
Of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feeling on the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride till until I've died
And only then shall I abide by this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute diddys
I wanna bust all your ballons
I wanna burn of all your cities to the ground
But I've found
I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day
Hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because

Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back

I agree. Ask JohnLa to post the goals of the Alaskan Independence Party.
"Keep up the good work," Sarah Palin told members of the Alaskan Independence Party in a videotaped speech to their convention six months ago in Fairbanks. She wished the party luck on what she called its "inspiring convention."
The Alaskan Independence Party, founded in 1978, initially promoted "the Alaskan independence movement." But now, according to its website, "its primary goal is merely a vote on secession."
I wonder what JohnLa thinks of Palin speaking to, and her husband being a member of group that wants to secede from the U.S.
At the same time she has no trouble taking huge earmarks from the U.S. for wasteful projects. They want to secede, give back anything that was paid for with Federal funds.
But I ramble. The only way the McCain sheep like JohnLa would have a problem with the situation above, is if a Dem was the subject of those facts, and not Sarah Palin.
Since the ersatz messiah Barack Obama has a bone to pick with The United States Constitution and you used the year 1978 to validate your propaganda...
Well Sherman, set the Way-Back Machine to around 1858.
Didn't you disgruntled democRat Party turds secede prior to the Civil War? I think so. So while we're at it...Perhaps you secession scumbags can apologize for your legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, KKK, lynching, etc. You hypocrite puckin morons.

What exactly makes him a scumbag? I am confused. If it is because he tasered his kid, I have heard on the news of cops tasering everyone from 8 year old boys to 78 year old grandmothers in nursing homes. Although I think it is wrong, I am not sure why you would think he was a scumbag. Where is the proof that he acutally threatened anyone? Then again, who needs proof anymore? Was he protected by the blue line or is the blue line throwing him under the bus. I am honestly confused on this issue. When OJ took the law in his own hands, he got convicted. Everyone said he should have called the cops. Why should the Palin family have not called the cops if they honestly felt their lives were threatened?

It's OK to register new voters, no matter their race, party or income level. It is not OK to register dead or invisible voters. To the extent ACORN did the first, bravo, but the second should be investigated and punished.
