Never - ever - have I heard more a vacuous, vapid response to a question from a major candidate for public office:

Please, people.  Please.  You cannot put this bimbo in the White House.

As always, you take positions based on what you think, not on partisan politics. We could all learn from your style. I mostly keep silent when I disagree with the conservative side, although I try to be honest with myself about the fact; if it's wrong for one side it's wrong for the other. I just don't say it out loud. Calling Palin names makes me cringe, I do appreciate you for standing up for her in that regard.


I appreciate your posts nelle!

The Smear
Trooper FiringPalin abused her power by firing a state trooper that was married to her sister.




The Truth
The Trooper Has Never Been FiredOn 3/1/06, Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten was suspended for 5 days following an investigation. Wooten was reprimanded for four instances of violating laws and department rules dating to 2001. He is back at work.

Palin's daughter, Bristol, alledgedly witnessed Wooten use a Taser on his stepson, Palin's nephew Payton. Wooten 3rd wife at the time was Sarah Palin's little sister Molly.

In a May 2005 police report, Palin has alledged that Wooten made a death threat against her father "I'm gonna f****ing kill your Dad", I'm gonna shoot him", "he's gonna eat an f***ing lead bullet".

Two and one half years later, Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan was fired by Palin in July 2008 after he declined a transfer to become the director of the state alcohol control board. Palin says he didn't do enough to fill trooper vacancies and battle alcohol abuse issues.

A Palin political rival, Andrew Halcro, the man who lost to Palin in the 2006 governor's race, was the first to accuse Palin in a blog post titled "Why Walt Monegan got fired: Palin's Abuse of Power". Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan says Palin never told him to fire the trooper.

Wooten still works for the Alaska State Troopers.

Update: 9/5/2008 CNN Interview
Trooper Mike Wooten was interviewed on CNN on 9/5/2008 where he admitted to the following activities that he had been disciplined for:

  • Tasering his 10 year old stepson
  • Shooting a moose illegally

He denied the following:

  • Drinking in a police car
  • Threatening to kill Palin's father
He also said he had subsequently married and then divorced his 4th wife.

We could use Bill Maher's word and call her a stewardess, but that would be wrong because we all know they're flight attendants.


Paul Westerberg said it best:

Paid my fare, don't wanna complain

You get to me, you're always outta champagne

Treat me like a bum, don't wear no tie

'cause you ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

And the sign says, "Thank you very much for not smoking"

My own sign says, "I'm sorry, I'm smokin'"

You don't treat me special, don't kiss my ass

Treat me like the way they treat 'em up in first class

Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineer

Garbage man, a janitor and you my dear

A real union flight attendant, my oh my

You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

FYI..."Troopergate" is about the firing of Walt Monegan who was a public safety commissioner in charge of the state troopers.

And the Judge refused to stop the investigation and dismissed the lawsuit brought by those who sought to stop it.

I guess it depends on your/my definition of bimbo. My definition, which I would happily listen to opinions on, is someone who doesn't know what they don't know.

When Palin says she has foreign policy experience because Alaska is physically close to Russia, everyone is laughing at her but she doesn't get it. That's the bimbo part.
She has other characteristics of course. She is down-home, easy on the eyes, likes to be the down home candidate. She presents well and can deliver a good line.
