Scandal

By connecticut man1 on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 4:02pm

to be announced? lol

Speculation abounds, of course

especially since none of the major networks made it to Wasilla for the press conference. Apparently Todd Palin's involvement with the Alaska Independence Party -- and his wife's efforts, revealed by a McCain staffer's emails Keith Olbermann obtained, to cover up same in interviews with, among others, CBS news -- was a bigger problem than we knew.

The new house - The new arena - Embezzling?

By connecticut man1 on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 9:43pm

Via Brad Blog, the other shoe drops?

Okay, I've now been able to get independent information from multiple sources that all of this precedes what are said to be possible federal indictments against Palin, concerning an embezzlement scandal related to the building of Palin's house and the Wasilla Sports Complex built during her tenure as Mayor. Both structures, it is said, feature the "same windows, same wood, same products." Federal investigators have been looking into this for some time, and indictments could be imminent, according to the Alaska sources.

The BRAD BLOG has not been able to receive confirm from any federal sources on this. Our information comes from local Alaskans who follow Palin, and who have been keeping an eye on this for some time, while keeping it quiet at the request of federal investigators.

It is quite likely

As a guy who has owner built a few houses, I am an authority on what it takes. The official story during the campaigns last year simply failed any reasonable test.

Random term

Versailles Projection Syndrome

The tendency, shared by all wingers, to project their own thoughts, motivations, desires, and feelings, which they cannot admit to themselves, onto others. In psychology, a defense mechanism. Anticipated in the Christian Gospel: "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" (Matthew 7:3 KJV)Originated here here. Usage example: "Sean Hannity titled his book Deliver Us From Evil. That's a fine example of WPS in action."

13:41:11 letsgetitdone Thanks
13:13:28 lambert lets -- up now!
13:12:40 letsgetitdone lambert, where is the link to the live blog
18:26:14 Michael Kwiatkowski lambert< Hey Lambert, feel free to cross-post on my blog. That's set up specifically for promoting candidates and causes. I put up links to some progressive and green party web sites, and I'm open to posting more.
20:09:38 lambert Tony, got your mail. I'm thinking, I'm thinking....
19:02:10 Sarah thx lambert. I'll resume lurking now...
16:04:47 lambert Sarah, this was a server issue now I hope resolved.
14:55:08 Sarah lambert, can you exempt my blog from calais? it keeps crashing my posts. I'll go to edit its tags and the "save" will time out.
08:11:01 BDBlue The tax situation does make it mostly ungovernable, which is an additional issue. No one wants a job where they are destined to fail. Right now that describes the California governorship.
07:50:17 nycweboy I always got the sense - my sister lived there while going to grad school and met her husband a native SFan as well - that California is just ungovernable. Neither party seems to be able to offer good Guvs, these days, Arnold inclusive.
15:44:18 BDBlue California's inability to produce decent Democratic candidates for Governor always astounds me. I think it's because the term-limits for State legislature prevents any real powerhouses and stars from developing. The entire system there is broken.
14:12:10 Jeff W That's why we need a Dem governor in—oh, wait, uh [url] [url]
01:51:55 hipparchia yay for the governator! [not]
00:03:31 Jeff W Single payer universal health care bill passes in California Senate [url] (but the governor will veto it)
07:44:51 lambert RL calls... Talk amongst yourselves....
07:47:22 nycweboy I think this "O'Keefe tries to tap Landrieu's phones" story will be a huge deal for the crazy right
20:46:09 BDBlue Welcome, nycweboy, l'm a regular reader of your blog. Good to see you here.
19:00:47 okanogen Yay nycweboy!!!!
