richard, i swear, you just won't do. *your response just tickles the hell

truth is, if you could collect a similar statement from sen. obama, you
would be dismantling the damn thing on roff for a minimum of three hours,
daily, ad infinitum.

*politics aside, the lady is simply an utter failure in her efforts to use

Ditto on Wayne's comment. And . . .

Richard, Alaskan politics and corruption make your part of the country
and NJ where I started look if not squeaky clean, at least not in the
basement. That, and her fibs, not just her words per se, is what gives
the belly laughs in the NW to her candidacy. Sarah as a "reformer?"
All things are relative but Sarah, or frankly any Alaska politician of
the last few decades, are walking ethical time bombs, D or R.

The process of building up a Resource/Govt largess based State has
always been messy. Words like "conflict of interest" and
"conservative" just do not have the same meaning up there. Folks who
don't know that may know Alaska from the tour ships but not much else.
Alaskans as a group are some great people, and fun, and Alaskan women
are in a class by themselves if one appreciates strong, athletic women
as I do. But clean politics? NFW.

She is getting a bad wrap on some of the regional speech patterns.
Folks in the PNW say "You Betcha" all the time. And "fer sure," and
some Chinook jargon words like "skookum" etc, sometimes we use flat
Native American inflections and word order, and lots of hard "R"s
etc.. That is how we often talk to one another and I would guess that
she is a bit more that way because she hasn't traveled much out of the
PNW.

But who ever came up with Palin, whoever was supposed to vett her for
the Rs, deserves to be shot by the Rs. And on her and her husband's
ultimate ethical demise . . . I will give odds for a modest bet.

The days of drunk 14 year old Native American prostitutes rolling
around in the bar floor sawdust of Juneau during the legislative
session/cum Mardi gras, may be over, but crooks still abound in the
Chambers who rue the little progress thats been made.
