Many a blog is in a dither about a potential Federal investigation into Sarah Palin...cept there is one problem. The FBI says has no such investigation.
Despite rumors of a looming controversy after Palin's surprise announcement Friday that she will leave office this month, some of them published in the blogosphere, the FBI's Alaska spokesman said the bureau had no investigation into Palin for her activities as governor, as mayor or in any other capacity.
"There is absolutely no truth to those rumors, that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true."
Gonzalez added that there was "no wiggle room" in his comments that could exclude any kind of probe.
Wow. MS. publishes something that is NOT stupid, retro-sexist, and straight out of some 1977 Vassar Yearbook Editor's head. Check it out. Imagine MS. is admitting that the Left was vicious, sexist, and vulgar in its treatment of Palin. I wonder if vulgarians like Andrew Sullivan are within ear shot.
Barackistan Scandal of the Day:More Vivek Kundra. He is a the confessed thief BHO appointed to head WH communications. His office was raided by the FBI last weekend. The bus underneather picker upper was in the repair shop after working O.T. these past few months so Kundra has simply been put in the WH kitchen deep freeze with the zillion dollar beef and 99 cent fish sticks.
2008 media outlet most capable of distortion and avoidance. The nominees are: MSNBC The New York Times The A.P. The Los Angeles Times NBC Newsweek Time
The winner is: MSNBC.
Do we need a recap? The Fox of the Left. Except Fox actually exhibited a sudden propensity for fairness all year.
Most despicable quote of the year - the nominees are:
Obot T-shirt: Palin is a cunt. Randi Rhodes: She (Clinton) is a fucking whore. Keith Olbermann: Someone who can take Clinton into a room and only he comes out. Rev. Wright: No, no, no, not God bless America, God damn America! Chris Matthews: Hillary is only where she is because her husband had an affair. Barack Obama: You're likable enough, Hillary. Tucker Carlson: When she (Clinton) comes on television, I involuntarily cross my legs."
The winner is Obot T-shirt: Palin is a cunt. The award really goes to the zombie kids who proudly wore the shirt - proving beyond any doubt that the Obama Left promoted a reactionary fascism and had an ingrained sexist component. Both those kids need a very public caning.
A note on Harry Reid
Harry Reid is truly an idiot. Before Blag was arrested Reid called him to - apparently - insist that Jackson Jr., Emil Jones, and Danny Davis NOT be appointed. These three men are black. Two are sitting congressmen. Of course, after appointing a different black man that Reid can't abide, Blag leaked the early December conversation.
Seriously - how stupid is Harry Reid? He called and tried to nix 3 black guys. In America. In 2008. Even if he had good reasons (he doesn't), does live in the same nation as the rest of us? Did he not know how this would look? This man would not take on Bush, blinking at every turn - but is calling a Governor and telling him "not those 3 guys?" All of whom happen to be black. So Reid is now on record trying to block FOUR Black candidates for a seat in a Senate with NO black members. By the By - all three men have longer resumes than Obama. Which ain't saying much, I know.
Lordy. Got no love for the GOP here, but I am so happy I left the Democratic Party.
Also - how rough a player is Blag? I am sure the man has the morality of a horny pirate on an deserted island of virgins - but you gotta admire his NUTS.
Guess what is happening now: Walls has vowed to rally activists in an effort to politically defeat Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin and Secretary of State Jesse White if they don't support Blagojevich's appointment for the seat, Roland Burris.
duh. News of the Reid/Blag chat will inflame things further.
A friend told me I needed to watch the Palin turkey interview for the comedy value alone. It is painful AND funny. It almost feels like an SNL skit. Palin is, of course, charming, likable and poised. What she needed then and apparently needs now is a good P.R. person. Standing in front of a turkey insanguinater is not visually appealing to say the least. And unless one is a PETA member - it is also funny. People in Palin's position usually have aids whispering sweet nothings like "Governor lets move this interview over a few feet."
Palin is a smart, talented politician. She needs better "help" before 2012.
As for the PODs going loopy about this clip - their reaction says more about them than it does about her. Animal rights nuts are also apoplectic. I have no time for these types - unless they are vegan. Meat eaters who get sentimental about the animals we eat need to put up or shut up.
Turkeys, chickens, cows, and pigs are brutally and ruthlessly killed. They are fed, fattened and slaughtered in factories. It is a nasty business. Don't like it? Stop eating it.
I really love the readers here. I had a meeting in Pasadena Saturday and checked in when I got home after 3 - a funny email I posted as a "place holder" had generated some great conversation. I felt so pleased and honored - really I mean that. No B.S.
A reader in Cody, Wyoming sent the pics in for the Sunday "snapshot of your location" section. I love them for a couple of reasons:
1. There are the opposite of L.A. images in so many ways. 2. Wyoming is the "equality" state. Wyoming was the first state to give women the right to vote. They were first to allow women to serve on juries and hold public office. This is a strand of progressive American frontier liberalism that is routinely dismissed by the effete lefty pricks in the Obama/Whole Foods Nation - who often barely conceal their contempt for strong women as anyone who watches Hardball, or reads Andrew Sullivan knows. Despite her conservative politics, Palin emerges from this "Wyoming liberal" tradition. Camille Paglia seems to be the only feminist east coast commentator who has noticed this: Palin represents an explosion of a brand new style of muscular American feminism.
The media is subjecting Palin to a high tech lynching. (guess what tonight's post is called? Yes you are correct..."The lynching of Sarah Palin")
1. I can't write what I believe the appropriate response to the editors of US should be - but it begins with tar and ends with feathers. Do we have a replacement to Clinton Derangement Syndrome? Palin Derangement Syndrome...
2. Cannonfire hits back at the Left Wing fascist sexism here.
3. Is anyone talking about Palin and Hispanic voters? My gut tells me she will be a force in bringing Hispanic Clinton voters to McCain.
4. I am blessed with the stack of friends I have. Below is a music clip from a dear friend, Joshua Kadison. The song is Picture Post Cards From LA. Lovely Pop at its best. He is bigger overseas than in the States - which is the way to go if you are after fame...big in Europe/anonymous in the US. Very nice. I have no idea what Joshua's politics are this year...so don't infer any...just Enjoy:
