First off, she had no idea what the role of the vice president of the United States was when she was part of John McCain’s campaign. Now it turns out, she doesn’t even know what the role of the Governor is in her own state and has obviously ignored the laws for the past few years!
From The Mudflats (an Alaskan blog):
But, there was one thing that was left in, that really blew my mind. I know that Mudflats readers, in general, are pretty savvy about Alaska politics, especially if they’ve been reading for a while. So see if you can find the mistake. Here’s the exchange between Palin and Human Events political editor John Gizzi.
GIZZI: You made it clearin our interviews earlier this year that you were not close to fellow Republicans Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young from your state, both of whom you said had a different vision of Alaska’s dealings with the federal government than you did. Were you pleased with the election of Democrat Mark Begich who defeated Stevens and with the re-election of Rep. Young?
PALIN:I met yesterday with Sen.-elect Begich to see that we are on the same page as we move forward as he starts his new job representing Alaska.
I thought that Sen. Stevens was going to be re-elected, and it was so close, and that if he were to step aside because he was convicted [on corruption charges], then I would get to appoint a Republican. So I was kind of surprised at the outcome there.
It is what it is, and I wish Sen. Begich well. We’ll work well together. He’s going to be in the majority party and that’s all the more reason for Mark Begich and me to work closely together. We will.
The Mudflats did this post because they couldn’t believe she’s still saying the same ole thing and it’s clear now….Governor Sarah Palin still believes she has the authority as the Governor to appoint replacements for vacant Senatorial seats, which is so funny, because Alaskan voters stripped her and all future Governors from having the authority to put in who they want to secede.
She’s been the Governor for how long and how long has she lived in Alaska? Wow. Maybe she didn’t vote that year? Maybe she was too busy that year trying to control her children? Could be.
I suppose Palin represents today’s republicans in our government who ignore the laws of their state and their country….and who abuse their powers while making up their own laws along the way! She is the new/old face of this party for sure! Also from The Mudflats’ link above:
We saw the writing on the wall. And to make a very long story short, the issue made it to the ballot. Should Alaskans continue to allow Senators to appoint their replacements, thereby assuring the continuity of representation in the Senate? Or should voters hold a special election, foregoing the continuity, in favor of keeping control over who actually gets the seat.
The special election won hands down. The governor was stripped of the power of appointment. And during the same election that this ballot measure passed, Lisa Murkowski was re-elected to the seat. Go figure. But nonetheless, the law was writ, and everybody who wasn’t living in a cave knew it.
Apparently Sarah Palin was living in a cave, because she just told the planet how bummed she was that Ted Stevens didn’t win, and then get convicted, so she could appoint a Republican to his seat.
Unfreakingbelievable. Even if she didn’t know what the law was, don’t you think someone with a curious mind and who doesn’t have a mouse running on a wheel in their head would have asked those around her, “What is the current law for this situation?”. Nope. Never occurred to her to ask someone. Pathetic.
OT: Kay, it seems you may have some competition. I just wonder how many of the scum sucking elites in this country are involved in this?
From MSN: Child Slavery Now Being Imported To The US:

Sarah Palin, the wet dream of conservatives, red necks, evangelista’s and hockey/soccer mom’s everywhere. Of course she is as bright as a box of rocks but this won’t stop the righties from supporting and voting for her in 2012.
These are the same *intelligent* people who voted TWICE for George W. Bush because he is someone they could drink a beer with. Perhaps St. Sarah Of Palin is someone they could smoke meth with or spread hate around with?
Stop the ignorant from breeding more hate and ignorance. Have your conservatives spayed and neutered.
This has been a public service announcement from The Save America Foundation.
They just love Sarah, still as they say little things please little minds!!
You watch how much of a frenzy there will be should she ever run for President the next time round, they were so enthralled with her wonderful way of speaking, her rabble rousing antics and dragging her perfect family around with her.
Now, there is a great President that you can believe in….NOT!!!!
She is so dumb she thought John McCain was going to win.
As evil as the republican party seems to be, to be fair, just so the republican trolls don’t whine excessively,I believe BOTH parties have failed we the people miserably for the past 30+ years.
Both parties have good and bad politicians, the bad and/or corrupt or incompetent politicians seem to out number the good ones these days. Nobody is looking out for the well being of the American people. We continue to lose jobs, face increasing costs of living in all parts of our every day life.
Mean while we are still involved in two failed and costly wars, we’ve bailed out the banksters, corporations and crooksters on Wall Street as the average American continues to struggle to survive. Where is our bail out!?!
The past eight years of the Bush regime have been atrocious, the trolls can continue to deny this reality but the facts do not lie. Name one thing good that the Bush administration has done for this country or it’s citizens in the past eight years.
Soon we will have President Barack Obama in the White House. He no doubt faces a clusterfuck of problems brought on by eight years of neglect and unaccountability by the Bush regime. We also face a majority leader in Harry Reid and a speaker of the house in Nancy Pelosi who both aren’t worth a damn and have their leadership roles stripped from them.
I have hope that President Obama will do the right things to help get this country back on the right path but the jury is still out. Will he be his own man or is he just another puppet of the corporations…time will tell.
The thing is that both parties have sold us and the country out over the years. Then skillfully thru the corporate media play us all against each other with the right/left, republican/democrat, conservative/liberal word game that they love to play, which further divides this country. Barack Obama seems to want to put an end the divisiveness that is eroding away this country, I hope he succeeds. United we stand, divided we fall.
O/T but a question I haven’t seen answered any place yet,
Where is Bristol Palin’s child?
This was reported on Dec 19th;
Bristol Palin’s baby is due on Saturday, December 20, 2008 and she’s having a boy ……
so where is it?
It’s Dec 29th ain’t it?
Just askin’
Wow Clif! Good question! Let me guess….Bristol’s latest pregnancy was just another lie to cover up the fact that Bristol is the mother of Trig?
So what the hell are they going to do about the 100,000 baby presents that have already been sent to Bristol?

Let me guess! Caribou Barbie will sell them on eBay! Spit.
Here’s what was being said on the 8th Day Pregnancy Watch:

The blogger named the new baby, “Spatula”! LOL I would have thought, “Handle Bars” would be more like it since Sarah named her kids after where they were conceived.
New post up about Bristol & Sarah Palin.
I’ve always maintained that there’s something wrong with Alaska anyway—there have never been any Eskimo governors—WHY THE HELL NOT???
blackie, same reason we have claimed the right t\o land we stole from the native Americans who lived here for centuries, Christian hypocrisy.
they steal …. then justify it.
well the Jews did it in the middle east so it ain’t just Christians now.
