As I kept hearing more and more about all the “ethics violations” of the Palin Administration, I finally decided to start looking around. As it turns out, to have an ethics complaint lodged against you in Alaska (and it may be that way in other states too), you simply have to file a complaint. The Anchorage Daily has some commentary about it here.
You can also see the latest damning complaint here. its a biggie. The complaint was filed by, well come on now, can’t you guess? Well by none other than blogger, Linda Kellen, who goes by the name Celtic Diva. I know, I know this is serious stuff just read the complaint yourself. Just wait until the mighty Section8 starts filling out forms.
It’s all making sense now. Left to run a state that leaves you with having to deal with this Mickey Mouse shit on a daily basis, well, no wonder she quit. I was thinking political talk shows were going to be her future, but after this, I think hosting a Jerry Springer type forum would suit her best. It would be just like her old job. So when you read about how she’s being charged with all these “ethics violations”, just a heads up on what it’s really all about.
Update:
Also, the latest rumor about the Feds about to get her is false.
That hasn’t stopped the likes of Think Progress from wondering about yet another rumor. This time it’s the IRS. See last part of their entry.
Next up: Palin controls the entire federal justice department as they refuse to investigate this Bimbo’s well plotted and ingenious plan for world domination.

Wow.. she wore a branded jacket!! Send her to the gallows! Good god people will look for anything to try to nail people. Sure, it might end up being wrong technically, but do people really think she planned that and maybe didn’t, you know, just put on a frickin’ jacket she had in the closet?
Wow, a bunch of stunted women at that Celtic Diva link bitching about Sarah Palin’s clothes. That constitutes an ethics violation? As if I needed more motivation to detest Big Government and the people who support it.
Linda Kellen Biegel, better known as blogger “Celtic Diva,”
Is she?
Another thing I should mention is it’s not just the filing of complaints itself, but these people can go out and tell the media she’s under investigation right after the complaint is made, even before any results of any preliminary investigation. That’s why we’re hearing about how she’s being investigated left and right, it’s just that these complaints are basically not even worthy of serious consideration.
Imagine if thought you saw a neighbor you didn’t like driving 66 in a 65 mph zone, and they had their kids in the car, and you could complain and say it’s child endangerment. Hell, they broke the law and had their kids in the car. Never mind the fact that everyone does this, and it in no way compares to any serious allegation. Never mind that they night not have even been driving over 65. On top of that then they could go around and say how these people are bad parents. Hey, check out Ms. Smith. She’s being investigated for child endangerment. Stay away from her. It could be spun into an issue far greater than reality dictates.
I knew that this was why she was always “under investigation,” but I don’t like that she quit if she expects to step up to a larger plate later. That said, the liberal blogosphere needs to get over itself. Her quitting just gave them the boost to do this to everybody they don’t like, and that’s really dangerous. They smeared her until she quit, got what they wanted, so who is next? Pawlenty?
One aspect of this story that is missing is the fact that Palin is now spending a fortune in personal legal fees fighting these frivolous suits. Last I heard her family was close to half a million dollars in the hole because of these bastards. If there was any justice in the world, these people filing these complaints would all pay for their chicanery.

That’s probably the real reason she quit. Now she can make some money.

Instead of leaking it. $500,000 to put unfounded allegations to bed out of your own money for less than 1 year would be pretty awful. I’m not sure what she’s making now, but it’s not enough to do that for very long at all.

I think that’s how it works in some countries, but you can bet that the ACLU would squash that kind of rule.
I have a question for the studio audience.
What is it about Sarah Palin that causes such energy from both the radical left and the radical right?
I understood the swiftboat stuff about John Kerry. I mean he trashed our guys serving in Vietnam. So you knew a portion of the population would come out vehemently against him. And many amongst the radical left, “made thier bones” during the vietnam era, so they were totally for him.
What did Sarah Palin do or say? Was it calling Bill Ayers a terrorist? Seriously, help me out here.
I don’t love or hate her, but, it gives me pause the way they attack her with such energy.
Fear. They saw the potential for another eight years cast from grace. Palin induced a kind of fear that the Left hadn’t known since 2004 when they realized that hatred of Bush was not as universal as they thought it was.
Absolute, total fear. Aside from all her possible faults and what not, they saw someone with potential, a lot of potential… not just for an election, but legacy.
That’s why they had to dedicate themselves to crushing her.

I have to say the MSM is dedicated to trashing her. I can’t believe the shit I see on cable news these days. It’s incredibly one sided. Watching MSNBC, you would think no one likes Sarah Palin. But, reading conservative sites, you see many are enthralled with the idea of her running for president.
I don’t love or hate her,
I fall in that group, but I’m going to continue to post about the Palin attacks for one reason only. To point out the blatant hypocrisy. In the world of hate, as the Left points out on a daily basis, the Right has Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, and the fringe Right. The left has pretty much its entire base who acts in a similar manner, and they call that mainstream. They they are completely oblivious to the fact that they behave EXACTLY THE SAME WAY as the people they claim to despise for their hate mongering.
Back when Lee was pointing out how some Christian leaders were assholes for not practicing what they preached this place had plenty of people from the Left saying rock on. Many who still remain from the right also though he had valid points. But boy, shift it just a bit and start questioning the behavior of the love and tolerance the Left claim to have and poof, gone in a flash.
the Right has Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, and the fringe Right. The left has pretty much its entire base who acts in a similar manner, and they call that mainstream.
I’d almost agree - but your brushswipe is a bit too wide, to the detriment of your case.
Neither of the major parties have a lock on hypocrisy – I’d be willing to bet the lunacy curve is pretty similar.
Gee. Sally’s defending the Leftist base that attacks little girls in wheelchairs.
Is anyone surprised? Like, at all?

Can you name anything that matches the “Palin faked her pregnancy” theme launched at a Democrat? It has to be something that was completely ridiculous, was repeated by often by commentators taken seriously by the party/pundit establishment, and that lasted for months. Sully’s still bleating that Palin has to come clean on this.

She is an example of many people’s conception of the American dream, a conception not limited to rural America, though very prevalent there. In many respects she’s an everywoman, with the kind of attitude that many people admire. She’s proud of who she is, and that is different from the mainstream, popular scene.
Americans who don’t have many of those kind of role models in the popular culture easily identify with and support her vehemently. For the very same reasons, she invokes contempt and hatred from the establishment, because she’s so unlike them yet is wildly popular.

Not sure I agree with that.
It is definately fear, but a fear that a reactionary swing to the right will bring someone wholly unqualified to the Whitehouse (oh the irony....)
In short, it is not a fear that she is so good the Democrats won’t get a look in, it is a fear that she is so bad that she will fuck things up for generations and generations (oh theres that Irony again...)

Do you think that if she was president as opposed to Obama, we would be in a better or worse place?
The left hates Palin for the simple reason that she is horribly dangerous to the most basic and fundamental building block of their ideological power: identity politics. The democrats win by pandering to victim voter blocks. That they create the very policies and structures that make these people victims in the first place, is never pointed out however. Palin is a woman that does not need daddy government to take care of her. If more women realized this and followed Palin’s path, the democrats would risk the loss of one of their largest voting blocks. That’s why she received the scorched earth treatment. Anything else they tell you is a damned lie intended to obfuscate the fact that their concern for any of their minority groups only extends as far as they minimally need to maintain their grip on power.

Like the reactionary swing to the Left with a unqualified person in the White House?
The point I guess I’m trying to make is that average republican joes like myself didn’t think she would be an issue after the election was over. Kind of like Geraldine Ferraro. I don’t remember her being much of an issue after her failed bid to be VP.
The repeated trashing and bashing eight months after the election has my attention. I am truly curious why they continue to do so.
Now THAT is a loaded question.Do you think that if she was president as opposed to Obama, we would be in a better or worse place?

Hmm…an interesting one…
Well from an economic standpoint, she couldn’t do a whole lot worse, although I am struggling to remember what her idea for economic recovery was – I don’t think it was stated, and she just said that McCain would be better {citation needed}. And she certainly didn’t cover herself in glory when she tried to talk technical. Although having said that it might mean she would have done nothing, and that might be an improvement…
As for other positions, well she comes down on the other side from me on most issues (pro-life, anti stem cell, pro creationism – ish, opposes sex ed ,etc etc), so I would say that things would be worse – but that’s my opinion….
Overall though, she just didn’t seem up to the job – the idea that an ‘ordinary Hockey mom from Alaska, that flirtatiously winks at you after each comment’ could be in charge of the free world, just didn’t sit well with me.

Easy! Obama is a secret Muslim who is planning to turn the WH into a Mosque!
I’ve seen far more leftists saying “Everyone on the right thinks Obama is a secret Muslim!” than I ever have people on the right saying he actually is. In fact, I think in all my time surfing the net during or after the election, I saw maybe two people that said this, and neither of them were actually bloggers, just random commenters somewhere.
“Obama is a secret Muslim” actually seems to be a meme invented by the left for the purposes of projecting it onto the right.

and here i thought you were referring to BUSH,
what stereotype?

Sorry - I was referring to the lefts fear of electing someone inexperienced, and then electing Obama.

How much of an effect does a president have over any one of those topics?

One word ... BIDEN
“Obama is a secret Muslim” actually seems to be a meme invented by the left for the purposes of projecting it onto the right.
The left does that ALL THE TIME. Have you ever heard Janeane Garofalo’s shrill rant about how racist the tea parties are? Or what about how racist the NRA is? Every federal agency under Bush was apparently designed to kill children, poison water and air, lynch blacks, and frame Muslims. Conservatives won’t rest until every black is in prison and every woman saddled with unwanted children who won’t be paid with welfare.
Regarding Palin, Sully put the icing on top of the douchebag cake (and no, I’m not linking that asshole):
“I sure hope her family recovers from what she has done to them.”
This is the kind of backhanded, gutless rhetoric that got men shot and Senators clubbed nearly to death on the floor of Congress 175 years ago--and that was a more genteel age. Sully spouts off this crap because he knows that no one is going to beat the shit out of him like he deserves.
“I sure hope her family recovers from what she has done to them.”
This is the same kind of guy that would blame a woman if she was raped. I mean look at her clothes, she had it coming. What did Palin do exactly? Brought her kids to some rallies? And what politician doesn’t do that? This time though, everyone decided it was a crime. These guys will have their day in the sun for a while, but eventually people will figure these peace and love people for what they really are.
Why this site continues to link to that fucking moron is a mystery to me…

I don’t think there’s been a link to Sully since WVR’s posting privileges were removed. The Big Guy loved his stuff all the way up to his passing, but I think even he would be rather exasperated by Sullivan’s relentless Obama apologias, given current events.
My favorite bit from St. Andrew of the Bleeding Heartache as of late is his “hard hitting” journalism where he chronicles the supposed lies of a woman who DIDN’T get elected as VP and just resigned as governor.
Obama’s many, many lies and broken promises? Nary a fucking word written on the subject.
In the great tradition of Scottish bar patrons calling weak-minded little boys playing at being men “cunts,” Andrew Sullivan is a cunt.
Do people still read Sully? He is a tad lower on the stupid scale than that Prerz Hilton fella. I gave up on Sully back in 2002 when it became clear to me that he was a one issue unhinged freak with serious self-loathing issues and headed for a train wreck. I have wandered there once or twice since, and left feeling vindicated, every damned time, that I stopped wasting my time with such moronic tripe.

A girl once told me that cunt is an acronym for Can’t Understand Normal Thinking, and Sully is certainly an example of that. Whenever I mention someone not understanding normal thinking, that’s what I’m getting at.
Further, it’s a great insult since it’s one that noone likes to be called.
