PALIN IN A HAT

I generally don’t buy into the ‘Sarah Palin is hot’ hype but she looks pretty good in this hat. Here’s a snapshot from a ‘Going Rogue’ event yesterday.

PALIN BACKS BIRTHERS?

Sarah Palin calls the quest for Obama’s ‘real’ birth certificate ‘fair game.’ She later backed off a bit via Facebook. Still, what a silly move…

An AP source puts first week numbers of Going Rogue at 700k.


Sarah Palin To Resign As Governor Of Alaska

The official press release is here… but you want find what you’re looking for if you read it. I couldn’t get a sense of what her goals may be from her hastily arranged press conference either. She wandered out into her backyard and delivered a short statement, taking no questions afterward, in the media blackhole that is the 4th of July weekend. Also, she leaked some information earlier in the day that suggested she wouldn’t run for reelection but not…


Palin’s Got A Gun – The NRA Honors Sarah Palin With A Custom Rifle

The NRA is sending Sarah Palin a custom gun. Not just any gun, mind you, a custom M-4 rifle — the very type of assault weapon that many Congressional Democrats would like to pry from her (presumably) cold, dead hands. The M-4 is essentially the civilian version of the weapon troops in Afghanistan and Iraq are carrying right this very second. The only thing Palin could possibly do to anger the anti-gun crowd any more would be to take this…


Matthews: Palin’s A ‘Mail-Order Bride’

This guy is such an epic ‘I’m going to do what I can to make this work’ joke at this point, I almost hesitate to follow him. Then again, someone has to pay attention.

Sarah Palin, it turns out, remains extremely popular in the US – at least among readers of comics. A graphic biography of the Alaskan governor was released in the US yesterday and has been flying off the shelves, with its publisher already rushing back to press for a second printing.

Palin Hit With 18k In Per Diem Taxes

Democrats aren’t the only folks dealing with tax issues, apparently:

UNEAU, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin must pay back taxes on nearly $18,000 in expenses she charged the state for living in her home outside Anchorage instead of at the state capital, officials said Wednesday.

A review of state policy and Internal Revenue Service tax laws determined the per diem payments should be treated as income, Department of Administration Commissioner Annette Kreitzer said.

Sure, most of the per diem charges were for bringing her…


Bristol Palin Baby Pics Net $300k?

bristolpalin1

According to one source, bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process.

The price didn’t soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didn’t sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands.

The drug-related arrest of Johnston’s mother, however, caused the price tag for the photos to go up.

I’m liable to believe…
