What’s the worm’s eye Alaska political point of view on the State creamery kerfuffle ?

Reading some junk about it on the net, and the lady who’s name escapes me who was tied up in it and the new PAC Governor Palin is launching.

The entire legislature took off for two weeks in the middle of their “grueling” 90 day session. Not a word was said.

Many legislators have serious attendance issues.

Even better, they we in RECESS while the Governor was in Indiana! Took the day off! The chambers were empty!

Are you one of the paid ACORN agitators who go around spreading BS and hoping it will stick?

Governors leave their states all of the time, for all kinds of reasons, both political and not. In 50 years I have NEVER seen the kind of BS this woman has to put up with from a bunch of deranged little loons!

All of you, need to be locked up in the loony bin until you get yourself sorted out!

whether you like it or not it would be an ethics violation.

Why is it that you guys who say you love Palin are encouraging her to fall into a trap?

Governor Palin has been in office for almost three years. So far, with the exception of the ethics crap that you’re so enamored of, she has yet to actually “accomplish” anything. Well, unless you would call encouraging her staffers (and herself) to use private email accounts for public business; spending $500M of the state’s money on a pipeline contract with no pipeline in the offing; pissing off the REPUBLICAN members of the House and Senate to the point that they are pretty consistently voting against her; and now, being rightly accused of violating the ethics standards that she wrote.

She may wade through this crap – of her own making – but I gotta tell you, as a guy who happens to like her on the stump, she’s no shining star when it comes to actually getting things done. Let’s see if she gets reelected next year for starters. If not, she’s just another Mitt Romney wanna be, “one-term-and-up”. If so, let’s see what she is able to accomplish with a Republican House and Senate. Because based on her performance so far, she’d last about a minute in DC.

Oh, and while we’re at it, I find this really illuminating…

Can she accept it and give it to the state? Or is that “unethical” too?

Obviously you don’t actually know anything about what you’re whining about do you. Note, that wasn’t a question. You really need to learn how to do your own research on things before you make an ass of yourself in public. Although, given your performance on Governor Palin in past diaries, we all know that making an ass of yourself in public doesn’t seem to be a problem for you.

I know some idiot will find a way to make an ethics violation out of this, but this rifle is one thing worth taking the hit for. I can’t wait to see this rifle in her hands.

A preemptive ad hominen…don’t see those that often…well done…not.

Governor Palin is concerned, he is absolutely a fool. He has yet to post a single comment or diary that is even poorly researched, let alone well researched, on the Governor.

See the dictionary…

fool. (n.d.). The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Retrieved April 24, 2009, from Dictionary.com website: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fool
–noun
1. a silly or stupid person; a person who lacks judgment or sense.
4. an ardent enthusiast who cannot resist an opportunity to indulge an enthusiasm…

Ron has repeatedly shown that he has a complete absence of judgment with respect to the Governor. He has written at length here at Redstate on the Governor and my problem with his pieces – both diaries and comments – is his complete lack of knowledge about the facts of his subjects. He makes sweeping statements based on nothing more than assumptions that he tries to pass off as facts. He is utterly ignorant about Alaska politics and he completely ignores everything that doesn’t fit his world view, which seems to be that Sarah Palin should be President because he thinks so. The guy has yet to make a single argument about the Governor that had any factual basis in context.

I will give him credit for being enthusiastic. But then again, Obama’s supporters are enthusiastic too. And no, I’m not comparing the Governor to Obama, I’m comparing fools. This fool has simply worn out his welcome on this subject – and he did it a long time ago.

He made the categorical statement that anyone who filed an Ethics Act complaint against her if she accepted a gift worth over $1000 was an “idiot.” To which I replied that he was a fool. She’s the one who carries on about how ethical she is and how she cleaned up the “old boys” and reformed the ethics here. He holds forth on this all the time, so he should know that accepting such a gift on her own behalf would be a per se violation of the Ethics Act, in it’s pre-Palin form or its current form.

Except for the fact that neither I nor my clients need the additional controversy, I might file it myself; God knows her minions have threatened me and other people I know enough times with Ethics Act complaints. ‘Course, I didn’t start a legal defense fund and whine, I sat at this keyboard and wrote the Ethics Attorney and the Commissioner of Administration detailing all the ethics issues I’d like to discuss with witnesses under oath and in a public forum with the media present; haven’t heard from them since.
