I love that. Actually, though, Palin herself incorporated a "consulting firm" and called it "Rouge Cou" (or a "classy way of saying Redneck" as Palin put it), not knowing of course that in French the adjective follows the noun...the "business" was said never to have been operational and made no money.

a few million of us could've told you this would happen, McDoofus. I hope the GOPers never learn!

Wasilla hillbillies! THAT will go over well in the Red States. Ha!
My favorite Palin story of the day was also reported by Newsweek;
<<At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. "I'll be just a minute," she said.>>

Even as we read this, Pat Buchanan is smacking his head against his desk and wailing, "Why wasn't I there? Why? Why?"

TalkLeft has the story, including the invoices. and--most interesting!--the address of the stool pigeon organization that got stuck with most of the bills.
Particularly heinous is to ask low-level staffers to put the purchases on their own credit cards. I mean, even if they are Palin staffers, they are probably young and unreimbursed 24%-interest balances will mess up their credit forever.

Link? I went lookin', and couldn't find it... I really really want to slaver over the invoices. Agree about the poor staffers, that is just WRONG.

This woman sure knows how to budget and stretch the dollar, especially when it is someone else's. A bit of a freeloader, eh? Well, the republicans own her lock, stock and barrel.

A great Bobby Jr. quote... Kennedy compared the sensation of Tuesday night to the "kind of feeling that the French had and the Belgium and the Scandinavians had when Europe was liberated."

On Wednesday, Politico reported that Obama was strongly considering putting Kennedy at the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Wow! Awesome place for him!! And how cool to have a Kennedy back in a Presidential Administration...

Wow! Great info coming out! And so it begins...the deluge of stories that will start pouring from the angry members of the campaign, I love it! The more they can come out with, the more she'll be relegated to the frozen tundra of Alaska and we here in the lower 48 will never have to see her face again..
I want her to become a question in Trivial Pursuit and just go away. But not before some more juicy gossip.
You betcha...

Should we act surprised? Not Even!
As the World Turns in Alaska
The Republic of Alaska separatist Government should dig in. Sarah will NEVER AGAIN be lost to the public. She loves the attention! She will have a frequent flow of reporters, investigators and pranksters. That absolutely wonderful. She deserves it!
When Steven's is thrown out of the Senate, arrested and sent to prison look for Palin to appoint herself as the Senator from Alaska... Her husband Todd would probable run for Governor...
While the pundits try and "shape" the election results into something favorable for conservatives, the winds of change start blowing......GOP Civil War Begins, Quietly

I have been wondering how to fill the void in my life that will open up when I no longer have to check election polling web sites a dozen or more times a day. Thank goodness we will still have Sarah Palin to kick around for a while!

Just think of the looting and plunder she could have done as VP...Well, it still beats bombing Iraq with bales of banknotes.

Just think about all those women who, right after the GOP convention got a crush on her and ordered those expensive Japanese glasses she wears, and started styling their hair like her...Palin sheeple.
Gawd, I'd be so embarrassed...but they're probably all stupid Rethugs anyway.

They thought of her as "Wasilla Hillbillies".....yet they still tried to foist her on the American people as well-qualified to be VP and POTUS.
Shameful. No...disgusting. No.....repulsive. Damn - I just can't find the right word

What is the surprise here? She's being investigated for putting her family on the state's dole for vacations. She involves the state in family disputes. Calling her a hillibilly is a slam against hillbillies. She a common thief. Low grade trailer trash. She probably thought she had won the jackpot. Her parents should be ashamed of the thing they raised; although after seeing her father proudly proclaiming he taught her how to field dress a moose, I'm not so sure.

Am I supposed to pity these people????? WTF. They rip out the Amex and Diners to buy Todd the Tool a suit any TV Preacher would covet, then Sara strolls away from the sale rack to the Couture Room for her Champagne Fitting complete with hors doeuvres, Then she goes to the Teen Scene Salon for her PreChristmas Blowout for her gals (I'll be merciful and leave lil Trig out of this)..............and we're supposed to cluck cluck for these cretins? GO away you cache of asses--------go lick your perceived wounds, start again by taking a good look at yourself, and when you realize that you were on the wrong side all along, THEN maybe we'll talk

I have a serious question about WHO paid for this shopping bimbo's excursions? I read this story this morning and didn't get it much thought BUT think about it, something doesn't add up.
If you remember we were told the RNC paid for the shopping spree, but read the article A WEALTHY DONOR PAID FOR THE CLOTHES. Is this legal, she accepted over $150,000 from a wealthy donor?

I am so not surprised by her behavior. She feel entitled to whatever she can scam or grab. Power a Louis Vuitton purse for Piper.........whatever.

The more I learn about Palin the more I jump on the "Palin in 2012" bandwagon. She's been a godsend to the Democrat Party...

I'm kinda with you on that... She's done more for opening the eyes of the nation to what the Repubs have been up to --- and she's done it unwittingly with a wink and a "you betcha"... LOL

Yeah, and if she actually ran in 2012 then, heaven forbid, she'd be forced to have a real press conference. What a total disaster that would be! Can you just imagine her rambling in front of a full press corp?
PALIN IN 2012!

Sarah certainly accomplished a killing in goods for herself and family in the very, very short period of being named candidate for VP . . . . Am I surprised? Emphatic NO. She accomplished this in her job as Mayor of Wasilla , worked pretty good . . . . that created the realization it would work for the good people of Alaska to pick up the tab for she and her family once named Governor. Again, it works , no questions asked. Now we get to Fed level where there is really big money to be had . . . . You guessed it, right on cue she took full advantage and broke the bank!

I'm looking forward to a long and very ugly law suit. A witch hunt, where the party tears it self in two, along the lines of pro and anti Palin supporters. I think if we had a multi party system this would have already happened.
