Don't miss this one - Palin ran Ted Stevens' 527
Certainly, the next post is the big news, but, it should also not be missed that Sarah Palin, "reformer" and "maverick," was the director of Ted Stevens' 527 group.
Also today, we find out her husband has a decades old DUI.
It's now officially press "open season" on Palin.
(And these are just the stories they've gotten in 72 hours....)
The Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call reported that several experts called the group an example of the fine legal line between a legal effort to conduct political activity and then-new prohibitions against raising unlimited soft-money.

So, will the media figure out that the only corruption Gov. Palin was opposed to was the corruption that didn't benefit her?

Read the quote.
It was on the "fine legal line...."
So, it wasn't corruption, just fronting a barely/dubiously legal group....

Actually, I was kinda doing a guilt by association with Stevens, not that her 527 was technically illegal.
While Palin was turning on state party pols, she was ingratiating herself to the Washington party pols. I'm wasn't suggesting in this comment that Palin did anything corrupt, but that she had no problem throwing her energies into helping her corrupt politicians (Stevens, Young) while turning on on those corrupt pols (Murkowski, et al.) who were in her way, if you will.
And I was just reacting without having read the linked article first.

I was trying sarcasm, but I don't write it well. (I need a sarcastic font.)
I mean, who travels 6,000 miles to Washington to lobby their Congressman and Senator when they come home every 45 days or so?
Who hires a lobbyist for a town of 10,000?
She was definitely climbing.

So here's the thing; The Fundies will like her because she's a Fundie too. But she's one of those nasty aggressive women, certainly not subordinate to her husband. She leaves here babies at home so she can pursue her career. She has been Delilah to so many good Alaska Republican MEN.
She espouses Fundie social dogman, but she acts like one of those, eeewww, Feminists. As the earthquake of her selection subsides, is the Fundie base settle into a state of being less energized than they were on Friday?

I kinda like "dogman."
And, no, the fundie base is blind. That's what makes them good fundies.
