Dog-gone-it-erl!Sarah Palin has been governor for such a short time that she’s only got a few dozen scandals to her name, and the one America loves best is called “Troopergate,” because, hey, -gate!

Troopergate involves Palin being a crazy white-trash nut who somehow becomes governor (of Alaska, but still!) and then weirdly fires the state’s Public Safety Commissioner (because he wanted to limit the humiliation of rape victims, who totally deserved it) and then she also got a state trooper fired, because said trooper had once been married to Palin’s sister. Probably somebody stole somebody’s pot plants, too. These people, good lord. Anyway, the judge says the investigation will continue. PRISON FOR PALIN. [Anchorage Daily News]

How could America’s Sweetheart Hockey Mom be involved in such tomfoolery. Clearly Biden’s behind it because he’s ya know in the tank for Obama.

Has she tried winking at the judge?

Strictly for the Tardcore October 3, 2008 at 10:11 am

Jesus, can we fit another judge in this tank? We’re running out of room, here!!!

JamesMichaelCurley October 3, 2008 at 10:11 am

Tomorrow’s headline, “Palin fires Branchflower, Hires Judge Bork to conduct investigation.”

Terry October 3, 2008 at 10:14 am

Not pot plants. She’s from Wasilla, they’re on the meth up there.

grendel October 3, 2008 at 10:15 am

Say it ain’t so, Sarah! You trollopy-meth-cunt…

[re=120521]Formerly Preferred[/re]: Winking won’t do it this time. She’ll have to uncross then recross her legs ala Sharon Stone in “Basic Instinct”.

Liberty is the legal arm of the Free Market Foundation, which is associated with evangelical leader James Dobson’s Focus on the Family

That’s pretty much all you need to know about Palin’s legal team.

Lazy Media October 3, 2008 at 10:23 am

Krauthammer is totally in the tank now. That tank has got to be getting kind of gamey.

Ha ha. Idiot doesn’t know how Hail Mary passes work. You don’t get three per game, Chuck, it’s one, max.

I thought she did great in the debate last night… I’m definitely supporting her for Vice President of the PTA.

monty October 3, 2008 at 10:28 am

I hate to pick but the trooper didn’t get fired

SayItWithWookies October 3, 2008 at 10:28 am

[re=120533]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: She showed a clear knowledge of cliches and a facility with vague generalizations. That has “ready to lead” written all over it. As in “ready to lead a half-dozen pink miniature poodles at the circus.”

Mad props (that’s how the kids are phrasing it these days, isn’t it?) to this chart-climber with a bullet:

Wouldn’t it be ironic if a Troopergate-related lawsuit eventually reaches the US Supreme Court? At least then, she’d have an answer for Katie’s super-duper tough questions.

Hopey dont play that game October 3, 2008 at 10:36 am

Can’t wait to see how Dickless Nixon squirms out of this one. I hear wedding bells for a knocked up teen…

SayItWithWookies October 3, 2008 at 10:36 am

[re=120532]Lazy Media[/re]: There’s also this:

McCain threw blind into the end zone to a waiting Sarah Palin. She caught the ball. Her subsequent fumbles have taken the sheen off of that play…

Geeze. At least when George Will talks about baseball, he shows an understanding of the game. I think Krauthammer’s gridiron knowledge comes from Jethro’s Folksy Metaphor Dictionary.

President Beeblebrox October 3, 2008 at 10:39 am

Between this and the Ted Stevens trial narrowly escaping being dismissed due to the prosecutors forgetting to produce documents in discovery, it’s not a good day for Alaska Republican politicians… lol wut?

Tommy Says Soooo October 3, 2008 at 10:40 am

Somebody forgot to slip him the Alaskan Chalupa, if you know what I mean….and I think that you do.

Cape Clod October 3, 2008 at 10:40 am

Betcha she just refuses to answer the questions the investigation asks of her. A tactic that has fueled her newly found soaring credibility.

President Beeblebrox October 3, 2008 at 10:42 am

PS: Glad to see that teh Khristianz have such a keen interest in whether the investigation goes forward!

The Texas-based Liberty Legal Institute, which helped represent the five Alaska Republican legislators who sued to stop the investigation, said that it planned to appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court. … The Liberty Legal Institute said Thursday’s ruling is a dangerous decision and declared that “Judge Michalski is the same judge who ruled in 1998 that same-sex marriage is a fundamental right, a decision subsequently overruled by a constitutional amendment approved by the voters of Alaska.”

Liberty is the legal arm of the Free Market Foundation, which is associated with evangelical leader James Dobson’s Focus on the Family, and lists its guiding principles as limited government and promotion of Judeo-Christian values.

if Palin goes to prison, it’ll be a great chance for her to get those lip tattoos finished…

Lazy Media October 3, 2008 at 10:44 am

[re=120552]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Srsly. Guy has no excuse; football is part of the state religion of DC. What really happened is that Walnuts, like any good Navy qb, audibled to the option, rode the dive fake really well to Mittens, who was tackled by half the press corps, froze the end with a wiggle and pitched to Palin, who tiptoed down the sideline for a first down at the 18. But he’s right that the drive stalled due to a series of fumbles and stupid penalties.

shortsshortsshorts October 3, 2008 at 10:46 am

Troopergate should end. If it continues, it only tells people that Palin has executive experience.

Cape Clod October 3, 2008 at 10:46 am

[re=120552]SayItWithWookies[/re]: You’re right. You can’t ‘Fumble’ after you’ve caught a ‘Pass’ in the end zone. That’s called a ‘Touchdown.’ But then again we’re talking about ‘Krauthammer’, and he’s a ‘Fucking’ ‘Moron’.

grendel October 3, 2008 at 10:50 am

[re=120532]Lazy Media[/re]: Haha:

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously said of Franklin Roosevelt that he had a “second-class intellect, but a first-class temperament.” Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self-definition — do you really know who he is and what he believes? Nonetheless, he’s got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament. That will likely be enough to make him president.

What a way with backhanded compliments!

bentcorner October 3, 2008 at 10:50 am

Doesn’t Sarah’s ex-trooper in law still have his job? I don’t think he got fired.

grendel October 3, 2008 at 10:51 am

[re=120570]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Yes, Cheney-esque executive experience.

Matt Cvetic October 3, 2008 at 11:16 am

Say it ain’t so, Alaska with the finger-pointing and the looking backwards, you betcha.

Now that I’ve moderated my drinking enough to take the occasional hit of crystal meth and alternate that with some crack and a speedball every so often, I imagine I’ll be able to make it to the polls in 2012 to vote for the Sarah Palin/ Kitty Harris ticket.

Miller October 3, 2008 at 1:09 pm

Let’s see how that folksy nonsense pablum works in a Supermax prison when you’re trying to fight off the bull dykes with a shiv in the lunch room, Sarah. I don’t have high hopes for any bon mots about “Thanks but no thanks to the bridge to nowhere”.

And the case is becoming more interesting: http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/troopergate-witness-flips-like-a-pancake/

Apparently Ms. Moose and First Dude may be directly implicated in attempting to have the vile trooper’s workman’s comp denied.

Remember, it’s usually the cover-up that gets the miscreant in real trouble. I’m hoping that the whole McCain criminal organization gets tangled up in this.

October 10th!

Palin could lose the election and lose her governorship in the span of a few short weeks! She will go from PTA president to Prison Trustee in almost record time!!

azw88 October 3, 2008 at 1:28 pm

[re=120580]bentcorner[/re]: Yes, the ex-in-law is stil in the law, it was his boss that was fired… over fiscal matters…. you know, he had just ONE too many employees on his staff….
