Playing Fair with Palin Complaintants

Hi everyone…..

I figure it’s only right to be fair.  Last night I posted about Shannyn Moore, the Alaskan whose been appearing Olbermann lately and used as Olbermann uses many when it comes to Republican candidates.  I wanted to admit that she did in fact: a. allowed my comment that I shared with you all to be posted and b. responded to me via e-mail last night.

It said the following:

I have to get on the air, but want to address your statements.  I don’t work for a publication, but people have felt free to repost my writing in a few places, I have no control over where because I can’t keep up.

Sarah Palin and I spoke on the air the morning of her nomination.  I have differed many times on policy with her, and always had enough respect for the office that we have kept an on air discussion going for as long as she has been gov.  I know her well, and better than most.  I would hope you understand this is not a lack of respect.

Palin has been popular because even if Alaskans felt her policy was wrong, they felt like she was open and honest and they like that.  I liked that, hell, I loved that.  After years of corruption in this state, we welcomed it and rolled up our sleeves. 

She asked for and welcomed an investigation.  She did it on the air with me  All when neither she or anyone else knew of a VP nomination.  These investigators and legislators are neither partisan nor vindictive.  It is awkward.  This is about Alaska, not anywhere else.  Having lawyer teams come up here from either campaign is not welcome and will not be tolerated.  Lawyers who are not even members of the Alaska Bar are practicing and are getting the boot.

The new commissioner was only employed for 2 weeks, then given $10,000 to go away when it was discovered he had multiple sexual harassment offenses in his past. 

The tazer incident happened almost 2 years before it was reported.  It was only reported during a divorce.  The mother was in the room, as were 3 other boys, and the cartridge was taken out.  I think it was terrible, but I also know the boy said he was showing off for his friends and it did not hurt him.  This was part of a very messy divorce.  Please see the letter of rec. that Sarah wrote for Wooten.

I know Walt Monegan, he is a decent man.  He is very respected by Alaskans, and though a reason was not needed, several have been, and all debunked.  Walt is an Alaskan Native and has taken seriously our epidemic proportion of rape and incest – mostly alcohol realated.

I am an independent.  I am very concerned about the state of the country, and want to be able to talk to people who don’t agree with me about policy and still reserve respect.  I hope you don’t feel disrespected.  This is an Alaskan issue, and we want to handle it.  If you read all the times Sarah said she wanted it, the only time it changed was with the nomination.  I feel bad for her, I know her to be someone who likes to not have filters on, and just say what is on her mind.  She steps in it all the time, and then laughs, and says “oh, I’m not that P.C.” and we all move along.  I think it must be hard on her to not fulfill her promises to Alaska. 

Take care, and thank you for spending so much time writing me.  If you have any other comments, I’d like to hear from you…

Take care,
Shannyn

Claiming to being an independent and titling your web-blog “Turning a red state blue” doesn’t really align well with the other.  I still think the tazering and threatening of Palin’s father was sufficient enough evidence to get the guy out of there immediately.  Plus I’ll be looking for sources on the replaced commissioner paid $10,000.  If he is a sexual offender, I certainly hope they aren’t using him as the source!

Especially seeing as liberals are using the e-mail hacking to detour from “Palin’s e-mail was hacked” to “Sarah might have conducted government business on her personal e-mail.”

You folks can be the judge though.

Liberal Softballs

Katie Couric and Chris Matthews are experts at throwin’ ‘em. 

I don’t typically watch Katie Couric.  I like my FOX and that’s usually the way it is.  But when she had Joe Biden on, it was like watching a bad train wreck: I couldn’t stand to watch, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away, either.  I caught a quote that a reader on Michelle Malkin’s site also caught, and I’m so glad I’m not the only one who picked up on it:

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed.  He said, ‘look, here’s what happened…’.” 

I actually had to check my facts after that.  I thought to myself, “whoa, waitaminit…I thought the marked crashed in 1929.  Wasn’t FDR elected after that…?”  So I pulled out my mountain of history textbooks and found the entry on the big stock market crash.  HERBERT HOOVER was the president, the crash happened in 1929, and Roosevelt was elected because Hoover was seen, after this, as inept.  On top of all of this, television wasn’t invented until 1938.  So I was correct when I heard all this and scratched my head, and kudos to Malkin for posting it.  I know I’m not crazy.

Never again will I question my knowledge just because I hear a well-liked politician say something that contradicts it.

Moreover…is this really the guy Democrats want to elect as the Vice President?  If he’s the brains of the operation, I don’t even wanna know what Obama is!
