McCain Aides Reveal Palin Flaws

Now that John McCain has lost, his aides are releasing all the tensions within the campaign, and some of Palin's gaffes that were covered up until now.

Highlights:
Palin didn't know Africa was a continent
Palin couldn't name all the countries in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Palin was entirely responsible for that $150,000 shopping, spree and the McCain camp was very angry about it
She actually spent more on those clothes, but convinced aides to let her use their credit cards.

Strains Between McCain and Palin Aides Go Public

Wasilla Project

Here is a great website from a group of Wasilla residents setting the record straight on Sarah Palin, mostly on her claims of being a Fiscal Conservative.

Wasilla Project

They have some great videos, including interviews with city council members, copies of press releases showing unprecedented spending, etc.

I will include the videos individually soon.

Senator Ted Stevens Found Guilty

Jury finds Stevens guilty on corruption charges

What does this have to do with Sarah Palin other than the great state of Alaska ? (Not being facetious, I really do love Alaska, I've been there 5 times). Sarah Palin also accepted campaign contributions from the same company as Ted Stevens. Okay, so Ted Stevens lied about it and Sarah Palin told the truth on her taxes, that's a big difference. But there is also a big difference between Obama working with Bill Ayers to raise money for impoverished schools and Obama palling around with terrorists. Important note, the charges against Bill Ayers were dismissed by the federal government in 1973, he is now a University Professor, was awarded Citizen of the Year by the city of Chicago, and was recently supported by over 3,000 professors from across the country in a petition.

RNC Spends $150,000 on Palin's Wardrobe, Hair, and Make-up

I wonder how much Joe Six-Pack spends on clothes, probably about the same, right ?

The expenses include $75,062 spent at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis and $41,850 in St. Louis in early September. The committee also reported spending $4,100 for makeup and hair consulting. The expenses were first reported by Politico.com.
The RNC also spent $4,902 at Atelier, a stylish men's clothing store in New York. Other purchases included a $92 romper and matching hat with ears for Palin's baby, Trig, at Pacifier, a baby store in Minneapolis.

The Education of Sarah Palin

Five Years, Four Universities, Three States. No one remembers.

Sarah Palin attended:
University of Hawaii Hilo (Never Enrolled)
Hawaii Pacific University
Northern Idaho University
University of Idaho
Matanuska-Susitna College (Community College)

"I don't remember her," said Roy Atwood, Palin's academic advisor at the University of Idaho.

All of this is from an article, Sarah Palin's college years left no lasting impression.

Other fun facts:
Although Sarah Palin is known for placing third in the 1984 Miss Alaska Pageant, she failed to place in any Idaho Beauty Pageants.
And although Palin explains her college jumping due to financial troubles, she paid for college through loans and beauty pageants, no academic scholarships. And one wonders why she would pay the heavy price of out-of-state tuition when the University of Alaska has a much better reputation.

The Whales Win

Against Sarah Palin's best efforts, the Beluga whale has been placed on the Endangered Species List.

Young Earth Creationist ?

We all know that Sarah Palin believes creationism should eb taught alongside Evolution in science class, but did you know that she also personally believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old ?!?
