Sarah Palin's wasteful ways | Salon News

After unauthorized spending of $50,000 to redecorate the mayor's office just after she took office, when confronted about her decision by a Wasilla City Council member, she said, "'I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't."

Just what we need, another arrogant 'decider' anywhere near the White House.

WAAHHHHHHH!

The looney left will do anything they can to throw BS attacks at her.

And the hatred, while disgusting, is typical behavior for those who call themselves "the party of tolerance". Lol, BS.

hmm

Other officials in the borough government -- the equivalent of county government in other states -- point out that Palin actually had very little executive responsibility, since the borough oversees many of Wasilla's vital functions.

"After all her boasting about her executive experience, what did she do?" asks a longtime borough official, who, like many in local circles, requested anonymity because of Palin's reputation for vengeance. "The borough takes care of most of the planning, the fire, the ambulance, collecting the property taxes. And on top of that she brought in a city manager to actually run the city day to day. So what executive experience did she have as mayor?"

more hmm


'Sarah Barracuda' -- she's proud of that name now, she uses it in her campaigns," said her former mentor. "But she got that name from the way she conducted herself with her own teammates. She was vicious to the other girls, always playing up to the coach and pointing out when the other girls made mistakes. She was the coach's favorite and he gave her more playing time than her skills warranted. My niece was on her team; she was a very good player. I used to sit there in the stands, and I would wonder, Why on earth is Sarah getting so much playing time?"

At least it's not a bunch of adulterers playing that 'family values' card

And I for one don't think Palin merits the energy required to hate, she'll soon be back in Alsaka as a mere footnote in history.

Hmmm, I get it, you feel left wing hypocrisy is better than right wing hypocrisy? Lol, that is funny, and actually, hypocritical.

And apparently Palin does merit the energy required to hate. Just look a couple of posts up from yours.

I'm not voting McCain, but watching the left go bezerk is quiet a treat.

I suggest YOU read MY post, I said "I for ONE", kinda takes the post above out of that play

And I dislike the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle but in the case of Palin I think McCain's just becomes inexcusable after chiding Barama for not picking Hillary, someone who'd been second best in vote gathering and has experience, WHERE did that concept go when HE was choosing a running-mate?
