Palin Backer Wanted to Pay the Clintons to be Friends With Sarah.
John Coale, husband of Fox’s Greta Van Susteren, who is oddly bipartisan and likes getting to know powerful female politicians and promoting their careers in a way that borders on the creepy, tried to be a matchmaker to the stars. He figured if Sarah Palin used the legally allowed $5000 from her PAC money to pay off some of Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt, then Democrats and Independents would like her more, and wouldn’t pick on her so much. Apparently, after he sobered up and still thought it was a good idea, he came to Alaska with his wife to see Todd Palin…
The Audacity of Hype! Palin Signs Book Deal. But is it Legal?
Well she’s gone and done it. She’s had them written about her, she’s tried to get some pulled off library shelves, but now the Governor will have one of her very own. A book! Reports are now out that Sarah Palin has signed a deal with HarperCollins. “There have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate, and it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are and what we stand for and what Alaska is all about,” Palin said in an interview today in which…
Palin Cancels Friday Night Date With Dog Barbecueing Jew Counter.
You know….sometimes when I type headlines, I really really wish they weren’t true. I cannot emphasize enough how much that is the case in this instance. No matter how much I bang my head on the desk, this guy just won’t go away. First let me start with a disclaimer. Perhaps I should have said “former dog barbecueing jew counter” because those things happened a long time ago. So, you know… if you’re inclined, you can just move beyond that fact and let bygones be bygones. Hey, we all did crazy stuff in our youth. I’m sure there are many former dog…
Election Night With the Croft Campaign.
Well, by the time I got there, the Croft crowd at the Anchor Pub wasn’t very happy. I wouldn’t say it was somber, but there was definite disappointment in the air. Eric Croft made a nice speech, and thanked all the appropriate people, and there was food, and good company. But, the spectre of Dan Sullivan loomed large and hung heavy in the room. Everyone was kind of shaking their heads. They know what’s ahead for the next three years. Sullivan held his nose, talked like a centrist, and now has gotten elected. It will be interesting when people get…

Citizens Against Dan Sullivan Get Vocal
I was puttering around the house yesterday, and the phone rang. I ran over and got it just before the answering machine picked up. “Hello?” I said, out of breath. “Hello, this is Allan Tesche,” came the voice on the other end of the phone. My first thought was, “Wow. Wonder why Allan Tesche is calling me?” My second thought was, “Oh, Jeez…I hope I didn’t spell his name wrong.” Then I realized it was a robocall. Robo-Allan let me know about Dan Sullivan, mayoral candidate and part owner of a local pub drinking after hours with an employee, and sending…
