But now I have a reason to get off the couch. John McCain has selected in Governor Sarah
Palin an exciting, young, energetic and attractive woman....

Greenwich Diva Has A Question For The Very Sweaty Greenwich Guy.....
Was Governor Sarah Palin always against the Bridge to Nowhere?by Claudette RothmanBy now we all know that Governor Sarah
Palin was against indicted Senator Ted Stevens bridge to nowhere, but what most of us did not know was on October 25
th, 2006 during her race for Governor The Anchorage Daily news asked her
5. Would you continue state funding for the proposed
Knik Arm and
Gravina Island bridges?
And her answer was:
Yes. I would like to see Alaska’s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now–while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.
So, it is quite clear that she was NOT always against wasting tax dollars
As of yesterday, Governor
Palin proudly had an endorsement from the recently indicted Senator Ted Stevens on her website, but it was quickly removed after Senator McCain announced that she was going to be his running mate.
Thank goodness for you tube! Take a look at Governor
Palin as she proudly accepts the endorsement from the now indicted Senator Stevens during her gubernatorial race in 2006 ...

Chris Fountain Adds His Two Cents Worth
To The VP Debate
Upon returning and checking my email I was struck by the number of missives from my "liberal" friends who have been sent absolutely around the bend by this
Palin VP announcement. Greenwich Diva, run by a (black, female) friend of mine, has been forwarding every misogynist, sexist piece of trash she and her
Kos friends can dig up - one day it accuses the poor Governor of lying about the parentage of the latest addition to her family and trying to hide her own daughter's pregnancy, the next it's accusations that
Palin is an unfit mother who
caused the poor infant's Down Syndrome by neglecting prenatal care. I've now read attacks on her figure, her hairstyle and even her support of gay rights (the latter, interestingly enough, purports to be from a conservative organization but web
sleuthers tracked it back to
defendobama.com).
I love liberals, especially those who are my friends, but why is it that they so readily resort to the very tactics they - inaccurately - accuse conservatives of using? Posting pictures of a 16-year-old girl that "prove" she was pregnant while her mother was not (the picture turned out to have been taken 2 years before the actual birth, but why let that get in the way of a good story?), dismissing a female candidate because of her hairstyle and taste in glasses, calling her a bimbo (see Maureen Dowd - I won't) and bashing gays, which I assume is supposed to work up conservatives, all just show that sexist, stereotypical hate lies just beneath the surface of these folks. Scratch them slightly and it all wells up. I don't pretend to know the female mind but if my pals on the left keep this up, they just might drive some women voters away from the Obama camp in disgust

Is Sarah "I AM A Desperate Attempt To Pull In Hillery Supporters" Palin Ready And Able To Step In For John "I Am Half A Heart Beat Away From Meeting My Maker" McCain.
ADMITS MISTAKE AND
RESPONDS WITH .....
NEWS THAT INDICATES THAT BRISTOL'S BOYFRIEND MIGHT BE GETTING A GOOD OLD FASHIONED REPUBLICAN SHOTGUN WEDDING.....
ST. PAUL (CNN) - Bristol Palin, the 17 year old daughter of Sarah Palin, is pregnant and will keep the baby and marry the father, a senior McCain aide confirmed to CNN Monday.
McCain was aware of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy before he chose her mother for his running mate, the aide said.
“Senator McCain knew this and felt in no way did it disqualify her from being vice president,” said the aide. “Families have difficulties sometimes and lucky for her she has a supportive (Alaskan Mother Who Is Mighty Handy With A Shotgun) family.”
Bristol Palin, a senior in high school, is about 5 months along, in her second trimester, according to the aide.
The aide said they decided to reveal this information now because of rampant Internet rumors that Sarah Palin’s four month old baby, who has Down’s Syndrome, was actually Bristol’s.
“In the course of correcting that, we needed to get the truth out,” said the McCain aide.
In a statement from Sarah and Todd Palin, they said they were “proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents.”
They also asked the media to respect their daughter’s privacy.
The McCain aide insisted a key point to keep in mind is that Bristol decided to keep the baby, a decision “supported by her parents.”

So now the Left Wing wackos like Greenwich Diva are suggesting that Sarah
Palin is the grandmother of Trig, her youngest child, suggesting that she is covering for her daughter's pregnancy. The Diva will defend herself by pointing out that she is merely re-posting an article that is already out there. Not good enough Diva.
Vile attacks like this point out just how vicious the supposedly enlightened left wing really is.
This is gutter politics at its very worst. The left does not care who gets hurt in their quest for power. Whether it is trashing soldiers like John
Murtha has done,
Democrat Congressmen finding humor in the prospect of a hurricane hitting during the Republican convention, or attacking a defenseless 16 year old girl.
Keep it up left wingers. I know you entertain each other, but you come across to the rest of us as catty schoolgirls attacking the most popular girl. There is nothing quite so scornful as an adolescent girl.....

Does Greenwich Guy Know That His Little
Alaska Vixen Had A Trooper Gate Scandal?
Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday revealed an audio recording that shows an aide pressuring the Public Safety Department to fire a state trooper embroiled in a custody battle with her sister....
Palin, who has previously said her administration didn’t exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten, also disclosed that members of her staff had made about two dozen contacts with public safety officials about the trooper.
“I do now have to tell Alaskans that such pressure could have been perceived to exist although I have only now become aware of it,” Palin said.
But Palin said her decision to fire Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan last month had nothing to do with his refusal to dump trooper Mike Wooten.
The governor said evidence of what she called a “smoking gun” conversation, and other calls made by her aides, only recently surfaced as the attorney general started an inquiry at her request into the circumstances surrounding her firing of Monegan. Palin wanted the review because a special investigator hired by the Legislature is about to investigate the firing and a legislator has been quoted in a newspaper story talking about impeachment.
The majority of the calls came from Palin’s chief of staff at the time, Mike Tibbles, according to information gathered by the state attorney general’s office. Attorney General Talis Colberg and
Palin’s husband, Todd, also contacted Monegan about the trooper.
Palin said she’d only known about some of the contacts and never asked anyone on her staff to get in touch with state public safety officials about Wooten.
“Many of these inquiries were completely appropriate. However, the serial nature of the contacts could be perceived as some kind of pressure, presumably at my direction,” she said.
Palin said the “most disturbing” was a phone call Frank Bailey, the governor’s director of boards and commissions, made to trooper Lt. Rodney Dial in February. The Public Safety Department recorded the call, as it does routinely.
Palin, who said she’d only just learned of the call, released a recorded copy of it to the press on Wednesday. In it, Bailey clearly pressures the lieutenant.
‘HORRIBLE RECRUITING TOOL’
Bailey told him during the conversation that Palin and her husband want to know why Wooten still has a job.
“Todd and Sarah are scratching their heads, ‘Why on earth hasn’t this, why is this guy still representing the department?’ He’s a horrible recruiting tool, you know,” Bailey told the lieutenant.
Bailey made several accusations against Wooten in the call, including that he lied on his application. Dial asked Bailey how he knew about any issue with the application.
“I used to be a recruiter. I know a lot of times that information is extremely confidential,” Dial told him.
Bailey replied he was reluctant to say but saw the application as part of Wooten’s worker’s compensation claim. Bailey, later in the call, then brought up Monegan again.
“I’m telling you honestly, you know, she really likes Walt a lot, but on this issue, she feels like it’s, she doesn’t know why there is absolutely no action for a year on this issue. It’s very, very troubling to her and the family. I could definitely relay that,” Bailey said.
Palin said Bailey wasn’t speaking on her behalf and his comments were “just wrong.”
Bailey said in a Wednesday interview that no one asked him to make the call and he doesn’t know why he indicated in the call that he was speaking on behalf of the Palins. He said he was calling lieutenant Dial, who was the state troopers liaison to the Legislature and had volunteered on Palin’s campaign, in order to try to get information about the troopers union and then brought up Wooten.
Bailey said he’d heard at a security briefing right after Palin was elected that Wooten had made a threat against Palin’s family. He said he also had casual conversations with Todd Palin about the trooper. Bailey said Todd had expressed “general frustration with the situation” but never asked him to do anything about it.
“My fear was (Wooten) could fly off the handle and do something that was irreversible,” Bailey said. “That concern, that fear, has always been in the back of my mind.”
Palin said it’s under discussion whether Bailey is going to keep his job in the administration.
COLBERG’S PHONE CALL
Attorney General Colberg also disclosed Wednesday that he’d made a call about Wooten. Colberg said he called Monegan several months ago after Todd Palin asked him about “the process” for when state troopers make death threats against the first family.
“I made an inquiry and was told by commissioner Monegan that there was a process in place and that it was handled and it was over. And I reported back to the first gentleman that there was nothing more that could be done,” Colberg said.
Palin said her husband also contacted Monegan about a threat made by Wooten but backed off when Monegan indicated he couldn’t get into the matter.
The family had alleged the threat in 2005, before Palin became governor. They said Wooten had told Palin’s sister he would shoot their father if he got the sister a lawyer.
Wooten denied saying anything like that. But a trooper investigation concluded he did, although it wasn’t a crime because he didn’t threaten the father directly. Wooten’s actions did violate trooper policy, the investigator found.
Palin said she was meeting with the investigator hired by the Legislature, Steve Branchflower, on Wednesday and would turn over everything gathered as part of the attorney general’s inquiry. The Bailey phone call was the only one that Palin singled out as being wrong. Assistant Attorney General Mike Barnhill said all the calls from then-chief of staff Tibbles, who is now running Sen. Ted Stevens’ re-election campaign, regarding Wooten looked to be appropriate.
“It’s absolutely appropriate that a chief of staff was checking on staff issues and personnel, policy and procedure,” Palin said.
Palin said no one from the Department of Public Safety — including Monegan before his firing — had complained they felt pressured regarding Wooten.
KOPP’S SEVERANCE PACKAGE
Colberg also disclosed Wednesday that Chuck Kopp, who Palin had appointed to replace Monegan as public safety commissioner, received a $10,000 state severance package after he resigned following just two weeks on the job.
It was in light of the fact that he left a comfortable 19-year career on the Kenai Peninsula and took a job that lasted less than two weeks,” Colberg said.
Kopp, the former Kenai chief of police, resigned July 25 following disclosure of a 2005 sexual harassment complaint and letter of reprimand against him.
Monegan said in a Wednesday interview that he didn’t get any severance package from the state.
WHY PALIN FIRED MONEGAN
Monegan was a Palin appointee, and she had a right to fire him for any reason. She’s previously refused to say exactly why she got rid of him, but laid out several reasons Wednesday, saying she’s decided to talk about it because Monegan is.
Palin said he wasn’t doing enough to fill state trooper vacancies and battle alcohol abuse issues. She said he “did not turn out to be a team player on budgeting issues.”
Palin said it’s fine to have debates during cabinet meetings over the budget but Monegan went further and indicated to legislators she wasn’t proposing enough spending. Palin’s acting chief of staff, Mike Nizich, said Monegan asked legislators for spending that hadn’t been authorized by the governor.
“The response he got was don’t come to us and ask for more money when you cannot fill the 56 or 58 trooper positions that were vacant,” Nizich said. “So he was making a pitch for additional funding when he couldn’t even fill what he currently had available to him.”
Monegan questioned that but declined to comment further, saying he’s already started talking to the special investigator hired by the Legislature to look into his firing.
