Alaskan bloggers aren't happy with Governor Diva

By GottaLaff


There are some very angry bloggers in Alaska right now. Once again, as is her habit and practice, Sarah Palin has done everything she can to show what an inept, simpleminded, self-serving little fool she is.

Let's start with a post by one of my favorite bloggers, Celtic Diva. She's written many a time about Palin's stumping in Georgia for Saxby Chambliss, so please follow her links to catch up on background and earlier posts. Meantime, here's her latest:

In a previous post, we've questioned the discrepancies between the reported-news timeline and Palin Communications Director Bill McAllister's many versions of the Governor's schedule for today's trip. This latest "outside" venture sees her campaigning for the disgusting hero-slimer and racist pig Saxby Chambliss in Georgia. She'll start at a mysterious fundraiser on Sunday (that they haven't acknowledged, but it was reported by AP and the info from CNN is on Saxby Chambliss's site). Monday, she'll be campaigning with him at four stops in Georgia from dawn to dusk. Then, she'll be meeting with the National Governor's Association and President-elect Obama on Tuesday.

The questions arise as a result of the yet-to-be-updated claim from Bill McAllister that Sen. Chambliss will pay for the "side trip to Georgia."

Next, we have Shannyn Moore's take on Gov. Diva's ignoring the needs of her state while she indulges in her little photo-oppy Georgia romp:
Palin will stump for Chambliss, the draft-evading incumbent Republican who waged a notoriously misleading campaign against a decorated war hero, at rallies Monday in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Perry, Georgia. Palin has been back in Alaska at work for only a few days since running for vice president.

Alaskans need our Governor here earning her salary and working on key problems facing Alaska families,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Patti Higgins.

Alaska is facing significant challenges, Higgins said, including:

  • Oil prices have dropped dramatically to about $45/bbl from the peak of $144/bbl in July, which threatens the state budget.
  • Alaskans are paying some of the highest prices for gas in the nation, averaging $2.87 per gallon, while the national average is $1.91.
  • The state’s oil production continues to decline, due to falling prices and mature fields.
  • The global credit crunch and falling natural gas prices threaten the Alaska gas line.
  • The State is failing to meet its constitutional obligation to take care of public education as shown by the high drop out rates and the low graduation rates.
  • Many Medicare patients cannot find doctors.
  • There is continued flight from rural villages.
  • Alaska faces the prospect of reduced federal dollars from Washington, D.C.

Enough is enough. Palin is derelict in her duties as governor. Time to get out the buttons that say “Where’s Sarah?”
Hmm. If Palin can't fulfill her duties as governor, how could she ever hope to come close to achieving even a semblance of competence in a higher office?

We haven't heard a peep out of Joe the Plumber, though. Except for that whole book thing.

Except for that whole pitch man thing.
