You knew it was coming. The Twitter Quitter thinks she smells blood in the water and goes on the attack.

From the Twit's Tweets:

Pres Obama: you're losing our future. No more pretending "with ever more manic protestations" that this could continue http://tgr.ph/qsHQqE

This is all part of the coordinated effort by the Right to undermine President Obama in the eyes of the American voters, since they believe they have wounded him politically with the protracted debt ceiling debate. So of course Palin feels she HAS to be one of the first ones to start throwing stones.

The article that Palin links to is this one in the Telegraph, which contains this rather misleading passage:

But the US has a very different historical experience from European countries, with their accretions of national remorse and class guilt: it has a far stronger and more resilient belief in the moral value of liberty and the dangers of state power. This is a political as much as an economic crisis, but not for the reasons that Mr Obama believes. The ruckus that nearly paralysed the US economy last week, and led to the loss of its AAA rating from Standard & Poor’s, arose from a confrontation over the most basic principles of American life.

Contrary to what the Obama Democrats claimed, the face-off in Congress did not mean that the nation’s politics were “dysfunctional”. The politics of the US were functioning precisely as the Founding Fathers intended: the legislature was acting as a check on the power of the executive.

While I may agree with this Janet Daley woman that the Founding Fathers wanted the legislature to act as check on the power of the executive, I CANNOT imagine that those early patriots would have embraced the idea of holding this country hostage, frightening the American people, and damaging our debt rating, all to make a political point.


And ultimately the Teabaggers' "never raise taxes" stance has only prolonged the problem by refusing to acknowledge that the country's credit card bill, which George W. Bush charged up like a Beverly Hills housewife who just discovered her husband is cheating on her, has to be paid off eventually, and you cannot pay it off by raising the retirement age or privatizing Social Security.

Eventually you need revenue to pay off this country's debt, and that means raising taxes.


But of course nothing that this Daley woman wrote really matters.

As most of us realize it was undoubtedly an article that somebody sent to Palin with a suggestion that she attach it to a tweet so that she could sound like she knows something about the economy. That way she could continue to convince the slowest learners on the planet that she is really going to launch a serious political campaign, and that they need to keep sending her money.

Organize4Palin is continuing to lay the foundation in Iowa so that the Governor can hit the ground running when she announces. Everyone who is working in Iowa for Organize4Palin is working on a volunteer basis and any dollar you can provide them is greatly appreciated.

Unsurprisingly these sad people are still convinced that Palin will announce either right before, or during her September 3rd speech to the Teabaggers in Iowa. As evidenced by comments like this one:

i've said this before and i'll say it again:
-SET MONEY ASIDE NOW. already have it ready to go, and don't touch it until she announces.
-EVEN SMALL AMOUNTS COUNT. don't say "my amount is so small, so i won't donate." there are many people who can only afford a small amount of money. if all those people were to donate those small amounts anyway... a large sum can be gathered together! even if it's just $10, imagine if 15 or 20 people donated that, that's an easy $200 for palin. so donate!!!
-SPREAD THE WORD. when she announces, kindly remind your friends on twitter, fb, blog, email, etc, to donate a little bit of money. don't be like bachmann and ask 100 times. XD but it would be good to spread the word to others.

Just when you thought September could NOT get any more entertaining!

Just for fun.

Since we are on the topic I will let you all know that I have been chasing some leads that I stumbled onto while doing research on the pictures from Monday's post, and I learned a rather interesting bit of information.

It should come as no surprise to most of you that Governor Palin was by no means camera shy.  In fact she was often far more interested in talking to the media, and having her picture taken in those days than actually doing her job. My understanding is that while it was very difficult to get Palin to attend important meetings, it was a breeze to get her to show up to events that would get her name and picture in the paper.

However according to a few sources Palin suddenly became camera shy right around the middle of March, and only showed up a handful of times in public venues, at which she only stayed for short periods of time making it very difficult for photographers to do their jobs. Of course the exception to this, was the Elan Frank video for which Palin seemed to have been quite comfortable allowing herself to be videotaped by the Israeli filmmaker. (It also should be noted that she may very well have thought that the footage would not be shown in the United States.)

This behavior seems to have continued right up until April 18, after which Palin went right back to her usual attention seeking behaviors.

In fact at least one of my sources said that looking back it almost seemed that she had something to hide. (And yes, this person is still on the fence about the faked pregnancy.)

I DID think to ask several people if they were struck by Palin's rapid weight loss after Trig was born, but they said, quite understandably, that they were mostly focused on the new baby, whom she took with her everywhere, and really never noticed anything about her physique postpartum.

Anyhow I am still chasing down leads, but I thought you all might enjoy that bit of behind the scenes info.

Congessman David Wu decides to resign, in response to allegations of sexual misconduct with 18 year old girl.

Months ago, Wu sent the lead image above of himself in a tiger suit to a female staffer in his campaign using his congressional Blackberry. The message contained no text, just the photo of Wu dressed like a tiger.

Courtesy of the Christian Science Monitor:

Rep. David Wu (D) of Oregon announced Tuesday that he will resign his seat, after allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter with a young woman.

“The well-being of my children must come before anything else,” said Representative Wu in a statement. 

“With great sadness, I therefore intend to resign effective upon the resolution of the debt-ceiling crisis," said Wu, who was elected to Congress in 1998 as the first Chinese-American in the House.

On Friday, Wu's hometown newspaper, The Oregonian, broke the story about his alleged encounter with an 18-year-old over Thanksgiving weekend last year. Wu told his senior aides that the encounter was consensual, the story reports.

This is what the Oregonian reported over the weekend:

A distraught young woman called U.S. Rep. David Wu's Portland office this spring, accusing him of an unwanted sexual encounter, according to multiple sources. 

When confronted, the Oregon Democrat acknowledged a sexual encounter to his senior aides but insisted it was consensual, the sources said. 

The woman is the daughter of a longtime friend and campaign donor. She apparently did not contact police at the time. 

One person who heard the voice mail described the woman as upset, breathing heavily and "distraught."
 
In the voice mail, the young woman accused Wu of aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior, according to sources with direct knowledge of the message and its contents. 

Reporters could not verify the young woman's age. Notes on Facebook over the past 18 months indicate she graduated from high school in 2010. California records show she registered to vote in August. 

I got a lot of flack back when I was saying that Anthony Weiner needed to resign, because people were arguing that what he did was consensual and not even really sex.  I imagine this time everybody will agree that Rep. Wu simply needs to leave office as soon as possible.

Personally I do not think he will be of much use in getting past this debt ceiling crisis, but he is definitely giving his party a black eye as long as he stays around in his role as a Democratic Congressman.

I do not know the full story here, and of course everybody is innocent until proven guilty, but my instincts tell me that this girl is the more believable party. Which means to me that Wu is potentially a VERY bad guy, and he needs to not only leave politics but to face charges of rape or sexual assault.

When it comes to hurting young women, ideology does not even enter the equation. I don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican, if you are a predator you need to pay for your crimes.

Eau De Grifter

 My understanding is that it is made from the broken dreams of teabaggers, the pitiful tears of her children, and the last of Todd's rapidly diminishing testosterone.

Somebody fixed Sarah Palin's movie poster for her. I bet she won't even thank them either.

 Now THAT is truth in advertising.

Secret Service to investigate hack of Fox News Twitter account.

From the Huffington Post:

The Secret Service said Monday it will investigate the hacking of Fox's political Twitter account over updates claiming that President Barack Obama had been assassinated.

Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie says the law enforcement agency whose job it is to protect the president will conduct a probe of the false postings and that "we will conduct the appropriate follow up."

Hackers broke into the FoxNewsPolitics account early Monday, leaving a series of six tweets reporting that Obama had been shot to death in Iowa and the shooter was unknown.
In a statement posted on its website, Fox News called the tweets "malicious" and "false."

"We will be requesting a detailed investigation from Twitter about how this occurred, and measures to prevent future unauthorized access into FoxNews.com accounts," said Jeff Misenti, vice president and general manager of Fox News Digital.

An online magazine at New York's Stony Brook University, Think, reported that initial posts around midnight indicated the Fox News Twitter account had been hacked by a group called the Script Kiddies. Harmless posts announcing the group's hacking of the Fox News account were followed by the false posts about Obama, according to Think.

For those of you who were offline yesterday and missed the initial story, you can get up to speed by visiting my post from July 4th.

Below are the offensive tweets:

Personally I hope they throw the book at these fuckers.

The only upside of this is that these tweets came from Fox News which nobody with half of a brain would trust as an accurate source of news anyhow.

Fox News Twitter account hacked. Tweets about Obama's assassination appear online.

Courtesy of PC World:

That is a disgusting thing to post, and I certainly do not see the humor in it.

I dislike Fox News as much as anybody, but this kind of crap is uncalled for, and joking that our President has been killed is completely indefensible.

Fortunately it appears that most people understood what was happening.

It's unclear if Fox News has control of its hacked Twitter account. The Fox News Politics homepage shows no mention of the hack, but the site did post a message alerting its reader to the false reports.

Despite the false reports coming out of the Fox News Politics Twitter account, online readers appear to be savvy enough to understand the messages are fakes and used the incident to lampoon Fox. In response to one of the false messages that read, "The President is dead. A sad 4th of July, indeed." Twitter user heydarguise said," Obviously thats fake tweet. Fox news would not be sad at passing of obama. IT would be party tyme."

Good Morning America's Robin Roberts has a request before her big interview with Bristol Palin tomorrow morning.

Just when you thought the RAM Tweets could not be any more scandalolus. Wrong again Spanky! Update!

This comes from the same guy who has been posting all of the other tweets from RAM, and the same guy who sent some of them to the Daily Caller.

In other words it looks legitimate, which would reinforce what I have believed about RAM's relationship with Palin all along, and WHY she has dropped off the face of the planet.

Update: Oops looks like it might have been too good to be true.  If THIS tweet is to be believed that is:

I also stumbled upon THIS interesting tweet from RAM alluding to a planned dinner with the Alaska bloggers that Phil Munger attempted to set up quite a while back, before RAM was officially working for Palin.

 I always KNEW she cancelled because of me. Not that it breaks my heart any.

Still it is kind of hurtful considering I am the ONLY one who seems to be actively trying to find out what happened to her.  I even put her face on a milk carton. (Well on the internet anyway.)

Remember if anybody sees her, first stifle your scream of horror, and then contact me immediately!

Sarah Palin responds to reports that she quit One Nation bus tour. Update!

On Twitter of course:

This is the Fox report which Palin links to in the tweet.

So essentially Sister Sarah doesn't say she did NOT quit the bus tour, just that she never said she HAD quit the bus tour. And until the Queen hands down her royal proclamation, everybody can just kiss her high and mighty heinie.

Didn't Palin just pull this same stunt when somebody suggested she was about to announce whether she was running for president or not?

See? Without RAM'S help she cannot even come up with an original response, so she has to use some version of the same one over and over again.

"Hey I didn't SAY anything, nobody knows what I am doing until I SAY what I am doing! That is if I even decide that I WANT to tell anybody what I am doing! So just sit there and shut up until I tell you what to think!"

At this point anybody who still supports this fraud should have their voter registration card impounded until after they have had a mental health evaluation and been deemed competent.  Somehow I don't think too many of them will make it through the screening successfully.

Update: Palin is in "Quitter Overdrive" as she cancels trip to Sudan as well.

Palin scrapped her visit to the North African country for scheduling reasons, several sources close to her said. She was planning to travel with Franklin Graham, the son of evangelical leader Billy Graham, as well as Fox News personality Greta Van Susteren to the July 9 independence ceremony of South Sudan, the sources said.

Okay Palin-bots, are your rationalization muscles all worn out yet? 

Just walk away while you have even a shred of self respect left, she is NEVER going to be who you so desperately want her to be.  Trust me, I live in Alaska, I KNOW!

Crap, I have to e-mail Joe McGinniss and tell him he was right.

Thanks a lot Sarah! You know I hate to be wrong.

Meghan McCain's response to Bristol the Pistol. And more lies are revealed about Sarah's little girl's book.

Courtesy of Meghan's Twitter account  McCainBlogette.

My response to Bristol Palin:



Update: The Daily Beast has more excerpts from Bristol's hit piece, and our instincts that this book was just a conduit for the things Sarah Palin was afraid to include in HER book are more accurate then we could have even imagined.

On her first time with Levi:

Despite being brought up in a Christian household determined to save herself until marriage, Bristol laments the fact that her virginity had been “stolen,” and as she surveys the evidence in the tent, soon realizes that “all of my plans, my promises, and my moral standards had disappeared in one awful night in a series of bad decisions.”

(By the way I have just learned that there was another couple in the tent during this incident of "stolen virginity" and that Bristol's story is pure bullshit.)

Attacking Mike Wooten, a family tradition:

First, back in 2003, Bristol witnessed Uncle Mike shoot a Taser gun at her cousin, Payton. As Payton was recovering from the shock, Uncle Mike looked over at Bristol and said, “Bristol, you’re next.” (Pg. 25) Bristol screams, and tells her mother about the incident. Later, it’s revealed that there were a bunch of citizen complaints against Mike, ranging from boozing in his patrol car to people claiming they witnessed him illegally killing an animal on a hunting trip. Later on, Uncle Mike carries out a very public affair with Bristol’s friend Jenna’s mother.

(If you want to learn the truth about What happened to Mike Wooten, just read Geoffrey Dunn's book.)

Covering for Sarah's lies about threats against the girls in Juneau.

They began by threatening Bristol and telling her to stay away from their boyfriends, and then, things got serious when some of Bristol’s classmates posted an Internet threat against Willow. “An eight-grade girl told twelve-year-old Willow that her Samoan brothers were going to gang-rape her,” said Bristol. (Pg. 67) Later, a boy posted on MySpace: “Bristol’s a slut when she’s drunk and a slut when she’s sober.” Bristol says these early bullying incidents helped her develop a tough exterior and handle all of the gossip about her family.

(We dispelled this bullshit lie way back in December 2009.)

On knocking boots with Levi:

When the school year ended in Juneau, Bristol returns to her hometown of Wasilla in the summer of 2007, and immediately reconnects with Levi. He treats her like a princess and showers her with gifts, including “Coach purses, nice rings, Abercrombie clothes, as well as Coach and Juicy rain boots.”  The two have sex again that summer, since she felt Levi had needs and, “If I wasn’t going to fill them, I feared he’d go back to his old ways.” The couple uses condoms. When summer ends, Bristol convinces her parents to let her stay in Wasilla, and despite Levi’s unfaithfulness—she witnesses his jacket on another girl—and is soon prescribed birth control, which “meant Levi and I could stop using condoms, and I could make sure I wouldn’t get pregnant.”

Not long after her mother gives birth to Trig Palin, a child diagnosed with Down syndrome—and a pregnancy she hid from the public until she was seven months pregnant—Bristol realizes that, despite being on birth control, she is over a month pregnant when she starts experiencing terrible cramps.

Okay seriously THIS is pathological!  Sarah is using her daughter to attack the people she hates on her behalf so that if anybody defends themselves she can claim they are attacking her children again.

She also has her pimping the family mythology to back up HER version of reality, so that folks will question the truthfulness of what Frank, Geoffrey, Joe, and Levi wrote in THEIR books. Not to mention what has been revealed in the blogs.

I cannot believe anybody would give her a pass on this transparent manipulation of her daughter.  Not anymore.

Why hasn't Sarah opened her piehole over Weinergate sooner?

Anthony Weiner has been under scrutiny for sending lewd pictures from his Twitter account.  All Republicans and many Democrats are calling for him to resign, which he has not. 

Personally I feel he should resign, since he used his official Twitter account to send those pictures, but I digress.  However I find it very interesting that Miss Family Values Sarah Palin has been mum about Weinergate until last night when Judge Napolitano interviewed her on FOX.  Why is that?

Is it because she was too preoccupied with the e-mail release?

Too busy planning her trip to Sudan?

Too busy trying to get Margaret Thatcher to grant a visit?

Or....

Maybe it's because she also has a philandering husband like Mrs. Weiner does and any comment will bring us bloggers out in force and shine the spotlight on her marriage.  But she certainly slammed Arnold Schwarzenegger, but then he refused to endorse her.  But Anthony would never endorse Sarah, so the silence is deafening.  BTW the charges against Shailey were dropped and she is free to spill her guts


Another thing...

No tweets from her in the past several days.  How refeshing.

Here she is on FOX.

Anthony Weiner resigns!

From the Guardian:

Twenty days after the scandal dubbed "Weinergate" erupted with the sending of a sexually suggestive photograph on Twitter, a rising star of the Democrats was forced to resign his congressional seat in the face of pressure from the highest levels of his party.

From having been ranked as a possible future Democratic leader and the frontrunner to become New York mayor in 2013, Anthony Weiner's fall from grace is spectacular and close to complete. He has spent his entire adult life in politics, having been elected in 1991 as the youngest councillor to serve in New York city then aged 27.

True to his character as an abrasive and at times antagonistic politician, Weiner, now 46, at first tried to lie his way out of the sex scandal he had provoked by sending lewd photographs of himself to several different women. When the rightwing blogger Andrew Breitbart revealed his actions on 28 May, Weiner initially claimed his Twitter account had been hacked into, later changing his story to say he wasn't sure whether the images of a semi-naked man were of him.

After further revelations emerged virtually every day of his sexually charged interactions, he went in front of the cameras on 6 June to admit that he had been involved through cyberspace with at least six different women. But even then he refused to stand down from his New York seat.

Weiner's resignation was made on the day that party leaders had been preparing to strip him of his powerful positions on congressional committees — a move which would have further humiliated and weakened him.

The official line taken by party leaders such as Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic chief in the House of Representatives who has called on him to resign, was that the scandal was distracting attention from important political debates such as the economy.

I just watched this on CNN. 

It was pretty sad even though I have been one of those saying that he had to make this choice all along.

There was some asshole in the audience yelling out insulting questions, that I assume is one of Howard Stern's douchebags.  That was uncalled for in my opinion, and I would have hoped that Weiner could at least have been given some respect on the day that he did what he needed to do for his party, for his family, and for his country.

Okay can we finally agree that Anthony Weiner should resign now?

Twit pic taken at House members gym

Courtesy of the New York Daily News:

TMZ published a new slew of squirm-inducing self-portraits, including several full-body shots taken in the House gym - some clothed, some not.

Several show Weiner showing off his naked body holding only his camera and his privates.

Another source close to Weiner said the congressman was surprised it took two weeks for the gym photos to surface.

Weiner shrugged off calls from top Democrats - including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz - worrying more about what his rank and file colleagues think, a source said.

The source said one person Weiner would listen to is his mentor, Sen. Chuck Schumer. Schumer says he is "heartbroken" but has stopped short of telling Weiner to quit.

The other person Weiner will take advice from - his wife, Huma Abedin - is in Africa with her boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Weiner is still convinced Abedin won't divorce him, and is still telling people she wants him to stay in Congress, sources said.

The lusty lawmaker is afraid of what Clinton, who has some experience with misbehaving husbands, may be whispering to Abedin, the source said.

The last two weeks have taken a toll on the congressman, who isn't sleeping and spends hours pacing his apartment, friends said.

Look I am a good progressive, I know that it is unfair that David Vitter gets to nail prostitutes and keep his Senate seat, I get all of that.  But come on!

How is this helping the Democrats remain credible when it comes to calling out Republicans on their hypocrisy? 

In my opinion there is NO way for Weiner to survive this, and as much as I may personally hate it, he simply has to respond to the calls for his resignation and take one for the team.

We have too much to do, and this is an enormous distraction.

As we sift through the vast Sarah Palin e-mail dump, she is throwing out a bright and shiny distraction for her supporters.

This was a tweet from Palin just a few hours ago.

By the way, just in case you missed it being repeated over, and over, and over again, Palin was the "CEO for the State." Which I guess is supposed to send a message to her supporters that she knows how to run a business just like Mitt Romney, and is therefore just as viable of a candidate. (Stupid Mitt Romney!)

So to sum up for the slower Palin-bots out there (Because I know sometimes repetition and gaudy imagery are not enough for you sad little people); Sarah Palin was the divine CEO of Alaska, who while still saturated in northern common sense, will be able to obliterate the enemies threatening our nation by shooting light beams out of her ass, at the same time she is fisting the hell out of the economy.

Let's see Margaret Thatcher do that!

And remember, the e-mails are just a Saul Alinsky style deception, that, through no fault of her own, Sarah Palin wrote before the spirit of Ronald Reagan infused her with super patriotic freedom juices. So pay them no mind, and don't forget to send your disability checks to SarahPAC.

Sarah Palin continues her whirlwind Teabagger financed tour of historical sights she does not understand. Update!

Today Sister Sarah and her family visited Ellis Island and the "Statute" of Liberty.

You know I have to say I find myself in agreement with The Puzzled Mama on this one.

I too much prefer the "Statute of Liberty" over the much less interesting Statute of Limitations or Statute of Frauds.  I mean how cool can they be if nobody even bothered to build a monument to them and place it on an island next to New York City?

You know if Palin is going to continue to be this difficult to educate, perhaps she needs to park that giant gaudy RV of hers and continue her educational tour with a more fitting mode of transportation.

Update: Proof that Palin reads these blogs:

The former Alaska governor also took some time to do some public parenting, making her daughter Piper offer an apology for pushing a cameraman during a previous stop. Palin had Piper hand out two flowers to cameramen and apologize.

I am not suggesting that it was THIS blog which embarrassed her enough to prompt Piper into making this public gesture, but I think we can rest assured she did not decide to do it all on her own.

Just let us know if you need anymore parenting tips Sarah.  We are here for you.

Ram gets the Taiwan animation treatment.

By the way it has now been ten days since Sarah Palin's biggest fan last tweeted.

Has anybody thought to start dredging Lake Lucille yet?

Sarah Palin's number one fan is just as vindictive as her "BigBoss." Update!

Somebody forwarded direct messages they received  from Rebecca Mansour to the Daily Caller. Oh THIS ought to be good!

Mansour sent these embarrassing and revealing missives as “direct messages” on Twitter to an online-only acquaintance approximately a year ago. The person who received the messages forwarded them to TheDC.

Here are a few examples of the kinds of things that ooze from the depths of RAM's twisted psyche.

RedState.com founder and CNN contributor Erick Erickson is “a total douchebag,” wrote Palin speechwriter and domestic policy adviser Rebecca Mansour in a May 22, 2010, message. “Greasy dumb ass with a talent for self-promotion. He threw himself in at the Gov’s SC rally. Self-promotion.”

Mitt Romney supporters are “wacky as hell,” Mansour wrote, but usually Romney’s presence online is just an “AstroTurf brigade.”

“Would love to tell Mitt’s lackeys to stop backstabbing my boss anonymously,” Mansour wrote.

Mansour also confirmed that having Joe McGinniss move next door threw the Mama Grizzly into a frenzy, and that the attacks on his character were indeed orchestrated.

When author Joe McGinnis moved next door to Palin, prompting a protest by her, Mansour told her correspondent, a pro-Palin activist, “Time to find a way to go medieval on this McGinniss. Don’t be fooled by the light tone of the [Facebook] post. The BigBoss is so upset by this.”

In response to an unknown suggestion by the recipient of the messages, Mansour wrote “I was thinking more along the lines of mailing him a dead fish.”

Even first daughter Bristol was not spared RAM's venom.

But by far the most incendiary messages are about Palin’s daughter Bristol. Sent in the aftermath of Bristol announcing to Us Weekly she was planning to marry Levi Johnston, Mansour wrote, “I wish they were the Cleavers too. But it’s life.”

“Two words: Patti Davis. Okay three more: Ron Reagan Junior. Two more: Billy Carter. Doesn’t your family have one?” Mansour said.

“She will hold her at arm’s length. Even Thatcher was never able to disown her screw up son Mark. It’s a Mom thing,” Mansour wrote.

Damn!  I guess I kind of knew this about this vicious piece of work, but even I am stunned at her ugliness.

I would be very surprised if this does not have her eating bus tread by the end of the day.  I cannot imagine that Palin will let those statements about her daughter go without punishing RAM severely.

I see an opening for a new Facebook writer and attack lesbian opening over in Palinville.

Update: Here are ALL of the tweets sent to the Daily Caller.

Update 2: Politico weighs in.

In addition to the damaging Tweets, the Daily Caller reported that Mansour initially denied that she had sent the messages to the unnamed source, claiming they had been doctored. “I did actually send him one direct message. He was asking for – it was like something really innocuous – he was just asking for information about something,” she tried to explain. “And I just replied and said, ‘no’ or something like that. And then the kid then used that and started to create direct messages. And that was like a real serious thing for me because I realized anyone can do that with like a screencap.”

If Mansour has been let go by SarahPAC, there is unlikely to be any announcement for some time. Staff changes and reshuffles in Palin’s camp are typically announced quietly only weeks or months after the fact. Or Palin watchers might have to wait for an answer until the PAC’s next FEC report to see if the aide is still being paid.

I had a late night conversation with a fellow Alaskan blogger yesterday, and we both discussed the possibility of RAM walking around with tire marks all over her body today.  However we also had to wonder if Palin really had anybody to take her place if she tossed her aside?

Essentially Palin has ALWAYS surrounded herself with sycophantic followers who are, in some way, also attracted to her.

This is made quite clear in Frank Bailey's book.  He was essentially smitten with Palin, and, by his own admission, would do ANYTHING for her, including things that were completely out of character for him.

In many ways, and for many of the same reasons, RAM is Frank Bailey's replacement, but the question is WHO replaces her?  And are there still people out there who are as drawn to Palin's "charms" as there once were?

She does not simply want loyal paid staff members, she needs to be worshipped.  And she needs those worshippers to swear their allegiance to her, and mean it. That is exactly how RAM finally convinced Sister Sarah to let her into the inner circle.

Update 3: The individual who leaked the RAM tweets revealed!

I've been waiting for this one to break for a few months, as somebody tried to sell me the same emails last fall.

"Does Politico pay for exclusives? Cause I'm looking to sell. I have 122 direct messages from Sarah Palin staffer Rebecca Mansour," the person emailed, eventually sending along sample direct messages identical to a couple the Caller posted. They were forwarded from the account of one improbably named Toki de la Vega, a contributor to some pro-Palin sites, though there was a man's name attached to one of the tweets as well.

I responded with a counter-offer of lunch and "undying gratitude."

"Sorry, Ben, but it's going to take more than a happy meal and a hand shake to get me to betray someone's confidence. Only freshly printed 100 dollar bills help me get over feelings of guilt," wrote the emailer, who continued, "Would it violate some fake journalistic ethics and standards to get me in contact someone who does pay? I know that the thought of blogging about this is making your panties wet. The topics range from Chuck Hagel to Ricky Hollywood and everything else in between. It's a f***ing blogger's gold mine."

Hmm I wonder how many OTHER people have this kind of behind the scenes information about Palin and her disciples? And how much longer will it be before they start looking for THEIR payday?

Update 4: For those people who still believe I chose the above picture of RAM in order to draw attention to her looks, I will post the ONLY other recent picture I have of her.

Personally I thought I chose the least unattractive one of the two, but if you like this one better so be it.

Palin tweets a bright shiny object to divert her faithful away from paying attention to the Frank Bailey book.

Palin aides also pointed to previous ethics charges against Bailey during his service to the ex-governor’s administration, as well as an ongoing investigation by the state attorney general’s office over the emails Bailey included in the book. Additionally, SarahPAC spokesman Tim Crawford highlighted Bailey’s book cover, which is a modified image. The original photo was of Palin standing next to other governors at an RGA event, not next to Bailey.

“Frank Bailey was the only member of the Palin administration to be found to have acted unethically – twice,” Crawford said. “He is currently under investigation again by the state attorney general. Then, as the administrator of certain email accounts, he acted unethically by appropriating account information he was entrusted to protect.”

“Gov. Palin suspended Bailey and refused to hire Bailey when he sought a position on her vice presidential campaign staff and later with SarahPAC. Mr. Bailey has an axe to grind and abandoned truth in his book. The cover of the book tells this story, two completely different photos twisted and Photoshopped to create a fraudulent image. The book belongs on the fiction shelves.”

Oh, tomorrow is going to be SO much fun!

And remember it is not too late for you to share in that fun.  Just click here.

P.S. Did anybody even notice that Palin had one of her sycophants write a Facebook post for her to put her hoof print on today?  I was going to write about it, but there was absolutely NO Sarah Palin apparent in the writing, so why bother? 

I will bet big money she has never even read the thing yet, and I KNOW she does not understand what it says!

New tweet by Sarah

If I ever buy a book written by Andrew Breitbart, it will be used to clean up my cat's litter box.  He was responsible for Shirley Sherrod's firing at the US Department of Agriculture.  Now Shirley is suing his ass.
