I’m thinking Axelrod must be a Voodoo Priest with some kick ass Voodoo dolls.

Seriously, a member supporter of the same goals of a secessionist political party is the Republican VP nominee?

And a husband who was a member.  And submitted a welcoming message that supports the idea of Alaska being a self-sufficient state:

We have a great promise: to be a self-sufficient state.” She closed by saying, “Good luck on a successful and inspiring convention. Keep up the good work, and God bless you.”

Having a vice presidential candidate associated in any way with a party that boasts the slogan “Alaska First — Alaska Always” could be a problem for McCain, whose slogan is “Country First.” There’s no documentary evidence now that Palin was a member. But the question lingers: was she a fellow traveler?

The founder’s words:


“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”

Joe Vogler

hmmmmm…damning America…..

The good news for the McCain campaign is that it’s only the 17 year old daughter that is pregnant versus a weird conspiracy theory about the 17 year old being pregnant previously.  That’s a story that tells you a hell of a lot about Alaskan politics–while the press is trying to blame some diarist on Kos for the rumor, it turns out it’s been floating around in Alaska for some time.

The kid has plenty to deal with so she deserves to be left alone.  My mother had my sister at 18 and she’ll be fine, but she’ll be growing up in a hurry.   Of all the screwed up crap in Illinois, though, I cannot think of something that bizarre where the Senate President’s people are behind some rumor like this. It makes you appreciate Emil a lot more, no?

But best of all, the idiots didn’t vet her.

And they are lying about it.

She had to lawyer up today about a politically oriented firing (something any good Illinois resident gets).  She apparently fired a whole slew of people in Wasilla when she took over including the Police Chief.

She’s lying about the Bridge to Nowhere and earmarks in general.

This kind of day is one that leads to the General suggesting the people who recruited her have a threesome in Wrigley Field to get rid of the problem.

And given the atrocious tokenism of the choice the comparison isn’t unfair.

Oh, and they think it’s brilliant! Along with Jack’s Lackey Corps

You remember their on target analysis of how Alan Keyes would show Barack Obama how it’s done…don’t you?
