1. I certainly hope she doesn't go away...
She's been the best salesperson for the Democratic Party that I've ever seen!

38. You and I think alike. I say we need to ENCOURAGE her to come on the air
and make a complete fool of herself so we can just cruise to win after win.

Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 04:22 PM by Blue_In_AK
is what she's not doing. I could not have more contempt for any human being.

9. I, as well, am full of contempt for her....
She does nothing for those in crisis in her own State, abrogates, fully, her responsibility while acting ever the clown for the media.

Despicable, totally despicable.

14. If it weren't for the "pathetic anonymous bloggers," as SP refers to them,
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 04:39 PM by Blue_In_AK
no one would even know how the villagers in western Alaska are suffering. I am holding my breath until this story gets some national coverage. It's like Katrina in slow motion, complete with the racism.

17. I have been reading those courageous bloggers thanks to you
and others in Alaska with great sadness and growing anger. Sadly, those suffering are not 'mainstream' enough for the media to care. The same has happened in Canada regarding tragedies occurring among First Nations and, indeed, tragedies happening on reservations in the United States. There is one common denominator in the lack of coverage by the national media and that is the make-up of their genealogy, if you will.

Yes, in blunt terms, it is a disgraceful show of bigotry and discrimination by the media, imo.

39. What goes around comes around.
I suspect she is already realizing the folly of her ways (the majority of Americans view her as a "joke").

And, I think the fact that she was so much in the limelight (and not in a good way) is probably opening many eyes in Alaska as to her true character and qualifications.

I know you have a much better handle on her than I do, so, I may be wrong.

What I would really like to see is for her to make a 2012 run. We won't have to worry about Obama exposing anything about her. Her own party will do this for him. And, I suspect, with a vengence.

The progressive blogs here have been the main source of information on the crisis in Western Alaska, although it was foreseen since the end of salmon season last summer.

ProgressiveAlaska has several good posts including:

http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2009/01/lower-yukon-community-crisis-awareness.html
http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2009/01/pas-firedoglake-emmonak-diary-from.html

And several posts at The Immoral Minority here: http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/ (I can't link to individual articles because his post titles always link to his source material.


There are other, shorter posts at these sites, but this should give you a little idea of what's going on here. I guess I'm particularly sensitive to Emmonak because I have an old artist friend who's originally from out there, and I'm sure a lot of his family is still there.

28. Hi Blue
It's been a few, but I wanted to say I've been reading progressive alaska, the mudflats, and the diva blue (I can't remember the name) blogs weekly, and my heart goes out to you all. I've been forwarding them to others, and have posted them on a few lib sites.

It's heartbreaking. We haven't forgotten.

I hope it gets MSM coverage.

29. Thanks, CP.
I know people Outside are just sick to death of hearing about Alaska, thanks to our "governor" who presented us in such a bad light, but this might finally be the issue that sinks her boat if it's ever fully reported. All the other stuff -- the maternity issues, the drop-out unwed kids, the drug-selling grandma, the media whorishness, on and on and on -- is just gossip, but her disregard for the first people of her state is inexcusable and must be exposed.

30. It's her Katrina -- and again, no one talks about it
Some of the comments left in the ADN are appalling. People saying they deserve this fate because they chose to live in a "nice village" instead of the city, and they don't pay the same taxes as the city folks do. OF course, from a state taking such huge entitlements, this argument is a failure. I'd like to point out to these people that the roads and bridges they are using are paid for by OTHER tax payers from other states -- does that mean the they won't use them anymore???

-- but try to talk sense to them and you'll drive yourself insane.

Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 05:48 PM by mikiturner
Here:

NEW YORK -- It looks like Sarah Palin may be ready to tell her remarkable story in print.

The former GOP vice presidential candidate has apparently enlisted the help of superstar Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who has brokered book deals for such political A-listers as President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Additionally, he has handled TV deals for a lot of top anchors and reporters such as Brian Williams, Lesley Stahl, Neil Cavuto, Christiane Amanpour and Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

While not an immediate option, TV news is considered an intriguing possible future career path for the telegenic Palin.

Reached by telephone late Wednesday, Barnett said he had no comment.

46. says this lawyer helped Obama with his book and also David Plouffe.



..........
Barnett, who handled Obama's "The Audacity of Hope," already is shopping a book about the 2008 presidential campaign. He recently signed Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, to shop his book about the winning campaign tentatively titled "The Audacity to Win."
