Apprenticeship raises questions about Palin

Have you noticed how our governor seems to have convinced herself only some of the rules apply to her?


This attitude was really at the heart of Troopergate. It also allows her to do things like take cash from the state for spending more than 300 nights in her own home in Wasilla.

Now it appears the governor may have found a new way to skirt the rules. How is it possible that the governor's soon-to-be son-in-law, Levi Johnston, is working as an apprentice on the North Slope?

The governor, in trying to dispel rumors the father of her grandchild is a high school dropout, released this statement this past week,

"Levi is continuing his online high school work in addition to working as an electrical apprentice on the North Slope."

1. Fagan should check with the Steelworkers and Sparkies, too.

2. It takes 5 years to be a journeyman electrician, and the boy
Just doesn't look like the kind of guy to put up without instant gratification that long.
He was probably dead-tired of Bristol over 9 months ago....


Betcha Palin will somehow make him a licensed journeyman in about 6 months, screw the rules.

3. Perhaps Levi and Joe the Plumber can start a business together. nt
