So Sarah, Glitzy and Venal, is getting a check for 100 grand for her
Edited on Sat Feb-06-10 06:58 PM by WCGreen
rehash of tired old conservative cliches she is about to spew on the deserving throng of supporters gathered in Nashville.

Obama is a socialist, the democrats are channeling Satan lah, blah, blah...

100 grand. That's an awful lot of cash, even for her.

And I betcha she is really pissed off at the people who told the media that she was raking in that much cash. To save face with her adoring clan of klan, Sarah quickly said she was going to give that money back to the "movement".

Well, if they write the check to her, she will have to recognize that 100 grand as income and therefor pay income tax on that sizable pile of loot. Even if she "donates" it to her PAC, she will still have to show that 100k on her 1040.

But if it goes into her PAC, she can pay for all of her personal expenses while out on the hustings.

So I bet what Sarah really means when she is talking about giving it back to the movement, she really means laundering that cash back to her by covering the cost of a lavish lifestyle while on the road.

Nice job if you can get it, and if you get, wont you show me how...

1. You mean...
She's not "Sarah, Plain and Tall"?

She'd never show us how...

She did it all by herself, pulling herself up by her bootstraps, doncha know?

Yeah, right. Sure she did.

:patriot:

2. Ripping off the gullible base is what Republicans are all about
600 Teabaggers at $549 a pop = $329,400. She's taking almost a third of the Convention proceeds for herself. Who got the rest?

3. I hope those fools keep throwing money at the likes of her and Dubya
until they bleed them dry of money and then maybe this will all go away.

5. I wish they'd go away too...
But somehow I expect those fools will keep coming up with enough money to keep rolling...

Dammit.

7. The greed of the people at the top of the Conservative movement
is a long thread that stretches back to the robber baron days...
