Jeez, what exactly would be firing offenses for Alaska troopers if tasering a little kid, drinking in the cop car, and threatening murder aren't sufficient?

Another "scandal," that if raised, will backfire on the Obama campaign. Sounds more like axe-grinding.

McCain's daughter, Meghan, has a blog with tons of pictures of yesterday's event:

MeghanBlogette.com

It's occasionally "slashdotted" (meaning, overwhelmed), but worth a visit!

Hey, this is funny. I actually think troopergate is no big deal but I'm blogging about it and commenting on blogs as if it really is a huge deal because it make people like you so angry and hysterical. It is so easy to get to you redneck jesusjoi people now. Never in my entire life have I seen the religious right so excited and so insanely in love with such an inexeperienced redneck loser. This has been the greatest days of my life laughing and laughing at the far right and the malin supporting freaks. I can't wait until the election because the joi will be so great when Palin loses and you all have to deal with the far left ticket of obidenama. The funniest part: malkin and her type of losers all know obama will win but they can't help but get crazy excited because of the panderous palin choice.

(imagine here: an animated graphic of a liberal rolling on the floor pointing and laughing at you while spilling his coffee, smarter-than-you- books, apple gadgets and weed everywhere)

p.s. blogette is hot. she's probably a stealth liberal

[What do these long rambling troll posts make you think of? Desperation? -Ed.]

(Translation of IReadDumbBlogsandComment's comment follows...)

Pay attention to me.

Pay attention to me!

Pay attention! To me!

PAY ATTENTION TO ME!

PAY ATTENTION TO ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! PAY ATTENTION! PAY ATTENTION! PAY ATTENTION! PAY ATTENTION! PAY ATTENTION! PAY ATTENTION! PAY ATTENTION!

*Unnnnnngggggghhhhhhh! Uh-uh-uh-uh.*

Oh no! Now the ward assistant is gonna have to bring in the bucket and clean the wall.

I'll be good! I promise... I promise...

I... love you.

Angry and hysterical?
Wake up, sweetie, that's a mirror you're looking at.

Troopergate is nothing. This insane Palin woman actually wants to ban all condoms and birth control in America. Heck if she thinks sperm is that valuable she probably wants to jail males who masturbate. We do not want people who have beliefs so similar to the crazy muslim fanatics running our country. I'm afraid it's time to either pull that lever for hope and change or stay home. Screw McPalin!

[And she wants to steal your penis!

...Wait! It's already missing! -Ed.]

I thought democrats didn't want wife-beaters to have guns.

But apparently they are mad because she didn't want him to have a badge.

It just comes down to this: party over principle.

I am just surprised that after all this he has a job.

You know you're doing something right when you already have two trolls within the first ten posts.

This douche-bag trooper,

drove drunk in a state police car,
tazered his 11yo son,
was thought to be so much of a threat to the governor that the head of security (also a trooper) was concerned about him......

Why does he still have a job?

Job, nothing. Why isn't the dirtbag in jail?

Thanks for the link, Jimmy! An enjoyable blog and website and lots of cool pics!

So, after looking at a few other blogs with actual photos of Sarah Palin I have a couple of observations.

First, there's the one of her visiting the troops in the hospital in Germany in 2007, which means she already has more foreign policy experience than Obama. I'll bet she went even though the wounded soldiers weren't photogenic enough.

Second, the photos from MeghanBlogette.com where she is holding her baby clearly show a package of Kirkland brand baby wipes on the table. The woman is a governor and she still shops at Costco. Maybe McCain doesn't know how many houses his wife owns, but I sure bet Palin knows where every cent of her family's hard earned money goes.

Aardvark parked his cart in the dark. Palin danced her butt in the moonlight. She loved the moonlight and smoking weed but she detested condoms. She went around the world collecting them, telling people they couldn't have them and putting them in a giant bag. Palin locked all the condoms in a safe along with all the birth control pills. The number of babies born in the U.S. exploded. There were too many babies for people too have and abortions soared to never-before-seen record levels. There were too many abortions and it was all the fault of Palin and right-wing activists. Aardvark was sad.

After reading the Flopping Aces stuff on Palin's "Troopergate", if Obama is smart, he will send out word to silence it immediately. The charges appear to be false, a disgruntled worker who got canned.

But even if true, why didn't that employee fire such a trooper? Forget the trooper for a second, if the charges are true, it looks like he was fired, not for disagreeing about budgets and underperforming, but for deriliction of duty by letting this guy keep his badge.

If the Dems make a deal, they appear to be supportive of abusive, wife-beating cops. They will appear to be attacking a girl for firing a guy who was protecting this rogue cop, who threatened the life of the governor's father and sister.

Hmm... maybe McCain knows this, that magnificient bastard.

To #7: Palin is pro-contraception.

Damian dear,
A troll never lets a good story interfere with the truth. After all with them it's all about how THEY feel, how something's going to affect THEM, how THEY are right and no one else could possibly know anything about anything.

They also can't find a perspective without both hands, a sherpa, St. Bernards, a global positioning satellite, a crooked politician and several biased, bigoted, journalists.

Contraceptives are a sin and that is why Palin and all Feminists for Life members are 100% opposed to all birth control. Contraceptives should be stripped from our store shelves and barred from public use. There is no difference between contraceptives and abortion and every good pentecostal Christian like Sarah Palin knows this.

China has had a '1 child' policy for some time now.
That means that for every child born in China today there are 2 parents and 4 grandparents.
The little tot is going to grow up and start seeing the advantages of a euthenasia program for the 'useless eaters' in his society just as draconian as the '1 child' policy his grammy and grampa short-sightedly followed.
Then he's going to buy a 25 percent share in a woman because of the severe shortage of girl children in China.
How did that happen again?

If Palin's 'troopergate' was 1/10th as sordid as Bill and Hillary's troopergate in Arkansas, It might make a good story.

I think Palin will definately tone down any Republican tendency to jump on the Global Warmongering band-wagon.
Anyone who's worked, lived or even just visited Alaska will ever be able to say that the climate should be colder with a straight face!

Correction:
That last line should read,
"Anyone who's worked or lived in or even just visited Alaska will Never be able to say with a straight face that the climate should be colder!"

#18, I am no expert on Feminist For Life (FFL), but a simple google search shows that "Preconception issues including abstinence and contraception are outside of our mission." Here's the link in FFL's FAQ page - http://www.feministsforlife.org/FAQ/index.htm#contraception
I also don't know what pentecostal Christians think about contraception, but here's the link to the Pope's position - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9002085385040727366
BTW, I'm a heathen.

The scandal is nothing much but I don't think McCain's gamble is going to work. There isn't enough time for the public to get to know an unknown like Palin and there is lots of disinformation out there that the Democrats can use to create confusion about the ticket. The public has had lots of time to learn about Obama and most of the Obama scandals were diffused in the campaign against Hillary.

On the plus side could we see Palin run for president in 2012?

This showed up on one of my gun forums.
Too great not to share!

I will admit that I wasn't immediately overly impressed with McCains choice. However, as I watch the Obama camp go into complete meltdown over it, it looks much better. McCain has demonstrated effectively that he is firmly inside Obama's OODA loop. This puts a whole new light on the congratulatory ad to Obama. The "tomorrow, we will be back at it" line is almost as good as Fred Thompson's "look into it" advice to Mike Moore. The response of the Obamatrons is strangely reminiscent of the wildly successful actions of the ronulan/paulbots. So, FrankJ, have you figured out the key words needed to attract this entertaining group to come to your site en masse?

#23 they are from www/palinfacts.com. a Chuck Norris facts knockoff.
as for me, I was a life-long Democrat, offspring of a life long democrat, but will now vote for the hated republicans because they have now addressed two of our long held biases; age and gender. (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek)
I was not sure about this pick until i saw the left's apoletic reaction. John may be much smarter than we thought (I hope).

Gotta love the trolls. All upset because Palin takes down corrupt people. So much for their wimpy "Speak Truth To Power" bumper stickers.

Palin didn't fire the trooper. She fired a higher-up person who wouldn't fire the trooper. It isn't about the trooper firing. It is about a power abuse by Palin thinking she can just fire anyone she wants for any reason. It's pretty serious and it will stay in the news but it won't cost the GOP the election. It's the fact that she is bizarre and a radical right-wing figure that will cost the GOP the election. She's also a total redneck and most people hate stupid redneck losers. Good luck winning this one gop.

'most people hate stupid redneck losers'

Sorry Bucky, but you don't speak for 'most people'.
Say what you really mean.
Ignorance leads to fear.
Fear leads to hate.
You fear what you don't understand, and the list of things you don't understand may be endless, therefore the list of things you fear and therefore hate must also be endless.
It must suck to be you!

I recommend counselling, or better yet; get a real job, an apartment of your own, a car, and a girlfriend - in that order.
Real experience leads to real knowledge, and 'knowing is half the battle!'.

There may be hope for you yet!
Good luck, son.
