Palin doodles her way to mayor!

I especially like just how BIG she wrote her name. :rofl:

On a recent reporting trip to Alaska, TNR senior editor Noam Scheiber came across a piece of paper from an old Wasilla city budget, on the back of which Palin doodled and brainstormed her potential mayoral campaign themes ("time for a change," "you would be my boss!") and qualifications ("life-long alaskan," "NRA supporter," "taxpayer!"). Read the fine print on this 1996 document; it's a fascinating glimpse into how she thought she could best present herself to the Wasilla electorate.

:scared:

A frightening look into the real Sarah.

... but IMHO this skanky, egotistical bitch is ruining it for all women.

but I think that spic who is the mayor of Los Angeles is ruining it for all Latinos."

Does that sound good to you?

Well, that's how your post sounds to me.

Stop all slurs.

intelligence based slurs can stay.

Also, sometimes slurs about physical appearance can be ok, but we have to be careful with those.

And "your momma is so..." slurs, they have to stay. They are made of win.

Stop picking on us 40ish dweebs!

Sarah Palin is such a Mavrik(sic) that while most people dot their "i"s, "t"s, and "j"s, she dots her "n"s.

:shrug:

Too late to edit.

:grr:

I, of course, meant dotting "i"s and "j"s and crossing the "t"s.

:dunce:

:)

I like the Vonnegut asshole-asterisks. Is that Wasilla's budget bleeding through the back? I can make out a bunch of zeroes and "WATER UTILITY", a little contrast adjustment might tell another story.

I can make out "Expenditures" and "General Fund/Capital Fund... Dept. Total":


Here's a chicken scratch only version, if you make it an XOR mask against the original image what's left should be (one page of) the budget with a few holes:

Not just the fact that it looks like a child wrote it, or that her name is the most prominent thing on the page, but the disorganization of it.

Embarrassing.

I'm gonna be Preznit!

She's also a wife, mother, homeowner, and a graduate of Wasilla High School!

And apparently has learned to communicate by scratching messages.

Interesting.

So disappointing. Thought I found a good one!

My god...

Sarah Palin is a joke that, quite frankly, isn't all that funny anymore.

She has great political gifts, combining the competitive instincts of a Filipino gamecock with the native gumption she first displayed in her 1996 race to become mayor of Wasilla, when she blindsided the incumbent mayor by running not on local but on state and national issues, as the pro-gun and pro-life candidate. Mayors have no say on abortion or on gun laws, but Palin got the support of the local Evangelicals (it greatly helped that her – Lutheran – opponent’s surname was Stein and her backers put it about that he was a Jew) and of gun-owners who keenly supported a bill, then pending in the state legislature, that would affirm the right of Alaskans to carry concealed weapons into public buildings. On more typical mayoral concerns, she promised to halve Wasilla’s property tax and ‘cut out things that are not necessary’, citing the bloated budgets for the museum, the library and arts and recreation. She won the election with 616 votes to Stein’s 413.

There followed what some Wasillaites saw as her reign of terror. She demanded resignation letters from all the city managers, ridding herself of the museum director, the librarian (whom she was later forced to rehire), the public works director, the city planner and the police chief, who’d argued against the concealed weapons bill and had supported a measure to close the town’s bars at 2.30 a.m. on weekdays and 3 a.m. at weekends (the owners of the Mug-Shot Saloon and the Wasilla Bar had given money to Palin’s campaign). City employees were forbidden by her to speak to the press, and during her first four months in office she provoked a string of appalled editorials in the local paper, the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman:

Wasilla found out it has a new mayor with either little understanding or little regard for the city’s own laws.

Palin seems to have assumed her election was indeed a coronation. Welcome to Kingdom Palin, the land of no accountability.

Mayor Palin fails to have a firm grasp of something very simple: the truth . . . Wasilla residents have been subjected to attempts to unlawfully appoint council members, statements that have been shown to be patently untrue, unrepentant backpedalling, and incessant whining that her only enemies are the press and a few disgruntled supporters of former mayor John Stein.

rainbows, and hearts around her gigantic name.

Sarah + John with a big heart around it.

:hide:

:D

(jeez)

"bureaucracy"

Quelle surprise.

state of the art city hall because "there is no need for a multi-million dollar facility for government workers in our small town" when she was FOR the big mess of a multi-million dollar sports arena.

I guess a state of the art facility is too good for "government workers" but not too good for hockey players. BTW, that arena is a horrible mess--the ownership of the LAND is in question--a guy owns it and has called it his and it's been tied up in court. They've lost money on that thing.

This just confirms to me what a fucking idiot she is.

This is very helpful. I was having a hellova time reading the small print. But then, that would also be true in a Palin vice presidency no doubt.

...as a qualification is right where it's at. Would you hire someone lame enough to do that?

This woman reached her peak at age fourteen.

Plus she breathes! (mouthbreather I know, but still a breather)

:rofl:

nt

There's gotta be a lipstick smooch print on that thing somewhere. :shrug:

:D

I couldn't find it in her section of accomplishments. And I've read that she refuses to release her college transcripts.

It says "Univ. of Idaho, Bach. in Journal (cut off here) minor Politic" (it gets cut off there)

I see it now. Thanks. :hi:

Other reports say her major was communications.
But like many communications majors, the major gets switched to journalism or english on the resume later in life.

Thank you, John McCain, for choosing Palin.

During these difficulty times, the American people need a laugh or two.

You've never done anything more noble for your country than putting this clown in the national spotlight.

Cheers!

unless she thinks life begins at 40.

since she burdened the town with debt by building a new community center.

:shrug:

I think that probably qualifies her as a "lifelong Alaskan."

The Sandpoint, Idahoans, seem eager to claim her, though.

She was born in Idaho!!!
