Considering all the free publicity this blog has given her (easily 11 of those 1 million books she sold in 10 days were due to the free ads here) I do not think conservative Sarah Palin will mind my swiping a few photos from her Facebook. The photos show her strength is that she is extraordinarily ordinary.
She is inspiring young women to be something besides Paris Hilton…

Gov Sarah Palin is at the other end of the pendalum swing...
By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman.
The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska . I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, it's about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here.
1. Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.
2. Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.
3. The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
4. Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.
5. For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started. Then, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.
6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath.
By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now these adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda known better.
You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents' wives.
So "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your guts, determination, honesty, and morals. I rest my case. Only FOOLS listen to the biased media.
Swiped new tagline...
Good post!
FWIW - I have noticed a marked increase in the ‘Sarah look’ of not only youthful but also older gals recently ... the hairstyle, the glasses, the clothing style. Seems that the liberals and MSM Sarah bashing is having an opposite effect on the culture ... they can’t sell their snake-oil to the culture anymore. What a shame, ehhhh? /laughs
Sarah is beautiful...
She looks acts and thinks like a woman should...

Thanks for posting this.
And this is exactally why the Godd ole boy s club of Dem's and Repub's are afraid of her. Was a 15 year resident of Alaska and was involved heavily in Alaska Politics, Former Governor Palin was needed in Alaska to clean the mess of corruption there from the Good old boy's. She is what is needed in DC today.
I have yet to see anyone with the too-small-sweater/too-wide-belt-empire look. Then again, I’m not in an area that would be likely to follow her fashion sense. Has anyone in a liberal city seen any Michelle Obama fashion followers?
fantastic post. Those of us who love Sarah can’t hear enough, and you’re right about the left; they just get worked up into a frenzy ‘cause they have no idea what to do next.
I live in the DC metro area and work inside the Beltway (Virginia side). I have found it surprising that there is no one adopting the Michelle Obama fashion style. I see nobody with her hairstyle nor anyone following her clothing style. I’m old enough to remember the fashion craze that followed Jackie Kennedy — women copying her hairstyle and clothing sense. There were millions of Jackie-wannabes. There are no Michelle-wannabes.
Could I have asked for any area most indicative than the D.C. one?! Thank you for your very interesting reply.
Certainly there will be ensembles that will be copied, most likely because the design is good, and Mrs. Obama has worn some becoming clothing. But it’s almost as though she and her stylists are trying too hard.
