I worked for a mayor of a major city(Dem of course before I gained my sanity). Almost all of the dept heads were from his campaign and totally unqualified. The only ones who werent his friends were “token” minorities he had to go outside his white community for.(of course they were actually very good)

so, I get it, but still don’t like some of this stuff. It may reach a critical mass w/Sarah.

The impeached *Squirt never did this. NEVER! *He only hired enemies. (Is it any wonder why the NY Times is on the Deathwatch List?)

But did they fulfill their job description? If so... I don’t see any problems here...

How many Republicans were in the Clinton Administration? This is news?

Should she have hired her enemies and hired her friends?

I would do the same thing. Why would I want people working for me that didn’t have my best interest at heart?

Every one has something we are not going to understand or like....

One exception...

When it comes to Obama there is NOTHING to like... and needless to say we understand him quite well.

And her job approval rating is a mere 86% because of these harsh hiring practices and realities!

Bush should have cleaned house when he took office. You have to be able to trust those who represent you as well as the job you are elected to do. Good for Sarah.

I’ve never seen an administration at any level that didn’t do the same. I’d sure put people in I knew I could trust to do the job.

Ms. Palin cited budget difficulties for the museum cuts. Mr. Cooper thought differently, saying the museum had become a microcosm of class and cultural conflicts in town. ?It represented that the town was becoming more progressive, and they didn?t want that,? he said.

OOOoooo. Museums "a microcosm of class and cultural conflicts"? What was the big schism? Whether to put the Eskimo display with or without the harpoon sticking out of the baby seal? Kissing up to the NAYTs will get you no where. They will still consider you backwoods Bubbas

Ever try to run just a little group of people in the same city, or town? No one ever is liked 100%.

Heck, I bring in two dozen Bagels to the office on my birthday, complete with butter, cream cheese, and Lox ... for everyone (its an office tradition, some bring in Bagels and some bring in Doughnuts on their birthday)

But I get a couple of Onion Bagels for myself and some others in the office who like onion ... turns out that some of the others feel that an onion bagel 'contaminates' the entire bunch with an onion flavor (they might be right, but its MY damn birthday, and I'm buying ... dammitJIM !!!! /laughs)

eeeenywees, I can just see the headlines if I ever ran for public office:

Mr Moonlight Poisons Business Office in BagelGate


Denies any malfeasance -- FDA to investigate

10 paragraphs before they get to her defenders.

That’s fair, I suppose. For lefties...

Hillary Started Rose Law Firm East with Foster, Hubbell, Kennedy, et al. And didn’t Bill bring his blonde “cousin” to run the Travel Office.

BHO is doing a good job keeping the Annenburg Challenge project under wraps. When people learn that in the only executive position he ever held, he funneled money intended for educating the kids in Chicago to Ayer’s commie projects, he will be toast!

Why would anyone hire people they know and trust?

Read the whole thing and hope she does the same thing in DC. If she hires the same people she trusted in AK, then we’ll be off to a great start. At least we can be pretty sure they are American!
