Every one but Christie and his AUSDAs.
They’re the only ones keeping me sane here in the People’s Republic of New Jersey.
:)
...Yes - you sound ALMOST as bad as Sarah Palin!
News Flash for the Slimes: EVERY CEO, General Manager, Division Manager, Office Manager, et al all the way down the line ... does the exact same thing, in ANY Corporation! Heck, even the Slimes management does it!
Geez, these drive-by's are certifiably lunatic, talk about being out of touch!
” But I’m reading and thinking, “Please, please President McCain, put her in charge of personnel.”
Ditto her husband.
He had the nerve to advise her to cut millions from the budget.
When he didn’t have an Ivy League education.
Or at least a community organizer background.
Yep. Hillary could have simply given the travel office their pink slips and hired anyone she wanted. But Instead she chose to try to destroy people who had done nothing to her simply because she thought she could do it and get away with it.
No matter what they say about her here, it still isn’t as bad as calling an unrepetant America-hating terrorist “respectable” and “mainstream.”
So she’s a tough, calculating politician. This piece could have been written about any of the four people on the two tickets. Politics isn’t a rosey business, but the NY Times only talks about it when it looks bad for a conservative.
She sounds like any politician elected to office. You put people in that you trust (i.e., friends) and get rid of people who are not worthy of trust (i.e., foes).
Just another yawner...
Nothing here not done in every small town city hall and State House each day. This election will be won in the Heartland and it is no longer effectively influenced by the New York Times. What the Heartland knows is what they saw and heard themselves. Governor Palin showing the pure and righteous stuff at the Republican Convention. Game, set, match.
Its funny but it’s also not because its true. Multiply it by the population of Alaska and well...theres going to be some unhappy people especially since she went up against the old boys network. If everyone still liked her after doing that, then I would be suspect. As it looks now, its simply politics.
yea...this kind of stuff NEVER happens in politics. Um, noobs, did you ever think that the mayor of a town of 7,000 might have a short list with a lot of trusted friends on it?
Morons...it won’t fly. You idiots have made her teflon now. Good going. :D
It doesn’t look bad to me.
Wassila is probably a one HS town so the people she hired and fired most likely went to the same school. Many people close to her age in the city would have been a ‘classmate’.
Now now mountainlion.
“”but they and even him could not pass security clearance””
grammar, grammar - its one of the things that separate us from the moonbats.
—but they could not pass a security clearance, nor could he.
This is not going to work. This is only going to reinforce negative attitudes towards Palin by those who hated her before.
Your attorney, Mr. Showers told Ms. Palin, is costing me lots of money.
“She told me she’d like to see him fired,” Mr. Showers recalled. “But she couldn’t do it herself because the City Council hires the city attorney.” Ms. Palin told him to write the council members to complain.
Meanwhile, Ms. Palin pushed the issue from the inside. “She started the ball rolling,” said Ms. Patrick, who also favored the firing. Mr. Deuser was soon replaced by Ken Jacobus, then the State Republican Party’s general counsel.
NYT lie alert. They claim Palin fired Deuser, but it sounds like at most she pushed the City Council to fire him, because she didn't have the power.
Most of this NY piece is just gossip.
Who are you supposed to hire, your enemies?
A reformer replacing an openly corrupt adminstration, chooses people they know well to fill positions of public trust.
And to the New York Times, this is a BAD thing?
Sure sounds like they’re trying to make her sound like the claims they’ve made against President Bush...
“Ms Palin is overly reliant on a small inner circle that leaves her isolated”
“Since taking office in 2007, Ms Palin has spent 312 nights at her Wasilla home, some 600 miles to the north of the governor’s mansion in Juneaus” - sounds eerily like the bleat about Bush’s vacation days
“her administration has battled to keep information secret”
“her inner circle discussed the benefit of using private email addresses”
Guess they’re trying to toe the Obama campaign line...
She sounds like the kind of person you either love or hate. No on the fence sitters where she is concerned. The MSM are talking to the 20% that hate her.
