WASILLA, Alaska - Though Sarah Palin depicts herself as a pit bull fighting good-old-boy politics, in her years as mayor she and her friends received special benefits more typical of small-town politics as usual, an Associated Press investigation shows. When Palin needed to sell her house during her last year as Wasilla mayor, she got the city to sign off on a special zoning exception and did so without keeping a promise to remove a potential fire hazard.
She gladly accepted gifts from merchants: A free "awesome facial" she raved about in a thank-you note to a spa. The "absolutely gorgeous flowers" she received from a welding supply store. Even fresh salmon to take home. She also stepped in to help friends or neighbors with City Hall dealings.
She asked the City Council to add a friend to the list of speakers at a 2002 meeting and then the friend got up and asked them to give his radio station advertising business.

Hey LameBrainMedia!
I’ll give ya an “awesome facial”.
This could quite possibly be the biggest non-story ever in the history of the Associated Press. They have no shame and are absolutely worthless when it comes to objectivity.
I have yet to read a single story by them knee capping Dodd, Biden, Obama, Frank, Pelosi, ACORN and the real messes that are happening in this country...and THIS...THIS is a breaking front page investigation to them.
A free facial and flowers.
I demand she return this awesome facial immediately and denounce this transgression.
And demand that she resign, from public life.
Add 20 lashes and I am not talking eyeliners. Shes a witch so throw her in the lake.
Oh dear! someone gave her a piece of fish?
Pure graft!
Desperation is never pretty.
Full Court Press continues...
This is so petty and childish it’s hardly worth the time to scan. It shows how hard up the LIBERAL media is to smear her.
AND NOT A WORD ABOUT CHRIS DODD’S COUNTRYWIDE DEAL? NOT A WORD ABOUT OBAMA’S CRIMINAL NEIGHBOR, REZKO - WHO HELPED HIM PURCHSASE HIS MILLION DOLLAR MANSION?
I’m sick of this shoddy journalism.
Somebody call the police.
OMG! ROTFLMAO!
Why don’t they investigate Keith Obermann and his income tax schemes and animal stuff?
In the meantime..we have Rezko starting to sing..we have a choir of Rats who took mortgages from Countrywide..etc etc.
It is time for McCain to take some of these issues national by hitting hard on them. There should be a Rezko add..with film noire background and his middle east stubble showing..
They sent a squad of “truth seekers” for Obama and this is what they came up with...I need to go for a walk..if I don’t my head will explode. Nobody...and I mean NOBODY at AP made a single issue out of the millions of gifts and cash given to Hillary Clinton during her entire tenure in the White House and in the Senate and her campaign....
BIAS BIAS BIAS BIAS BIAS BIAS BIAS
Excerpt”
Nosek said Sarah Palin didn’t do anything more than any other citizen would have done.
“I sincerely don’t feel that Sarah used her position as mayor at the time to get that accomplished,” said Nosek, who no longer lives in the home.
This is the “October Surprise”? There is tangible “hate” of Sarah Palin.
So they are trying to say that no dem ever accepts a meal from anybody at a restaurant or some other kind act. I would think Harry Reid’s land deals would be more important than a facial.
Although I abhor violence, it wouldn’t surprise me if groups of angered Conservatives found some of these so-called “journalists,” “reporters,” “pundits” and “anchors” and stormed their offices, banging on the walls demanding justice.
It worked in the 2000 Florida recount fiasco.
