WASILLA, Alaska - Sarah Palin and her husband have pieced together a uniquely Alaskan income that reached comfortably into six figures even before she became governor, capitalizing on valuable fishing rights, a series of land deals and a patchwork of other ventures to build an above-average lifestyle.

I saw her house on greta.
Nothing near john edwards or obama’s.

I’ll bet she didn’t get a 300K below market sweetheart deal on her house.

Wow. A whole million dollars earned through hard work.

Meanwhile D.C, is trying to shove a 700 billion theft through.

Yeah, I’m having a hard time caring.

The msm is hoping that people are so stupid they confuse assets and income.

Anyone in a high cost area that has paid off their house, probably has assets of more than 1 million.

I assume their business assets are included.

What the heck is wrong with working your butt off at several jobs to provide your family with necessities?

I’d wonder if they had lots of the finer things and no income to support the finer things.

... Or confuse assets with net worth.

What are their liabilities (mortgage)? Plus five children saving for college.

This is the lowest of low.

“...build an above-average lifestyle...”

..snicker...”above average”...

Talentless journalists too stupid to know that their own sloppy hit piece makes a mockery of their dim journalistic skills.

The Palins are undoubtedly greedy capitalist pigs preying on the pristine natural resources, which had existed for eons, undisturbed under the careful guardianship of the highly benevelolent native peoples of color.

Good for her. She and Todd have achieved the American Dream by the sweat of their own brows. I can't imagine this story having any negative effect on her.

It speaks well of her ability to manage her household finances well, unlike Biden, who has about the same net worth after a much longer career with his snout in the public trough at a much higher salary.

It should also be noted that a million bucks in Alaska, where everything from gasoline to fresh fruit comes by boat or airplane, is like $600,000 down here.

She’s what 44? $1M at 44 is within the reach of most americans if they 1) graduate college, 2) make relatively few stupid mistakes.

They keep getting lower; I just hope that it’s a hole for themselves that they are digging and that’s the elevation change i’m witnessing.

Above average? At 44 earning 6 figures and saving for your kids’ college? Trust me, after college, she and Todd will be lucky to have much left.

It looks like Biden and Obama made tons more money, and just pissed it away like madmen, even with tons of back channel corruption deals cooking. And they might run the country. Amazing.

This absolutely burns me. This is ignorance, piled on bias, piled on smear by AP/Yahoo.

Everyone just relax, this is not a negative article on the Palin’s. A lot of stories are negative about them, this is not one of them.
