Notice that big CONFIDENTIAL header---Kim Chatman is the leaker, but Daniel gave her a copy of his report before he was supposed to.

And here is that POS Daniel's email address:

It’s all coming from the big cheese in the White House. He is the one calling all the shots. I called this the second Sarah was selected as VP, the vultures all came out, and they are all on Obama’s payroll

Any of us who actually need to increase the font can easily ctrl + scroll to increase the font.....I wish you could hear the minds of posters when they come across one of your cute posts. I’d think most consider the underlying psychology and scroll on past it.

Check this out everyone. This is VERY interesting indeed, someone posted this on C4P so I can’t take the credit for this:

I looked up the AP writer, Rachel Cordova D’Oro, on facebook and found she has Linda Kellen Biegel aka Celtic Diva on her friends list!!

I took a quick screen shot. Unbelievable!!

They'll be exempt from state laws with respect to campaign contributions that they relieve for the federal elections - which is the subject matter we're discussing.

No. Actually it is not what we are discussing. We are discussing whether she violated laws relating to accepting private donations to pay her legal debts. This is exactly what the Slickster did.

Folks, they are just picking our candidate for 2012.

I agree, they are showing us who they fear.

"No. Actually it is not what we are discussing. We are discussing whether she violated laws relating to accepting private donations to pay her legal debts. This is exactly what the Slickster did."

Last time. Bill didn't live in Alaska, he wasn't the sitting governor of the state of Alaska (nor any other kind of Alaskan elected official) and as such, he wasn't bound by Alaskan state laws regarding the establishment of his legal defense fund.

Palin, unfortunately, is a resident of Alaska, she is the sitting governor and as such, she is bound by Alaska state laws and ethics rules. As I said to another poster, the AK laws that control and regulate legal defense funds for sitting politicians are poorly written if not contradictory. But, they are what they are.

Any comparison to Clinton's legal defense funds (or any other federal office hold or another state's officer holders) is pure folly, legally speaking.

Let's review... Palin is besieged by demonstrably frivolous complaints and lawsuits; then there are complaints (including an attempted lawsuit, if memory serves) that she shouldn't use public funds to defend herself; now she's resigned from office, and the new complaint is that she shouldn't use private donations to fight the frivolous complaints...

[singing] time to open fire...

“Celtic Diva” has already been removed from D’Oros’ Facebook page.

Did anyone save screenshots?

If so, please post them.
