Enough Distractions

iconI wonder if Charlie Gibson will ask Palin about the $453 million in earmarks that she requested as Governor.

Palin has sought $197 million worth of earmarks for 2009, down about 25 percent from the $256 million she sought in the 2008 budget year. As mayor of tiny Wasilla, Alaska, she hired a lobbyist to seek federal money for special projects. Wasilla obtained 14 earmarks, totaling $27 million, between 2000-2003, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense.

More of the same.

  • Dammit, jac1975! Now I have to go wash my brain out with bleach.

  • Even in a puff piece, holy crap:

    Um, Governor Palin, not to belittle your foreign experience, but war with Russia?!?!

    Since Alaska is also close to Japan, you may want to investigate what a nuclear weapon can do to a town.

  • That sounds like a good drinking name: Predict the questions.

    I shot of tequila if he asks her about the action figures.
