Look at this oh, so shocking, revelations from the New York Times hit piece.
"When Ms. Palin had to cut her first state budget, she avoided the legion of frustrated legislators and mayors. Instead, she huddled with her budget director and her husband, Todd, an oil field worker who is not a state employee, and vetoed millions of dollars of legislative projects."
Gasp! Oh, horror of horrors. She consulted with someone who was not on the state payroll about where to cut the pork. It was her husband, for crying out loud. Earth to New York Slimes, this is typical spousal behavior. It happens all the time in the real world. In happy marriages the spouses consult about work problems with each other so there is no excuse for this kind of sloppy reporting. It is a source of amazement to everybody in this country who actually works for a living and has to be competent to keep their job that reporters like you manage to retain your high paid positions without a stitch of competency. In other words, why doesn't your boss fire you?
By the way, Hillary's big selling point was that she was at Bill's side consulting with him on every major decision every step of the way. Is that role only for the "little woman?" You hypocritical, sexist pigs at the New York Slimes make me sick.
"But an examination of her swift rise and record as mayor of Wasilla and then governor finds that her visceral style and penchant for attacking critics — she sometimes calls local opponents “haters”"
"Visceral style?" Like making cracks about being a pit bull, and joking about the anointed
one, Saint Obama (or is it Obama the Christ) himself She called local "critics" haters? Were
they like her critics at the Arianna's Huff and Puff Post, or the New York Slimes or in
Hollywood? If they are, then I forgive her for calling them haters and so should you.
The hit piece also points out that Palin has fired opponents and ruffled feathers. Earth to
Times, earth to Times, that's how you get things done, not just in politics, but also in business,
in sports, and just about everywhere else in the world.
One of the "firings" of State Safety Commissoner, Walt Monegan, is a non-starter.
Alledgely, she fired him for not firing her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper, after he supposedly
committed numerous indiscretions and, it is claimed, threatened to kill her father.
Actually, I think she's too soft. If somebody threatened to kill my father I would have fired
him myself, and I wouldn't have let his boss resign--I would have fired him too.
Yes, despite all the Democratic yelping, the man was not fired, he resigned. He was offered
a reassignment to another job, got in a huff and quit. Now, if my boss gives me a new task at
work and I quit, guess what, the unemployment office says I quit. That is the law in most states.
It may not be particularly fair, but it's not illegal. It's irrelavant. Maybe he wanted the governor
in fear for the safety of her family. Not knowing his politics, it's hard to say. But me, I would
have fired him outright.
I know the Democrats don't know how to win elections on the issues, but you would think
they could do better than this.
