Palin Hasn't Been To Alaska Office Since Election

Alaska Dispatch:

In August when John McCain selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate, with the exception of Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes who still had pheromone up their nostrils from the lunch they had with Sarah in 2007 when the cruise ship on which they were riding stopped in at Juneau, no one else in the "lower 48" (as those of us in the subarctic call the US of A) had heard of the woman. Ninety days and counting later, Sarah Palin and her celebrity have become as ubiquitous a part of the popular culture as Paris Hilton and Madge Ciccone. ...

It's now been three weeks since the election. And Sarah has yet to set foot in Juneau. Next week she's off to Georgia. And from there up to Philly. By the time she gets back to Alaska the Holiday Season will be full upon her. So it's unlikely that Sarah will spend another night in the Governor's Mansion until the Legislature returns to Juneau in January.

Um, when is her daughter Bristol due? You would think as a mother she would want to stay close by. Then again, that lure of a photo-op is just too great.

[troika]

MY EGO FIRST, FAMILY LATER, is Palin's philosophy.

Everything 'Sarah' comes first, and anything 'not Sarah' is just an irritant.

[Tom Joad]

Overflowing with executive experience, isn't she?

[timberdoodle]

Doncha know God is runnin Alaska right now since Sara is his boss he'll do as she says you betcha.

[proudliberal4truth]

At least the entry of SP into national politics has had one bright side for Alaskans....it has kept the woman OUT of Juneau.

[Rickter]

Heck, Todd can take over for a while dont cha know....

[Susej]

Are her kids along with her during all that time?
Cant' blame them for teen pregnancies when they miss s e x e d

[missbelladog]

Alaska can run merely from the glow of her star power.

[huffyISaHottie]

like the old song says...it's hard to keep them down on the farm once they've seen Paris

[woodcut]

Never heard that. Very funny.

[lioness39]

It's an oldy and goodie. And so true in Palin's case.

[tenndemo]

Note to Alaskans, check her per diem statements. Don't let her double dip again. Make sure the gop picks up the gold platted tab.

[R549]

Is it true Alaskan legislators are considering charging the governor with dereliction of duty?

[bobbysgurl]

Read the Anchorage Daily News about their displeasure at Palin campaigning in Georgia. The state budget is in the toilet. Guess who won't be getting their welfare checks from the big oil companies this go round.

There has also been a shoot-out up there in I'll Ask Her, but I haven't seen it in the news.

[puffthedragon]

Maybe Alaskans should start asking themselves what would happen to their jobs if they didnt show up for work for four months.

[glorialovelace]

Headline is wrong. She was interviewed in her kitchen -- which is definitely in Alaska -- on the Today show after the election.

[alienufo]

yeah, the article actually says she hasn't been to Juneau since the election, which is the state capitol of alaska.

[glorialovelace]

But it's a well-known fact that Palin has always done a lot of her work out of her home in Wassilla.

[puffthedragon]

If her office is in her kitchen in wasilla you are right . but I do think her official office is in the capital building in Juno Alaska.

[doyle005]

Wow, we need to elect this women...if she were the POTUS, the country would run itself just like AK is doing now!!!

Wait actually, we should elect Sean Parnell as he seems to be doing a fine job running the state while his boss is infecting the lower 48 with her home spun brand of stupidity.

[AnalyzeIT]

This woman actually thinks she's helping her party - the majority of them as well as the majority of Obama supporters, loathe her.

She's speaks but is NOT a smart woman. A major problem: she thinks she is smart. Sigh!!!

[dontomas]

This woman is nothing but a prime example of how many Americans value celebrity over substance. It must be so disconcerting for those who persons who work like dogs and aquire great skills in order to bring positive change to society knowing that they will never be compensated fairly or achieve society's accolades.
