The New Testament of Sarah Palin: Spring 2010

Writing is hard. I struggle. Being a mom is hard. It's worth the hard work. Being a wife is hard. I wasn't good at it. Being a governor is hard. I've seen few really good at it. Campaigning is hard. As good as you can strategize and frame your message; sometimes you still don't get elected.

Just how competent is Sarah Palin? She hasn't been able to juggle everything to date...and now a new "ball" is up in the air.

Harper Collins just signed the Governor of Alaska to a book deal. In a time tight budgets and economic chaos, they managed to find a great sum to trade for the memoirs of a girl from Wasilla, Alaska. The book is due next spring. It was reported she was getting an $11 million advance. She denied the amount. It flies in the face of having a legal defense fund.

That's fantastic! Great! Get a laptop and a bottle of Adderall...you'll be fine. If you get stuck...well, make it up. It's worked so far.

The governor said about her new book, "There have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate, and it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are and what we stand for and what Alaska is all about." Who is "WE?" How in the ham and cheese can Sarah Palin know what "Alaska is all about?" No one can sum this place up; that's what I love about it. We are too mavericky to have one voice define us.

Palin added, "The idea is to focus on the content of the book and what's coming in terms of me being able to tell my story unrestrained and unfiltered." Well, that's precious! The idea of being governor, traveling around, and making promises for votes, is to FOCUS on the State you were elected to represent.

"It will be nice to put my journalism degree to work on this and get to tell my story, Alaska's story. There have been so many unauthorized books and publications that have spoken to somebody else's opinion of who I am, what my family represents and what Alaska is all about." AGAIN, SARAH, what 41.6% of Alaskans, according to last weeks poll numbers, think Alaska represents, is NOT YOU. Tell your family story, your story, but not ours.

For all the reasons it took her three weeks to sign a bill to support the emergency funding for the Alaska Territorial Guard, Sarah sure found her pen today.

But there is a problem.

Remember all the ethics Palin was touting during her un-holy national tour on the Strait Jacket Express? They include specific statutes:

S 39.52.170. Outside Employment Restricted.
(a) A public employee may not render services to benefit a personal or financial interest or engage in or accept employment outside the agency which the employee serves, if the outside employment or service is incompatible or in conflict with the proper discharge of official duties.
(c) The head of a principal executive department of the state may not accept employment for compensation outside the agency that the executive head serves.

Rest easy, I'm not going to file an ethics complaint over this. The system has been wildly abused, including the one Sarah filed on herself. Ethics are not something you can legislate; either you have them or you don't.

Alaska has a citizen legislature. They are expected to have employment outside of the 90 day session. The governor and her cabinet are considered full time employees. I'm not an attorney, but, after reading the details of the statutes, they seem specific and unambiguous; the governor can't be paid for other employment.

Sarah Palin is living the dream. People want to read about it. Some Alaskans are living a nightmare, and she needs to do her job.

Since the governor's return to Alaska, not much has progressed. Our legislature couldn't even pass the bestiality bill dubbed "Ididadog." Groundhog Day is now Marmot Day. We have a new state dog. Our minimum wage won't be the lowest in the nation. Sarah's pet projects crashed in committee. Her AG and cabinet appointments were rejected by the Republican majority legislature. Some of that I'm good with, I don't want the uterus police in my business or a bigot as Attorney General.

Palin hasn't been able to perform her duties as governor without a book deal. What ever she writes, Rush Limbaugh will consider it a pop-up book. Now that she has a contract, it won't take an ethics board to figure out Alaskans lose again.

Any guesses for a title?

More delusional and revisionist pap from the Out Party...

Persecutory — People with this type of delusional disorder believe that they (or someone close to them) are being mistreated, or that someone is spying on them or planning to harm them. It is not uncommon for people with this type of delusional disorder to make repeated complains to legal authorities.

( Palin made 30 complaints about trooper Wooten, 10 were investigated and 3 brought reprimands.Palins conduct in her overzealous persecution of Wooten, led to an ethics complaint. Palin was found guilty of "abuse of power by the Alaska state legislature.

Palin and her supporters just as over zealously , rant and rave that she is being persecuted because of 12 ethics complaints filed by different citizens. Palin filed 1 against herself. Alaska has a population of 686,293, so the equates to 0.00174852­4318330509 per person compared to her 30 complaints against Wooten.

Mixed — People with this type of delusional disorder have two or more of the types of delusions .

In Regards to Wooten.

Those complaints­/allegatio­sn were not filed until after the divorce.

Sarah cut her security detail when Wooten was a "Supposed Threat to her Family"

Additionally, it is important to know that in regards to Wooten tasering his som. The Palins and Heaths were present and from the reports ,they even laughed at his sons reaction to being tasered.

It is important to also state that Wooten's son asked his dad to taser him so that he can know what it is like. ................ the taser was set to training mode and not to the full effect that a Police officer would use in the Field.
He did not use it on him repeatedly but used it as a demonstration as requested

A person's initial reaction may well be that it was improper and unprofessional of his dad to taser him

That reaction while at first has merit it. It is no different then a Dad or mom Teaching their child on how to properly use a Fire Arm. They teach proper handling and how to Respect the gun.

The same could be said for lighting a Firecracke­r/firework­s or such A responisble parent will teach their child how to safely light Fireworks.

[Martha12]

Thanks for that info,.

It just confirms that Palin is indeed deeply, delusional. I truly believe she has the combination of these two delusional disorders, Persecutory and Grandiose.

All the actions she takes and the more folks know about her, only solidifies this.

Who in their "right mind" files 30 complaints against one person? That is her Grandiose delusion in action, after all she fired the Monegan, because he refused to seriously pursue every small detail of her nonsense.Palin even had her husband pressure the police chief. That is the example of delusions causing legal trouble, Palin found guilty of abuse of power, because of her persecution of Wooten.

If Wooten, or anyone else were that bad, many others would have been filing complaints as well.

Palin then flips to her Persecutory delusion, when there are only 12 complaints files against her from the entire state of Alaska. How they are all frivolous and she must have a legal defense fund to pay her great legal costs. THE great legal cost was her abuse of power violation.. She believes she is being persecuted.

[aka-ub]

Where did you get this information? I live in AK and I've never heard about the Palins being present, or about the taser's setting. Please back up your assertions.

I am not a Palin supporter by any stretch and the fact that she was not punished or penalized for her role in Troopergate certainly does not make me think she was exonerated as she claims, but I still think that Wooten was a bad guy.

[quest44]

Sorry but you are so wrong here. Would a person shoot there son in order to teach them what it feels like to be shot.
Please your dealing here with families that are disfunctional ,,all these families Palins included .

[Martha12]

I'll try this again;

#1 Interesting, these two delusions describe Palin to a tee, I pulled put the “pertinent to Palin stuff”……….. Excerpts and link;
Delusional Disorder (Also Called ‘Paranoid Disorder’, ‘Psychosis’)

Delusional disorder most often occurs in middle to late life and is slightly more common in women than in men.

Unfortunately, many people with this disorder do not seek help. It often is difficult for people with a mental disorder to recognize that they are not well. Without treatment, delusional disorder can be a lifelong illness.

Acting on the delusions also can lead to violence or legal problems...(Palin certainly has those, hence her legal defense funds)

The types of delusional disorder include: Grandiose — A person with this type of delusional disorder has an over-inflated sense of worth, power, knowledge, or identity. The person might believe he or she has a great talent or has made an important discovery. (after the Katie Couric interview, Grandiose, goes without saying)

[hollybork]

Ha! I am all for credentials. Sarah Palin will put her journalism degree to work writing a (ghost written) book, just like George W Bush put his MBA degree to work executing his (VP Cheney's) partisan agenda. We know how that goes.

[smiththomas]

the propaganda against her is silly. You are going after a person that came along trying to do the right thing for her state in regard to not overspending ect. the attacks came about when it looked like she was really going to help McCain. Thus, there has been a total effort to discredit her. and its worked.
This is scary. What a propaganda machine. MSNBC,SNL ect ect. This is Rediculous. Anyone could be attacked in the same way. its scary. This is like the propaganda used against the jews pre WWII.
now we see the same thing with miss California. Onec again, these types of attacks could be implemented on anyone

[Actongue]

The propoganda is not silly.

Sarah Blames the Media for her portrayal het she fails to realize that she is the one that needs to be blamed.

She is always doing or not doing something Media Related. In the case of (SE Alaska last winter and had to wait for a Charity Organization to offer aid). She also sends her Husband to Represent Alaska Alaskans and its seafood industry when he was not the right choice to make......­.....Sendi­ng the commisioner of Fish and game or the Commisioner of Commerce is the smart logical decsion.

Rupert Murdoch which owns Fox and Harper/Collins is the one that is doing the Propaganda.

Because she is always putting herself in the Limelight does not mean that the media should ignore her.

Additionally, because of her political aspirations it is the right of Everyone to question her.

Title

Amazing DISgrace

[Angmorg]

I found a copy of the first draft.

See Sarah

Run Sarah Run

See Obama

Don't run until Obama's 2 terms are over

[Skyhawk]

Talk to Romney about going bear hunting. Also.

[freethemarkets212]

Whats funny is that the Left and Obama Administration are scared to death of this lady (Why could that be).Palin relates to the real majority in America,not the fake one the left has created.Read Obamas bible(Rules for Radicals).Always hide your numbers,so the people think their is more than there actually are.

[Martha12]

What IS funny, is Palins poll numbers plummeting so fast they need a parachute. Alaskans are fed up with her and she has no chance on the national level.

[NoPretenses]

I can't get past the woman's winking and and sitting on that God awful stuffed bear to even comment on her book...and btw didn't she get a degree in journalism and can't write for herself???

[TwoSpirits]

Sarah has a journalism degree, took her five years and four colleges to get it...(something is definitely fishy there). With that degree why is it she can't seem to string together a coherent phrase?

I fear for the future of America.

When I read Huffpo and the venom spilled here, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

All I have read so far is outrageous accusations, blatant lies, cheap shots and more PDS than can fit in the whole state of Alaska.

I understand that "Shannyn with a Y" is a blogger, not a "reporter" so she can write whatever she wants, but let me tell you that reading her post today, she has nothing positive to say. Why is the girl from Homer so much wiser than the girl from Wasilla?

You leftists all sound like a bunch of third graders, name calling and teasing on the playground but ultimately stupid in the classroom. You don't do your homework (read up on the truth behind S52.91.70 or whatever the number is).

Shame, shame shame on all of you.

[Shannyn Moore - Huffpost Blogger]

When this article was written (Wednesday) the ethics of the governor working on a book were being questioned by many legislators. Jay Ramras is a Republican legislator and he thought it enough to ask for a ruling. The ruling didn't come out immediately.

As a citizen of Alaska, I have every right to ask questions. You may note the ethics board and DOL serve at will and may be fired without reason by the governor at any time. Walt Monegan found this out the hard way.

You are reading a post that is three days old...

[LauraAgain]

Okay, Shannyn, play it your way.

If you don't like the way Sarah Palin is governing Alaska, I suggest you declare your candidacy, endure a grueling campaign, get elected and then try to govern better.

I'm sure you can do it.

[imfedup]

Why don't you tell us "the truth behind S52.91.70?" Obviously we can't take this rule at face value. Silly us.

[Bronxdude]

Palin is a sad joke. Want to reduce the national debt: sell Alaska to China for 15 trillion dollars.

[CherokeeGirl]

I saw Shannyn on Keith last night and she mentioned "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" as a possible title for Sarah's book. It should be spelled "The Lyin', The Witch, and the Wardrobe"

Great job Shannyn! :)

Kudos to whomever came up with the title she used on the air. One degree of separation, baby! :)

[stillanidealist]

How in the ham and cheese can Sarah Palin know what "Alaska is all about?" No one can sum this place up; that's what I love about it. We are too mavericky to have one voice define us.

EXACTLY --- thank you Shannyn from a born and raised Alaskan.

[naughtymonkey]

I offer as a title for Palin's book--

The Sarah Palin Idiot's Guide on How to Prolong Your 15 Minutes of Fame

And too. Also. Ad nauseum.

[Vasudeva]

This will fiction correct? A novel so to speak? A story book. Ashort story book with lots of pictures?

Once upon a time there was a real 'merican girl who loved 'merica and the other real 'mericans. She was guided by GOD and conversed with GOD often. GOP gave her real pretty clothes to wear, but the had to be given back unless she could win over the evil 'mericans by a certain date. She didn't but she snuck off with them anyways. This real 'merican girl was named Sarah. She alwasy imagined she was made of teflon and nothing ever stuck to her, nothing was ever her fault.
Sarah was married to a real 'merican man who drove a snow machine, while all the other not so real 'mericans road and drove snow mobile. So he was known as the Iron Man Snow machine 'merican.
yaddy yaddy yaddy yadddy!!!
