Mean girl

Sarah Palin has a way of using "old boys" -- then dumping them when they become inconvenient.

    Wow, David Talbot! What a B.S. artist you are!

    It seems to be working out for you, though.

    So a former Alaska legislator serving time for corruption feels "betrayed" because "after [his] indictment, she didn't give him the time of day" and "she called on him to resign his office".

    And during her 2 years as governor she failed to drive "the state GOP chairman Randy Ruedrich from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for flagrant conflict-of-interest abuses". He was only fined $12K and publicly disgraced.

    Well, that definitely proves that "the idea that Sarah shook up the state's old-boy network is one big fantasy" (so says the guy who came in single digits for the governor's race against Palin.)
