Mean girl

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

    all the news that's fit to print ; yet which few in " big media" actually do !

    thanks david talbot. this is what america REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW about this pretty face! I mean like here we had bridgeport connecticut's democratic mayor, joe ganim; whom a few years back was sentenced to 7 years in prison. this supposedly for " taking bribes in the form of gifts", things such as an addition on his house in black rock[ bridgeport's best, most upscale neighborhood]; from the tomasso construction " family"[ mafia-run] .

    then we had john rowland, connecticut's long time REPUBLICAN governor, whom did much the same and a lot more of it- dealing with that very same tomasso "family" owned construction business, as well as O&G industries[ asphalt paving/road construction/gravel mining]. he gave them both " exclusive" state contracts, both on building state office bldgs. and jails, etc.; as well as doing much of the needed roadwork. like on the " bridges {overpasses} to nowhere" freeway intersection of interstate 84 and CT freeway 9- which sat for over 35 years unfinished till gov. rowland " finally got them done" for "corrupt-necticut"!

    needless to say, rowland resigned before getting impeached, but was convicted of corruption. YET, unlike democratic bridgeport's mayor ganim, he only got 1 year's time and was early-released after just 10 months!

    funny how john rowland was a " good catholic Irishman in good standing with the church", and yes; a drunk whom drank in both classy cocktail lounges with the tomasso's; as well as southbury's former redneck bar called " misfitz" with the construction foremen from O&G industries!

    but by far, this jackass, the self-proclaimed " Pit-Bull with lipstick"; seems to have done way worse things than either rowland, or joe ganim ever even came close to doing! and UNLIKE john rowland- once done using her " friends in high, and low, places"; she then turns on them like any " good christian" HYPOCRITE would! sarah palin only claims to have reformed the good ole boy network, it looks like. yet she is literally " one of the good ole boys" with a vagina between her legs!

    the national " big media" needs to also run stories like this one, especially on CNN, MSNBC, even FOX-NEWS FOR IDIOT REPUGS![ FOX will never do that though!] just earlier, I went into lifetime television for women's web site; this to see what a mainstream network which[ supposedly?] supports and cares about women's issues; had to say about Mrs. Palin. nothing, as they claim to be non-partisan. but they did have something about what she wears from " marie claire" magazine, another rag dedicated to keeping women both pretty, and stupid; consumers of makeup and fashionable clothing! and that is sad, as what really matters to women, they must either read Ms., salon, or alternet; in order to find out about this PRINCESS OF CORRUPTION HERSELF!
