Actually that would be a book for the current administration plus past ones. Now that I would read.  |

The same can be said for Obama's book. He didn't write it, and not too many copies sold. However, Palin's book "...she didn't write" will probably outsell Obama's book by a very large margin. That said, I am not planning to buy nor read Palin's book, simply because I am never interested on reading about politicians. |

The same can be said if "these Democrats." All (Democrats and Republicans) can be bought, and it doesn't take much. |

How many Dem's did Allen bribe and then send to jail?
Oh, yeah... he did offer Donny Olsen a bribe! I forgot about that[1].
Footnote 1: Olsen went straight to the FBI. |

If she shows up on Letterman then you know sales are flat. 
I always thought she lost the election because of McCain, not the other way around. |

All are corrupt, although we only know about it when they get caught. It's a simple as that. |

The usual suspects are up to making the bogus claims again - that is, lump Palin with other pols and say "all politicians are the same." Sorry, no dice. Palin, as Noo Yokers might say, is all hoss sh*t and hypocrisy. A fraud. A charlatan. Scum of the lowest kind.

I wasn't interested in jobs that were a flash in the pan, and did not give even the slightest consideration to anything in Barrow or on the Pipeline during the 1970's.
BTW, the stink from that still has not washed off of Eugene Brower. I am not as forgiving as you seem to be, but I would point out that he paid the price and then worked very diligently for years as the NSB Fire Chief. He is well thought of, but frankly when his wife ran for Mayor the primary reason she did not win was his history (which was probably an unfortunate result, too). |
